Crows and WC get to play finals at their home grounds. The top 2 teams, Sydney and Geelong don't.

Bit weird, but it was always gonna happen.

TSW is my finals every year.

Heard that Hart is no longer the head of coaching - what position will Port come up with?

Do we need a new club Chaplain?

Is it one of those viewers-vote-them-off shows? I can see the Ambassadors being mobilised if that's the case...

No Sunday afternoon football in week 1? thats shite

our EF final in 2014 with the Oval and prison bars bathed in sunshine was glorious

 

[John the Butcher]

What a crock of s**t the Sydney final is at ANZ. An interstate team would've drew more fans.
GWS has played at ANZ 3 times. 2012 all I think.

 

[Marmozet]

Love this! It'll make it all the sweeter if they somehow go down

Hawks don't win close ones because of players, but moreso, they have a reliable attacking structure where players are confident they can blindly kick it forward to certain areas, the skills to accurately blindly kick under pressure and have it land where they want it to, and they'll have players in those areas with good chances to score or at least get to the ball in a 1 on 1.

Fancy that.

And I think it was Mitchell who said that whenever they have longer than a 6 day break they always build in time in their training to practice winning the tight ones. A very well oiled machine.

Nope. You don't know survivor? It's only on season 33.

Constestants vote each other off.

 

[Marmozet]

I wish we had even an ounce of the ability Hawthorn have in close games.

Maybe it's kinda fitting that we lost the 2014 PF by 3 points

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Geelong and Essendon are interested or have 'entered the market' for forward Hayden Ballantyne

Nick Ryan where have they been hiding you our whole life. Beautifully summed up.

One great thing about Nick Ryans occasional article about football is that he never tries to hide the fact he supports port. Most crows ambassadors who are in the SA media all try and make themselves look like a impartial observer.

Nick also wrote a classic after 'jumpergate'

You can see it in how they set up as a pack starts to form too. There's almost always one or two hanging off the defensive side at a 45 degree angle, just waiting to receive or for the ball to spill out.

The amount of almost blind handballs I saw today was unreal. They just know that their mates will be there so they create an extra half second that gives both the player disposing the ball and the receiver the best opportunity to negotiate the congestion.

Nick nailed it. But might be looking for a new job right now. So if anyone can help him out...


Nick Ryan: One banana and hysterical Crows fans want to play blame game against Port Adelaide

IF this week has taught me anything it’s how I’ve never been happier than I am right now to be a Port Adelaide man.

Mainly because it saves me from the alternative.

Nothing exposes the synthetic supporters who consider themselves the sum total of all South Australians more than the opportunity to whinge about the failings of the nasty people from Port Adelaide.

The section about the Adelaide media being basically bought off by the crows is 100% accurate.

I might be banned shortly for some comments in the Nick Ryan thread on the AFC board.

Feel free to check it out.

******* North Melbourne.

Has there ever been a more pointless club?

St Kilda, Footscray, Brisbane, GWS, take your pick.

to think if norf moved norf to the GC in 09 like the AFL wanted, there probably be no GWS.

Seems they really can't argue coherently with it so resort to calling him fat.

such witty banter , but why did i expect any better from the tingles

Point:
the media is filled with crows sycophants / ambassadors that try to skewe every issue to be Crows good Portz powaz bad.

Counter point:
Your fat and your mother dresses you funny.....check mate
