Please send in complaints about Ricciuto doing Port commentary - highlight his conflict of interest as an AFC Board Member and ask he never does Port games, and if he does, advise Fox you will turn the coverage off.

I would also suggest complaining about Brereton's bias and obvious dislike of Port coming through in his commentary.

I don’t think Roo is/was that bad. Derm was insufferable yesterday though

 

[glitch01]

I think Riccuito tends to grate because of his voice.
Obviously there is a conflict of interest with his Crows links but to his credit he does have a reasonable knowledge of our players (as opposed to the Vic based commentators who all love the Cripper but can't tell the difference between Rozee and Butters...)

I prefer Ricciuto over Derwayne.

 

[Powerade 08]

Riccuito is shit but 'our' commentators i.e. Dwayne Russell, Kornes, are worse. So theres no real solution to this problem.

Spent the first quarter guarding grass before deciding to play man on man again.

Why do we always do this?

Called this at 5pm yesterday afternoon
They were just picking their way around our defence with 1,000 chip kicks and we just stood there and watched
Mind boggling that no change was made

 

[Alberton Proud]

Port Adelaide recorded 54-25 clearances today - their best differential over the last 10 years. They scored 9.7 to 1.2 from stoppages, including 5.3 to 0.0 from throw-ins. Zak Butters recorded a game-high 38 disposals, three goal assists, nine score involvements, and seven clearances.

We won by 15 goals then

Surely ?

Putrid first half, looked as though more than half the players were thinking of their Bali trips. It's kind of expected that the players would've check out after seeing their coach literally goof around in the coaches box last week. Second half obviously showed a lot more effort and care. I wasn't totally surprised, they pushed Collingwood for 3 quarters a couple weeks ago, there was absolutely no reason based on that they couldn't be competitive against us if their heads were in it early.

Infuriating. Why we'd allow that short sideways chip deep in their d50 was baffling. They'd pick us apart regularly from that kick.

I Wonder Why We Played Badly And Are Tactically Inept

That Boak goal was kind of funny. He was lucky it got called back after spraying the snap, and I was saying as I'm sure most were in his run up for the set shot he's missed these sorts of kicks his whole career. It wasn't really a clutch moment though, because our season wasn't on the line and beating west coast last night meant absolutely nothing for his future or our season.

Boak didn't say the win was for Ken, surely? I reckon and hope it is a Crowtiser troll - it is a pissant publication.

 

[Del80659]

the "for ken" is quite literally just to troll bigfooty. if we didn't overreact i'm sure they would've dropped that angle

Dunno Waspy. Not a subscriber so haven't read the full article.

It stopped hinks getting sacked.

It was always going through the centre from the most unclutch

Have checked the rag. There is no evidence Boaky said that in the article. It's just a conflated headline and picture.

And the only comment I saw from Boaky on social media after the game was a reference to his mate SPP on the sidelines with another ACL.

Whistle blew as he kicked it - had to be called back.

 

[Ant Bear]

So...JHF played the entire second half (and won the game for us in the last quarter) with a broken foot!

Equal parts infuriating (at him still being out there after half time) and exhilarating (at what he produced and how he cooked Reid on one foot).

Dermot was way worse than Riccuito

Even more amazing that he kicked the goal if his boots were a tribute to SPP. Who also regularly misses shots like that one.

 

[Waspy79]

Agree. I just find the whole Ricciuto thing to be yet another slap in the clubs face. No one at VFL HQ respects PAFC in the slightest.

 

[PAFC66]

Hope you beat Hawthorn next week.

You seem to be their bogey side

Not without Rozee and JHF. Out for year. We've checked out

 

[PAFC66]

Yes I’m sure he desperately wishes he still played for a team with nine victories in their past 70 games or some shit.

That's gold. Adelaide crows fan like. *******
