Not sure why Darcy was whining about text book tackle, HTB every day of the week.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

That would have been deliberate against us every time in the Showdown.

 

[JHF1870]

Why does Rayner still get so much hype, he's such a nothing player

Rayner is a superstar. McLuggage is the nothing player. We should trade for him

29 of the last 30 H&A games at the GABBA the Brions have won.

It's no Portress

Last 30 (H&A)

Brisbane @ Gabba: 29-1
Geelong @ Kardinia: 25-5
WCE @ Optus: 21-9
GWS @ GIANTS Stad: 21-9
Port @ AO: 19-11
Fremantle @ Optus: 17-13
Sydney @ SCG: 16-14
Adelaide @ AO: 10-20
Gold Coast @ Metricon: 9-20-1

 

[Duck Farmer]

So AO is basically 29-31 over the last 60 H&A games.

Gotta be the least intimidating venue for opposition teams in the league.

Playing badly with stats here. Rolling 2 teams figs together to make that argument is dodgy. Factually we are 19-11 hence 58% win rate at home. That in it self is bad enuf without skewing results further.

Port: 23-25 in AO night games (2014-2022)

It’s comical how terrible that record is, and how nobody in the media has shone a light on it ever.

19-11 in two seasons where we finished 1st and 2nd.

****ing spud coach doesn’t even know how to play his home ground.

Cant argue with that, something weird about that, we go to crap at night, its ripe for someone to do a big footy analysis.


Also think that in regards to changes in the future , we get game plan adjustments that utilise lessons from Geelong and Melbourne in regards to how that play and setup for narrow grounds. GMBH is narrow and Geelong play it very well. Melb luv Adelaide oval and set up well when playing their.

Not only does nobody ever mention it, we actually stand accused of having been advantaged in seasons 2020 and 2021 because we played more home games than the Victorian teams. Genuine lol.

"But but it's only the 4th Rd. Don't you remember 2012"... said with furrowed brows of disbelief.

Nek minnit thru' clenched teeth "you ungrateful campaigners".

 

[Bay62]

lol, a song by UB40. Port Adelaide supporter stereotype prevails.

Actually it was written by and a hit for Neil Diamond. UB40 did a cover of it many years later.

So more of a Crows stereotype..

 

[Bay62]

They dropped shoenberg as well.. probably 2 of their better players I would have thought.

Replaced them with the big guns McAdam and berry

Schoenberg has been poor lately, really needs a run in the twos. Berry has been tearing up the SANFL, deserves his chance.

Rowe a bit surprising, he’s not great but he’s a natural footballer who wasn’t our worst last week. McAdam, needs to put in a big one, his x-factor has been fading over the past year and others may have gone past him. He and Fogarty are in a similar position

Dixon is blind as a bat at night so bomb it to Charlie doesn't work. Ken never had a plan B.

Rowe's too slow he's an easy run off for a defender, Nicks wouldn't like that he likes pressure forwards I expect Rowe will yoyo in & out until they cut him when they have better options.

The absolute state of the afl media

Who could have guessed that jobs for the boys would lead to people who have nothing insightful to offer other than loud noises slaps on the back and immature behaviour.

 

[chiwigi]

It’s probably for international audience. I like it!

International for the AFL is Mildura!

 

[powermacs]

Mcadam had an x factor?

Those numbers enforce what I have always believed.
We play better in day games than night.
I also believe our goal kicking is better in day games than night and that’s with no stats to back it up.
