Nankervis re-signed with Richmond. I need a moment to myself

?

 

[Dylan8]

Hey guys I made a sideproject webapp for finding flights to see Port play interstate. Tell me what to improve.

FootyFlights.com.au (v1)

It's not the best thing you'll see this year but I'm looking for early feedback to make the next version better.

This is handy. Well done.

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

In other news Taylor Walker last seen at home trying to work out which foot to put into the moonboot...

Isn’t it supposed to go on his face ?

 

[RossFC]

I'm a fan of his.

Ross has been stalking Nankervis for 3 years or so. So far, it hasn't convinced him to come to Port.

At least I've got my buddy Doogie Howard to support.

Best news

Awesome news!. now the flog can join the dinosaurs at crocmedia.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Last time I flew Tiger (2017) they moved the gate three times and didn't notify anyone 66.6% of the time.

They're dead to me. Life ban.

How the bloke `won ' AFL captain of the year two years in a row just about defies belief, you really do have to wonder if those who voted for Tex were taking the p*ss.

Remember when one of the Lonie's won toughest player in the AFL......

And Cameron Ling was voted sexiest player

I think there is a pattern there.

 

[LK Metro]

Next can be Ling please.

I’ve liked that, thinking yeah, farking Ling off would be great - then I remembered that ambassador / campaigner Ricciuto needs farking off first...

And then logic kicked in - “why not both”...

Cameron Ling voted sexiest player .. oh right ...have to down another wee Dewar's Whisky to see if I am reading this right..

Once you monetise this by receiving a kickback every time someone buys a flight you should hire the Trivago lass to go through the same process she did in those particular ads, ie. from looking like a mum who's about to paint "upcycled" crate-based outdoor furniture, to a classy dame who wouldn't look out of place riding a one-gear bicycle down the Champs-Élysées

Tex Walker to be voted 2018 Most Symmetrical Ears

Tex Walker to be voted 2018 Most Symmetrical Ears

"Hey Taylor - where's your mate Noddy?"

 

[GremioPower]

Just watched the first quarter of our 2017 opening game. Two plays, specifically, have caught my attention.

SPP's goal began in our D50. We did the transition in full speed, handballing through Sydney's players as if they were street cones, until the ball was kicked to a wide-open SPP inside the O50. Perfect execution.

The other play, Sydney had the ball in their D50. We went on it like the plague. Sydney started to hand the ball backwards, while our pressure went on. They eventually were able to kick the ball away, but only after I thought a rush behind was inevitable. We pushed them 30-40m back.

Great footy!

Those plays (in our first game of the season, when a team is supposed to struggle playing by heart) reminded me of what you said about the kind of footy we want to play. It is as lethal as beautiful.

I have the impression that kicking the ball for contested marks is a lazy play. I didn't like when we did it. We play better when we try to find open men.

 

[Byrons Firen]

We play better when we try to find open men.

...and our players run to space to create the option. Too often I'm yelling at the game "give him something Port".
Our player with ball is looking for options but sees/gets nothing so bombs it to a contest or hugs the boundary.
When the good sides 'bottle' us up Ken reaches for the coke.

the Trivago lass is my favourite thing on tv at the moment

She’s my future girlfriend, she just doesn’t know it yet

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

She’s my future girlfriend, she just doesn’t know it yet

She's my future mistress. You keep a house and security for her, I'll keep her happy.

 

[Sleezy]

And the call me sleezy...

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Roy Laird is having none of this fast footy stuff lol you go big dog

 

[Stryke]

Tiger are great, until they aren't and it completely ruins your plans. If you kinda sorta want to fly, but don't HAVE to then they are borderline. Never again for me though.

 

[CharlieKelly]

Tiger sucks! Two bad experiences with them in the past, now I work for a rival airline and never have to fly with them ever again.

And f**k Aerocare too, the outsourced company that does their baggage handling

 

[edgie]

I flew tiger once. It was fine. Better than the REX flight before where I asked for a beer and the attendant said 'we don't keep alcohol for the 4am flight... No one really wants to drink in these hours...'

I wanted to drink! I had half an hour to kill! Get to the airport and then the alehouse wasn't even open! Like shit, I had fighters to coach, how am I supposed to be a coach of athletes if I couldn't be Billy Bob from Bad News Bears?

Ex-Power star knew 'the writing was on the wall'
WESTERN Bulldogs recruit Jackson Trengove knew his nine-year career at Port Adelaide was over when he wasn't selected for the club's elimination final loss to West Coast.
When Trengove reflects on Port's heartbreaking finals exit last September, the key defender feels he could have made a difference, with Eagles tall forwards Josh Kennedy, Jack Darling and Drew Petrie combing for eight goals in the two-point extra-time loss.
