Review Good/Bad vs Port Power Est. 1997 R20 2023 "Migraine" edition

[Punchy Bassett]

I find it uncomfortable booing a south australian kid and one of the best we’ve produced out of state program along with Rozee and Rankine over last 20 yrs

He’s going to be some player . I’m just going to enjoy any chance we beat him as he will beat us many times

Why? It's a club competition not a state competition and he plays for the enemy.

Two things.

1. Racism is more common than you seem prepared to admit. And every single racist who revelled in booing Goodes would insist they were doing it for other reasons. Maybe even kidding themselves, which is common among racists. Be careful before going where you just went.
2. Non-racists who think they were doing a good thing by booing Goodes for other reasons, need to realise that they were facilitating racists. People need to grasp this. It’s not just about them and their personal thoughts about how Goodes played. Every racist in the crowd would be in seventh heaven to see it happening and rip in with full voice and hateful joy in their hearts. Do you really want to be cheering along with them?

Take off your everyone is racist glasses...

On the one hand independent doctors is a no brainer.

On the other, will it throw up inconsistent outcomes as with all things AFL?

I'm sure I read somewhere that there are independent doctors... perhaps not at every game, but they review head clashes etc (I think this is where Doedee was forced into the protocol after the fact). They absolutely need an independent doctor at EVERY game, doing real time reviews. After the fact doesn't stop the player being allowed to go back out on the ground (ala Aliir).

I have always rated Buckley apart from him being a FIGJAM. I recall being at Football Park watching a match against Ireland. He would be good at any sport.

He was a FIGJAM as a player... and why I was happy for him to never win a premiership.... however, post playing... I find him thoroughly listenable and dare i say it, almost likeable? JHF has such class at times. Once he hones that and gains more experience, he will be amazing to watch. Hope he never wins a premiership either.

Betts kicked a left footed torp from the boundary in the wet from 50m.

Brilliant goal, I don't think it carried though.

 

[jenny61_99]

Very fiery and borders on petulant. Too early to call but that may be what holds him back. Seems to have fair chip on the shoulder - but also a great swagger and confidence

Could go either way

Rachele has the same petulance....

Why would I boo a south australian kid for no reason ?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Temperament is the worry for mine...

Really ?????

Nah he’s just a competitor

I really think he ends up a star of competition and potential Brownlow medallist

No worry re his skill level either including footskills

Selwood always played with a chip on his shoulder

Correct. Bounced a few metres short.

 

[Slippery Pete]

The other player I reckon who could do it is Carey — though he wasn’t one to purposely run onto it, he did have a very good non-preferred foot.

Not possible. It would have fallen off given how often he ducked

It's ok though coz he plays for us

These guys are 19, maturity is not that common tbh

Exactly. Even Tex had a cockiness about him that Neil Craig attempted to stifle (by not rewarding him with games).

Dangerfield as well

Time will be the judge...

Way too early for that kind of talk.

Hahahahahahaha

If he played at crows everyone would be in raptures

He doesn't and his acts of petulance isn't something I want to see from young footballers still making their way in the game.

 

[WeeBlake]

Dangerfield stands out as one who was truly great without the exceptional skills.

He’s not on the Ablett tier, for mine

If he played at crows everyone would be in raptures

We would, but if we were honest with ourselves we’d wonder if his career would take a Rich/Wines trajectory, or a Dusty trajectory

What specific acts of petulance ?

Thought he was pretty well behaved in the showdown

The port tough boys were almost a bit limp eg SPP , Wines etc

Gave away 3 free kicks before he had a disposal of his own. 8 clangers.

I'm not changing my opinion until I start seeing him being way more team orientated in his ways.

People talking Brownlows/Buckley/Ablett need to cool their jets a little.

 

[Golumless]

Get 8 AAs and a brownlow and you're at least in the bottom half of the Ablett tier.

 

[rabidcrow]

Rachele has the same petulance....

Yes they are similar in some ways. JHF a bit more surly but they do have similar traits
