Yeah basically the ladder but if your talking realistically I’d back a lot of the Vic clubs below Brisbane to beat them in Melbourne.
They are 4th only because they are hard to beat at home, in reality a Crows upgrade.

 

[Portology]

How do I have absolutely no memory of this game. Lol Poulton with the most possessions for Port.

Also debut game for future megastars Damon White and Brad Symes. No wonder it slipped your mind I was out boozing at the Clare gourmet festival that day and distinctly remember the shock of walking into the Sevenhill pub and seeing some part of the debacle on TV. Almost sobered me up for a moment but I quickly fixed that.

Getting an A+ for beating up the school wimp in your own backyard (while he had both arms tied behind his back). And I'm not talking about Hawthorn.

I mean.. you can only beat what's in front of you. And you can't do it much better than by 20 goals. What would you give them?

Would give them a C for being campaigners.

But I take your point.

 

[Del165198]

Can’t believe how far ahead people are getting. We’re doing alright -but we’ve been here before and yes, we are still coached by Ken

Ducking LONG way to go and a Hinkley coached side is never a side to be confident on.

This feels different to 2020 and 2021. Those we were shit to watch and relied on massively dominating the forward half and kicking goals through sheer weight of numbers.

We look dangerous now.

The GIANTS/DWARVES rebrand doesn't quite have the same potential as the SUNS/MOONS does.

We are half way across a glass bridge.

Speculation is easy, prediction also, analysis more difficult, putting your hard earned on the result is easy for some and hard for others.

We have so far received no premierships this year.

Brisbane are unlikely to beat Collingwood or Melbourne in the grand final.
Neither are we.
We NEED a Brisbane Port Grand Final....

.... otherwise its Kings Birthday 2 - Electric Boogaloo.
At least the ice baths will be fun on Grand Final day - maybe incorporate them into the sprint?

I genuinely hope Neal makes it to the grand final and hands Gawn the cup with a big cheesey grin on his face.
Then Gawn turns around as we run out in the prison bars (having changed after the game) and hands it to Hayes, who then screams out, Ken, you were wrong.

I have NFI what will happen for the next 11 weeks, but anything could.

A+ for the Crows at home against WC grade is a bit much

You're a lot of fun at parties is my guess.

A+ seems fair to me
What was the expectation

A+ seems fair to me

Its just for round 13 I think. So we would need a statement type win to be A+. Like 50-60 points.

As biased as the Victorian commentators are today they pale in comparison to the days of Jack Dyer and his garden gnome mate Lou Richards, when any player born west of Bordertown regardless of state reputation, including those who had regularly performed well against the Big V had to be taught how to play the game if they transferred to a Vic club.

Lou upon learning 1993 Essendon premiership player David Grenvold was from Bordertown.

 

[Festerz]

A+ seems fair to me
What was the expectation

I was thinking of report cards in SACE terms where ATAR scores are scaled down or up due to the difficulty of the subject.

Crows playing West Coast at home with the West Coast clearly tanking and hit by a massive and growing injury list.

A+ scaled down to B. With extra points taken off for having a racist kick a ton. So a C as previously stated. And they are lucky they aren't expelled for being a pretend footy club.

But no one is taking this seriously because it's for a laugh and counts for nought.

I äm sure my memory is not playing tricks on me but I am certain I recall a VFL football show with Lou Richards being very surprised how well a South Australian could play. Russell Ebert was player of the round when playing for North Melbourne. "So you guys can play? Russ was as humble as ever in his response.

 

[tribey]

How do I have absolutely no memory of this game. Lol Poulton with the most possessions for Port.

8 key outs that day (Primus, Francou, Wanganeen, Pickett, Montgomery, Hardwick, Carr, Kingsley) + 2 debutants (Symes, White), coming off a Showdown loss.

The blip to end all blips.

 

[Capital Power]

I'd give them a fail for throwing away four points so they could parade Ted at home against schoolboys.

Richards deliberate mispronunciation of "E Bert" was fecking annoying also. Ted Whitten I could respect for his passion and humour but Richards had no redeeming features. An annoying turd dragged in on the sole of someone's boot.

It’s no different now

I just assumed they had to have Richards to balance out our KG Cunningham

Too bad the legendary finbarr missed his shot back yon
