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

[arrowman]

If head was down over ball would have been free kick but this was a marking contest.

It wasn't a marking contest, but the irony is that if it was, it would have been a free for front on contact.

 

[arrowman]

If the umpires genuinely believe a shirt front is legal (unless high contact) the AFL needs to step in.

 

[GreyCrow]

What a complete waste of police resources, especially more so given in all probability the Port fan instigated the incident to begin with.

Its not like he stood there and Crouch knocked his hat off, "allegedly" too. Its not caught on camera either.

''get back behind the fence clown''

 

[GROTTO]

Penbo saying what everyone's thinking. Love this!

Im giving short odds that this Port thug has a criminal record.

Exactly my thought and was waiting for Gerard Whateley to ask him that but didn’t.

”. It absolutely backfired on that occasion but Ken Hinkley definitely has a track record of having his players premeditate physical attacks on opposition players. Rankine won’t be the last victim with Hinkley cowardly watching on from the bench.

They are all street thugs.

Premiership coach Paul Roos said he was left flabbergasted by Ken Hinkley’s “bizarre” pre-game comments, adding the Port Adelaide coach’s declaration to “terrorise” Lion Lachie Neale made him feel uncomfortable.​

This is a pattern of behaviour that predates their existence in the AFL with Granger and Cornes in the 80s.

 

[George Kramer]

You were the one that brought Tex into it!


I’m saying it’s not irrelevant as Craigy will probably be the reason Tex misses 300 by a few games.

WaynesWorld19 what have I constantly said about your comprehension skills? You either need to slow down or seek assistance

The Advertiser is suggesting they now have "vision" of the Mrouch incident?

Can someone on here verify this?

Can't believe port are appealing. No ownership, pure delusion.

 

[CrowBloke]

2008, he spent the entire year in the 2s.
There was anguish, he ended the year on more than 50 goals, including 6 in a final.

OK, thanks for the clarification.

Craigy needed him to learn to "keep his opponent boundary side".

I'm not sure what that means --- "boundary side"? Why?
Get in front of your opponent, or side-on, I understand

I don't care about 300 games, though it'd be awesome, I care about being robbed of watching more Tex games.

My points about injury/suspension still stand.
Again with respect, I'm curious ... did you think that at the time? Or looking back through 2024 eyes?

I've followed the crows keenly since their inception, which has helped me to loathe PA just that little bit more, btw .
I don't remember any hubbub about Walker being in the 2's
BUT
maybe I wasn't paying attention.

Quality Tom

 

[CrowBloke]

Never claimed it was vindictive or deliberate.

Yes, and I agree.
It was my point, not yours; didn't mean to imply otherwise.

I only responded to the assertion that there are no negative effect on his career from not playing him early, which is just not true.

Fair enough .

I can almost picture this guy getting embarrassed, worked up, and encouraged to go to the police by those around him to save his ego.

 

[CrowBloke]

That's probably what the cop had to say when it was reported by the traumatised PA flog:
"He knocked your cap off??? (faux outrage/concern).
No cap?"

 

[GROTTO]

I can almost picture this guy getting embarrassed, worked up, and encouraged to go to the police by those around him to save his ego.

Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks has refused to divulge what he said to Port Adelaide rival Ken Hinkley in the aftermath of last Saturday’s fiery Showdown and declared midfielder Matt Crouch had the club’s “full support” amid a police investigation into a post-match interaction with a fan.

Classic little brother behaviour. Antagonize endlessly and then go crying to Mum when you get thumped.

It's Mark Williams reincarnated, holding up his tie after the 2004 GF like a total goose:

I wish he'd held it up until he passed out, the twerp.

I saw this image on Fox Footy after the siren.

Nicks looks ready to throw arms. Kenny would have been shaking.

Here's the footage.

I don't know, if anyone here has ever flicked the hat of a friend, a brother, a cousin or even a stranger... do the right thing and turn yourself in to police now.

So, they've beat it up into an "incident" now, have they? Even more hilarious.

We should also be talking about the haircut lurking underneath that hat.

No wonder he was annoyed it got knocked off.

The hat was purchased with proceeds from the Human Fund.

Strategy isn't our Nicks' strong point.
