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

[FootySmartSimpson]

They are but hopefully the wheels come off in a spectacular manner

I think we should all prepare for pick 16-18 coming back to us from the JHF trade.

 

[Horizons_00]

In fairness port are playing some pretty ******* good footy. Don’t hate me but I’m actually enjoying watching.

God dammit

I hate it too, but their skills and tackling pressure is elite. And yeah they’re playing great footy.

Oh and Butters and Rozee are incredible.

Times are tough for us north supporters haha

Im not saying theyre not, im saying its round 10

8 and 2 last year? Carlton

Never mind Carlton, this is the fifth or sixth time Hinkley has been in this position only for the arse to fall out in the back end of the season, or end spectacularly in a cutthroat final:

2014: 11-2
2017: 14-8
2018: 11-4
2020: 15-3
2021: 18-5

The wildcard this time around is the sideline coaching situation, and just how loose his grip is on the gameplan/tactical situation now that he’s not stuck in his aquarium drowning in sugarfree soda — so who knows, the relative miracle could be in play.

But historically, the implosion is always right around the corner.

 

[Mixed Results]

I’ll definitely take a midseason Hinkley extension followed by a first round exit and a pick in the 11-14 range.

After Wardlaw’s debut today you’ll realise that we’re winning the trade regardless.

At one point last night he was kicking back on the boundary and I was waiting for him to crack a tin.

The wildcard this time

…is the death ride.
You can thank us, port are winning the flag. By extension it’s our flag too.
Congrats everyone!

As its known that l am a proverbial jinx when it comes to picking players for Supercoach, they either play poor or get injured, l have decided to pick both Butters and Rozee in my team from now on...This sacrifice l do in making sure Poort fail for the rest of the season...Thank me later..

F*ck me, havent seen so many happy to be May premiers in a while.

I’d be happy to be a May premier at this stage!!

 

[shinboner magic]

F*ck me, havent seen so many happy to be May premiers in a while.

Yeah we use to * being jan- march premiers every second year

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Only Kane is to blame.

 

[scottywiper]

Only Kane is to blame.

Go us.

 

[Horizons_00]

Go us.

It’s kind of sad we just bowed down to treat him like a protected golden child. We shouldn’t pander to anyone.

Miss the days of ruthlessness. Even those games against the hawks because hodge hitting swallow etc

 

[Karanicolas]

Only Kane is to blame.

This is so patronising from Ken Hinkley.

They, in collusion with JHF and his manger, tampered with the draft both at the time JHF was selected and when he put in his trade request.

What burns me is that we did not have the team to respond on the field.

Here’s Poorta holding the May Premiership

What ever it is, it’s just a bonus on top of Wardlaw.

 

[Carey4life]

No we picked Butters with our standard first rounder.

The Polec/Pittard pick eventually became the one we used on Rozee.

Hope this helps.

It was Pick 11. A bit revisionist. What isn't revisionist is saying 2018 was an unbelievable draft and Port Adelaide managed to draft some of the best players, of a very good crop, with every pick.

It makes Norths Pick 8 look a bit sad (despite all his natural talent) ...

I agree. We have become so soft and I hate it.

 

[hammo24]

How did swans make the GF? they are shocking

 

[The Nostradamus]

Wardlaw playing well makes this thread and the deathride easier to stomach

I know, that’s why I said eventually. We turned 11 into 5 through later pick swaps with Freo and Brisbane. Anyway my point was it wasn’t used on Butters, who we picked at 12.

Although I guess you could’ve picked Butters before us at 11 had you held on to it, if you want to look at it that way.

What trades did you do to upgrade 11 to 5?

We should have done whatever that was

Both trades with Freo and Brisbane were a bit complicated but from memory it cost roughly 3x second rounders for us to move from 11 to 5 (if you ignore the late pick swaps and Mayes coming in, who proved to be a fringe player at best).

Yeah just looking at those trades now I don’t think we would have had the same collateral to trade up 11 to that pick

What we should have done tho instead of trading it to you for Polec/Pittard if we can’t move up was to trade it for a future first

This shouldn’t have been hard to do as it was deemed a strong draft but we stupidly went for ready made talent as brad Scott wanted to top up again

Zurharr was taught a lesson by our captain on the difference between talking tough and actually being tough.
