Port fans would never want us to do well, so why should we want them to do well? That defeats the purpose of a cross-town rivalry.

Perhaps we do need the Power to win the flag so we can get our club out of its slumber.
Nah! No thank you.

Yep the club got done for arranging a promotional job for Tippett and not including it in the TPP.
The fact that we could have included it in our TPP and still been under the cap and we didn't just shows just how inept the club actually was.
Just another shining example of Trigg's incompetence.

IMO, there is no way they lose either of them because those 3 JHF, Butters and Rozee have the potential to deliver multiple premierships together and they know it. It would be a dumb career move.

Think he means to injury during the season
They have won 5 close games and probably this one as well if not for the incorrect umpire call so.......
Ken’s playing the Milli Vanilli role of coach perfect it’s whether Josh Carr’s happy just being the one in the recording studio

The Ratpack!
Arthur Jones with 0 possessions in 68% TOG.
That's a George Costanza sleeping under his desk kind of effort.

Correct.
I find myself desperately hoping for a Collingwood premiership now..such a Sophie’s choice. Did see some interesting stat the other day that something like only 1 premiership winner in the last 6 years was in the top 2 in Rd 13…can only hope that form holds…
Port remind me of the 2002 crows. Lead by an all star midfield Roo, McLeod, Goodwin and Edwards we went all the way to the preliminary finals. Issue was we lacked enough around the ground to take us to the premiership. Port are this. No doubt great midfield but the rest of the team are mediocre mixed with a few above average.

They’ve got a solid backline…and have enough decent forwards, no star forwards is made up for there 3 gun goal kicking midfielders..anyway as another poster said, let’s hope collingwood have a good grand final

Their forward line is better than most. Their defense is very solid. Midfield is great. Teir weakness is ruck.

I think they will make it this year, Port and Collingwood are the clear standouts….Ken has been a pretty unlucky coach I feel, should have made it at least once to the big dance. Don’t think he is that bad of a coach as some make out. This feels like their year unfortunately, whether they win the GF or not is another story.
Yep, we have the joys of Leigh Fisher and Eleni instead.
Who here would be willing to see Port win a flag if it guaranteed us one? Would you do it for a 75% chance? 50%?
When is the last time an AFL footballer went through a game without getting a kick?
That’s always been the message but I’m not too sure.
The fact that we rolled over with such harsh penalties about a week after the news broke suggests there was more at play. Crows and the AFL didn’t want the facts to come out so they settled quickly. Crows got their punishment for cheating and AFL maintained the competition is fair and wasn’t actually compromised. Move along nothing to see here.
That doesn’t happen over a ‘clerical error’.

Yes, but still around the mark if they can keep up the manic pressure. I'm not going to wish injuries on them though, that's not cool. Let's hope they stay healthy AND lose
Nah they were the facts. The issue was the crows didnt want it dragging into the season moving forward and neither did Tippetts management. The AFL agreed to do it quickly and abided by the requests of all parties. The fact we accepted harsher penalties than we needed compared to other clubs suggests our eagerness to roll over quickly cost us far more than we needed. Had we fought for the facts and didnt offer up sanctions in all likely hood we probably would have not received such a penalty because we paid Tippett no more than the cap allows. Didnt Reid and another get suspensions as well? We no doubt would have received a suspended penalty for breach of the cap processes while the guilty people would have still received their suspensions.

I agree, we play in some shiit hole in the country, instead of the fast paced Marvel Stadium.
Even removing my biased hat off, I still definitely believe we would have pushed the Dogs hard and possibly won if the game was at Marvel.
