Unpopular Port Adelaide opinion you may have

[Crocodile Dumbdee]

For the first time in my life, the passion for my club is evaporating. Bring back Jack.

For the first time in my life I feel a similar motivation to watch our SANFL matches as our AFL matches. Stacked with talent that might get a chance to develop under a better coach.

So no one then?

It was Swan Districts in 1982. They beat Collingwood in the round of 16 then sent over a reserves/colts team to play Richmond because they were pissed off with the scheduling.

Richmond won by 186 points.

Michael 'Disco' Roach kicked 10 goals in a quarter and a half

Swan Districts could console themselves a couple of months later with the first of a WAFL premiership hat-trick.

That's not unpopular it's factual.

That’s what I would say if I was Warren Tredrea

Peter should've won the Norm in the 2004 GF, that's not unpopular either.

He was ****ing phenomenal that day.

I sort of agree, but then i remember Shaun's game against West Coast, and the one against Collingwood. I personally think Shaun's best was possibly competition best, but Peter produced great performances with far more consistency.

On their respective outputs i'd take Peter over Shaun if i had to pick just one.

P Burgoyne’s worst was worse than S Burgoyne’s worst.

 

[tribey]

Peter is so underrated. From memory, Robbo did an article on indigenous players 4-5 years ago and had him rated lower than Nathan Lovett-Murray.

In the worst possible way, unfortunately.

Bonner cops an incredibly raw deal on this forum and hes nowhere near as bad as a lot of people make him out to be

I agree with this. In fact, coming from the game on Thursday I was extremely confused when I saw him copping so much on the boards. Yes he was quiet, but other than that he was fine. It is as if the mistakes of others are held against him. Bonner was literally holding his structural position and was kicked to 3-4 times at half forward when he shouldn't have been. Somehow that seems to have been blamed on Bonner, but it is 100% the kickers responsibility.

I truly don't understand the hate, and would be shocked if he was dropped this week.

If you can't see that he sweats off contests & is poor defensively I don't know what to tell ya, there's reasons why he gets dropped & at full strength he wont get a look in all he wants is cheap ball.

Yep. Shaun's best was breathtakingly good but it was seldom seen, aside from maybe his '06 season where he somehow found a way to be a consistent midfield performer. Peter couldn't play at that level but was much more consistent.

Kane Cornes should've won the Norm in 2004.

 

[backtozero]

Wanganeen should have won the Norm too.

Yeah I've been enjoying our SANFL games more than the AFL lately.

Peter and Shaun known as midfielders and flashy rebounding backs, but boy they could do a job as small forwards too

Relatively early in his career Shaun was also excellent as a lockdown defender on those small dangerous types who would then hurt you on the rebound.

Yeah they were great up forward.

Chocolate seemed to like breaking players in up forward before shifting them back, ChadCornes was another.

Unfortunately I think Peter got the best of him coached away, recall him in the later years holding on to the ball hesitating as option after option evaporated. Was being positioned as some kind of Quarter back and it just wasn't him.

 

[edgie]

I don't think Chad as a forward was ever just a temporary thing, I think the intention was that that was his position but he was never able to really own it, combined with iffy goal kicking. A FF only managing between 20 - 30 goals a year in a top 4 team with the era's best CHF in front of you meant that a role change was always on the cards and boy was it a good one.

Unfortunately it was also the start of crazy choco thinking he could reinvent the wheel and try it with nearly everyone else.

Lol looking at stats starting with Cornes, and I just seen across 2018 - 2019, out of 29 games, Charlie Dixon only kicked multiple goals on 7 occasions.

7/29.

I don't care how much time he spent in the ruck, that's unacceptable for a majority of the time KPF.

Thank goodness he's found a bit of form recently.
