Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 17

Why on earth would the SNAFL even care?

It's another way of penalising the two AFL club's.

 

[Janus]

Interesting listening to Leppitsch on SEN saying the on the mark rule might not suit Port and their big mids like Wines , Rocky and Boak... No idea why?

Also said he doubts us away from Adelaide oval and Brisbane to him are the real challenger to Richmond.

Lol

The same Justin Leppitsch who coached Brisbane and was an assistant at Richmond?

The same Brisbane who got flogged by Geelong at home in a prelim after playing almost every game in their home state? Who just lost Cameron Rayner for the season with an ACL, while Port added class in Aliir and Fantasia?

Get off the drugs, Leppitsch.

 

[RossFC]

Why on earth would the SNAFL even care?

They want to screw us over in any way possible.

No zones, no juniors, no academy, no prison bars, no home ground, a cap on AFL listed players, no sub allowed to play SANFL, tried to erase our history in the footy budget, tried to make us pay yearly fees, Our SANFL players on $200 a game, charging Port fans double to watch games on the digital pass.

All stuff they've either got through or are fighting for.

Freo staying in touch.

 

[Dalfino]

This game is pure garbage. Rip Freo this year with all the injuries they are having.

 

[Coobk001]

I see 2 ways this Freo game is going. 1. Melb actually start winning clearances and it gets ugly, or 2. Freo actually start playing like they've touched footy's before and make a game of it.

 

[Tibbs]

How the hell are you supposed to listen to the footy online, 5aa just says go to AFL.com and when you go there no link to listen, it lists all the stations covering the game in the match centre but those icons are not links, for the life of me I can't find a link to listen. What am I missing here??

Just click here and you get a list of stations to choose ... click .... listen

 

[Coobk001]

lol Freo are just comical.

 

[PAFC66]

Both sides are just shit house

 

[Coobk001]

Both sides are just sh*t house

Melbourne aren't impressive at all, but holy hell the amount of ball Freo are butchering is amateur level

Symbiotic - denoting a mutually beneficial relationship between different people or groups.

Symbiosis is a group of relationships, not all necessarily mutually beneficial.

What Is A Symbiotic Relationship? - Sciencing

In a world where competition among individual organisms drives evolution, the concept of symbiosis seems foreign. Symbiosis describes a close association of two organisms that benefits at least one of the organisms. At times, these close relationships evolve; some beneficial relationships may go...

Fox Footy saying Victoria considering raising crowd sizes from 50% to 75%

 

[xflamedancer]

I'm not the only one thinking that Melbourne is not that good am I? I know Freo are horrendous but to me Melbourne aren't as good as the scoreboard indicates

 

[Flash of power]

Before the bounce, go direct to the radio station. After the bounce, you go to the AFL. Today’s next game starts at 12:45 through the AFL. Before then, go to the radio station.

Thanks it was just cofusing as Fiveaa wasn't online and AFL site wasn't up yet, now its started there is a link on AFL site.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Why on earth would the SNAFL even care?

Because they want to make it as hard for us as they can.

Fremantle are helping them. Ball use, particularly in the forward half, is really poor.

thanks it was just confusing as Fiveaa had finished broadcasting and this option wasn't yet available on AFL.com but all good now

 

[JimmyBC]

Meek is an unfortunate last name in this caper

 

[gbear]

Lol indeed. Brisbane were so dangerous out of Queensland last year

What, they actually left Queensland at some point?

 

[Coobk001]

Fremantle have been insanely dominant around the contested ball all day, yet have just been so bad skill wise and so embarrassingly lacklustre with their intensity, that they haven't converted that dominance into anything.

This game is all about how scrappy Freo are, and has said nothing positive about Melbourne. Melbourne have in fact been very ordinary.

 

[gbear]

I sometimes wonder if I should've just dated a Port supporter or a neutral

Just don’t marry her, unless she commits to converting

when they had the chance.

 

[Steve Dore]

What, they actually left Queensland at some point?

Lost to Hawthorn at the MCG in round 1 and Geelong at the SCG in round 6.

They also played GWS at the Sydney Showgrounds in round 7 but won that one.

 

[JimmyBC]

What a dreadful game

 

[xflamedancer]

I suspect that this game is only going to be exceeded in shitness by the the game following it
