Let's talk Ports! Part 2

Port Power doesn't bother me in the slightest but it gets mentioned it seems every off season.

 

[Us against the rest]

Always be Port Adelaide to me.

how old is too old to wear an alkaline trio t shirt?

I appreciate that whoever made this video was being creative and trying to do something a bit different, but "Hewitt" and "Leinert" is amateurish crap.

This is an odd question to ask about a band that released their first album in 1998.

Hey guys I'm just mucking around with AFL Evolution and making the 2019 PAFC list.

Just wondering if you guys agree with these ratings. What would you change?

90: R.Gray
85: Westhoff
84: Jonas, Wines
82: Dixon, Hartlett, Boak, Ryder
80: Motlop, Rockliff, Ebert
79: Clurey, Powell-Pepper
78: Houston, Lycett
77: Howard
76: Marshall, S.Gray, Burton
75: Watts, Byrne-Jones, Bonner
72: Lienert
71: Broadbent, Atley
70: Rozee, Trengove, Amon, Mayes
69: Frampton, Farrell
68: Butters, Duursma, Johnson, McKenzie
67: Hayes
66: Drew, Hewett, Garner, Patmore, Ladhams
65: Pudney, Frederick, Grundy, Cox, Woodcock

That's tricky. It depends on attributes.

Jonas has very slow reflexes, but his ability to read the play in defence, and impact not only his but other contests, while still shutting down his man, makes him a 100 defensively, but his offence is mediocre and speed low, so how does he balance out? Ollie overall has a lot more going for himself in strength, agility, marking, ball winning ability, etc, so does that make him higher or how high do you value the 100 defence.

So tough job.

I'd have Ryder higher, Rockliff a bunch lower, Burton higher, DBJ higher, Lienert lower. Maybe a couple other adjustments but it isn't unreasonable.

Come, enter my house.
Eat food that I have prepared for you.
I will not eat.
I will only watch.
The dog will sense your weakness.
You cannot hide them.

Jonas I feel is a better player than Wines at the moment, but Wines is the more “gifted” player and is younger. So I made them the same.

I’ve got Lienert as a best 22 player so I didn’t want to put him under 70.

Ryder a year ago I’d have on par with Hoffs rating but with the niggling injuries he’s got I under-rated him a bit, Similar thing with Broadbent.

It’s probably been posted before but it put a smile on my face this Wednesday morning.

I feel I will be using this image a bit this year, may have to sharpen up my rudimentary Photoshop skills though.

Ran into Quinny on a recent trip to Sydney, he was on his way to the State tournament. Was a pretty handy footballer as well, and didn’t mind playing the role of DJ at the footy club.

So given our list is full, is that one F/S prospect + 2 NGA players?

Is Pickett in our NGA. If not, why is he allowed to train with us?

Just part of the AFL Academy program, they get a week with AFL clubs,

Ah yeah forget that those players get allocated. Now there was a story they have expanded from 30+20 players to over 150. But that list training at AFL clubs doesn't look like 150.

 

[DaTBird187]

s**t, if Cameron Taheny was NGA, I would Randy Marsh all over the place.

 

[Tibbs]

Young Trent Burgoyne is definitely in the program ... He is also a father/son, so should have been allocated to Port! So where is he?
