2021 Non-Crows AFL Talk 2: are the VFL corrupt?

[Kane McGoodwin]

My Port work colleague (the same one in the Sunday Mail last weekend) is planning to wear his prison bars jumper to the Collingwood away game.

I have told him I'm genuinely worried for his safety.

I will have to have a look, but I’m not surprised by that, both of our clubs have a genuine, healthy respect for one another

Yes... whilst I do agree that Port Powers flag chances are not as good as what they and their cult and media sympathisers would have you believe, until they are well and truly out of it, there is still the nerves and worry I don’t think I need to tell you that. Would be nice if they had somewhat of a challenging fixture

As for us (WCE) well we are definitely just trying to get through at the moment. Our biggest issue remains the midfield and the lack of depth we have there. There is a LOT more riding on getting Yeo back and having him in somewhat decent form... Our game plan has vulnerabilities, issues with contested and ground ball. You’re right, wet and dewy conditions are a weakness. We were able to adapt somewhat in that second wretched hub last season, but we need a full midfield to be able to compete...

Your kind words are appreciated

You’ll enjoy this read then
It’s how a lot of us feel about West Coast

also this little crack at Port is quite good ....

I can't get my head around grown men wearing a footy jumper to a game as a spectator.

There is so much nice apparel these days in your club colours, not like the old days where you wore your duffel coat.

It makes me think of the bike riders who look like tryhard w***ers with their "sponsored" lycra outfits riding to the cafe on the weekend.

Or every w***er on a Harley dressing up like he’s the head of The Finks.

I see no issue wearing one to a game as a spectator. It's part and parcel of the game - and every sport has people that wear their team's playing top to the game.

Now, places like Culture Kings, who try to act all hip and cool by selling sports teams apparel - and the people that buy/wear them but have no idea about the team they're wearing. I don't get that at all.

Culture Kings got absolutely roasted over the weekend for advertising a Pittsburgh Penguins guernsey as the 'Redhawks' - besides the fact Culture Kings have absolutely no idea about the teams they're selling apparel for, they're also selling the NHL's equivalent of the budget guernsey's the AFL sell in Kmart (but still trying to slug you $119 for it)

Each to their own but I reckon it is more a youngsters getup, seeing 40+ year olds sporting a beer gut in a footy jumper whilst scoffing a pie in the stands is not a good look.

Not saying you fine gentleman are over 40 with beer guts who like pies, more a general observation.

Police launch investigation after brutal altercation plays out at Adelaide Oval

Port Adelaide threatened strong punishments after the shocking footage was shared by 7NEWS.

Gutless coward.

I hope he gets life ban from the AFL and a jail sentence.

Thats ugly as f**k.

I'm over 40 don't have a beer gut, like my pies and wear my crows guernsey to the footy.

I’m 35 and ripped.

Well my jumper might have a slight tear.

For hitting a Port supporter?

The problem is: who would be attacking a supporter of the losing team? He was in mufti: could have been a Geelong supporter?

Put me in with the jumper wearers. Had no idea it was considered lame when it's pretty much a tradition in all sports across the world.

Can't help but think it's another one of those "Don't wear the band shirt of the band you're seeing" things.

I have never heard of the “band “ thing being a thing .....

I’ll accept it at a Grand Final. Maybe. *

Worst is when they have a number on the back.

What happened there? It looks like the bloke who threw the punches came in late, was he even in the initial scuffle?

No age "restriction", how old is too old?

Or are you guys still going to wear your footy jumper in your 70's whilst pouring a cup of tea out of your thermos?

Be great watching those tuck shop arms flapping around after a goal. Or will you go to long sleeves?

If Port can't sort out their financial woes and have to fold that is going to be terrible for SA footy, if this was a one team town, there would be zero accountability for performance and the VFL would hate us even more.

I wonder if it did happen if Port fans would become Crows fans or if they'd all pick a new team to support?
I'm not sure what I'd do.... I'd probably give up on footy and go all in on soccer or basketball or local SANFL

I think it would be absolutely fine to go back to the Crows being SA's only team. I loved the Kick a Vic days.

Port are a vague distraction, and it would have us MORE focused on success if they disappeared.

Most sports only have one team per state. Doesn't harm our BigBash team.

I don't drink tea or use a thermos so this doesn't apply
