Let's talk Ports! Part 2

[Enviable Tradition]

There's a lot of low hanging fruit - the motto, the co-captains, reinforcing the creed, not having Koch or Ken around anymore.

The next person running for the board could literally just send in a pic of them in a prison bars Guernsey with the #1 on it and write "vote for me ****ers".

I'd like to point out as well that for all the making community proud work, Port actually stopped funding the yearly combined footy game played between Broken Hill and Roxby Downs.

Actually they never funded it in the first place, we were just allowed a meal at Alberton and a spot for the curtain raiser. The local leagues covered everything else. This year it was played on Roxby with no affiliation to Port anymore.

Seems like a strange move to make, I guess that was the only thing that had to go to make way for other stuff. Something something groups of people that do contain but isn't strictly restricted to those demographics not warranting an experience to play footy at a world class stadium and get an AFL experience that many will cherish for the rest of their lives

The tackles to clanger stat is more damning and surprising than the others. What even is the point of all that defensive pressure if we aren't even forcing mistakes? Actually forcing the LEAST mistakes of any club?

I'm not even mad or disappointed. Just perplexed!

Thats because Interstater has done some shitty number fudging there. We're 18th for LEAST Opposition Clangers. That means Port cause more opposition clangers than any other team.

Just some rewriting

Ranked 2nd in Tackles Per Game
Ranked 18th in least Opponent Clangers Per Game

This should actually be
Ranked 2nd in Tackles Per Game
Ranked 1st in Opposition Clangers Per Game.

This stat combo is actually a good result. We put on the second most tackles, and cause the opponents to give up the ball more than anyone else.

Everything else is still ****ed though.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Yeah that tackle/clanger stat makes more sense.

We’re executing our coach’s plan fine, its just that its a shitty workery hardery focused plan (like Richardson’s) that completely sucks at the important part of football: creating delivery of the football through the goals

Hence why we are 3rd for clangers, and accordingly 9th for turnover differential.

The AFL can veto any member "elected" board member.

Apologies, i’m home sick at the moment and have some cognitive dulling. I’ll shut up now. Thank you for pointing that out.

Yep, and here we are in the 5th consecutive year that scoring against decent opposition has been a problem.

During that time we've had names like Schulz, Gray, Wingard, Dixon, Monfries and Boak playing in that forward line.

Every year we've been told they've figured out what the problem is and that it'll be fixed. Every year we've been told that it's just out of form players and bad luck.

Sucks to be Jordan Johns....

Jordan Johns got to be on the list the same time as John Butcher. I can't see a single sucky thing about that.

You don't suppose Port might change NTUA to Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?

Just want to see how the Behavioural Awareness Officers react when 40,000 people sing the chorus.

 

[FishingRick04]

What would our club look like if we kept Cahill until 2004 instead of sacking him for Williams?

Sliding doors?

Mate, you haven't quite grasped the concept:

If <randomly generated rumour or musing> then <concocted bull**** outcome>

 

[Doctor Feel]

Wait...what? I'm not a smart man so can someone explain what the business case is for this project?

Uhhhh...Aurora borealis.

Wouldn't have held on to Tredrea, so there's that.

Yeah interesting. I just wonder if that moment opened up a soft belly for Port though?

 

[bomberclifford]

Uhhhh...Aurora borealis.

In Alberton? At this time of year? Located entirely in a 50 bed hostel?

So how many of you sang "bring back the bars" at the end of NTUA instead of "tear us apart"?

Good to see also the big screens showed pics of supporters wearing the PB's now and again. Though they may not have shown on the TV I guess.

Wines will be on the Footy Show shortly.

Not sure if this has been posted already.
Love these two. On top of being great footy players they also have awesome personalities.

Power fire-starter Duursma closes on new deal

Having set Port Adelaide on their way to what could prove a season-defining win over top side Geelong, first-round draft pick Xavier Duursma is close to finalising an extension on his two-year deal as discussions to lock in fellow young guns Zak Butters and Connor Rozee also progress.

Duursma, the 18-year-old Victorian drafted from Gipplsand Power at pick 18 last year, exploded out of the blocks against the Cats with 10 disposals in the first quarter as the Power took the initiative after making the bold selection call to drop Paddy Ryder, Sam Powell-Pepper and Justin Westhoff.

Duursma is one of Port's three first-round picks to set the competition alight in their first season.
Butters, who played for the Western Jets and graduated from the Maribyrnong Academy, playing all bar one game despite having a shoulder operation in his draft year, while Rising Star chance Rozee has been a sensation, his explosive performances uncommon for a first-year player.

There has been speculation that Port Adelaide wanted to announce the re-signing of the three players simultaneously, however negotiations are understood to remain ongoing.

Power fire-starter Duursma closes on new deal

Port Adelaide's uncovered three potential stars in the 2018 national draft and the trio are heading closer to locking in long term with the Power

Wouldn't have held on to Tredrea, so there's that.

We don't know for sure that would have eventuated.
