Talk about choking.

Dogs just went up a gear. Was always going to happen. Have a far deeper midfield and greater leg speed.

Kidding themselves if they pay Cripps massive dollars... They have been smacked in the middle and he has hardly touched it

Does anyone get get penalised less than Caleb Daniel for consistently running >15m without a bounce ?

Mind you that's about 30 steps for him.

"You're a new club," the AFL said, at the same time as giving them access to Port Adelaide Magpies father-sons.

Meh. It’s the afl

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

The new rules changes complement the Dogs more than any other team.

Criticism led by that inbred ranga too. Disgusting grub.

He is the commentator I dispose the most.

Well that too, but the man on the mark rule means teams cannot slow them down anymore.

So many players are so slow to react to the rule. Now more than ever there is so much incentive to quickly push back of the mark. Then you can tack either direction you like and the bloke on the mark can't react till the UMP calls play on. Imagine how much boomer would have loved this.

True, we sometimes kick into the man on the mark from not moving back much at all, or are called to immediately play on for moving slightly off the line instead of straight back.

We are so poor at this. You can now totally open up the angles. But we stay in a lateral line behind the mark every time (Aaron Hall excepted).Our game plan is based around aggressive movement through the corridor but we are so slow at moving the ball forwards.

I think a lot of this is young players though, they're taking the opportunity for a breather.

15277 at the Hawks game today.

Proportionally worse turn out than we've had this year.

Awful crowd at the Hawforn match

“The most injury-hit team in the AFL, the Eagles...”

Ship ‘em off to the Map?

So our Adelaide game vs their West Coke game.

13478 / 40000 = 33%

15277 / 70000 = 21%

Ours % is actually higher given we have just scraped over 40k this week.

“Family” club for you

No chance. Can’t believe Power have conned people into getting behind them tbh. They’re a different footy club to Port Adelaide Magpies.

Some history for you:
The Port Adelaide Football Club (PAFC) which was once nicknamed the Magpies moved from the SANFL to the AFL in 1996/1997. They adopted the nickname Power. The SANFL, who couldn't afford not to have a Port Adelaide team in their league, created a new entity called the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club (PAMFC) a new entity, incorporating what was previously just a nickname into the club's legal identity to distinguish it from the already existing PAFC.

In 2010, these two entities merged into the Port Adelaide Football Club, the same entity that was founded in 1870, competed in the SAFL and SANFL for a century, then moved into the AFL. There has never been a club called Port Adelaide Power or Port Power, and there was never a club called Port Adelaide Magpies before 1997. Magpies was just a nickname, the same way Kangaroos is for us (notice we're not called NMKFC.)

In the exact same way that North Melbourne competed for decades in the VFA and then moved into the VFL, they didn't suddenly become a new club upon switching leagues. That history is still theirs, because they are the same club, the same way the flags we won in the VFA are still on display in the club building (at least they were the last time I visited.)

iirc as part of the contract to join the league there was a literal requirement to create the PAMFC. it was an exercise in trying to completely divorce Port from their past.

I bag the club/supporters for the cringiness of "never tear us apart" but it's a direct callback to the forced separation from their past and the subsequent reunification. Good for them.

it was a ridiculous situation. players on Port's AFL list were randomly distributed throughout the SANFL, imagine if one of our guys had been randomly assigned to Essendon in the VFL and had to play against North Melbourne.

In 1971 you actually had to earn them all.
