What if I told you that what is said on a forum in the dark corner of the internet has absolutely no bearing on what happens onfield

YES IT DOES! GET ON THE TRADE BOARD

 

[philthy05]

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

Rubbish.

How flexible is Harris Andrews? How many positions does he play?

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a more inaccurate statement than “to play afl at the highest level you need to be flexible and adaptable”

Don't worry I'm sure we'll wheel out his corpse next weekend.

 

[gbear]

Don't worry I'm sure we'll wheel out his corpse next weekend.

Guaranteed.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Don't worry I'm sure we'll wheel out his corpse next weekend.

Then off to the greyhound pit.

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.

It's a tough board and a mod has to lose...

 

[HighBudget]

Train the house down for this one I reckon, If we win then do the same for the next and so on and so forth, No more ****ing around. Seriously though do our boys even train at all? Doesn’t seem like it, They should do skill based training everyday from now to the end of our season

 

[PowerLil]

Positive vibes only? What are we, People's Republic of China?

 

[Festerz]

I love my footy and Port and we go to every home game.

Just a month ago Port were giving away general admin tickets to the Giants game.

And now the AFL want me to pay $96 plus booking fee (=$104) to watch my team play that same team again...for a game that is broadcast live on FTA...when next to no-one from the AFL created and owned GWS will be attending?

The atmosphere at a game is a critical part of the 'product' that the AFL has sold to Channel 7/Foxtel to get the huge $$ that support the financial excesses of the AFL.

And the Saturday Night prime time finals atmosphere at Adelaide Oval is solely reliant on Port fans showing up. For that role Port fans get slugged >$100. They are taking us as mugs.

F.O. AFL.

(But I'll still be going - yep, I'm a mug).

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Funny last weekend I had no confidence at all this weekend I'm really confident ...

**** me

 

[Doctor Feel]

$100 bucks and you wont even get to see Dixon make a mean face at someone! What are we even paying for!

 

[Schulzenfest]

I'm going mostly to say goodbye to Adelaide Oval, because I don't think I'll be back there for a while. Next year I'm not sure I'd go to a game if I was being paid $100 to show up.

 

[HighBudget]

IMO I think what this team really needs is to win a tight and intense game, Hopefully this upcoming game provides that. Flogging GWS will do nothing for this group, we need a precursor to the Collingwood game to get our players minds back in the right place

 

[Drunk_off_R0zee]

I know we’re all sick of the same sh!t and are pretty flat right now but I don’t subscribe to the theory that if we get past GWS then Collingwood winning is a forgone conclusion.

Plenty of results in history have gone the other way before.

Gws v dogs 2016
Rich v Coll 2018
Coll v gws 2019
Port v rich 2020
Port v dogs 2021

If we play how we played Collingwood last time we’d be a chance (assuming we win Saturday night).

 

[PortPortPort]

The title of this thread sucks.

Sorry not sorry if I'm not giving positive vibes.

This is Ken Hinkley's Port Adelaide, though, so it is a foregone conclusion.

And you get a randomly allocated seat instead of being at least near where you've chosen to spend every regular game.

 

[JayPea14]

McEntee, Duursma, Finlayson all in the bin - had absolute stinkers. Marshall borderline - his misses killed the the ability for the team to get any momentum and set the tone

 

[theouthouse]

Bit less overcoaching, and give the players a bit more of a leash to play their natural game, were far to defensively minded against Brisbane.

 

[MaxPowa]

We'll win by 40.

 

[Alyx]

Hear me out.

I think we should sack Hinkley.

 

[JimmyBC]

We'll win by 40.

I think we'll manufacture a win and then get thumped by Collingwood.
