Preview R23, 2022 – Showdown LII (Robbie Gray Farewell)

[Loony Juice]

DBJ talking tough......* me

Sums it up

DBJ = pus kampaigner

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Not too many of us fired up about this orchestrated "campaign", more bemused that someone at your club gave instructions to your players on what to say to the press.

This last one by Houston is perhaps the funniest "It's a mini-final. We're not playing finals, so this is our season on the line".

Power star further fans flames ahead of fiery Showdown

Maybe someone can have a chat with Dan and let him know where you guys are on the ladder, "the season on the line" was probably a few weeks ago.

Any way, all the best to Robbie on a great career - when he was hot no one could stop him, he certainly tore us a new one plenty of times.

See you at the footy!

You mean how your club and coach the past couple of days have deliberately referred to us as "Port Power". Nothing scripted there, no instructions given.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

******* hell that link is bad....


"There's so many reasons we want to win this last game," Houston told AFL.com.au.

"It's not just because we're going into the off-season and it's something that will go with us, it's not just for Kenny or Robbie.

"As a whole club we are set on winning this game and that's all we've got our eyes on at the moment, winning this game for the club, for Robbie, for Kenny, and for our fans."


Why... in the everloving .... would we be trying to win this game for "Kenny"? What does that even mean. s sake. So ***** embarrassing.

Please, please, please be a sign that the players know it's Ken's last game.

* - who’d want to go watch this bunch of clowns.

 

[Loony Juice]

Designed merely to deflect the unrest they know exists amongst the fans. It's working.

It is PR aimed at the ‘diehard’ Port fans who have called up to cancel memberships.

Ok we aren’t wearing the PB’s ever again, or getting rid of the dickhead in the box, but we can pretend to hate the Crows! isnt that something we can all get behind?

This game is to farewell the GRAYtest, but we can't lose sight of the bigger picture.

Keep the pressure on the club, spread the word to all and sundry = do not renew memberships

 

[Ford Fairlane]

This is how you make it personal

 

[snozulu]

Can't trust this team to win it for Robbie after what they dished out in honour of Ebert's memory.

 

[Jojay]

We're now winning this game for Kenny?

Are you standing on the hill again with your sack hinkley top? If so i'll come and say hello if i spot you.

 

[RossFC]

This is more scripted than WWE. Our mouths are writing cheque's that our asses can't cash.

 

[backtozero]

Old Port teams could be arrogant because they were winners.

This mob aren't even 12 months removed from absolutely embarrassing themselves against the Crows.

Just shut the * up and beat a team that you should account for easily, if you weren't a bunch of pea-hearted softcocks.

 

[Loony Juice]

Mate I'm not sure if I'm going. Got a few 'turmoils' going on at the moment. Not really in a good head space, so Loony is feeling a bit Loony at the moment and I think I may not react positively to negativity.

So I am 50/50 about going. Don't mean to be rude, would normally like to catch up with fellow Port supporters.

 

[Powertron]

So let’s play this out…

1. We win by 10 plus goals and puff our chest out about beating up on the 14th placed team who we finish 2 wins and a couple of spots above?

2. We lose to this lot in whatever fashion and then what?

Either way it’s embarrassing. The standards that are now considered acceptable at ports are pathetic. How about some internal focus on either the champion that is hanging up his boots or just getting better and actually being worthy of us listening to what you have to say?

Jonas has been our worst ever captain by far. I don’t care what degrees he has, I work with people daily who have that level of education as a minimum and none talk as much s**t as him without being able to back it up.

 

[JimmyBC]

You mean how your club and coach the past couple of days have deliberately referred to us as "Port Power". Nothing scripted there, no instructions given.

Tim Ginever host's a drive show with a theme song that calls us Port Power I'd say it's over.

Ginever has been a fukcing disappointment lately I must say.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Who gives a s**t, honestly.

 

[TeeKray]

They're just trying to put a bit of spice into and promote a game that means absolutely nothing. There haven't been many if any Showdowns where both teams were mathematically out of the season. But I agree with Nicks, surely celebrating Robbie Gray

Did you buy all the donuts?

 

[TazD]

Kochie forbade the sale of Port donuts on the basis of sparing Daddy Donuts feel feels.

 

[afl2004]

Last game for at least 2 years if donuts is still here next year

Port donuts always sell more, even people who don't care about footy grab it because it's way prettier then the crows 1

 

[Loony Juice]

Can honestly say it was like that when I took the photo, no stage management done or required

I did however treat myself to a packet of Golden North Salted Caramel Giant Twins

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Was going for Robbie and Robbie only.

Now I hear this is some kind of Ken Tribute Match?

Are you saying we should sign him for another 10 years?

 

[afl2004]

He's hinkleys donuts
