Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

Can’t help but think that if Pork go out in straight sets there might be a player or two wanting out the way this trade season has been shaping

 

[GROTTO]

Well I certainly was not expecting that result. There seemed to be an air on inevitability around them. Then Koch came out of his cave in the bye week, and I thought "this may not end well for them".

But then Tom Stewart was a late out and I thought, well it's happening. Not even Hinkley could lose to a Stewart-less Cats.

Hinkley gonna Hinkley, I guess.

Now, how do they rebound from that? Is it even possible? Has a team ever been so thoroughly, comprehensively routed in the first final, and then bounced back to win a flag? That was a "Wildcard plays actual finalist" level of beating, not 2v3. This could galvanise them, or break them.

I really hope it's the latter.

The most important watch tonight is injuries and or suspensions for the winning team.

If they can win unscathed it will go a long way to replicating Catastrophic Power Failure again at AO next week.

Was it Tredders that said this?

No, just a random caller at the end of their show, but because the caller sounded ‘ITK’ seemed to gain traction

I hope Pork was a deliberate typo

IMO the only players that can truly land Port a Top 10 pick this year is JHF, Butters and Rozee.

They are dreaming if they think Houston will land them a coveted single digit 1st.

Only 1 team to lose a home QF has won the flag under the current system which was WCE in 06 when they lost to Sydney by 1 point, so 83 points off

I think Bergmann is gone in 12 months time. He might bring that forward.

 

[GROTTO]

Pretty impressive that the Port board has averaged 25 posts a day for 12 years calling for Hinkley to be sacked

Fun Data with Grotto

I call them Porked Power

 

[GROTTO]

So then.................will 5AA be worth listening to later this arvo?

Thinking about this song most of today, just watching the clip it turns out it’s a great representation of Adelaide supporters and Pork supporters today.
Adelaide supporters being Katrina and Pork supporters being the sullen looking blokes in the grey drab trench coats.

Kane cornes spotted at the royal adelaide show.

 

[Samcro24]

Kinda awkward but bugger it he took the piss out of Port

How’s the delivery

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Great sight on channel 7

 

[GROTTO]

Its kind of beautiful what is going on at Alberton at the moment.

 

[GROTTO]

Let me guess, "Geelong supporters" causing trouble because they are winning?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

HAHHAHAH

 

[jackster83]

They are tearing themselves apart.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I'd reply to her, looks like Port didn't either based on last night

She be getting smashed

 

[Punchy Bassett]

whos this?

The latest Adelaide D grade celeb who jumped on the bandwagon, but claims to have been a 'vocal Port fan 4ever'. Only started posting about footy in August.

You know the type weekend at bernies rocks up to games in their brand new tops

Rowey said on AA Butters played golf last week.

In order to keep the unity of my household with my Hawks supporting future wife, I will be on hokball tonight

Maybe Rozee might jump ship after the way the supporter base has turned on him.

I’m thinking Butters
