Review R23: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. Port Adelaide

[Slippery Pete]

Dermott Brereton got it right, for a change. Houston’s bump would have been OK 2 eras ago.

A more interesting discussion is whether people think a bump like that should still be allowed.

Bad example, jordan just came out and shot 45 points anyway..most weeks

He was renowned for laser focus on someone that had bad mouthed him or his team.

Josh Rachele: “Man that Michael Jordan is so… phoney!”

Should definitely be an incoming fine if the AFL's fair dinkum about staging.

 

[Afcprophet]

Players should get a week off for diving

 

[PeterSalt]

Notice Dixon on the list from the MRO for striking Rankine in the first quarter as well - $1875 fine

Hasn't he got a habit of going after the smallest players on the field?

If everyone can do it, why's he renowned?

That shit grinds my gears

I can only imagine what neil balme would have written on the board for the team to do after seeing a port player flop like that

Crouch played pretty damn well. His spot up kicks into the 50 were good.

He was also probably our most aggressive player. Quite lippy with port. I wonder what was driving that. I rarely see him that angry

 

[Scorpus]

Wonder if you’d say the same thing if your teammate trash talked Michael Jordan and then he came out and scored 45 points?

Remember Chad Cornes and his “dream final?” Reckon that didn’t motivate the Crows players to grind Port into dust that night?

You clearly have little understanding of the unlikely places from which athletes and teams are capable of drawing their motivation.

Port Adelaide aren't the Michael Jordan of the AFL lol

That's partly why Rachele's sledge was effective. It was genuinely hurtful and true to the point of not providing motivation. Port aren't MJ, they are a second fiddle loser club and know it.

Did any Port players even try to get stuck into Rachele after he sledged the crowd?

 

[Slippery Pete]

“Shut up you little bitch”

Sounds like spenze

That’s third time lucky tagging him

It’s certainly would get a mention

If you give it out stand up like a man and take it

 

[Floating Doughnut]

He didn’t win the football. Spin it any way you like. He’s got form “not winning” the football.

And that’s being charitable.

It’s short stepping . If people want to see it as flashy footy gone bad then it’s on them. Not lack of skill he has that in spades. Two choices there, straight through or blind turn where your first step must be past the ball.
Seeing him pull up short worries me.

 

[Slippery Pete]

If everyone can do it, why's he renowned?

Rachele sure is eager to find out who can do it.

Going into a GF he tells Dusty Martin he’s got a shit haircut & too many tats. You’d be okay with that, as his coach or teammate?

Just wondering where you draw the line.

He had a satire go at their supporters, not individual players. Do you have your full set of natural teeth lol.

Kane has clearly tried to influence the narrative at 9 over the Houston bump. By claiming it didnt hit him in the head. Unfortunately even the best angles frame by frame show the shoulder landing flush on the chin and jaw. But by running the narrative, Kane is trying to influence the trial decision. No doubt if he only gets two weeks, Kane will claim it.

But the fact is he smashed him in the head, he launched himself in a text book hip and shoulder in an upward motion and Rankine was clearly out before he hit the ground. Anyone claiming such is insulting the game, the concussion rules the integrity. Kane really needs to take a step back here and STFU.

Its no surprise Port Adelaide try and cheap out of the concussion argument. Running the Houston is the victim narrative. He chose to bump, the bump is part of the game, he did nothing wrong.

And hair too!

Dixon is a monkey who does nothing for the game and is a waste of space. A very low intelligent individual.
