A meh type game if there was ever one.

I rather be hyping up other 51's.

One of the best names in sports, and a great of NFL, wore 51 - Dick Butkus - Hall of Fame linebacker for the Chicago Bears. The second u usually gets pronounced as an i.

My nominee is Area 51. Chiefly because of this white-coated jet engine:

Crows by 22. Think they'll blitz us with one good quarter, and the rest of the time they'll go defensive because they know we won't be able to work our way through that. First Showdown in a while that I won't watch though - will be out for dinner.

Same. Kind of forgot it was tonight anyway, but dinner at the Crafers and staying up there ovenight so I can sample many fine ales was 100% more appealing.

We will blitz ourselves with a trademark goalless first quarter.

Been watching Port since the mid sixties never have i ever been so despondent as i have been this last 5 years under hinkely and koch.
Something is pure garbage with these guys at the helm, no incentive and no excitement coming into this showdown simply do not give a hoot.
The best result for a forced change at Alberton is a loss to the cows some might say i dont support the club i just simply do not support the absolute BS that is being delivered from the top!

Yeah I'm getting dinner at Arkhe in Norwood, and staying at the Mayfair in town. Couldn't give a shit about the footy tonight tbh.

Prediction:

(Yes I know he's playing down back)

Fredie is the sub.

I could only think of one other Friday Night double-up on Good Friday in 2019, and sure enough we were one of the two teams shafted that night... how convenient

Gee it's embarrassing listening to Charlie talk these days, he's currently on 5aa.

All the celebs have been dying at 52 this year.

Maybe that's an omen for Ken at the 2nd showdown? (Gettung fired, not dying of a heart attack)

 

[Loyal2Port]

I'm an idiot. Going tonight.

He's a good bloke but he sounds as dopey as Tex Walker tbh.

Last year Good Friday R3 - 2 Vic teams on 7, 2 non Vic on Fox Footy.


The BS argument for years was the Royal Children's Hospital Appeal in Victoria is such a tradition from 1930's and on 7 since 1957, so can't have footy on that day and because of religious reasons, but as soon as AFL says yes, they say stuff the RCHA and we will put the 2 local footy teams on TV.

On what planet is losing two home prelims, the second by >70, an argument in favour of the club?

Was a cringe worthy interview and that's being polite, rowey cupping his balls and Timmy being careful not to say anything negative

That interview was triggering. Basically saying supporters can either support us or pi$$ off.

Saying we should be grateful about the last 2 prelims. Saying they don't know how to get to the next level but they're trying.

So he's admitting they are literally clueless - and it's showing on the field.

If it wasn't coming out of his mouth, I could've sworn it was Hinkley speaking.

I legit have something that clashes with it, so I'll be watching maybe glimpses at most.

I am in iso due to children having Covid. I have run out of wine too!

Tells me the players don't actually give a stuff about success. Or he doesn't anyway. He's happy getting paid big bucks and tinkering around on cars. Doesn't really need to win.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Lose and the pressure has to be mounting on Hinkley.

He can gtfo. Too many mediocre players accepting mediocrity

Excellent. I will pi$& off with my money too

There in lies the problem.

 

[chiwigi]

Palpatine out!

At least the Bunnies are playing so I can flick over to that when we trot out our 'zero goal first quarter' special

The parallels between the Bunnies and Port are horrifying, one is rarely an escape from the other .

I'm an idiot. Going tonight.

Watch out for the crows ferels
