Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 7

[Pt Augusta Power]

Tom Rehn is probably the only crows supporting reporter who seems impartial.

Streets ahead of ducking Theo on channel 7.

Whilst I strongly disagree with Tredders anti-vax stance, he's at least seen it through and stuck by his convictions

Unlike ol' mate DJoker so I hear

Yes, despite all the evidence presented in favour of vaccination and having experienced the consequences of contract termination/dissolution we should be proud that our only AFL premiership captain is refusing to reconsider.

What a bellend.

But ..but my support of Port Adelaide is intergenerational and it does mean quite a lot, Ange. (After last night he should be proud though):

, who was interviewing him on SEN, as “Port Adelaide [versus] Adelaide Crows 1000 times more, mate.”
“It’s pretty intense. It’s because it’s generational, it’s passed on from great-grandparents to their kids, to their kids, to their kids,” he said. “It’s just entrenched in society here, they’re pretty passionate about this football club, it’s more than just a football club to be fair to them. It’s part of their life. When you invest generationally ... it means a hell of a lot.”

This is for the media nods head, rather than shakes head thread. I heard it and thought he was spot on.

The Crows Port rivalry is highly manufactured. Just like the crows themselves.

The afl really screwed our state over when creating that business.

Having said that - the afl has manufactured most rivalries. They all seem fake.

It might have been manufactured in a court room, but its not media manufactured. Its real.

Norwood didn't have the guts to carry an intergenerational rivalry onto the national stage.

 

[Grave Danger]

Apart from the length of time the Old Firm rivalry has been going, probably the difference between it and the Port-Crows rivalry is that I can handle Crows winning games where it helps our ladder position, but Celtic and Rangers fans may not say the same

Not really any historic religious issues I am aware of between us and the Camries either.

Plenty of history, but thankfully nothing ethnic or religious.

To an extent....

The SNAFL rivalries are real, and so the real rivalry on show isn't Port vs the racists, but actually Port vs a bunch of people who are sad that their team isn't able to be in the game directly.

The Crows/Port rivalry isn't manufactured.
It's a direct result of them being created to stop us moving up.
To them we will always be traitors.

As genuine a reason for rivalry as any!

Indeed, the rivalry is very real, and has decades of anti-port hatred behind it, be it whatever incarnation the SANFL flogs have thrown at us - The Crows merely being their latest manufactured representation.

 

[El_Scorcho]

The Port Crows rivalry is the realest one in the league. None of the historical Victorian rivalries get close, and the Western Derby is out because Freo are so far behind in every sense.

It is intergenerational and obviously so.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I don't have a problem with Ange's statement. Port v Crows is the most passionate rivalry in the AFL, but by world soccer standards it's barely a polite disagreement. Soccer rivalries are insane.

 

[Steve Dore]

Whilst I strongly disagree with Tredders anti-vax stance, he's at least seen it through and stuck by his convictions ...

His ability to continue to ignore the fact that he is wrong despite all of the evidence that shows he is clearly wrong and in the loony minority should be celebrated.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Most crows supporters don’t even know why they hate Port. They’re clueless.

He was the ultimate pro in his playing days. I bet if he was a current player he'd suck it up and get jabbed, even if his missus was all facebooky about it.

 

[Festerz]

Related to the fact most crow supporters don't know why they follow the crows. They've swallowed this 'team for all South Australians' corporate BS hook, line and sinker

Hah, the ones in the Uk have calmed down a fair bit since the sanitation of the game through the premier league.
Had quite a few run ins (on non game days) for wearing a Cardiff pin badge in certain shitty towns and locales back in the day!
You get literally run out of town .

We only get the semi sanitised version from the big Euro nations leagues in our media. They ignore the small countries of Europe, and those in Asian nations or Latin America. Sure GremioPower can explain a few of them.

 

[Steve Dore]

Nah, they know. Ambassador Wrinkles continues to remind them that it is because of the treachery in 1990 of that completely different and totally unrelated club that used to have its headquarters at Alberton Oval.

 

[chiwigi]

There’s also very few rivals that are created in recent times purely to prevent the other from existing!

Port Adelaide is a religion.
The cows are a franchise.
End of story.
