Rucci has compromised himself

[relapse]

All this talk about Adelaide being found out and that they have an weakness that if you exploit it you can beat them.

Where does this leave his "chokers" moniker he so desperately wants to put on us.

If we can be exploited and beaten through tactics then it can't be classed as choking. There is a difference between losing because of the pressure of a final v being beaten by tactics.

Rucci has owned himself on this one

Port were beaten by intense man on man tactics, not just in the finals but in a lot of games. Therefore we didnt choke, going by your reasoning? We all know thats not true and we all know that if you muck up this year what it will be called

I never mentioned Port Adelaide at all.

I merely stated that if Adelaide can be tactically beaten as Rucci claims then its not choking. It has to be one or the other. We either lose via stage fright (choking) or tactically. Rucci cant have his cake and eat it too.

Thats what they call a complex, my man. I did not see any mention of Port in the above thread.

The way this competition is structured, if Adelaide fails to at least make the grand final after the season they have had, they would have choked, no doubt. Any attempt to manufacture an excuse pre- or post facto is simply being in denial of a basic fact.

I feel so much better, that you are informing us on how it feels to have choked.

There is some truth in that statement, but it seems that you Port supporters seem a little too desperate to throw off the choker mantle.

I won't accept the claim that we choked last year, because we were clearly a club in transition who far exceeded any expectations any of us had. But if we don't at least make the GF this year or win the flag next year, chant "chokers" all until you want for all I care. Same could easily be applied to the Eagles if they don't win it. The phrase is thrown around a lot, but it certainly applied to your mob until 2004.

Why is it that as soon as anything to with the term chokers comes up the Port supporters come flocking around even when there is no mention of Port Adelaide what so ever.

I am not manufactoring an excuse at all, it is in relation to Rucci and his theories. What I said before was that you either lose a final due to not handling the pressure of the final (which is choking) or you are beaten tactically. I havent claimed either or trying to invent excuses, it is Rucci that has made these claims that Adelaide can be beaten tactically.

It honestly makes no logical sense that a team can choke if they are beaten tactically. Therefore it is Rucci and his short sightenedness is what is undermining the whole choking thing.

Its a complex they have mate. You don't have to mention it and they get paranoid.

Don't tell me your worried about losing and are already looking to distance yourself from the choke tag, if you do indeed lose.

We won't be in denial, if we lose and choke. Unlike many of your supporters.

It has nothing to do with who is or isnt chokers

no I am not worried about making the grand final, I am just having a bit of a laugh at Rucci because he hasnt worked this out yet.

He is setting up one senario, but hasnt clicked yet that it then means that he cant use the other.

That is the whole point of the thread, ie Rucci compromising himself. Is that Rucci wants to unload the chokers tag onto us, but is actually painting a senario where if we dont make the Grand Final he cant.

What is that the Port people don't understand ???

 

[portentous]

Relapse, the WCE used "choking tactics" therefore Rucci is in a win/win situation.

Very good. I like that one.

hahahaha that is funny

the main thing is that everyone knows Rucci likes to frequent here and our little banter tends to get him wound up (his roast column and his little comments on there confirms that).

A loss is not necessarily a choke. So to talk about a loss that hasn't even happened and already label it a choke says only one thing. Fans of one particular team are a little too desperate to pass on their hard earned reputation and have shown their hand way too early.

You are correct in that Port never got mentioned, but I still think my point stands. People overlook the fact that we were very soundly beaten tactically (both before and during the matches) against both Collingwood and Sydney to have a choker dig at us. This is fine but you have to expect that the same things will be said about the Crows if they dont make it, rightly or wrongly. It seems that whenever you lose against a side thats lower on the ladder it gets classed as a choke, regardless of facts.

In any case, why would Rucci care if he doesnt get his facts right again?
