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

[Bay62]

Yep. Last two weeks it's been "it's not what Charlie does, it's how he brings the other forwards into it" and this week it's "at least his defender doesn't mark it."

He is the Invisible Man of footy.

And during the week Ken was ecstatic about how his team mates just love to play with him

That's good. Shame he doesn't make a difference to the result though

This time last year we were hearing what a good bloke Butcher was and how his team mates love being around him. Having about the same impact as good old Charlie is atm

 

[Sam_Malone]

They get what they deserve.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

What a destination club! So many great players they have got from other clubs. Great recruiting team at Port!

Sucks that we're stuck with spuds like Jacobs, Betts, Lynch and Jenkins from other clubs

Well be adding Menzel to that list by round 23

Port have to win 7 out of their last 10. Cant see them making finals.

Looking at their draw, they should win 5 at least. The other 5 are Hawthorn, Us and GWS all at home, Sydney and North away. It's possible for them to win 7 of the last 10. I don't think that it will be enough to make the 8 though.

What is David King going to say this week?

FFS Kane " Robbie Gray best player in the comp at the moment "

 

[Bay62]

If we had Ryder...

If we did this... If we did that. **** they're hilarious. Some even complaining about not having Lobbe desptie the fact he was dropped

Shades of Sando.."we could beat Swallow if only we had one of those defenders who are sitting back in Adelaide right now.."

 

[the universal]

I know they won but, geez the Dogs looked hopeless for a good two quarters in total there.

Port got less today on a perfect afternoon than us last week on a cold, windy Sunday twilight match. ******* lol.

Loved the Port fan on the main board during the week who was having a go at posters who had Port's crowd at anything less than 45k.

I have just done the same.

[Grooster24]

Kern pretty much saying fans should be happy they had a crack.

 

[Mike Smyth]

I like the big Captains miss from Boak in the 4th. Massive cheers from Dereayne only to miss. Would have won them the game.

Boaks best footy is behind him. Really good player though.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

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.

Or both, which is the true answer.

 

[chazwazza]

Just did, to find out how Fireman Kane is coping.

And heard: "Well, the thing is about Charlie Dixon is he is rarely outmarked."

So they've got a huge marking forward, who is paid a shitload of money to mark the footy, and now his big strength is his opponent doesn't mark it either.

KC is seriously deluded here and with his previous comments about Tex he's painted himself in a corner for the sake of having something controversial to say. Sure it might be good for ratings but at the expense of your integrity? Hmmm

 

[Bicks]

FFS Kane " Robbie Gray best player in the comp at the moment "

Not too far away IMO.

 

[Grooster24]

"We play Port Adelaide most of the time". " We don't give up"

Never change kern

 

[GreyCrow]

Well be adding Menzel to that list by round 23

Before that hopefully

 

[MRB37]

Boaks best footy is behind him. Really good player though.

He's fallen off a cliff pretty quickly. Getting his touches, but just not really impacting games massively anymore.

 

[Archie87]

Is Hinkley capable of constructing a sentence with using a baseless cliche about not giving up or trying hard?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lindy's husband

More likely shazza's defacto.

Ha!

 

[AFC3000]

Since moving to Adelaide Oval we've had more people through the gates from 3 less games.

Their average attendance has dropped off by 5,000, ours started at 48,000 and remains at 48,000 (theirs was never that high).

They also have the 11 lowest Adelaide Oval attendances.

But yep they've overtaken us.

Time for a "Port fans, do you want your club to be more like Adelaide?" article? Rucci?

Reading this a few years on is good for a laugh...

He sounds right out of his depth.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Cliche Ken is back at it.

 

[PrideOf]

He sounds right out of his depth.

He was fine as a head coach with a real coach like Richardson or Walsh behind him.

 

[Geoffa32]

Dixon's contested marking has got worse this year. Last year he was top four for winning one on on contests. This is why Port are now paying him key forward money. This year he has been struggling to mark unless on a midget.

Oh wait, he had Tom Lynch with him last year drawing a key defender. Carry on.
