[VineValerian]

Our forward craft is pathetic

Craft is hardly a word i would use to describe it!

North it is! We'll get to roll out Ponting and Peter Siddle to the indian chinese cricket fans!

Mark Webber. And I want to say, the guy who played Victor Peirce on Underbelly: Soy Latte

Channel 7 news focussing on the empty seats without any mention of the weather not the fact that 10,700 of the 11,000 tickets sold turned up.

SBS ran with the poor crowd story too which surprised me.

But no mention of the 10 Million watching it on TV huh

 

[Ljc_86]

Didn’t go “up the Power” during the song. Gone.

I actually interrupted a conversation so I could hear him do it and yeah backfired on me

 

[Incarnate]

Err, why?

SBS are champions of soccer and would see the AFL trying to expand into other countries as stupid. They are appealing to their audience.

7 Adelaide are just campaigners. They too, are appealing to their audience.

[dirty2]

All of a sudden I'm looking at Rosanna Mangarelli..

[dirty2]

Wines to Gold Coast confirmed.

[PAFC66]

Wow. That post was so positive I had to double check the username.

Plenty of positive posts mate. People just dont take notice unless its critical.

 

[PAFC66]

We were dominant. Goal kicking aside. That was fine. Came out injury free, picked up plenty of percentage. Content, not thrilled but content.

Plenty of percentage?

 

[Schulzenfest]

LOL

Funny, I have no interest in Roaming Brian or the royal wedding, but I'd watch the s**t out of a crossover between the two.

Brilliant.

"So Fergie will you be sitting with Bianca and the other girl?"

"..."

 

[Contested Marx]

ALSO CHEER UP GUYS WE'RE 6&3 SITTING FOURTH* GOING INTO THE BYE

 

[Byrons Firen]

Solid win in the end. Happy.

Yep from a post showdown jet lagged squad playing in the heat and rain.
There were moments that showed more forward nous than we've seen for a while.
Whether people see ^ as a reason or an excuse is up to them.

ALSO CHEER UP GUYS WE'RE 6&3 SITTING FOURTH* GOING INTO THE BYE

After our game and the North game we were 4th, by 9.30 Saturday we were 5th and after Sunday we should be 7th.

 

[PAFC66]

How many were actually there? I heard 10k which is roughly the same as last year.. didnt look close to that on tv

 

[GremioPower]

I will skip this one. Good luck to us all. See you in the morning. Good night.

DÁ-LHES, PERA! ("Get them, Pear!")

Power is "poder", in Portuguese; but the best translation for Port's AFL nickname would be "Força" (force), due it's connection to electricity. A "Força de Porto Adelaide" would be the team's name in Portuguese.

The former soccer club in Porto Alegre linked to the Power Company was called "Força e Luz" (Power and Light). Its stadium still exists. It is known to the fact that Grêmio has built its member's pavilion as payment for a player in the early 60's. It helps that Aírton the "Pavilion" became one of the greatest forwards in Grêmio's History.

Brilliant.

"So Fergie will you be sitting with Bianca and the other girl?"

"..."

"We've got Harry and the proud mother of the groom with us. What's tha- Grandmother of the groom, sorry.

Where is your mother, Harold?"

 

[GremioPower]

Plenty of percentage?

Compared to what we had before...
