Preview Good Friday football - Port Adelaide v West Coast Eagles @ Optus Stadium

[chickentendies]

I have no interest, so instead, for any West Coast supporters reading this, Andrew Gaff is a piece of s**t and if you were one of the campaigners cheering his every disposal last night while the teenager who he coward punched was running around on the same field then you're a piece of s**t too.

The treatment of Jonas vs the treatment of Gaff post hits is disgusting. Gaff getting his principal in for a ******* character reference is the poonciest private school boy thing I've ever seen.

 

[elsler]

not only that the afl listened to him i would have told him to gtfo you have no business in here

 

[Dalfino]

Jonas to hit Gaff again, get suspended for all-eternity and effectively end the co-captain nightmare, propelling us into illustrious form on a 21-game winning streak to the premiership.

Top read this thread.

Can't wait for the booing of Jonas and cheering of Gaff

 

[TeeKray]

Its been an issue since 2007.
I'm ready to call it a generational change.
There are people watching that don't remember football before 2007, let that sink in for a moment, they think this is normal.

It's been an issue longer than that. It's all to do with pressure and expectation. This club cannot perform under any level of pressure or expectation. The finals chokes under Choco were a symptom of the exact same disease that plagues us to this day. It's solidified club culture now, passed down through generations of players, and it will be very hard to change.

Yeah, his carry on at the tribunal was what really turned me against him. I can accept that an otherwise decent bloke might have a split second rush of blood and do something silly on a football field, but I can't accept the fact that afterwards he seemed more upset about the fact that he was actually going to suffer some consequences (probably the first consequences he's ever suffered for anything in his life) than about the fact that he'd just coward punched a teenager in the head. And then to see him crying after the Eagles won a flag because he didn't get to play while NicNat who also missed out was whooping it up and celebrating with his teammates just confirmed that. Entitled campaigner.

 

[dirty2]

Isn't our recent record against them in Perth OK? The wide oval suits our precision disposal and settled tall forward structure?

..........bahahaha tried to keep a straight face.

 

[JAlexG]

Ah well, not expecting much but maybe Gaff can s**t his pants or something when TJ goes near him.
Stupid little campaigner.

 

[Triple E]

Im pulling out all the stops in my fantasy league trying to trade in McGovern just for the week

 

[El_Scorcho]

I drafted Andrew Gaff in my draft fantasy league so I hope he gets a lot of useless kicks and marks and feels really bad about who he is as a person and that getting your high school principal in as a character reference is the most pathetic thing an AFL footballer has done in living memory.

 

[El_Scorcho]

As for the game, this is the entirety of how I feel about it going in:

What if you cheered a few of his disposals but not all of them?

Asking for a friend.

 

[B0ydmental]

I'll just put the match review post up now so I can enjoy Easter without bothering with the Kenstone Kops letting me down again

 

[Revan11]

West Coast by 40. We'll concede 7 straight goals, before pegging 5 back and them being run over in the last quarter.

I'd say that's unacceptable outside of goals, but testimony from his high school principal could sway me

 

[Portology]

The Port team enters Optus Stadium...

 

[ploppy]

I’m ok with Jonas elbowing one of the eagles players in the head in the first quarter even if he gets a really long suspension it would be a team effort of the highest order.

I'll get a written statement out to you as soon as I can. Can't have this lingering over my.. er I mean his head.

[sobrave]

We might literally not score at all this week

[Palpatine_Power]

only 38 hinkley games to go

We need a countdown on the front page!

Us scoring isn't actually the issue. It's stopping them from scoring (and scoring big) which will be the big problem.
