Irony is dead, didn’t you hear?

I had a good laugh at dunderclod falling for the thread title as well

Let’s shuffle deck chairs on the Titanic when the iceberg has already hit, Jack came in his pants while sketching Rose and she ran back to Billy Zane, a tsunami is coming because an asteroid hit the mid-Atlantic, and the heat death of the universe is following a couple of minutes behind.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Not going. Went to a final a couple of years ago and have seen hinkleys finals attitude first hand.

Unless GWS can’t be ****ed - Port won’t be able to handle the intensity.

Probably a good thing - can you imagine Ken sashaying into the MCG, wide grin (mission accomplished vibes) - just before he sends his boys into be humiliated

 

[El Zorro]

It's pretty amazing that people haven't picked up the very obvious pisstake that is the thread title change. Last night must've fried youse brains.

"pisstake". Sure.

Lol if Hinkley had just picked pasini ducking once in the past 2 years, just once in the midst of most of our tall defenders sucking balls and Hinkley instead blooding flanker #37478..


Now there’s no chance they pick pasini to play in a final and odds are we roll into a game v gws with a single key defender

To be honest it might be worth moving Burton to a key position anyway. Watching him watching smalls run rings around him last night was embarrassing. Even you just watch the highlights and you can see several moments where he was caught ball watching, and/or had his man just run on through and past him with a few handballs.

 

[Coobk001]

Anyone in for Finlayson. Guys been a joke the second half of the year and clearly has other stuff going on and doesn’t want to be there. Get him out.

Mcentee needs to go but we know that won’t happen.

And then we have no one else so may as well just play short.

It's where having an injury to someone like Georgiades has actually hurt us.

We've been significantly impacted this year, not just in terms of number, but in positions. Clurey and Jonas as shit as they are would at least be nice to have in the shed ready to go. Same with Georgiades and Dixon.

 

[stewie griffen]

Who played on Toby last time out?

 

[stewie griffen]

Last game against them is pretty much the blueprint

Wines, Butters, rozee, jhf all had at least 27 touches

Rioli, jez, lord, Todd all kicked goals

 

[JimmyBC]

Can't wait to see Chuck's pain killer induced reanimated peg leg last for about 5 minutes.

Funeral Friday

 

[Interstater]

I just hope WGT is on 5aa on Monday.

I'd like the perspective of someone that doesn't know anything about the club.

We are beyond untenable now.
Its unthirteenable.

 

[pastmyprimus]

McEntee’s leg could fall off and Hinkley would still pick him. I’d put my house on his selection for next week

No

We’re in this mess with burton cause we tried moving him around to key defender and forward a bunch and took a very settled reliable defender and messed him around.


He should never ever be moved again.

We need to pick a proper structure in defence and stick to it, even when we lose players


The adherence to that structure in the forward line is arguably the best thing to happen to our team in the past several years and the only thing that’s made it tolerable outside of rozee butters jhf.

Haha sorry drcollossimo mate looks like those trollish mods did me in again lol

He might have to get back off his mum then sell the new TV he won soon

 

[afl2004]

Hayes had his worst game of all time and unlikely to do it again so I would pick him.

our win/loss record without him in the 2nd half of the year and in general is terrible

In :Hayes, fantasia,Bonner ,pasini

Out:Finlayson, mcntee, McKenzie(injury) and boak

Disagree. To play AFL at the highest level you need to be flexible and adaptable. Players get moved around all the time yet they don't stink it up in this fashion. Could you imagine a team coaches by Jack Cahill coming up with the excuses we are seeing/have seen. We would have selection issues because there would be a bunch of players out the door already

What i want

I did I don't recommend it.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Is PAFC your club or not ? if it is then throwing your toys out of the bassinet has to stop and we have to man up and take what comes after exhausting our best efforts on field. Get behind PAFC or get out of the way you are part of the solution, don't be part of the problem, have your vent, then pull up your socks and get ready for the next battle.

What if the solution is to gut the club from top to bottom?
