Dear Geelong Supporters,
I am sorry for the way my weak excuse of a club treated your players on the weekend, our coach calls it tough football, but I see it as a bunch of soft guys trying to act tough by going after players and trying to injure them, Whoever tried to get Gary Abletts head between their knees in the first quarter should be dropped but knowing our coach he wont be because apparantly that is "TOUGH FOOTBALL". Ever since the Grand Final I hated the GFC but that changed this year when I started to see how Geelong are I always tell my mates that Geelong is a "Real Honest Club" and the fact that they just focus on winning games and nothing else and Port Adelaide should really take a leaf out of your books. Obviously I support a minority of Power supporters but hopefully this will show you that not all supporters liked the way our club acted on the weekend.
 
Thanks for that. I was shocked and glad we got through without suspensions. And the player you are referring to was 21.
 
Dunno who it was that got gaz's head in a grip between their knees but K Cornes delibrately kneed Ablett in the back of the head when he was on the ground later on.

FFS. You're carrying on like we're the only team that's ever gone the 'biff'* when the chips are down.

Get a grip.

*I use the term lightly. The events of yesterday were far far softer than some of the stuff I've seen the likes of Ablett snr., Mark Yeates and Buddha Hocking deal out. Let's get some perspective. 'Sniping'?! Please.

There's a reason for the bolded part. Port Adelaide players are a lot softer than Ablett snr, Yeates and Buddha. Simple as that.

Kornes again...
The guy should stick to tagging and not worry about being 'creative' as some Port fans have said...

If you were a team that had little talent it may have some value. But when you have a reasonably talented side its a dumb tactic as the scoreboard showed. Especially when the culprits were amongst your most talented players.

We've got massive problems on and off the field as a club, no-one is denying that (except Chocolate Williams, oh joy of joys - see avatar), but this righteous indignation from all and sundry that our performance yesterday was some sort of filthy tribute to the halcyon days of yore is fanciful and forgetful.

Yesterday's display of aggression was largely misguided and you can say it backfired (we'd have been smashed anyway), but seeing people everywhere in the print media and on these boards calling it 'sniping' and 'thuggery' is absurd.

You'd think someone was loaded in the back of an ambulance with a broken jaw and the perp was facing months at the tribunal, yet despite there being cameras everywhere there was no case to answer.

You steamroll on - good luck to you - we'll continue to struggle in a large Egyptian river, but posts like Alberton Magpie's are indicative of just how soft the game has become in general.
 
Sorry to intrude boys, but AM you are a girls' blouse. No joke. Footy is a man's game. Maybe you should go watch the friggin' badminton in future.


And well done cats. Far too good yet again.

LOL I play football and have for close to 10 years, I dont know about you but unless you played wemons football you wouldnt know sh*t, if you have you would know the difference between being hard at the ball and being a soft dog going hard at the man.

No I play hockey. Take no prisoners and go hard. I've been watching football for long enough to be able to differentiate between sniping and hard footy.

I acknowledge that we overdid it as we were second to the ball and thus conceded too many free kicks but you are just plain ridiculous.

Don't give me crap about being a female, I'm far tougher than you'll ever be. :cool:
 
Port just proved again that playing hard at the man never beats playing hard at the ball. They just looked stupid doing all that physical stuff because we all know that isn't their natural game. Changing from what you do well to what you badly as a gameplan makes me wonder if chocco williams needs to get the sack at the end of this season. Fresh blood needed at that club.

Hockey is hardly the same as Football, its easy to watch something for a long time but playing it is another thing, so unless this topic is about a wemons hockey game getting out of hand you wouldnt really know dick, other than stuff you have saw and what you think is correct.

Oh by the way wemon on bigfooty arnt the sort of wemon that men look for, so im sure your probably the tough woman that you are, but I wouldnt call it tough, I would call it Feral, Butch, Ugly, Slag etc etc etc

What's a "wemon"? A female lemon? Piss off idiot.

The problem is that you look stupid doing it when you're second to the ball all game. Our focus was on the wrong part of the game.(and the fact we're way outsized by you guys anyway so it hardly slowed you down let alone stopped you)

FWIW I saw Geelong play the same style of game at Kat Park a few years ago when we beat you convincingly there. It just doesn't work.

Anyway, well played. You're a good side. We all acknowledge that. Thank god you had a few players out.

No I am actually sorry about what I said about girls on Bigfooty, they are generlisations and very harsh comments im not a sexist, sorry if anyone was offended by what I said :o I feel embarrased about putting all females in the same boat on Bigfooty in the same boat when I was angry at one female.
 
Don't know why the OP is apologising, it should be the Power themselves apologising for not only getting thumped again by us, but by being CRAP at going the knuckle. It wasn't even heartfelt on their part, when the bodycount only consisted of Milburn getting a cut head. You won't even notice a scar on his rude bonce. Garbage effort.

C'mon, you can't say that was deliberate on Milburn. It was totally accidental by Robbie Gray and he was going hard at the ball. If we presented ourselves at contests like that play instead of watching the man I believe we would have been a lot closer. One positive I took out of the game was Robbie Grays attack on the footy when he went on the ball.

Anyway, enjoy the win. Too big, too strong and team orientated for us. The Cats are a very very good side and will take a lot of beating this year.
