Game Day The bounce back - Power vs Crows

[hey shorty]

Port are absolutely not a top four side in quality lol

They'll end up there due to fixturing

 

[WetCrow1991]

Hinkley , Scott, Fagan, Goodwin, Beveridge, Longmire are or were all rookie coaches.
Last years premiership coach was also coaching at his first club.

And cop top teams who have injuries

 

[DJ75]

.... can they dock us the 4 points?

I'm ok with that

 

[Lawrst]

Its good the rest of the AFL are finally understanding who port really are.

Not that port understand who they really are.

 

[MrBarry]

Boak is in pretty good nick since giving up the captaincy.

You'd have to pay me to watch Boak play

Disappointing seeing our structure fall over.

Happy with the tackling pressure.

2020 Tex is back.

They didnt................

 

[CrowEater888]

Beaten by a better team, but not a great team.

The guernsey stunt was absolutely sickening. I hope the AFL makes them pay for such hubris.

 

[Concussion test]

What's with our club and the sub selection.
The latest: McPherson has been in shocking form so we drop him, but still select him as the sub.
He gets subbed on and is still in shocking form. What am I missing?

We've got injuries.
Don't underestimate how much we miss duursma and Butters

Why was it sickening? Why does it even concern your club? What's wrong with honouring the history (a small gesture) that elevated us to the AFL? Seriously? I feel like for some crows fans this bothers them more than their sides current predicament and for the life of me I can't workout why...

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

If we ever look like winning a game we should throw on Port Magpies prison bar guernseys at three quarter time

You look stupid

I think its a publicity stunt more than 'honouring your history' - its a marketing gimmick

If it was honouring your history the team would do it after every match

Uhh.. why? It seems like most criticism of port wanting to wear the PBs occasionally consists of making up arbitrary rules and then calling out the club for not following them.

 

[Bernie L]

Was an ok country footy player in my day! A lot better tennis player and swimmer tho.

Same, what league?

Just responding to the original poster

Thanks for playing

You do know they’re not prison bars, right? It represents a wharf and the pylons.

It’s always been more about marketing than “heritage”. They’re not prison bars, they’re pylons. You started in 1997, not 1870. The SANFL premierships were won by a different entity, not the existing club.

But sure. Heritage away.

Do you think them being wharf pylons will come as news to a single port fan? Literally every single person who is aware of that jumper knows this. Yes “Prison bars” is a colloquialism, honestly what is your point?

Also, what is meant by a “different entity”?

There seems to be this chorus online, at least, reacting to the Gurnsey switch as just a bit petty.

So every Port supporter knows they’re pylons but still calls them prison bars to support the myth of what a bunch of rugged outlaw types you are. Got it.

All part of the myth making behind Port Power. Different entity? The AFL Port club was incorporated as a company in 1996. A separate legal entity. Not the SANFL Port Magpies founded in 1870.

The SANFL flags were won by a different organization. The club known as the Power has only existed since 1996 and has won one flag.

So again, blurring the edges to create this myth of prison bar-wearing, long established club as your “heritage” when in fact it’s just a marketing exercise.

You’re an AFL manufactured club just like the Crows, except younger and with less premierships.

No we wouldn't. We love our current Guernsey. It's purely because of the request that was denied. The fans wanted it. Get over it . It has nothing to do with your club.
