Wouldn't a fairer analysis be that because a team was always defending their defensive stats would be better? Its like tackle counts. They eye test suggests the teams with high tackle counts are behind in the contest.

I can tell you that Power Pete was given the authority, by the Port Adelaide Football Club, to take Photo's at any time at training, with the proviso, that he cannot make any comment on any of the training or players.

The gap in all this is what can he actually do with the photo's.

The mere fact that he has sought permission to take photo's is telling. Has he been assigned ownership rights of the images by Poort Power? placing water marks to claim ownership i'd say is just someone beating their chest.

Alleged, purple monkey dishwasher, 3rd hand "authority" is not accreditation.

He has rights to use, and therefore own/assert rights, or he does not.

Does he have that formal right?

I think it's likely to be a case of someone going on a power trip on the back of a "yeah, sure, whatever".

I've taken photographs of our players at training sessions whilst I was standing next to our club's staff, and you know what they said? Nothing, not even a dirty look or sideways glance.

I think only Port Adelaide has done this. I don't see any photo's on any other BF boards etc.
I do know that it took a while for Port to give the authority to Peter, and he abides with their wishes.
Before he had to ask if it was ok to take photo's and they told him yes or no.

You should try looking harder then.

I guess we'll see if I'm right this season now that we have everyone back on board won't we?

Firstly don't flatter yourself that I'm here everyday - I haven't looked at this board for a couple of weeks like I said.

Remember all that shit you lot gave me about me talking about our defensive tactics? How we were trying to do a press all over the ground and how I used the heat map of possessions to prove it?

Here's s comparison of your defence to ours, courtesy of Champion Data:

Forward 50 defence: Adelaide 3rd, Port 6th

Attacking Midfield defence: Adelaide 7th, Port 5th

Centre defence: Adelaide 8th, Port 2nd

Defensive Midfield defence: Adelaide 3rd, Port 9th

Defensive 50 defence: Adelaide 2nd, Port 1st

"They (Port) actually invested in the press more than any other side...They won matches when their press worked and they lost when it faltered." - AFL Prospectus 2017

The difference being - you had your best 22 on the ground for pretty much the whole season. The same can't be said for us. We had to play three rookies in defence.

Here's another thing - I told you that most of your scores are generated from counter-attack: 19.9% from defensive 50 (5th) and 22.6% from defensive midfield (4th) vs 12.2% from centre bounce (10th), 30.9% from attacking midfield (8th - because everyone presses kick ins) and 14.3% from forward 50 (17th). So 42% of your scoring was generated from defence during open play...but it wasn't counter attack.

Compare that to West Coast, who people mistakenly think you play like - 16.4% from defensive 50 (11th) and 19.0% from defensive midfield (15th) vs 10.8% from centre bounce (14th), 37.4% from attacking midfield (1st) and 16.4% from forward 50 (13th). That's a press.

Oh, and if you want to know what they say about Adelaide, it's that you need one or two more midfielders to step up to be a true contender - since apart from Sloane who is elite and Douglas who is above average, the rest of your mids rate average. Which is why I told you that you needed Gibbs, in spite of his front running ways. At Carlton he was rated above average - in your system he would have been elite.

2 weeks without being here? I'd like to see that.

Heat maps, thats the last on my list to give you shit about, my preference being:

Port supporters weren't bandwagon supporters they just stopped going to AAMI to change management.
Port went easy on us in the Walsh Showdown and you would smack us around this year.
Western Bulldogs weren't that good and would get found out and then they go on to win the flag.
I can't remember the game last year, but you reckoned Port were going to smack your opponent leading to an all mighty run to the Holy Grail but you got spanked.
If every Port player improves their metres gained by 50 metres a game that would be good.

There's more but they just spring to mind.

As for your excuse about injuries being behind your press failing that's another one to add to the list. You were shit from the start of the preseason before you could claim injuries. Some of the kids you brought up were actually ok, it was your senior players that were a let down, you even tried to offload one of them for being slack.

The less optimistic ones on here know our midfield is an issue, it's hardly an original thought on your behalf. As for Gibbs you bagged him when you thought we were going to get him and then claimed we needed him when we didn't, so you're full of shit.

Port should get permission from Eddie to wear their prison bars. That'll counteract the Shanghai Suns use of China's national colours.

1. Screw Eddie
2. They should, at least it would be a point of difference and stop all the Gold Coast jumper talk.
