Talking about the last 5 years. What have they done other than win games during the season and fail in finals.

Give me those four flags for Port and I'd take the last three wooden spoons to go with them.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Hate him because he's so good?

No because he’s a complete flog..

 

[Interstater]

My most hated teams:

Collingwood

--enough room for artemis--

Crows - the adelaide media's arse licking of them
North - boooooooo, morons
Sydney - we have a long way to go to match them (koch)
Hawthorn - hodge/wingard/goalpost - never forget
Essendon - just slimey/dodoro

Don't care about the rest. Mostly harmless.
(GC, Freo, Melb, WC, Saints, Carlton, GWS, Richmond)

Begrudging respect for Brisbane.

Developing a soft spot for Doggies and Geelong, seeing I live surrounded by their supporters who are nice enough.

 

[JHF1870]

No because he’s a complete flog..

If he played for us you guys would be defending him harder than any other player.

He's a brilliant player, passionate and plays the way I was under the impression the people here desired in our players. But hey I guess people just want to hate.

Geez wouldn't it be great to have a player that plays like that.

 

[Brian McGee]

He seems to have cut down on the ducking and staging for free kicks that happened every time he got the ball in his first year. His style of play is much better to watch now, even if his arrogance isn’t.

My second team is Freo

I like Collingwood which is going to be unpopular. I'd get a membership if I lived in Melbourne. I also don't mind Melbourne atm with Kosi playing.

I find it hard Not to admire Sydney. North are just garbage so it's hard not to feel sorry for them. Hawks are always good to watch as a neutral.

Essendon and Carlton I hate for ethical based reasons.

Geelong just can't stand.

Then there's teams like Saints who I have no feelings either way for. Bulldogs are in the same category.

we have his name is JHF

But doesn’t duck and dive and doesn’t over celebrate like a flog

 

[PowerLil]

First enjoyble game this seson

Pure atmosphere

And no stupid music after goals!

He kind of does drop the knee and raise the arm. Let's not be biased here. We've got a few players that are known to do it, and have had so over the years.

I also remember the 360 on Motlop when he came to Port. People instantly went from hating him for overcelebrating to loving it.

I'm all for players bringing energy and excitement to the game with the exception of Harley Reids antics.

 

[JHF1870]

I'm against after the goal music but it's all about appealing to the younger generations. If you don't adapt you run the risk of losing fans.

Let the younger generation pout their lips whilst posing for selfies and leave the footy to us oldies.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

I’m sure they grew up being taken to the footy in the early 00’s and watching it on TV without music. They’d be fined

I don't really "hate" any other teams.

edit: I always liked Sydney. Probably my second team, if such a thing existed.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Since we hired Ken Hinkley, Geelong have made 2 Grand Finals, winning one and being an embarrassment in the other.

And that's with the baked in advantages of being a Victorian team, while also getting a home ground that they get to train on continuously. Something even the interstate sides don't get.

 

[edgie]

Actually, even if we beat St. Kilda these 2 teams will still be our next opponents.

Wow. Can't believe they AFL would do that. They've really cooked the fixture this year.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol if music after goals is what brings in the 'younger generation', how basic are they

Strategy going gangbusters with these crowds.

 

[edgie]

We won't lose to St Kilda lol

I know this is rhetorical, but...

Yep those young fans are going to get shitty if they don’t get a dose of Country Roads.

Lol, you ever wondered by the traditional churches are literally dead?

NTUA is to blame.

They’ve made 3 Grand Finals in that time. 2020, 2022 and 2025.

In 2020 they led by as much as 4 goals before a dynasty team overpowered and overran them.

 

[Jojay]

Anyone else feeling a tinge of imposter syndrome?

 

[JHF1870]

AT least we didn't draft Tsatas with pick #5

Ideally we needed to pull the trigger last season.
