Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[ABAB]

West Coast tanked hard. Hope AFL strip them of draft picks this year. Disgusting stuff.

So, does this mean we also have "tanked" after half time. What will happen to our pick 5?

Port fans are a classless lot who honestly, would never have stood and applauded a great from our club off the field. They were even gutter trash pricks after the Phil Walsh memorial showdown. I don't know why we are even surprised. Yet our club keeps playing nice guy.

Tonight - I was actually surprised at how few boos Tex got.................Initially, then when they got on a roll, the crowd skied downhill and then went ballistic at him late. Was actually quite pathetic.

I mean, I expected them to be tossers and do it from the beginning. But to be cowards at first, only finding full voice once the game was over? Entitled bunch over there who are afraid of receiving their own medicine.

The problem was only 60% of the crowd were Port fans. The rest were sold tickets to Crows. All the fairwhether assclowns were to gutless to even bother showing up.

Thoughts on how you can go from a prelim to missing the finals? That's a great effort.

My wife was at the game tonight (she's a Port supporter) and she was telling me that she thought some of the crowd was embarrassing when it came to Walker.

Apparently people around her were yelling out that he was a racist and calling him a piece of shit etc.

One thing my wife said, which made me laugh, was that the she could tell from looking at the idiots who were yelling that crap out that they more than likely would have been the same people who were laugh reacting on Facebook when stories were posted about Betts being racially abused back when he used to play for us.

Yep we tanked too, same as Essendon. Last round is a total tankfest. Reckon there’ll be 9 clubs that have done it by the end of the round. Blight on the game, AFL needs to do something about it. You just can’t have 9 teams tanking every week in the last few rounds of the season.

How awesome is this? Imagine any of our entitled seniors doing this if rules allowed? Not a single 1.

Happens in every code pretty much.

Delete this post, I want to see how far ABAB will take it. I might even get a basic football knowledge comment from him. Although, he’s like an amoeba, stimulus - response, he won’t be able to help himself anyway.

It wasn’t ABAB that brought it up originally. It was adelsidecrows.

The AFL should strip all the bottom 6 team of their draft picks lol.

Well done Ken!

Well done Ken!

At least Buckley coached his team to lead ~5mins before FT in a GF.

That Eagles passage of play in 2018 for the goal by Sheed, was perfection. It needed so many things to go right.

It was the greatest goal in modern day AFL footy, given that the pressure and expectation that a Premiership was literally riding on it.

Yes, Buckley and Daniher got their teams to Grand Finals. Scott, like Ken, made prelims. Mind you the two prelims Scott got Norf into were both outside of Victoria and on both occasions Norf came through two knock out finals to get there. Unlike Port Powers last two efforts.

I am just very happy for Ken that he has more time to keep doing the wonderful job he has done there. And wow, 50k there last night. What a show of support by the Port Power faithful

Even with Scott IIRC he did the unimaginable at the time, he led the Eagles at HT in one of those prelims. They were massive underdogs.

Ken is clearly the worst.

Anyone got Club Teals record against top 4 and 8 teams over the last few years handy?

I have an annoying family member coming over and I would like some ammo

Well currently they have only beaten one Top 8 side in 2022.

Currently we have beaten 2.

Yes we were extremely shaky in the first half of the 2015 PF. Norf played well, we ended up kicking really poorly but got through. Unfortunately didn’t end well the following week

I wouldn’t say Ken is the worst! He has had a lot of bad luck. He is just trying his best. And I am sure he would have been so appreciative of the support from the faithful last night. From both sides

Year 11 next year! Go Ken.

I was concerned that the Hawks would try to steal our Pick 5 (6) but they seem to be up for the fight.
