So Nicks again instead of accepting it was a poor choice, spun bullshit again.
In Nicks we do not Trust
I think Worrells extra 8cm on Doedee is even more relevant after Tom did his knee (first time) as he didn't seem to have much of a vertical leap afterwards. Opens up a lot more favourable match ups for sure.

P.S. This turned out to be longer than I expected. If you do not like long posts because they are long, please do not read on.
All domestic violence.
"So far this year 28 women have lost their lives — 28 families who have lost a loved one to gendered violence. That's 13 more women compared to the same time last year. In April alone, 11 women died allegedly at the hands of men.".
www.abc.net.au
I could not find hard data on men killed by female partners, only this in a statement from the Dept. of PM and Cabinet, 30/04/24:
"89 per cent of victims of intimate partner homicides were women." and this in Google:
" Four men were killed by an intimate partner in 2022-23 [in Australia]".
Fwiw, I agree with this:
"For decades women have done the heavy lifting to try and address gendered violence.
But if any inroads are to be made, it's going to require a coalition of men who not just acknowledge the problem but create a culture that calls out sexist and misogynistic behaviour that so often serves as a precursor to violence. " (ABC op.cit. above, my emphasis)
From the same article, incredibly, there's this:
"One rally attendee told the ABC she had been unable to convince her husband and son to come. They had decided it was a "women's issue"".
To clarify further --- that some men kill their partners does not make us all bad men. Not at all.
However, Domestic Violence and sexual violence by some men against women happens so often that women do not feel safe in normal social conditions that we men take for granted.
Literally, they live in fear, on a daily basis. Those women, ALL women, are our mothers, sisters, friends, partners. All of us are close to women in our lives.
I don't know what their fear is like because I am male. I don't second-guess what I wear when I go out, out of fear of unwanted attention or sexual predation. I don't check my car before I get in it in Parking stations or elsewhere. I am not afraid to go for a walk, solo, early in the morning or late at night. I do not carry a key sticking out of my fingers as a defensive weapon, just in case.
All I know and believe strongly is that it needs to change.
Yes; male ==> female, female ==> male.
All domestic violence.
As far as I understood it, the moment of silence pre-game was about ending domestic violence and to pay respect to these victims:
"So far this year 28 women have lost their lives — 28 families who have lost a loved one to gendered violence. That's 13 more women compared to the same time last year. In April alone, 11 women died allegedly at the hands of men.".
'Be better my dudes': Why lots of men are feeling uncomfortable about the domestic violence conversation
The unspoken undercurrent of the week is that it's clear there are a lot of men feeling uncomfortable about this conversation. That doesn't make them bad men. It should be uncomfortable.

Oh dear.... not sure anyone has caught this yet, tempted to let the Port board know...
I've spotted Rozee trying to be subtle and stretch the hammy out less than 5 mins into the first Q.
He then feels his hammy, so you can bet he's aware of it THAT early into the game...

Kenny looks like someone who won fan of the day.

That's what I think too.
Ken just got on the front foot to take the bullet to control the situation.
Port's cowboy approach to player safety is definitely a cultural issue, surely no one believes that it's Ken who is making all these calls.

Ah yeah. Smith was low impact, obviously. I won't go so far as to say he was poor and I am aware of the pressure act stats and everything but certainly not a high impact player off the bench. Nicks didn't even need to comment on Smith's performance at all as he was just asked about Curtin coming off, so a bit weird he felt the need to throw that in.

Had a quick look and besides the LOLs, I'm amazed J_Anus is still around. Thank God he/she/they don't post here anymore.
Port in particular struggle to score when teams get extra numbers in their central forward area, so I can see the temptation to bring in an extra defensive pressure player. "Pressure acts" are all well and good but with the lack of HTB decisions paid these days the result is often that the ball stays in opposition forward area and opposition are at least a 50/50 to recover. Fortunately with Port, they didnt seem to have much of a plan to work around and mostly took rushed snap shots that missed. But in general I see that a way to go slowly backwards on the scoreboard. I would prefer we focussed more on finding more avenues to transition out of defence and back into offence. Easier said than done I know. But nothing puts pressure on a team like scoring goals at the other end.
Ken is not the coach. He has no say in anything that happens on game day.
He is purely used to deflect pressure on Carr.
Carr's showdown coaching record is currently 0-3.
That was a smart bit of play! And looked intentional to me.

He's like a big, cuddly father-figure to us all.Thats every Crows supporter comfy security blanket, having Ken as coach of Port, we are safe from them winning the flag.

To be honest, that's not much worse that our own Matthew Nicks thread. Seems like both coaches are just taking different roads to the same destination ie Not-Winning-Flagsville.They don't eat their own

We’ve got our own version
Matt Crouch is a better player than Rory Laird, and I'll shout it till the cows come home. We would have won the Essendon game if Crouch played I have no doubt, he's the midfielder who does the dirty work and has the best hands.
I'm sick of the Crouch slander he's an important player for us.

agree with all this except the bit about Berg. He is a dud and we will never be a decent team if he is in it. Can we draft the junior Murray in the MSD and try him out?
