Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[Slippery Pete]

I know we're all enjoying Port being a basketcase and I know this is typical bigfooty, but this obsession with them is pretty embarrassing - we've only won 1 game ourselves. We were in their position just two years ago, humble yourselves.

In the words of Mark Ricciuto: “I kind of agree with this. But not really.”

Look, some of us here who are older than insert age here (this definitely isn’t me, I’m still only 21)…. remember what it was like before Port came into the AFL.

Obsession isn’t even the word. Their entire lives from 1991-1996 were dedicated to seeing, anticipating and contributing to, the failure of the Adelaide Football Club.

It wasn’t just the fans either, it was people involved with Port Adelaide.

Anybody here remember Chocco Williams giving Collingwood intel about what the Crows were doing, whenever we played the Pies?

Pretty sure I’m not imagining that.

All they’d do was talk incessantly about how they’d do things so much better when they were in the AFL.

Heh.

Anyway…

TL;DR : **** Port

 

[Slippery Pete]

Tex deserves to be boo'd for the rest of his career Craig Kelly got into an altercation at the game with an Essendon fan and the integrity unit needed to investigate because he stood up for Tex

Kane is looking more like the old man by the day.

And acting like him, too.

The VFL will come out and say that we have had a South Australian in charge and now we need a Victorian to focus on grassroots in Victoria....

Who is the front runner for his job?

Ben Gale?

You can be absolutely certain it will be someone approved by the VFL who will have Victorian interests at heart. Nothing more certain.

Cheney was our AFLX premiership captain wasn’t he?
Doesn’t get enough credit around here.

Is he still winning flags and sinking pints at Hahndorf?

We still have more AFLX premierships than any other club. I doubt AFLX will ever see another dynasty like ours. It's been a long time now, but back then it just felt like we were winning it every single time.

Think the first one was a little under what we had this weekend (15,000).

They should put "Premiership Player" on their lockers.

In Comic Sans.

They changed the format because we were too good at it.

hey shorty might know?

 

[footy4ever]

Footy classified just layed the boot into Adelaide another 5 times.

Did not mention the AFLW win other than Rowe's comments about Daisy not being fit to carry Philips bags and having a go at him

McLure got his award back for his camp story

Tex deserves to be boo'd for the rest of his career Craig Kelly got into an altercation at the game with an Essendon fan and the integrity unit needed to investigate because he stood up for Tex

Apparently Ben Keays and McHenry appealing for a deliberate out of bounds with their arms out is umpire dissent and it should be 50m

Oh and the AFLW was brought up again but only to say the crowd was disgraceful for booing the umpires.

Who advocated for Tex to be booed for the rest of his career?

I assume they all got the premiership tattoos on their arses.
