Unpopular Port Adelaide opinion you may have

[GremioPower]

GremioPower I love your input mate, but with this one, the geographical distance is showing. The Port-crows history is complex and living it in close proximity helps understand it.

Please don't see this as "what do you know?" type post, you are entitled to your opinions, but your view is clearly from outside and afar on this specific topic.

I know. It’s both an advantage and a disadvantage. I’m not arguing I’m right. I’m presenting a different perspective.

ozph1870 just said: “it’s not our call to make.” Even better. We can take a difficult position without losing much, if anything.

We should be able to do sacrifices. Perhaps, we must make this one. We could even say that “the Crows are even authorized to use OUR chevrons.” No mention to the state jumper.

Let others fight this fight.

They tried to use the state guernsey about 5 years ago. They haven’t done it since nor will they do it again.

The other thing you might be missing here GremioPower is that unlike national soccer shirts we have never (as far as I know) been able to buy replica state jumpers like you can buy the national soccer shirt of Brazil or England or Australia or anywhere.

They are considered sacred as in to get one you have to earn one. even in the days of SOO you couldn’t buy one. Victorian and WA jumper are the same. The baggy green cap of the Australian cricket team is the same.

Not sure if this has been pointed out to you.

Didn't the Weagles wear a WA SoO guernsey for heritage round a few years ago?

2007 from memory.

So only the SA and Vic ones are special is what you are saying?

I think I'm saying the Crows are a Cunno's Eagles.

Unpopular opinion: if we called it 'blue' instead of 'teal' there would be less problems with the colour.

I prefer the argument that the prison bars are really 'ebony' and 'ivory'.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

This team does not deserve, and has not earnt the right, to wear the prison bar Guernsey.

 

[Imhotep]

Charlie Dixon is the most overrated player in the history of our club, because he's huge with tats and a beard he's our saviour.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Dixon isn’t playing well but tonight wasn’t his fault

Nothing un-popular about that, tonights effort was insulting.

For all the people saying bars or nothing be prepared for displays like tonight. They’re not a superman cape.

I think it’s also because he looks angry all the time

 

[bomberclifford]

We’re not very good.

 

[Doctor Feel]

We’re not very good.

I haven't seen anything this year to suggest otherwise. Even the Richmond game was low quality skills wise.

We aren't damaging and we struggle to open games up. Top 8 sure, premiership not even close.

Injuries becoming a factor but still.

I mean, we do have a thing with guys with beards at this club, regardless of actual output.

I don't think Dixon is heaps overrated but boy does he drop a shitload of marks that he gets his hands to. I have no idea if it's a technique issue or what but it drives me insane.

Its a combo poor technique and poor vision, especially during night time where he misjudges too many balls.

I have stated calling him night vision charlie when he plays night games as I know he will struggle in these games.

Go back and look at the video of games where he has taken most of his marks, especially those one handers and there are a lot more during the day time than night time.

Marshall dropped multiple uncontested (no one buffetting him) marks last night. So infuriating.

Why would you not call it what it is?

 

[simba_]

Yeah if we only called it Turquoise we woulda won 10 flags
