Opinion Non-Crows AFL 8 - Daddy Donuts Delivers Dream Drubbing

Or do they follow a crows of 2012 type script.

Crap first week, bounce back in a poorly attended home game, then take it right up to the premiership favourites on the G.

I’ll take the elimination this week to be safe.

 

[El Doederino]

I'm conflicted

A loss this weekend .. or good game and a narrow win followed by being pantsed on the G by Collingwood the following weekend

No conflict. Straight sets is the ultimate.

I know finlayson didn’t do much last week , but I’d play him ahead of Dixon. Players playing against their old side always play well

Can’t win the flag if you don’t make the prelim

This would explain why I had offers from Tickettek for $50 family passes LOL

Think of the spin if they make a prelim though .. tanker loads of bathwater. Free drinks for everyone

 

[whattagun07]

Dixon in? Fingers crossed for a few 50m penalties against. Risky move selecting him, surely.

Huge part of the Power's PR strategy is telling everyone they are a big club, that they are a great team, that they are relevant.

Just keep hammering it home.

This strategy falls apart if they again fail to even reach a grand final.

'Fake it til you make it' - doesn't really work if you never make it.

My favourite part is how they are the family club and they look after their players like no club does....except when you pass your usedby date and then your out on your arse. Like Boak.

Or have a concussion.

That saga was a big dent to their image.

That’s the part I don’t get, they’ve shafted plenty of their own players and yet they still love the club, don’t get it. Is Ken a cult?

Nah, I think they have a big issue with ex players behind the scenes. We saw first hand the anger from Schulz when concussion protocols were ignored. They talk the talk, but im not convinced at all thats the truth behind the scenes. No matter the crap the club speaks or players speak when they leave, its impossible not to take it personally as a player when forced and Port like any club would have a long list of disgruntled ex players.

 

[Crow till I die]

Tarp time?

imagine that..lol What about their pet memberships - could a few cats, dogs and rabbits fill the empties

Gee how many journos do the Port Power have on their payroll?

Idk how anyone can turn their nose up at what they’re doing with Boak… if they really are trying to let him down easy, most of us wish this club had the backbone to do the same thing with Sloane

If Boak does retires we’ll all be envious… and he’s twice the player Sloane was LOL so our decision will look even more gross. Boak does seems like someone you’d want to keep around at a club though

I’m seeing the exact same rhetoric from pear supporters too: “it’s his right to choose when his time’s up”… he’s a champ but he’s literally 35 years old

Everybody wants to be a Pendlebury it seems but it’s just not realistic

Thats some spectacular spin.

Maybe his brother's experience at Port talked him out of it. He has had multiple opportunities to move to Port but he keeps refusing. Why?

Isn't Boak on record saying he wants to play til he's 40?

Yeah, that's not happening.

I thought they are doing the same as us and letting Boak decide but said if you don't think you can play 22 games then you should retire but it'll still be Boak's decision. To play on or not

What like every player that only wants to play in Victoria?

 

[beartoo]

Dixon is a good inclusion but confident the Giants can get the job done.

Dixon is a great inclusion.......for GWS.

Caro has always read from the Port script

 

[MrBarry]

Triple M just reported there’s still over 15,000 tickets unsold for Saturday nights game.

Port fans jumping off the bandwagon in droves.

I remember a couple of weirdos on this board were making hysterical statements a few weeks ago about 'how we were in danger of becoming the less supported club in SA'....

Yeah nah.
