Game Day 2021 Finals Matchday Supernova End of days thread

[Geoffa32]

With the list he had one premiership is the absolute minimum he should have so I’m not sure how highly he should be graded on that. He got the job done I suppose but could easily have had two or three with that list. The difference in quality between Brisbane and Port was negligible I reckon. History only rates Brisbane’s list higher because of the silverware.

I remember watching a couple of Showdowns last off season from the 199 to 2005 era.


Our two clubs should have won more than 3 flags between them from 1997 to 2006.

Both clubs stacked with talent.
It really should have been a decade of SA Greatness.

1997/98 Us
1999 North
2000 Essendon
2001 Brisbane
2002 Brisbane/Us
2003 Brisbane/Port
2004 Port
2005 Us
2006 Us

Stolen from the Port board like a person from Alberton.

Stolen Facts with Grotto.

FR0GGY you may want to check for accuracy lol. As these are not mine. lol

A beautiful set of numbers in anyone’s eyes.

What? They missed finals in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019. So he has a 55% record of making finals.

He lost a Preliminary Final at home with everything, repeat everything in their favour.

How does the media not grill them?

Port finished 6 times in the first two positions of the ladder with just one flag.

That is the quintessential definition of choking in September.

Easy. Not the Crows.

 

[GROTTO]

To be honest the media not grilling Port is the best case scenario. They had their window like how we did and now its shut firmly.

However they still believe they can still have a tilt at a flag in 2022.

I've said it before, Ill say it again
Charge your members the same prices for your membership as the rest of the league, and you'd wipe out your debt in 3 years max.

what a bizarre thing to say. You reckon they don’t *want* to charge more?

 

[Sanders]

Water under the bridge for mine, given everything that’s transpired since it’s clear we weren’t exactly angels in that situation either.

huh?

 

[Maddogmetro]

Was surrounded by a group of Port supporters at a table today. They were jerking each other off, talking about how 'at least Port made the finals', to which I simply responded, well we both ended up in the same place without a premiership but we just get a better draft pick.

Then they were going on about some rubbish that the Crows 'have no soul'. I just laughed and said, 'Yeah ok'. One chimed in with 'Ah so you admit it then!'. I just said, 'Nope. I'm just not going to waste my time arguing with stupid.'

It went quite silent after that point haha

 

[GROTTO]

I dont know if many Crows supporters believe in a higher being, but we should at least pray before tonights game.

Thank you to the Crows supporters that obviously had a prayer before the game.

 

[GROTTO]

When the Power lost focus and lost the game? Probably in the two week lead up to the game, when Port propaganda was in full swing.

FWIW I would go, would love to see a GF with Dogs v Melbourne in Perth.

 

[Soggy2112]

huh?

I don’t have any dislike for him. As much as it pissed me off at the time I feel like given everything that’s come out about us since then we were probably as much to blame for the whole Lever debacle.

what do you mean we were probably as much to blame? In what way, not paying him more than he was worth?

Someone asked me about my personal feelings towards a specific player and I gave them, don’t really feel like debating it as it’s old news.

hold on!

you started saying we were as much to blame for Lever not staying.

twice now you’ve ducked the chance to clarify why you think that?

Apart from Ebert, the rest are far from being 'legends' for Port

Yep, clearly the other 200 ex players they asked were busy.

Port Power's finals record are like the anti-Port Magpies... which makes it delicious... as they just assumed they would have the same dominance at AFL level.

2021 has peaked

They have the lowest percentage of any team of reaching a grand final after finishing either 1 or 2 after H&A.

Not only do they choke in September it could be argued that they fortuitous in landing soft draws that over inflates their true standing in each year.

Which would be borne out that they have won only 4 games against top 4 the past 5 years or so.

When they go thru a stretch like they did in 2010-2012, they may not make it out the other side.

Ken's genius coaching move for the 2022 off season:

What about if we try Allir Allir down forward when things aren't going our way?

Ah yes, the Cale Hooker special
