That’s the season.

Talk about s**tting the bed.

Off to the slopes Tom and Ollie- not long until the good wake boarding weather up the Murray.

Yeah that is one thing I find difficult to manage as a Power fan, the off-season seems to get longer and longer each year. So the players are basically on paid leave now until November? Where do I get a job like that?

We don't even have an AFLW team to fill in some of the summer void.

The score review is a farce. I can accept a goal being overruled for touched on the line, but if the field umpire doesn't call touched off the boot it should be play on. Had that Suckling kick been marked in the goalsquare by a dogs player who then goals they obviously can't go back and look at the Suckling touched off the boot. And it didn't even look to be touched off the boot.

I guess they figure they get the Suns next week, so home EF is a given. No need to take risks today.

I think their form has dropped off this season plus they struggle playing away from home

and there are dickheads on the main board making tarp jokes - is there even 15k at the giants game?

Are we dead yet?

Giants aren't what we should be setting the pass mark. an expansion club in a non AFL state.

Think the jokes are bad now, Wait until next week when we set a record low crowd at Adelaide oval. An indication of whats to come if Ken isn't sacked.

How’s the boys going to feel rocking up to the game knowing there is no point to it.

He’ll probably play Frampton to troll us all....

You can't troll empty seats.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Thanks Dogs- saves me an afternoon sitting in the s**t cold weather waiting for Ken’s babies to give up.

Saves me some coin too. No travel, parking, food ect

Dogs playing like a side that wan't to play finals. Hope most of our board are watching this.

 

[Marat]

11th - I will take that - we have been at that point where hope is a scourge - now we are prostrate, humiliated and utterly defeated - we can put away pretence and cast a cold eye on the dead embers of an era

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Dogs appear to have put in the sort of performance you would expect from a team with finals on the line

 

[Capital Power]

GWS' last goal almost an hour of playing time ago. Cue well and truly in the rack. I guess they don't need more injuries.

I imagine instead they are watching their own teams' games. Do we actually have any Power fans on the board these days?

 

[Jojay]

Still 'upbeat' Ken?

 

[melanChronic]

Ahh there's that old familiar feeling of going from a sure thing for finals to definitely out in quick time. You've done it again Hinkley you absolute genius.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Still 'upbeat' Ken?

I would imagine he is.... Probably planning his September Holidays.

 

[Kiss from a Rozee]

Well bugger

 

[powermacs]

Dogs have given away 5 free kicks halfway through the last quarter and I’ve seen 2 OOF. AFL just taking the piss now.

 

[manureid]

He still has no idea what happened last night.

 

[LFC2010]

Heath Shaw you spud!!

 

[PatientMental]

Watch the media try and blame our loss and failure to make finals on the players again.

If it happens for 5 years in a row with 2 completely different lists and assistant coaches, is it still the players fault?

 

[Capital Power]

GWS definitely tanking this game in the second half. If I was their coach I'd rather not have Port in the finals too.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Still 'upbeat' Ken?

Pretty sure we all know the script next week-

Tough comp

Glad we were in the hunt for finals up until the last round

Gave ourselves a good chance with some wins against good sides

Young side (yeah right Ken)

Work harder

Review

Come back next year determined

 

[TheFVK]

It's almost like the Dogs have something to play for
