The crowds have lost their soul. It's ****** at games now. Such a weird atmosphere. We're all ****** up and can't trust the club at all.

And it feeds directly to the players in a horrible loop.

I hate supporting other teams, but go the Dees this afternoon.

A month ago we were talking about a top two finish. Now we're worrying about other teams' results. How can it all have gone so wrong?

A team of average players and below average coaches.

3 auto renew memberships gone. 3 premium seats in the eastern stand will be empty. Went through enough shit at footy park with Primus & not doing it again with this fukc head coach & gutless players !!

yep, im done too. I canned 6 memberships tonight- good seats, southern stand. I did footy park, sat through some of the most shameful performances but I know we did that with 2 hands tied behind our back. this is all our own doing and I just wont sit buy and throw money into a dump.

embarrassed to be a port supporter is enough, im not paying for it too.

I was desperate from them to lose yesterday because it opens up the top 4 for us. But predictably we go into a game where we must win to hold on to any chance of finishing top 4 and find a way to lose. Freo, GWS and the Showdown all over again, pathetic is a word being said far to often.

This club is ****ing incipit and mentally weak. Cant stand up when we needed to, cant win when needed to. We held on with 1 rotation for so long to lose it after the siren in doing so kissed goodby to any chance of top 4 (not that wed win out next 2 losing Dixon) kissed goodby to any chance of getting a home final like last year. and best position ourselves to missing out, from top 2 chance on contender to more than likely finishing 9th. Heads need to roll, but the coach just got a 4 year extension. This here is the exact reason it shouldn't of happened.

I’ll be coming down for the Essendon game. If we miss the finals after being 11-4, I’m really doubting should I renew too.
I’m really starting to lose patience in the over governance of the AFL and our Hinkley hackball game plan.
Though I have relies in Adelaide it makes me puke in the guts burning coin on two flights a season + interstate membership only to witness a repetitive shit show.
I’d be better off changing my alliance to an NRL club and coming over to Adelaide during the festivals in the warmer months.
Urrrg dam you Port

I wouldn't be surprised if we dropped 20K members, people signed on the back of bringing in Motlop, Watts and Rockliif after being cheated out of a final. To go from 11-4 and a contender and possible top 2 spot to then missing finals (or even a week 1 exit) wont be tolerated.

Maybe the KT/Koch and the board get the message.

We don't deserve to be playing finals.

I kind of hope we don't make them, cause we'll only get embarrassed at an away elimination anyway.

 

[philthy05]

They just showed the Ryan mark on the footy show, clearly see pittard get two hands on it first and no one mentions it

Dont be shocked if a few players want out.

Robbie is out of contract end of next year, I’d be devestater to see him chase a premiership somewhere else.

I want out. I’ve requested a trade to North Melbourne. James Brayshaw has offered me a spot on their board and my 9yo is training up to be a runner.

Port have yet to respond but it’s likely they’ll let me go as a DFA.

 

[edgie]

He's a hillbilly from Broken Hill who lobbed into the "big smoke" and almost instantly found himself on Adelaide's A-List with all and sundry blowing smoke up his arse, which has quite clearly gone to his head. I'll take a stab and say he probably wasn't anywhere near as insufferable a human being when still just a country lad in his home town.

You'd be wrong

 

[finbarr]

Yeah honestly, I have no idea what came over me last night. Maybe I was so pissed off at my own club I was cutting him some slack he clearly doesn’t deserve.

He is what he is, and I dunno, I think that's at least something in a scene where a lot of things aren't what they seem. It's just unfortunate it took the general population so long to wake up to it. The love in he used to get sickened me, just like the Sloan love.

Roos only leading by eight, they would need to win by 40-50 to overtake us and then Sydney would have to win by 30 to knock us out of the eight. Quite possible we'll still be in the eight at the end of the day and we can say "We exist to be in the eight until finals".

Hate the feeling. Don't have that same excitement as I used to going to games. Crowds have dropped significantly over the last couple of years and especially this year.

Had a chuckle at that too. Oh Boy Oh Boy Wowee the year needs to end quick so I can escape Big Footy and return to my normal self and wait all summer to see the first pics of Ken back on Diet Coke lying in a hammock at training watching Neade in the ruck program.

 

[PowerBaz]

I was sitting there late in the first going, we are playing so well but you know we will cough it up.... and we did, predictable and flakey.

Half time and the Roos lead is 28. This is not looking good. They started the round on 110.1%, 3.8% behind us. They now trail by 2.2%. Even if they don't make it up now they have the Saints in round 23 and they should be able to give their percentage a fair boost there.

And with Geelong nearly certain to make it with two easy games at the Cattery it's starting to look as if 13 may not cut it for us.

The club is pretty soulless these days from top to bottom (AFL, SANFL, Academy). Playing like SA Franchise No.2, or the SA Freo.

 

[Grave Danger]

That loss to Freo was the killing. The last two losses were the trial. We were out on bail for the Dogs game. Only the verdict and sentencing to follow...

once c'wood do us next week - it's all over red rover

Richmond vs West Coast Grand Final is an absolute certainty
