Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 18

[JimmyBC]

We were talking about Nathan Buckley and his quarter century commitment to easy money and media profile fuelled mediocrity. Not coaching ability.

I believe I started by saying he could coach.. you drifted off to whereverville.

 

[raman]

Ken and Buckley have coached the longest without a flag currently haven't they?

Your point being?

Norwood absolutely demolished

 

[PAFC66]

Your point being?

I guess thats where we figured the comparisons were coming from.

We might not have won anything but at least our coaching/list management team haven't completely cooked the list like Collingwood. Got about 5 players who are above Sam Gray

He could play too. Was still a miserable failure.

That's true.
Our list managers / recruiting have saved ken.

Trashed us the other week.

Aaron Young and Andrew Moore taking the ex crows Douglas, Clisby and Wigg etc. to the cleaners.

Jumper presentation night at the PJFC. Gil in attendance.

90’s Port influence very strong in this years jumpers.

Picked A Young out of the team list on the footy live app but when I got to A Moore I just started singing like Dean Martin.

How quickly we forget

He wasn't a failure at the PAFC.

That's A Moore ay?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Carlton only 2.10 to Port 1.77.

Gamble irresponsibly.

Clisby didn't play for crows.

Well done on running nose-first into the point.

I do the rolling eyes thing but you bore me.

Freo should have taken up Eskimo Joe's new club song they wrote 10 years ago when they were the club's number 1 ticket holder. Think it went to a members vote.

Better than Birds of Tokyo's Eagles song.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Is Buckley holding his press conference in a ****ing full function room? Sounds like a rowdy room.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Haven't seen clutch Kennedy tonight or Thursday.

Feels like there has been way less betting ads after last week.

Still the crosses to sportsbet etc. But the ads themselves, not so many. Probably half as many.

During the Fox pregame show there was back to back sportsbet ads (including clutch, and then some ****ing office chair basketball). and those Ladbrokes ones with Mark Wahlberg.

But during the quarter breaks, there was definitely a significant decrease.

Didn't catch the pre game. They've just shifted it lol.

I mean, if Mark Wahlberg wasn't a hateable campaigner in the first place those betting adverts push him right over the edge

Starting Moore forward and then refusing to put him back even when the West Coast talls started running riot AND Howe went off injured was probably the biggest act of self sabotage I've ever seen from a football team. Buckley is a dead man walking and I think he knows it.

Yep that was wierd. Bucks one minute is talking philosophically, the next he is raging against cliche thinking from journos.

His comment about ruckmen when Grundy dominated the 2 kids Brisbane played and effectively saying they arent worth anything, but they signed Grundy for 7 years for at least $1mil a year, indicated to me he is losing it and struggling to handle the stress and expectations.

Needs to go play a quick game of tennis to work out this stress.
