Unpopular Port Adelaide opinion you may have

[PatientMental]

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.

More evidence to say he's at best a resting ruckman being played as a ff.

More evidence to say he's at best a resting ruckman being played as a ff.

...and that he's better at both those roles than Ladhams is currently.

Byron should have won the Norm Smith..

Been saying that for awhile also

Primus better than Boak

Absolu... Hang on a second.

 

[Valentino]

I was told to come here because I think we can win the flag this year. Is there a Malcolm anywhere in here?

Primus better than Boak

AFL Only

1. Tredrea
2. Gray
3. Boak

They’re the three that have it all above everyone else (inc. Wanganeen who played half his career elsewhere).

Longevity, accolades, the numbers.

The only other player who ticks all three boxes is Kane Cornes, but even at his best he was never as consistently indispensable or valuable as the others were/are.

Years	Club	Games (Goals)
1991–1996	Essendon	127 (64)
1997–2006	Port Adelaide	173 (138)

Significantly more forus, doesn’t include his magpie games either.

his match winning ability beats Boak IMo

Mitch Full Forward Todd CHF and Dixon the tall marking target works well. The midfielders need to spread their love more

P. Burgoyne and Chadbro are both above Boak and will be unless Travis wins a flag. Wanganeen too.

Travis has longevity and captaincy in his favour IMO.

 

[JimmyBC]

In the grand scheme of things you have to take longevity, AA's etc into the mix but if I'm being honest there's probably half a dozen blokes I'd pick in the midfield before Boak from our AFL history.

 

[Del165198]

primus was incredibly dominant for a period of time but he doesn't have longevity on his side. then they changed the rules because he was too strong for the other ruckmen. lo and behold now you can grab it out of the ruck again. yay afl!

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Butters
Tredrea
Wanganeen

Although on occasions I do agree we get hard done by with umpiring (such as the Collingwood game), I think the reason we are negative on the free kick count is because we are sloppy and lazy with tackles

Are we actually negative historically once you remove wet toast?

We play a lot of dumb undisciplined football and it seems like it is not being addressed in any way shape or form.

 

[Winestoppable]

If Mitch Georgiades continues to take "almost marks" like he has been this year, I fear it will be be a feature of his game and we'll have another Charlie Dixon on our hands.

I've got an opinion that might not be too popular with some kbw. How about we lay off criticizing these young kids who have just started on their AFL journeys. Give them some time to develop. I swear some posts are written by single digit IQ numpties

 

[Papa G]

I think Karl Amon's improvement has been overhyped. Specifically, I think his kicking, which was his only weapon when he first came on the scene, has been really poor this year.

We seriously undervalue Kane Cornes's career

If he had retired at the end of 2014,
OR played through to the end of 2015,
OR stuck at being a fireman..

Then the bitter taste in the mouth would probably not exist and he would be judged more fairly.

We were one kick off a grand final in 2014, then in 2015 he (with kens help) selfishly railroaded our season and any flag chance we might have had. Screwed over his teammates as well as the club.

I don't care who it is, retiring a quarter of the way through the year with the only intention to reach an individual milestone is an incredibly selfish act and deserves to be ridiculed. The fact that we were one kick away from the GF the year before and needed some real leadership to right the ship makes it even worse.
