Opinion Non-Crows AFL 7

[FR0GGY]

Its tempting fate bullshit from a fan base that has no right to be smug.

It’s really the whole 10 year with one coach and no flag bit.
I’d much rather be in our position and have a crack at trying a different coach every now and again.
Just imagine how much shit we’d cop if we were still rolling with sando with no results.

Just imagine how much s**t we’d cop if we were still rolling with sando with no results.

It's mind blowing when you put it that way. They got Ken a year after we got Sando. And here we are.

 

[baldandbroke]

Nah, footy forums are serious business. Takes a real 5head to work out that Port just beat a team they've historically handled, in a game where the least worst team faceplanted across the finishing line ahead of the other.

Clearly destined for multiple flags now.

Face-planted? Was that on purpose?

Nah he can't. Port traded every pick they have until a pick in the late 30s in this years draft in a huge deal to get Rioli and JHF. So unless they are willing to trade players for high picks or to become a destination club again by trading in the next missing piece, Port are essentially prisoners to the current squad.

I can see them trading Georgiadis now to get into the first round and maybe even Dursma for a pick in the 3rd. But they wont have the picks to get anyone. Plus free agents now wont be fooled in running to Port under the promise of premiership tilt. They are cooked. lol

To be honest, looking at us and port, i'd say we currently look like a club more on the up than they do from a prospective player trade perspective with our youth and how we are now playing. Hoping it continues for a ling time to come

 

[footy4ever]

So apparently Port Swans last night was game of the year.


FMD that’s a low bar to set.

 

[Cap]

Or maybe because of the c word.

Are we allowed to say that on big footy?

Campaigner.. oh you mean the other one

 

[Cap]

Yup, top 4 half way through to missing finals in a pretty pathetic way. No one survives that.

Once our players downed tools, they were all cooked.

Gove Pyke a lot of respect for pulling the pin when he did.

Others, not so much.

Easter was early this year.

I’m not sure Georiadis has too much currency at the moment, a year ago he’d be a high first round pick, now, a low second.

The Russians opened the stadium gates….when I say Russians I mean Chinese, when I say Chinese I mean Port

 

[1970crow]

No chance. This league is very even atm. Port lost inside 50s by 22 tonight, they aren’t winning many matches like that.

not an absolute stat. Freo broke even with us for inside 50s and lost by 40 points. There's a qualitative factor that is extremely important. You could see it that bearing Swans away whilst losing the inside 50 count by 22 is a very good sign. Tidy up their work between the arcs and they could be highly competitive.

Swans losing 2 KPD was a blow and the umps gave them 2 soft crucial goals late.

Swans also played like shit, their forward entries were dumb and too Buddy focussed. They’ve got other talent. It would be like us channeling the majority of our entries to a done Tex and ignoring Fog and Thilthorpe.

 

[spenze]

Anyone get the chance to watch the last minute of the game again, watch the way that with 25 seconds still on the clock, Florent turns his back on Swans players streaming down the fat side to take the kick. I mean sure, he'd have never of kicked the 40 metres they were away nfrom him but to turn your back and then not make the distance...

The Swans may brag about a no dickheads policy but they are stacked with a bunch of selfish campaigners who aren't team oriented.

Still, beating Sydney up there is a good win.

 

[Velvet George]

No doubt, especially after the week they’ve had.

When you look at their losses, maybe they weren’t that bad. Red hot Pies at the G and I think we are appreciating we are pretty good if we play our best footy. Our scoring potential is immense.

I’m happy having them on the edge of the 8, they won’t make top 4 and they won’t win it.

20 year AFL Premiership reunion next year could be awkward.

Lol

There is going to be a real divide especially when most supporters want Ken gone.

Those defending Ken though are not really doing it for Ken . It's guys like Kane and Cassisi trying to protect Chad, Hartlett, Lobbe and others.

Chad is basically unemployable in the AFL industry outside of Port. Kane isn't going to call for Ken to step down and do his brother out of a job.

 

[Mutineer]

I’m not sure Georiadis has too much currency at the moment, a year ago he’d be a high first round pick, now, a low second.

Nah he'll attract plenty of takers if he makes himself available just on the potential he has shown. He would still attract a decent pick, certainly better than a low second IMO.

The story of Port under Ken has been a good team that can't get it done against the great teams. The downhill skiier moniker didn't come up with itself.

This year, they are not in the same group as Collingwood, Melbourne or probably Carlton.

In the next bracket with Sydney, Brisbane, Richmond and Bulldogs of teams who have been up the top but hanging on and could slide very easily

It could be an interesting season with about 12 clubs with top 8 credentials.
