To the Port board!

Crows playing good footy. Nicks been there about same time as Longmuir, maybe a year less. Longmuir not so much

When did Nicks make finals?

 

[poshman]

To the Port board!

This is funny until I think that this must have been everyone coming to read ours for the last fortnight. And, then it is funny again. To the Port board!

 

[Lach72]

Rankine: 4 goals
Thilthoroe 5 straight
Pedlar 3:1
Rachele 1.1 and 18 disposals

 

[Spirit Level]

When was the last time we had a derby this good

Nicks has been coaching as long as Longmuir.

2006 maybe.

 

[gaskin]

The day Pav outscored those shit campaigners.

 

[fnerd]

Rankine, Rachele and Thilthorpe is going to be some forward line for years.


* I wanted Rachele so bad

You can add Fogarty to that mix .

Interesting to see pedlar start to show his talent .
From memory apparently wallsy was very keen but crows got in first .
Just another indicator He really does know talent .
Which makes our reluctance to draft fwds with first rounders all the more frustrating

 

[Purpletown]

The showdown was great footy from beginning to end, High scoring, high pressure and great skills too.

Both those sides will embarrase us.

 

[Purple Jesus]

See my sig. Haven’t changed it since then.

Serong SO RIGHT!!

 

[Midnite65]

Yep perfect analogy. It just sucks the life out of you knowing what you're up against when they start writing the scripts at AFL House for their "fairytale" team of the year.

Its going to be hard to watch if its the Pies vs the Blues, could be 40 frees each way.

 

[Midnite65]

Essendon challenge - Ross is on the laptop and phone getting s**t done. Saints then boot 4.

Haven't ever seen JLo on the laptop

How much did he spend on the laptop in the box at Freo though? All he ever did was chew pens and eat lollies.

 

[sumavich]

Nicks has been coaching as long as Longmuir.

Exactly, he’s taken 1 year longer, but they are on the right track. Our bloke not so much imo

 

[BStaff17]

Kane Cornes quiet on twitter tonight.

Doesn't mind being a smart arse when it suits


But can't cop it when Port shit the bed

 

[BStaff17]

All this talk about Adelaide over taking us they have won 1 ****ing game.

Get back to me when they win a final and see if they are ahead of us then.

 

[estibador]

Nicks has finished 18th, 15th and 14th in his 3 seasons. And lost 2 of 3 games this season.

I'd hate to think how you'd judge 'our bloke' if that was his record given that him finishing 5th and winning a final apparently isn't as good as the above.

They just won their first game against an opponent they beat last year.

Like, look, I get the reservations as it stands but duck me if the majority around here shouldn’t be asking goldfish for memory tips.

Esti don't argue with Suma, everyone knows how much better we'd be doing with the great carrot grower and packer as our coach... /s

left, $80 says Joshie is Port head coach (at least interim) by round 20.

I was totally over Ross by the time he left. Glad to see the back of him, but credit to the old, sexually inappropriate prick, he learned something when he was out of the game. He said in the preseason that the saints game plan was devised by the assistants and he’s just gone in and tweaked it. And that it was something he had to learn.
