So based upon the crows second halves recently, anything less than a 10 goal win to the blues from here is a failure?!

Go Tigers

Its like Christmas Eve here.... everyone excitedly waiting to see what the fat man delivers in a few hours!

Shower up A Team... you’ve done enough, we’ve for it from here!

Port win, crows win, coupled with a Geelong, hawthorn and Essendon loss.... the perfect storm for silence on SaFooty!

He might, but he does raise a couple of interesting points and questions though.

Get the punters on in the morning or send me the tickets for the box, up to you mate. Up to you.

or if it's raining don't go. Give me your box tickets and me and my girls can stay dry in comfort 8)

you've got tits?

Have you read the way he posts?

Well yeh, but i didnt want to assume... was looking for some evidence first.

That, and in years past we have gotten away with poor leg speed with quick ball movement. Now we don't have either and the forwards are all starved as the oppo gets numbers back.

It was no coincidence that Eddie and JJ got so many goals 10-20m out. They had the opportunity as the ball came in that quickly and deep they got separation from the one on one.

Big changes needed.

Sorry but your entry is too late.

Last week's fishing comp is closed.

However, please feel free to throw some random bait on the Crows thread or in this rounds discussion thread.

Crows back in the 8 on the live ladder

Its no great secret and even Port people understand their position, rightly or wrongly they decided to use surplus funds to beef up their footy department which would in turn increase performance which would increase attendence/memberships/sponsorships and THEN they would be able to reduce debt.

However there was a cliff coming if the above didn't succeed and that is where they are now, poor performance on and off field and large debt.

Im just very surprised that the footy media have allowed them to get away with it, with very little reporting about their financial situation, perhaps presuming wrongly it was all ok. Even stranger when you have a so called financial wizz as your President.

KT must be drafting his resignation letter surely, they need new direction IMO.

But I thought Adelaide Oval and China were a goldmine LMA ??? :-)

it is... subject to people turning up ;)

Port fans are conveniently ignoring UK’s point about this.
Of course the AO upgrade has been great for the state but it hasn’t been the saviour either on field or off field that the footy club thought it would be.
They’re still not playing finals and they’re again in financial strife.

He does have a valid point.

EFA

Everyone is missing UK’s point about this...it hasn’t been the saviour either on field or off field that the footy club thought it would be.

Is that his point though?

For mine, he's complaining about state government expenditure, not the onfield success of Port Adelaide:

5 years after spending $600 mill of tax payers money on Adelaide Oval we are back to where we started with a broke PAFC.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love the PAFC to be doing better than it currently is, but if his point is that the move to the oval was meant to improve the club, I don't understand why he keeps including the price of the oval redevelopment in his comments.

He's complaining about the state government expenditure coupled with the on going plight of the PAFC's finances because he thinks one was spent to fix the other. He actually thinks the AO Redevelopment was initiated and completed to save the PAFC .

Surely that was a major objective though (at least from PAFC's perspective).

If not, why were they pushing so hard to get there, set up a better stadium deal etc.

According to some nuffties it wouldn't have even happened if PAFC hadnt been driving the change?!

So if its not delivering the right numbers on the balance sheet after such a short time (particularly when it seemed to for the first couple of years), surely thats a legitimate cause for concern and not just deflection :-?

It's going to become pretty expensive if the novelty keeps wearing off new things for the Power fans this quickly ;)

Oh wait, too late.

Home games at Alberton?

chuck open a few more gates, add an eftpos machine and few more pies.

Job done!

Interesting that the last 4 pages of Crows / Roo bashing have come almost exclusively from blokes who's team have also missed the 8!

SA Footy's B Team at its finest!

Is it too late to join in? ;)

Nope, as a Saints and Panthers man you're more than qualified to comment on our current predicament ;) :lol:

Ken is locked and loaded for 2020. Finals or bust. Might get mentioned a few times between now and the end of 2020...
Don't go making our thread miserable please, maybe Pyke and Kenny can go on a fishing charter together.

Would be a disaster of a fishing trip.

Pykey would just keep throwing his line in the same spot, with the same bait over and over and wondering why the results weren't good.

Ken would catch a triple header with one cast and then get the hook caught in his eye and tumbler over board with the next, only to recover and catch other triple header next cast.

Shall we pop over to the Port thread to see what’s happening there?

No point, all of the crowd, as usual is following the crows

He even gave them a higher pretend % than WB and Freo to get them in

Pity the magpies are gone. Real pity.

