AFL 2017 - R7 - Port Adelaide v West Coast Eagles - 16:05 ACST, AO

[ZingerB]

Roo is so concerned about being the appearance of being biased against Port that he actually ends up barracking for them. It's weird.

That's why we like him more than Dwayne Russell who does the opposite.

It only hurts because you know it's right.
And 68 Inside 50's to 38 says that you hung on.
And 70 less possessions and also being out-tackled says that you hung on with a fair slice of luck.
And 9 less clearances.
And 5 less scoring shots.
And 8 more clangers despite getting far less of the ball.
All suggest a very very big slice of luck.

That's why it hurts to lose. But all the best - enjoy the win. Winners are grinners, after all.

*noticed that WCE fans felt the need to quote the free kick count in their defence, yet get upset when the reverse happens 80% of the time*

Mate, not saying that we werent lucky. By every indication today except the scoreboard your mob were clearly the better side.

But in the end, we won by guts and effort in the face of overwhelming odds. Umpiring just wasnt a factor, which seems to be what everyone else is harping on about.

For once, heartless soft-***** like Masten and Redden actually cowboyed-up and and helped to drag us over the line when we really should have been dead and buried. The pervasive "lol umps" attitude on show from numerous posters is just straight-up wrong, as they didnt contribute to the result.

 

[Alesana]

The fact that you looked, tells you something, doesn't it.

It tells me that you're full shit. Is that what you mean?

 

[PowerForGood]

As someone who hasn't paid attention is he really that bad?

We have had Pavlich commentate West Coast and I thought he was pretty good.

Yes - even worse was when he commentated on the Showdown. I mean, lets be honest, a Crows Board Member and someone who hates Port Adelaide so much that he punched on at the Ramsgate - to be commentating. Seriously?

Jako was like that.

 

[Yankees32]

Eagles lucky they Have kicked straight today. No chance of a premiership this year

So Port we're unlucky with their kicking??? Poor kicking = poor footy... Simple as that

 

[PowerForGood]

It tells me that you're full shit. Is that what you mean?

I'm glad that you are finally getting to see what the rest of us have to put up with for the 80% of the time that WCE's get a lopsided free kick count.

If anyone wants to have a laugh, read the AFL report. http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2017/7/port-v-wce

Not a single mention of Port Adelaide's dominance of everything except the scoreboard- obviously a very even game.

So clearly I was watching a different game, and should stop now.

Correct.

 

[PowerForGood]

So when you hang on to win in the face of pressure it's luck. When you batter a team from go to whoa it's flat track.

Please tell me the correct way you'd like to see teams win.

The correct way (and only way) to win is to score more.
Everything else is just opinion. And opinions are like backsides - everyone has one.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

spot on mate..its ruddy bizarre

Msimilar to dunstall in way

With Healy he is the best special comments in the game, but he is overly harsh on hawthorn IMO

This bit was funny;

BEST
Port Adelaide: LeCras, Shuey, Yeo, Priddis, Hearn, Shephard, Barrass, Sheppard
West Coast: Dixon, Ryder, Wingrad, Ebert, Jonas

A few fails going on there...

Cameron Ling was the worst... back when Hawthorn were competitive you could almost feel his erection for the opposition through the TV.

Any time you hear his shrill, nasal voice is just nauseating. The worst going around at the moment IMO

What happens in the other 20% of the time that we get a lop sided free kick count?

 

[peppy la pew]

Not bad for a injury depleted side away from home......

Nic Nat would of made a huge difference to this game

Agreed, although Ryder was superb today, long overdue mind

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

West Coast > Port.

 

[Kram]

Jako was like that.

I loved Jako, he was so bad at commentary he was actually good.

 

[Benji85]

On a per possession basis, Eagles won the free kick count clearly.

Who is Mark Rissoni???

Mark Rissotto/Mark Rigatoni. Either way he's cooked

 

[Magus]

The better team won. Bad kicking is bad football. We didn't learn from trying to spot up targets inside a crowded forward line and they killed us on the rebound.

 

[Benji85]

We have had Pavlich commentate West Coast and I thought he was pretty good.

Pavlich has been terrible, his calling last week was a blight. Mind you he's not Drew Banfield bad, pray he doesn't get to that level

 

[Forward Press]

Not his fault that commentary for Jako is like rocket surgery.

Your field dominance was also your demise.

Once we got it out of your attacking 50 we were dangerous.

Definitely think it was a game plan of ours and worked well

haha this can't be real.

*checks link*

Holy f*** it is.

Just like a knife through hot butter.

This one is awesome.

I think we need a free kick per possession ladder done up haha
