2015 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Pt. 1

[Don Muraco]

If anyone listened to AA after the Power's game could you give me a brief summary?

Full Lindy or
Half Lindy ?

 

[GROTTO]

Half Lindy, umpire blaming mostly.
They had to go to the other game, so was a short session.

What bs I watched patches of that game, the umpiring was fair. Maybe if they didnt try to claim dodgy marks or throw the ball inside 50 inside the last minute they may have won that game.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Playing VB as a tagger better not be the best that Phil can come up with tactically

Absolutely. Walsh has changed structures during the game after we have our usual slow starts.

 

[VSTone]

I wish we could see some evidence that Phil is such a great tactician.

dropping van berlo would be the best move he could make this week

 

[GROTTO]

dropping van berlo would be the best move he could make this week

While it shouldnt matter to much with the Lions game, it is going to be crucial when play the Tigers/Eagles/Cats. VB is about a 3 goal liability at the moment.

 

[Don Muraco]

Just saw a bit of Kern's presser , he's saying "they are not" instead of "we". Get out the pollyfilla.

 

[GROTTO]

Did Hinkley actually go on radio and say "put your seat belts on" before the game?

He must have been referring to the car crash that was about to take place.

Anyone hear this? I just read it on AFL.com

You'd think they would learn not to talk it up. It just compounds the embarrassment of failure.

During the pre-match radio rounds, Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley promised his side was soon to return to its ballistic, hard-running and brave best against the Blues. "Put your seat belts on," he told 3AW.


But the Power only reached top gear when all looked lost after Menzel's snap. Before that, they had enjoyed surges of strong play - but if Port at its best is a Formula One car, then it had spent significant parts of this race stuck in pit lane.

 

[GROTTO]

Were Carlton bottom before the game today?

The day keeps giving thanks to Port Power.

 

[fairfooty]

Told you - I tip PAPS, they lose.

 

[VSTone]

actually liked what they did with Gray, he passed the concussion test but made the call he was knocked out so didn't bring him back, bold move, probably cost them the game, but a good call.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Does anyone know if the Port Power board were celebrating or saying Sam Mitchell did nothing wrong with his thug hit on Tex?

Or, it was in the spirit of the game?

They think tex lined him up for a cheap shot and Mitchell was defending himself

 

[GROTTO]

If you have trouble sleeping tonight and want to watch something that will relax and give you sweet dreams, there is the replay of Carlton v Port on Foxtel now.

 

[fairfooty]

Gee you're on a roll tonight Grotto!!! All I have to do is keep tipping them and their seasons over!!

 

[hey shorty]

Hinkley is pathetic. All he says is "We will just keep working harder". No mention of a plan B or something different. Sounds like something a former coach of ours would say.

He is a nothing coach with a simple gameplan and an overrated fitness bloke.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Just saw a bit of Kern's presser , he's saying "they are not" instead of "we". Get out the pollyfilla.

Yes, I did notice that too. Sounded like he was disowning the players. Apparently went off at Carlisle, Jonas & Schultz during the game.

If you think the umpire was fair, that says more about you than any port supporter. terrible umpiring, AFL would be embarrassed by the performance and you'll most likely hear them apologize for a few of their **** ups.

yep, doesnt seem to want to take an ounce of responsibility.

how about coming up with a plan that involves something other than running straight off half back with ordinary footballers like pittard? team have worked out that if you shut down the run, you beat port. hawks should've beaten them if not for the horrible start, and if we could kick straight...

and to think they've still had a pretty good run with injuries too. not going to win many premierships with blokes like kane mitchell running around.

 

[hey shorty]

I will say if we can't beat Brisbane next week we rightly better batten down the hatches for a bollocking. They are dreadful.

I think you're lost, The "I give a shit about port pear ,we wuz robbed , boo hoo hoo "thread is run by ford fairlady on the "port Pear EST 2400bc" forum.

You're so clever, yet you do care about port because you and other think it was a fair result, it wasn't fair, port were screwed, the umpire who marked it is already has an article praising him for his assist for Carlton. Anyway, this is last comment from me, if you think it was fair then good for you and all i can do is hope the AFL and it's umpires put in such an inept performance for your team. go umpires!

Did you check the free kick count in the WCE vs Tigers last night??

Didn't stop the WCE, if your blaming the umpires for your loss and not your team and coaching panel for their abysmal performance today you need a reality check just like your coach!..

 

[Elite Crow]

Agreed, the umpires should say sorry for Hartlett having no vision and kicking straight at the umpire.

Menzel took a mark in the second that wasn't paid.

Umps made some errors but your Chad players made more. So did your coach in selecting duds like Mitchell.

Today confirmed one thing, your depth is shit.

 

[Elite Crow]

When they lose to Sydney, how hollow will Never Tear Us Apart be when they play Collingwood?

 

[adelaidecrows]

It is rumoured KT has organised access to Adelaide Oval Monday morning to measure the top tiers of each stand for Tarps and the hill will now be free entry with BYO
