Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

[CrowinNT]

Why do our fans think Charlie Cameron deserves a flag? He’s a turn coat that shafted us after we picked him as a rookie. He can get rightly ****ed.

Interesting take just get over it and embrace the player he is

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

They will lose Parker and Papley and a few others but the Swans are still fairly young. They should get back there again.

Papley?

 

[jenny61_99]

Stenglein

Oh yes, forgot!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Or part of the reason we are where we are. He deserves nothing from us

It's 100% us

We couldn't pay him what he (and Lever) were worth because we were so infatuated with our senior stars who we had to stitch up on long term, huge dollar deals.

He left because we are inept, no other reason.

 

[Redline]

Papley?

Sorry, I thought he was a few years older. Got a good three or four years left.

 

[jackster83]

A touch of the Port Powers about them

Some pretty ordinary types around a star-studded midfield

Cunningham, McInerney, Melican, McLean just triers
Rampe and Parker done
McDonald and Amartey good enough?

Still a bit of a question mark over some of their mids when the game isn't going their way. Gulden especially.

Wouldn't have happened at Port. They'll turf a senior bloke for the shiny new thing any day.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Its interesting. We all know you have to have a superb midfield to be a contender. Sydney have it but its been an avalanch of inside 50 marks to Brisbane thats killed them as well.

Horse has now lost 4x grand finals by an average of 10 goals... & won 1.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Every Port supporter praying for bigger blowout. Bahahaha

That record ain't flying nowhere.

Sorry, a lot of the Port Powers about them!

 

[Moonwatcher]

Leigh Matthew hands over the reigns as the last Brisbane premiership coach.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Imagine being shit enough to lose by more than twice this margin. lol port.

I wonder how many we missed out on attracting because of Sloane's 4 year big dollars contract that we didn't get anything close to a reasonable return on.

 

[Samcro24]

From Vegas Battalions
To premiership medallions

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I just saw Fagan crack a smile.

 

[Southerntakeover]

The real glory is, Port fans get to hope that their margin will get broken every year and every year it stands.

They're the ultimate grand final losers.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Channel 7 sure do love giving criminal degenerates 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances.

It’s kind of whatever now, it’s been a while and I don’t think he would have enjoyed the camp…

But just for me, I kind of think ok fair enough someone leaves when your bottom 8 or something, that’s the business.

But that everyone works so hard to put together a premiership team, a top 4 team, one that needs to stay up for a while to get the ultimate reward.

The players that walk out on that? Not my favourites.

I guess in the end it’s all business because I’d certainly want our club to go after players in the same position.

To be honest I really don’t wish anybody too much luck beyond their time with us, I don’t really get attached to the players like that.

Takes a fair bit anyway.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Shit Anthony Daniher looks exactly like his brother.

We got good value in a trade too.

It seems relatively obvious that our club didn't see the full potential in him. Good luck to him.

Putting 2007 in perspective.

Ports record losing margin of 119 points is about double todays margin.

Long live 119!!!

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Lots of ugly crying and bro grabs going on.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Shame on those who did everything that they could to destroy Chris Fagan’s reputation for a massive pay out.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Nice of Fort to make a beeline for the Big O straight after the siren

Was writing the same post. This feels like a huge win, guess I forgot what watching 119 unfold felt like. Imagine what it felt like for Port supporters.
