2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[TubbsFarquhar]

What was the crowd?

40,096.

 

[Tyls83]

Anyone got the Sando vs Ken stats handy?

Sanderson 38 Wins 28 losses
Hinkley 44 wins 32 losses

 

[Elite Crow]

The "never ever give up" stuff is cringe worthy. "We lost, but we never gave up, so it's OK" attitude. What was that quote Walshy had about honorable losses?

Well actually they gave up a 9 point lead at 3/4 time

 

[AFC3000]

Anyone got the Sando vs Ken stats handy?

Sanderson had a 57.58 home and away record, Ken has a 57.89 record. Ken has had 3 years around the 55 mark and one at 63%, they've never dominated a year.

Surely they start to ask questions? or do they just keep making excuses?

 

[SpeciousArgument]

What was the crowd?

reported earlier in thread as 40096

And that includes kochie going through the turnstiles 97 times

 

[Elite Crow]

No Murphy, Wood, Johannison and Dahlhaus during the game the only reason Port got a sniff.

And Adams and Crameri

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Am I right hearing that Beveridge sent Bont to complain about the Umps at half time?

 

[Barneythecrab]

No bloody way there was 40,000 there. Went to the game and there was a huge number of seats empty.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Am I right hearing that Beveridge sent Bont to complain about the Umps at half time?

3/4 time apparently.

Also the bulldog supporter trolling in the game day thread is classic

 

[Magma]

too many frontrunners, not enough players who regularly stand up, continually putting games into the likes of paul stewart and cam o shea. having a bloke named dougall on your list.

there's the main probems.

 

[Bay62]

LOLPORT

Ok, I would've liked for the Bulldogs to drop a game, but hearing the thrilling finish unfold on 5AA and hearing the whingeing now is priceless.

Port have gone from world-beaters to a side who probably can't make the eight, and utterly irrelevant. Yum.

And next year their ageing players are another year older

 

[Elite Crow]

Am I right hearing that Beveridge sent Bont to complain about the Umps at half time?

Oh that is a classic.

Can someone let Darcy know

 

[Crowked]

Just over 40k I think

It was a big one then. For them.

hhahahahahaha

 

[Sam_Malone]

Sanderson 38 Wins 28 losses
Hinkley 44 wins 32 losses

Sando - 57.5%

Ken - 57.8%

Not much difference.

Ken, you are the weakest link. Here, have a 6 year contract.

 

[SpeciousArgument]

hinkley press coference coming up on AA

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Oh that is a classic.

Can someone let Darcy know

It was Boyd actually. Point still stands.

 

[BACCS]

I have just done the same.
1st caller - umpires letting libba throw the ball...

He has quick hands, didn't see him throw it once today where it wasn't called.

 

[PrideOf]

I'm still awaiting Rooch's explanation...

It should be a simple choice for Rooch. It's either:

a) their massive membership numbers are non-existent or
b) their members don't go to Port games if they might lose.

Pick one Michaelangelo.

 

[Glenno23]

Sanderson had a 57.58 home and away record, Ken has a 57.89 record. Ken has had 3 years around the 55 mark and one at 63%, they've never dominated a year.

Surely they start to ask questions? or do they just keep making excuses?

Close losses and finishing 9th is actually ideal:

1. They think they're on the right track and keep Kern around
2. They get the highest possible draft pick without making finals
3. "We only need Ryder and Monfries back to challenge"

Repeat each year

 

[Sam_Malone]

Well actually they gave up a 9 point lead at 3/4 time

After having massive momentum after Doggie Howser kicked a goal after the 3/4 siren.

 

[Pdub]

 

[MRB37]

I've already seen Port fans claim they'll have anywhere from 120,000 to 500,000 members this time next year with their Chinese "fans" buying memberships.

 

[GreyCrow]

Yeah don't forget the SANFL workforce bumps it up

 

[GreyCrow]

How many will make it to a game?

 

[SpeciousArgument]

If I were a port supporter id have a pretty sick feeling. They leveraged their future for a few years of premiership window, trading their early picks for 'stars', paying the max or over 100% of the cap, and now look at them. they have a fairly average predictable coach, their stars well, arent. Is ryder actually going to make all the difference? i doubt it.

They are in for some lean years.