Players in the AFL era to play at least 20 games in their debut season and average at least 15 disposals and 1.3 goals per game :
1991 John Klug ( 25 years old )
1991 Darren Jarman ( 24 )
2019 Connor Rozee ( 19 )

Bloody hell, i knew he was good, but i didn't know he was 'Johnny Klug good!'

Loved that guy in his first year at the crows

Greenwood has re-signed at the Crows by the sound of it

Adelaide not signing anyone until after the review.
Didn’t Kelly and Wilson only sign last week?

Before the review?

not sure, lets review the timing of this and see who's right?

SA Footy respond to the AFL releasing details of this years Grand Final entertainment

I'll be at the GF, can't wait for Paul Kelly, and Mike Brady should be at every GF ( as should Mark Seymour ). Will be happy to stand in the bar line while Tones & I play.

Not sure it's going to beat The Killers, they were as awesome live in 2017 as anyone could've been.

I'd like this twice if i could

Unless you don't rate him either.

pretty important metric to remove

I had Motlop, Sam Gray, Lycett and one other Port player drinking in my front bar today.
Lovely lads, welcome in my pub anytime!
Timed wearing my Geelong polo to work well and did get "chiefed" by Sam. :lol:

Did they know they were in the presence of SA Footy royalty?

Did they know.

Please.

Can they were their clubs proper jumper in the GF???

Didn't take long for you to become a salty bays fan

I'm really not that good at processing this sort of thing and like many i assume, tend to distance myself from it, so i also avoided the socials last night too and spent some more time with the kids.

A tough but pertinent reminder to focus on whats really important.

Nice to see that between the usual banter, this site can still be used for people (mostly stubborn blokes) to open up on tricky subjects.

Hamish Hartlett buying in with some commentary on the Johnson / Frampton suspensions..... embarrassing

Tribunal postponed until tomorrow night. Awaiting a medical report.

I'm sure the Bays will be open and honest. All good.

Concussed & vomiting that night I’m hearing.
Which gutless strike caused it will be interesting. No doubt Glenelg will do right thing.
Garner still not sighted? Hamish must’ve missed that one...

You get what you deserve.....

Not sure who you’re talking about here?

I'm referring the brainless PAFC repeat offenders

Please let there be more like this.... surely Charlie Dixon wants to chime in?

You gave and are giving up big coin for them...

Coin that was going to Brendon Ah Chee, Logan Austin, Jarman Impey, Matthew Lobbe, Jackson Trengove and Aaron Young. Like I said Impey was the main loss. Remember Port were lauded by the experts for that trade period. It hasn't worked out, that's just the way it goes sometimes. We got it right the following year in the draft and when Rockliff and co move on in a few years we will be in a good position to retain our draftees from last year.

Hombsch, O'Shea, Neade, Eddy....

So you're saying that you swapped 10 average, cheaper players for 3 average expensive players? :-?

If he said "7 players with AFL experience" would your lacy smalls still be all twisted up?

Possibly, but we'll never know as thats not what he said.

I hope Kochy also thinks its bitter sweet when good old Sturt boys like Lienert and Trengove play for Port against Sturt?

But I'm sure he'll feel for a good old Bays boy in Tobin Cox playing against his old team this week.

I think you and I both know it's what he meant.

Agreed

And i think you and I both know that he sounds a bit like a condescending twat when he tries to paint the story that the Port Maggies are hard done by. ;) :lol:

Not much bait on the hook there, and bang!

The most successful fishing exercise your club has done in years!

Bang average list with barely any A Grade star power and apparently players leaving the sinking ship left, right and centre.

I would love to see them to get a first year coach who will be on a hiding to nothing and get eaten alive by the Adelaide football public who have the most sheltered view of their club in the nation.

It's going to be fun.

You need to get out more :lol:

I get out plenty. But I have to admit whilst sitting on the shitter reading all the Crows fans on social media is as entertaining as any stand up comedy show you will go watch at the fringe.

Most looking forward to the 'we never should have got rid of Pyke' posts.

Thoughts with Raelee, David and Petrea

Bit of a stretch but would Kayo sport show the game today?? Is there anyway to see the game online?

I would have thought that the bays number one fan with his own dedicated bays thread would be there watching it live?!
I will be watching the second half live! I have my girls and I promised them a trip to lollipops last week to go this weekend and we didn’t have time yesterday and going there round lunch time is nauseating :roll:

Fair enough kids come first, and I guess it’s probably appropriate that you only attend after half time as it took you half a season to commit to jump on the bandwagon ;)
