2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion Part 2

[Mr_Moogle]

The minor premiership/choked prelim is what we call the "Neil Craig special".

This game is going to haunt them for years.

 

[Scorpus]

So Hinkley has only won one final in the last 5 years at the end of the day

(And that was a home final against the worst finals team of the last decade)

Sign him up boys!

 

[Stan16]

Just incase you missed it last night, here's vision of Hartlett playing the drums after the game.

 

[SugarShane]

Some Port players are the biggest floppers in the game. Gray is one of the worst and you watch Dixon go for a mark, his go to is to play for a free. It was good to see them get called out for it last night.

Dixon was out of sorts early. Had plenty opportunities to clunk a big one or crash a pack but instead swan dived every contest. Occasion got the better of him early I reckon.

And watch Schofield be snapped up by either North, Melbourne, Essendon or Fremantle.


Or us if Nicks doesn't work out.

Can't we be the bigger people here?

No.

[SugarShane]

But umpires tho.

Voss to North, Bassett to Adelaide.

 

[TheRoo32]

What a beautiful morning to wake up to!

Checks scores again...

 

[Stan16]

Does Bassett have a contract next year at Port?

 

[Bearded Clam]

Someone has to photoshop a can of Choke in Ken's hand!

Someome clear something up for me.. is the lads name Travis “Boak” or Travis “Choke”??..

Not sure after last night..

 

[pjcrows]

Looking at the stats and watching some of the key moments back, Port lost the game in the same way they've lost a lot of games in the past 5 years - a lot of possessions at half back and on the wings and a lot of Inside 50s, but no real structure or plan. They got away with it this year in the minor round with a favourable draw but never fixed the core issue and got exposed last night and against Geelong, who didn't kick straight.

 

[feenix67]

Tell you what, last night was another example that the Pear have no connection to the Magpie heritage. There's no way the Maggies I grew up hating would have lost that game. One club my arse.

 

[hey shorty]

Not sure but like everyone else they'll need to make coaching cuts.

 

[ABAB]

I dunno about twanging an arrow, but the twerp clanged an uncontested chest mark off a good kick from Rozee in the third.
Boak's ootf from about 35m out was significant too. I loved both mistakes --- schadenfreude is delicious.
Good: Port got done.
Bad: Richmond go to the GF

Wasn't the kick from around 45m....old legs can't kick that far anymore especially late in the game and on a wet deck, he went for too much.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Voss to North, Bassett to Adelaide.

If North are smart they'll approach Ross Lyon .....exactly what that club needs

It does not need a Voss, that would be a huge mistake ......North will now appoint Voss & be true to form

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I missed Derrsma getting in Lynch’s face. Any clips of it?

I'll put it next to the dropped mark for comedic effect.

 

[Geoffa32]

Voss to North, Bassett to Adelaide.

I would go Schofield over Voss if I was Norf.

His work at Subiaco, then reorganised Port.

Has a bit of "Clarko" about him. Success at lower level and made a real positive impact as an assistant in an AFL club.

, he was meant to be the best player since sliced bread.. turned out to be a real lazy player with lots of skill.. AFL is a marathon not a sprint, these guys will plateau.. Rozee has already had an average year and Butters is a sniper with thosd bumps to the head.. can someone tell him to stop bumping people in the head.. if he continues he'll become a hated player in the AFL.. difference between being a hard player and bumping, spud.

I can't wait for next year, Port will try to recapture their 2020 form and won't be able to with injuries and players morale being down hehhehe.

Not just Wingard but I think Hinkley stuff up the development of the all youngsters, supposedly he is very good player manager so they got comfortable with him, one can hope Port Power re-sign him for another 3 years......

 

[Scrogdogg]

Set the tone early.

Dusty kicks the opener. Tough as hell from a sharp angle, all business. Revs his team mates up but very much a "job's not done" mentality.

Rozee kicks a Jenkins special and he's posing for the crowd and giving them a bit of "look at me", Katniss kicks a goal, shoots the arrow and gets in Lynch's face.

One team was in party mode from the start, had the result pencilled into the Footy Record already, the other was there to get a job done.

yep. Power players have to divest themselves from wallowing in the ‘never tear us apart’ adoration theatre that their supporters stage up. Their club has embraced posturising , and that doesn’t equate to success away from the tv screen.

 

[jackster83]

Really unfortunate that Dixon didn't play last night. Game might have been different if he was out there.

They got away with it this year in the minor round with a favourable draw but never fixed the core issue and got exposed last night and against Geelong, who didn't kick straight.

Their workman midfield got absolutely smashed in contested work in the second half too which is the entire backbone of their gameplan

 

[ABAB]

*except for Brisbane

I'm sticking up for them because I believe in giving credit where it's due instead of just bagging someone because they lost. Just because their supporters bagged us for losing the 17 GF doesn't mean we have have to return fire.

Can't we be the bigger people here?

It's becoming obvious that despite this being a forum, and a 'non Crows discussion' one at that, we are still unable to give Port any sort of credit whatsoever. Lesson learnt.

And that's why this season* was always an asterisk season whether Brisbane won the premiership or not, there is no doubt Brisbane affected the top 4 and 8 by having all those home games.

Does he mean when the umpires paid several dodgy deliberates that lead to a Port goal?

Think it was him last night that also wished a horrific death on him. Mentally not right if footy means literally life or death to him.

 

[Scorpus]

Did someone check Rockliff's pants for brown stains after last night's performance?
