I don't think he's undone anything, everyone knows he's just finding new ways to play the victim, it's just a pity certain people pander to it instead of calling him out.

Either way, like most Port people out there this'll probably be the first time I'll be truly behind the Crows, it'll take a mammoth effort as a club to get out there and everyone will be supporting them.
I guess undone is the wrong word. Insighting a fight is probably better, and unfortunately some guys take the bait, not that that's a bad reaction

I've only ever before wanted the crows to win if in some way it would benefit us but this is the first time that I genuinely want them to perform well for them and their supporters, Carn the crows.
I was so proud of our performance last night

The tingles supporters will without any question have the right to feel the same and possibly more if they win tomorrow

Acknowledge yes but sorry support no

I'm torn. He spent 5 good years at the Eagles. Can it be a draw?

I'm not torn at all.

I still want them to lose. Not due to any vindictive streak, but because it helps our chances of scraping into the finals.

Get your facts straight.

Never once have I ever said you are not allowed or entited to celebrate Phillip Walsh life. He was part of your club for 10 years. If you didn't, questions would be asked. I've never once criticised how or why your club has made the choice to do what they have done.

My displeasure has never, ever been about your club, it's been about the Adelaide Football Club and how they view the members and supporters as a cash cow. The disappointment is about waiting almost a month between home games. They should have just bitten the bullet and played last week.

So, please don't ever assume you can speak for or on behalf of me without knowing your facts.

You don't respect our club, so stop pretending you do and no, I've never supportered that muppet CrowCrap.
Jesus christ Alex you post like an insolent child.

"The club is treating us like a cash cow because they didn't play 2 days after our coach's murder"

This is the worst single post I've read on these boards in 6 years.

You're an actual embarrassment the way you're carrying on. Pull your head in. Better yet, if you don't understand something, keep your mouth shut.

Nice post Mattymac. I think that at times should all call out our "own" when it is called for. I for one believe that it is time for a mature outlook when posting on bf. Not that means removing friendly rivalry and banter but knowing when one needs to pull ones head in so to speak. However some people will never learn. Obviously.

I enjoyed the Collingwood vs. Power game last night, had very little care about either team winning (or losing) It was a good game of footy, and PAFC did a great job remembering Phil's contribution to the Power.

Each to their own, but I find the idea of winning a game being important to Phil's memory very strange. So if you lose then you somehow care less than if you win? If Adelaide win will it mean that West Coast are thumbing their noses at Walsh's memory? Nope, and the same goes the other way round too. It would be an amazing effort for the Crows to get up - and it might give them a positive to rally around in a pretty dark time - but it wouldn't change how the guys are feeling deep down.

I think you will find that footy will get back to it's passionate back-and-forth rivalry stuff after this round, but I for one will be remembering that we do have common ground when everything is stripped away ... and I think a lot of AFC supporters and PAFC supporters feel the same.

As far as alex_is_on_fire 's idea that the club not pushing the game against Geelong to go ahead is somehow a back-hander to the fans ... is (as mattymac pointed out) very very ordinary. I would say I was amazed but people post some pretty ordinary sh!t on BF :)

Sat next to a few Crow supporters last night one was actually donning Port gear & cheering us on for the win, it was great to see he was as on edge towards the final moments as I was whilst we counted down the tense dying minutes.

As the siren sounded I jumped out of my chair to high five him & the other passionate randoms all around me, I then wished him well in their match against Eagles & i'll see him at the Showdown next week.

Bar a few poor comments I think the unity between over 2 fierce rival clubs over a passing that's heavily affected both camps has been fantastic, I haven't felt this way in the past i've never embraced & shared pain with our AFL enemy as much as I have the last week.

Well done to all involved, it truly was a night i'll never forget.

The feeling i get from some of your posts on your board, is that you are a highly bitter individual. The sarcasm in some of your replys toward what Port did last night stuck out like dogs balls. People on your own board pulled you up for it. You come across as a whiny spoilt brat. The word is youre meant to be a school teacher. My god!! So help some of our kids if there's more teachers around like you.
