Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[1970crow]

Pyke to Brisbane?

makes more sense than when his name is being attached to a developing group.

 

[DJ75]

Body of work?

Absolute rubbish trotted out by the VFL when they nominate a player having forgotten to watch the non-Victorian teams play.

 

[DJ75]

I normally detest Port merchandise, but I saw this today at the AFL store and it brought a smile to my face

just in case you missed the most important detail I took a close up pic of it

And yet they sing NTUA like it's someone else destroying the Magpie heritage....

 

[FR0GGY]

Longmire did yeah

Longmire never coached us as far as I can remember.

Pyke to Brisbane?

The travel time to the gold coast camp would be much less for him

 

[DJ75]

I heard Trengove announced somewhere as “A Port Adelaide legend”……slap me stupid and f*** me drunk……biggest load of wank and s**t stupid reporting I’ve ever heard.

Actually hilarious. Although maybe says more about the quality of the Port Adelaide 'legends'

Get Burton and the band back together.

What's hass up to these days

What's hass up to these days

In rugby isn’t he, it’s a rugby state, match made in heaven.

 

[Maddogmetro]

I don't see why a club founded in 1997 should be allowed to copy an established AFL side's brand?

I'd be happy for them to wear it in round 23 so we can put the nail in the coffin that is their shit season, with them losing to us in their precious guernsey.

Koch was on AA again this morning whinging about the prison bars.

I know that opinions are divided here about who is wrong or right...

Hard to know without being a Port supporter but surely constantly putting the prison bars on a pedestal, going on about it all year every year, sort of permanently relegates their current jumper to an unwanted second best, something they can't really embrace and get behind?

I can't imagine constantly wishing we were wearing another jumper whenever we ran out.

Maybe some of those white away strips are as close as I can imagine haha

Their current re-coloulered state jumper replica is a good one, if I'm them, I'm forgetting about the prison bars for a period of time and really building a marketing push around pride in the current jumper or they'll forever be disappointed.

Hey, maybe wear their 2004 premiership jumper in their "heritage" showdowns and we can wear a design from the first showdown too.

Yes, this. I sort of understand their passion for "da bars", but as you say, it's getting to the point where it's disrespectful to their current jumper, as though it's second best. And as though the SANFL team / history is more important than their AFL presence and future.

what a player.

David Mundy retiring at the end of the year.

Disappointing that a genuine champion of the game like Mundy doesn't get the recognition that a scumbag like Joel Selwood receives

 

[Maddogmetro]

Brisbane will be bundled out of the finals again. Mentally weak, and questions should start being asked about Fagan. Having a ruck as the medi-sub was baffling. They lost all balance once Bailey went off.

Charlie is also the biggest downhill skier.

He has one performance in which he actually showed up in a big match. And that was back in the 2017 PF. Goes to water in every other big game.

Nah. He averages more goals a game in finals than he does H&A. Kicked 5 against Melbourne and 3 against the Dogs last year

He's not the reason they don't win finals

Just had a look through the stats - I stand entirely corrected.

Had it in my mind for some reason, but it was obviously wrong.

He had a few poor finals with us but at Brisbane he's been quite solid

The same heritage/history they have removed all record of from the SANFL.

Remember how Port Magpies were to stay in the SANFL, and Port Power was to be a new franchise? That was what they agreed to. Now the Magpies don't exist in the SANFL.

100% agree. Mundy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Selwood

I thought it was the other way around. The PA Magpies FC was incorporated to put a team in the SANFL and the original entity took on the AFL sub-license.

Was probably our BOG in 2016 when we got demolished by Sydney. Didn't disgrace himself in the GF either.

Is all just PR. The longer they're a victim, the longer they can convince supporters that it's 'us against them'.

Their PR machine is second to none imo.

Have named Phillips as their inaugural captain. Perfect for generating more hype about their women's team.

I had a few of port friends who thought YNTUA was a cringe rip off when they first started it, and now they love it.

Port definitely don't underestimate nostalgia.

I don’t see the issue with this:

I reckon it looks better than their current one.
