Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 3

[Lagooner]

There are about 3 posters on here who obviously feel very threatened by women's football. I don't think your d!ck will fall off or the world will end because women play. Exhale and breathe, go to your safe space.

Bravo. Should be used in the ads.

"nobody cares"

 

[edgie]

That seems to happen when the men have a 140+ year head start

So the women do need the men on board?

[edgie]

A lot of people caring about whether other people care or not.

Cripps to Freo? Manager laughs off trade speculation

"... Patrick Cripps isn't going anywhere.

In fact, he's laughing and so is his management after former Port Adelaide player Kane Cornes hit the airwaves with sensational speculation that Cripps could be traded to Fremantle in a swap for Nat Fyfe. ..."

Why do you care about people caring about whether other people care or not?

Well, that's what you would say as regards your client if your backchannel trade feelers went public.

Fyfe aside, Cripps had a ringside seat to the recent Gibbs shitshow and the thought of wasting his prime playing for a glorified minnow would be terrifying.

I would love to follow the AFLW comp. I just don’t have a team to support.

You are a Giants supporter. You just don't know it yet.

I think this is the kicker for me.

I'd be much more inclined to become invested if a Port team was playing.

Who was on Burton in 89?

Pretty sure it was Tregenza. He was being ribbed for it after the game. Maybe even the player presentation the next day in stage. It was 28 years ago, so memory could be wrong

Pretty sure Burton was at half forward for them and Trigger was a wingman so....

It was Northa I think.

Where was mighty Norwood while all this was going on? Fancy not being capable of making a Grand Final between 1985-1992, let alone winning a flag until 1997.

Like Centrals and Sturt, it only took for the league to be completely gutted of talent and relevance before the trophies came rolling in.

Sad!

Good one Ed.

Agree, he would say that, but to say it is laughable is going to leave him with egg on his face if such a deal goes through.

Kornes would take this denial as unequivocal proof that he is correct.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Carlton would do that deal in a heartbeat.

Well this rain may well keep the elderly and their apricot slices away from Thebby today. Not much room in the grandstand

Started raining at my place (upwind of Thebarton) 30 minutes ago and I've had 0.2mm

Yeah, we ended up with about the same. There is more forecast for later, not sure how much though

 

[Lou Zyffer]

It's warm and sunny at Thebby now. It'll be like playing in a greenhouse at 4:30.

 

[StrappingTape]

Its free and got pumped to the max it was always going to be a busy first game. The Sam Lanes of the world were always gonna go nuts and over play it all.

Sunny here now and the temp has gone back up.

I wonder what the revenue-sharing agreements looked like for last night.

Nice little shot in the arm for Carlton that a stack of other clubs don't get access to.

Hell, we can't even get an official men's trial game at Alberton.

 

[StrappingTape]

Well as I said to my wife there was also an artificial crowd pump by moving it to Princes Park as you will get all the Carlton tragics who will go because it is being played there like when we had St Kilda at Alberton. If people wont pay for SANFL which is light years above what was on last night I find it hard to see momentum continue when they have to support themselves.

 

[Doctor Feel]

ITT: People who like the concept pumping it up.

ITT: People who don't like the concept playing it down.

ITT: People who "don't care" also playing it down.
