Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[Bearded Clam]

Considering how the Dawson ball swung, and how badly of a choke job Port were doing, I reckon even Nick Gill makes that set shot. It's like the Monfries bounce from years ago, sometimes all the luck is going your way.

I cant believe how many times I’ve now watched the replay of that Dawson goal..

Its so fckn delicious!..

I have actually been focusing on some of the reactions of the powa flogs in the powa cheersquad the last couple of times ive replayed it too..

they are priceless..

waving their stupid big pompoms.. then when its clear its a goal the waving stops and the anger and bitterness sets in.. one even throws their pompom down onto the field in disgust.

So much salt..

It’s almost better than if it went straight through the middle.

Although, if it happens again, I’d prefer he kick it straight through the middle…

I would love on the Crows socials them doing a clip with Murphy trying to make that kick.

And him nailing it, of course.

How about everyone on the list takes a shot from that spot?

Sounds like the Ken PR Machine has clicked into action, Chief Cheerleader S.Rowe pumping up the tyres this morning. 'Loved by the players', 'only a vocal few want him gone', 'Boaky kicks the goal they win' just a few of the lines in Ken's defence.

Long may this praise continue!

More cash-for-comments Rowe.

The irony is, it must kill him every time because he truly hates Port.

 

[footy4ever]

Ken won't get saved this year IMO

It will be treated as a blip, injuries, unforeseen coach losses etc.

Mid next year could be different

Doubt he'd move out of Victoria, very close with his 2 teenage sons Jett 15 and Ayce 13.

Are they really their names? Wow.
That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about old FIGJAM

They're pretty conventional names going by 2022 standards, check our some of the names running around in the SANFL U18's and U16's this season.

Yes, but Melbourne's only 45 minutes away, and while he'd be making a packet in the media, he'd like to be at least on Ken's money.

Also I believe the general thought is Port can't afford to sack Ken, but when has not being able to afford anything stopped these parasites from acting like two bob millionaires? Mummy and Daddy AFL will have to cough up yet again.

Like I said I'll be surprised if he takes up a gig outside of Victoria....I doubt he's short of quid also.

Absolutely not short of a quid. Nor was Don Pike, but footy does strange things to football people. It was even intimated by Gary Lyon in the wash-up after the showdown and Bucks started to shut him up quick smart even before Lyon had finished what he was saying about it ha ha ha.

Not Clarkson?

I reckon Schofield will be their next coach.

Cheap, AFL approved.

And ideal for the stage they will be in when he takes over. Similar to Nicks after Pyke.


And I honestly think he would be a great get for them.


Debate would be if Schofield takes over in 2023 or 24.

Not Clarkson?

Not that I'd know, but Id think Clarkson would be looking for something more 'glamorous' like holding off to be the king of Tasmania.

And I don't think Port could sponge enough money for Clarkson, not that Buckley'd be that much cheaper I guess.

Montgomery I reckon.

Will get the caretaker gig next year, they will knock off a few lowly sides and then he'll get the job full time.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Every home game you can get free tickets one way or another to their games.

They are shit scared of having 25k there and how that looks on TV on the Thursday night national stage.

When there's 40k there and looks like a good crowd, no one watching on TV knows that half them didn't pay.

 

[Jack McKraken]

I know that Clarko will probably end up in charge of the Tasmania bid, or possibly on huge dollars to sort out Gold Coast, but if Port go 0-5 or even 1-4, and with Clarko potentially available end of this year, surely someone on the board is having a few conversations…

As they are in several clubs around the country

Haven't read last few pages, apologies if this has been mentioned.

I've heard from two different people today that Clarko has bought a house in Grange. Now, neither of these people have any football source that I know of, so take that for what it is - likely bullsh!t. At best it lights a fire of hope in Pear supporters, only to lose out yet again when he goes to GC, GWS or Tassie.

 

[Grooster24]

This is ridiculous.... You have a team who just played off in a Prelim coming up against the Premiers. And on a Thursday night which is showing to be quite popular. That should be a packed house already.

 

[Peter Doherty]

I've got a mate who is from the US. He lived in Adelaide for 3 years, supported AFC, but was taken to a Port Power match one time by work mates.

He was telling me about the experience, 'Half the crowd looked like ice addicts, it was messed up'.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Doesn’t matter who Port get, the players are soft.

The melts on FiveAA are fantastic

 

[aabp1978]

Listening to 5AA - this is almost better than watching the Dawson goal …so many melts about their “premiership list”

They've always been fair weather. That's what the whole "Never Tear us Apart" thing is about. It's a plea to their supporters.
