I never knew it was possible to lose % when you win. Can any of you smart footy people explain for me?

If your winning margin percentage is less than your average for the year so far, then your average will come down. Happens every time.

Did anyone else find it strange that Schulz was in the ruck at one stage, on the wing?

No.

Sacred Heart ftw

What is it with Richmond and North supporters thinking there is a rivalry between us? Its all one way guys, we don't think about your clubs at all.

The only thing I can think of is that the Norf supporters wanted us to lose because if there was another upset it would take the spotlight of their not-so-surprising loss to Carlton. As for Richmond..... we gave them Chaplin.

Lobbe looks tired for me.

Yep - was at the game and thought Jamar monstered him all day. Hope the week off helps him bounce back.

Chaplin gave them a party boy, stick it up em moment last week = Tiger legend for life.

Sacred Heart ftw

Addendum: in all seriousness it does concern me a bit that Kane is clearly heading for a media career post-footy.

 

[Port81]

Honestly though, we have turned into a very ordinary side the last month+

 

[chiwigi]

Why the F#*$k can't people spell Carlile right on this board? He's been around for years!!!

Carlysle.

 

[Hartletts Heroes]

One positive for me today was backing the hoff to kick most goals... was paying something like $15-$19

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Yes we have. Sadly it is just our early season form keeping us in the hunt. We are miles off - hopefully after the break we see some improvement

PORT Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley admits his team again has to learn how to deflect pressure after surviving a scare from Melbourne while sending off former captain Dom Cassisi at Adelaide Oval yesterday.
And while the three-point win that broke the Power’s three-game losing streak was not enough
to give Port a return to the AFL top four on percentage, there will be much debate on the free kick for high contact in a marking contest that handed Power forward Chad Wingard a shot at goal after the third-quarter siren.
“I think it was a free kick,” Hinkley said. “It looked like he was hit front on — that’s the rule. The angle he was put on (for his kick) was tough.”

Yowser! Saw SupportMe in his wheelchair on the bridge on the way out afterwards. I never really noticed the slight upward incline on the southern side until then. I offered to give him a little push but he declined saying he was still moving better than our team.

Cheers mate. Not a great day for the boys.

If we play like that against the Swans in three weeks it'll be a massacre.

Carlysle.

At the game, I counted at least 5 shots at goal which Melbin got from free kicks, 4 of which were unwarranted or debateable. Amazed that anyone could say that we got a ride.

We got the win but boy has Ken got problems!

Annoys me more that noone can get Trengove's name right, on radio and TV especially.

Umpires gave us a ride wtf, umpy number 6 needs a police escort out of adelaide oval

Dean Margetts is a massive campaigner, why is it always the most experienced umpire that likes to over officiate one way when we play Vic teams?

Also not sure why everyone's saying we got an armchair ride with free kicks, they made it pretty easy for the Dees to counter attack when they were gifted about 8 soft ones in our heavily congested forward 50.

 

[Powerstufff]

I wish. We are bottom 4 standard at present.

 

[Ant Bear]

The game starts so early I figured by the time I dragged myself out of bed in the morning and had breakfast it would be time to go. Can't let my fanbase down... besides nobody wants to do gameday threads unless it's against top 4 teams.

Ford Fairlane 's fanbase!

You cannot be serious.

 

[ab56452001]

lol @ Ebert in our best. 50%DE (28% at one stage I heard).

Yes I picked that up aswell , who on earth put his name in there ?

 

[LFC2010]

Absolutely spot on!!

Why was N Jones awarded a free after R Gray missed from his set shot?
Apparently we can't even touch our opponents other wise it's a free! yet B Vince can throw elbows at us and not get a 50m?

L Dunn also needs to harden the fk up, that should never ever be a free kick, If Schulz gets a week for that look out AFL!

Same could be said re N Jones, staying down after P Stewart laid a legal hip and shoulder, don't put a head in places it shouldn't be.

Also how loud was that POWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWER chant when we hit the front after Schulz's goal... Not bad for a 38k crowd.
