Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 5 - Cont. in Part 6

[Janus]

Sydney in 2012 lost to Hawthorn by 7 and Geelong by 34.

The difference being that Sydney had been premiers 7 years beforehand so still had the nucleus of a premiership winning squad who had played in at least one grand final - McVeigh, Malceski, Goodes, Richards, Bolton, O'Keefe - and added Parker, Kennedy, Jack and Hannebery through the midfield.

7 years ago, Adelaide was missing the eight and they only have 4 players left from their R1 side - Walker, Sloane, Douglas and MacKay. Two A graders and 2 B graders.

****, how shit a year must this be if Adelaide is on top of the ladder when you consider that?

The round off is garbage

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I'm not sure if this post is a joke. One of the weakest top 8 sides? Are you forgetting 3 weeks ago we beat you by 84 points.

The Eagles game was a nothing game for us. We rested 3 of our best 22 and hardly got out of first gear in perth. If you had finished 4th we would of beat use by 10 goals again

Liked for the inability to comprehend the difference between top and top 8 and the use of use

In general I agree, but given our early bye we are the side who should get the most benefit out of it.

 

[chiwigi]

Let's just hope we dont meet Geelong on the GF then

This would be my dream GF!

Redemption would be so sweet!

 

[Steve Dore]

So the unbeatable Crows finish the home and away with one more win than Ports.

 

[Power04Surge]

Very glad we are on the opposite side of the draw to the swans. Feel they are the best chance to knock the crows out too! How dreamy, we make the gf and they fail again

Buckley is reportedly set to receive a new two-year contract, following the completion of the club’s internal review.

So possibly the only club searching for a new head coach will be GCS.

This should help with our planning. Exciting times at our one great club.

Brownlow night should be tonight

Their playing group certainly put on a good show on Saturday night to ensure they attract the best possible candidate.

So for all the talk about our so called easy draw, we played top 8 teams 10 times, the Crows, Geelong, West Coast 9 times, Essendon, Sydney and Richmond 8 times. Only GWS has played more fellow top 8 teams than us with 11.

Plus of the 5 top 8 sides we played once, only one was at home, which was a shit loss to Richmond but still.

Our ladder position combined with our record against the top 8 sides have created a perception that we've had an 'easy draw'. The reality is we've just been the only team in the competition this year who has consistently beaten the bottom sides.

Sydney and Geelong are examples of teams that had easy draws.

Was posted before the bulldogs game we had a comparable draw to the premiers despite finishing 10th.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Hinkley can beat up on his coaching bitch Buckley for a little bit longer then.

draw

noun

1. an act of selecting names randomly to decide winners in a lottery, opponents in a sporting contest, etc.

There is no "draw" involved in the determination of the AFL fixture.
