Oppo Camp 2023 Death Ride: Poorta dlelie Footbal Club Power (Est. 1997) - Port out in straight sets, NMFC get pick #14

[Marstermind]

Suspect the club told Ralph this position without quotes because they know there are plenty of fully grown adults who may not buy a membership if their club dare tells them they shouldn't boo a teenager

More likely that Ralph just made it up. At best he asked someone in a North media polo who he didn't know, "D'ya like people booing Horne-Francis?" and got a "I dunno. S'pose not."

 

[Devington]

Everyone knows why he is being booed. It coming from neutrals is a bit of a surprise I guess, but it was always a risk when you're the first ever number one pick to be visibly petulant during your first year and then demand a trade to a specific club at the end of it. It aint courageous no matter how you spin it, and no club wants to have it happen to them if and when they're the shittest team in the comp and get the golden pick.

The feigned ignorance by the media and commentators is just dumb and counteractive if you actually wanted it to stop. Commentators I can maybe understand, I mean they are literally directed to cover the umpires arses for them so this could be similar, but the news articles and some of the pontification in the general media is insulting.

However, good on Hinkley for defending his player, even if I think the "courageous" line was an eyeroller.

 

[JGreezy]

Lol

This thread is to talk about the Port pick that North own. There's other threads to talk about North Melbourne.

 

[JGreezy]

Its negligence on Ken's part of get all defensive about the booing. He's throwing JHF under the bus. Now it will never stop.

Do you think some drunk, ratty, fans at the ground are going to listen to "he's only 19, don't pick on him, it hurts his feelings"?

Got a question for you.

My wife saw a news item about club locks on TV and was thinking of getting one but her car is relatively new it has the electronic lock and keyless ignition etc. so I would expect it isn't too easy to steal.

But I figured you might know if modern cars are actually quite easy to steal and if a club lock is any kind of deterrent.

Any advice?

And from your experience, what cars are the most difficult to steal?

 

[Crocodile Dumbdee]

Since you asked let’s hope Port Adelaide Power don’t sing NEVER TEAR US APART in their next home final.

PORT ADELAIDE 1.1 3.4 5.8 6.9 (45)
WESTERN BULLDOGS 7.2 12.8 14.12 17.14 (116)

MELBOURNE 21 14 114
WESTERN BULLDOGS 10 6 66

It is plausible that Matthew Richardson does not actually know. He's about as smart as a house brick.

 

[JGreezy]

So, right now we have picks 7 and 10.

I reckon Bullies, Freo and Geelong will pass Port and we might slip to pick 5. That gives us picks 5 and 7.

[DuckYeah]

Mob mentality fueled by mainstream and social media. Half the poeple wouldn't even know why they do it.

Im going to tassie when we play yas, not to watch footy or anything. Im going there to Boo him and throw allens milk bottle lollies at him.

 

[Luke72]

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley hit out in a carefully orchestrated plea after the Power’s Adelaide Oval clash against the Western Bulldogs.

I wonder if it was as carefully orchestrated as their plan to poach Horn Fabian

MELBOURNE 21 14 114
WESTERN BULLDOGS 10 6 66

Stay on topic or take it somewhere else.

He’s a devious, duplicitous turncoat.

Deserves everything he gets for the way he acted.

**** him, and his convicted wife bashing step father.

Where will the Priority Pick land,?

Allen's are OK but there is nothing like the real thing!

Afl probably still has brad in charge of the formula so end of 3rd round and we have to trade it for a 4th rounder or lose it

Nah smart move by Kenny, he has strapped his footy future on the back of the 19 year old.
He’s going to ride the im a concerned parent right into a new contract.

You can already see the strategy,

Smart for his own career but bad for JHF and will make the booing worse.
