* the lloyd the velvet .... sucker....

Motlop was robbed

 

[sobrave]

Lloyd's not wrong, he just hates what his club has become and you could hardly blame him.

* that club. by far the worst in the afl.

the drug cheating on its own its terrible. but the worst thing about it was the delusional cult like hero worship of james hird. * them. they are a joke club. when was their last finals win again? 15 years ago? they deserve the absolute worst and i would love to see them fold.

Whether Essendon is the worst club in the AFL depends entirely on whether you define the Adelaide Football Corporation as a club or not. If we're talking actual clubs, then yes you are correct.

Matthew Lloyd wishes Damien Hardwick was still around to rough up Orazio.

Did they have any plans for Hardwick in this era?

Matthew Lloyd wishes that a player that left Essendon to go to Port was still around to rough up another player that left Essendon to go to Port?

Maybe Gavin Wanganeen could help him out.

As 70sDinosaur pointed out above, if Dimma was "still around" he'd be Orazio's teammate at Port.

What version of Essendon is going to turn up?

Against Hawthorn they fell apart inside and outside of the contest in the third quarter resulting in Hawthorn generating scoring opportunities from very good positions (which they converted 8.0 and no really fluke goals). Hawthorn are not renowned for being a strong contested and clearance side, unlike Port who were in the top 2 teams for contested possessions in 2020 and really focus on it. If Port bring the contest early, unlike the North game, we could get in the minds of the Bombers players and set up a very uncomfortable final 3 quarters.

Depending on your personal parameters (ie, they last won a final in Week 1 2004) this mob are roughly halfway through a ‘Richmond: The Lost Years’ era, yet don’t seem to attract anywhere near the reputational ignominy that celebrated flustercuck did.

Port by heaps, hopefully.

Halfway?

Optimistic.

By the looks of us I'd say we've got another 30 years of this s**t in front of us.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Rain likely over by early pm. Wet ground again like last week. Let’s hope we learned something.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

getting in early with this

 

[Power Girl]

Can't go due to my girlfriend's birthday, but have said that I'm considering precisely zero requests to do anything that will make me miss the Round 4 match against Richmond.

If she isn't celebrating her birthday at the Port game, you might want to rethink your choices. Just saying.

 

[Power Girl]

Like when young Wangas knew Phillips, Hynes, Hodges, Carter, Mahney and Northeast had him covered

That is one of my favourite Port stories of all time.

We could make it rain on Mars.

We could make it rain on Mars.

Data backs it up. Hawthorn skewed due to Tassie games:

 

[Marmozet]

Georgiades in for Marshall then?

 

[Doctor Feel]

It's that sneaky injury he copped late I reckon.

We make it rain in Adelaide more than the Camry Crows do.

Port Adelaide, the team for all South Australian farmers.

I'm hoping it plays out like that Friday night game against Carlton a few years ago, when they finished close to our quarter time score, and we won by triple figures.

 

[Port85]

45% of home games in 2009-2019 having some kind of rain is absolutely ridiculous!

We exist to win premierships and make our community damp.

For some reason I find that hilarious.

This is a great stat. Crazy we nearly play in some form of rain at home every second game.

OK now I'm worried. I just went to the kitchen at work to make a coffee - my hand clipped the bench, and my Port cup fell from my grasp and shattered in a million pieces. Hopefully that's not an omen for the weekend........

 

[gbear]

Happy Melt day everyone

 

[finbarr]

I heard someone say "yeah get stuck into him! Orazio doesn't like the tough stuff."

Where did this "doesnt like the tough stuff" come from? Nowhere im guessing.

From the same place as "Travis Boak is slow" I'm guessing.
