R20 2008 Port v Sturt review

[lesthemechanic]

I think that's 3 in a row at Alberton as well. Must be a while since we've done that! (Cue Spelly)

It hasn't been a while - it's actually the first time that Sturt have won three in a row at Alberton.

Wow! Gotta love that! Superbitch status?

The Roosters had a good run there recently I think. I was rhinking when I left the ground that I could not remember us being on a 3 game win streak at Alberton, it is hard enough to win one game there.

Well done to the Double Blues and to Feasty, should've just gone for goal in the last 1/4. Sturt are still scrappy in the skills department but coming out with a win.
I have a theory on Port supporters of both teams and why the Power don't get a crowd, it's because alot of their "supporters" are lacking in moral fibre, insipid in character and when the going gets tuff they p*^^ off.
To the mental pygmy infront of the bowling club (which is a fine place to watch footy) who was suggesting that George Thring was inbred, basically to his face, this bloke should
1. have a look in the mirror.
2. stop chasing parked cars.
The same bloke suggested that Feasty was a hack and should retire, when I suggested that maybe Waterhouse should retire the bloke comes out with threats and verbal abuse. Nothing wrong with a bit a banter and to and fro, I love it. But when one wants to dish it out and can't hack another supporter doing the same and goes on the attack, well that's just childish and piss weak. It's exactly what Crows fans are accused of.
Anyway the majority were great and I had a good day, but there are some wankers that go to some games.
GO THE BLUES.

As a neutral watching the game, it was a prety interesting match ... Port's best were as productive as any out there, but they relied on too few.

Thought Sturts cleaner skills got them over the line and they were aided by Port's lack of defensive accountability among their forwards.

Both teams had several players down and carrying quite negative body language, I thought it was particulaly noticeable in Bentley who Im a fan of.

Sturt almost give the impression of doing some hard yards on the track, as they did enough to win and that was about it, think they have a lot more in them than we saw yesterday, although for the 2nd week in a row they struggled a bit with "inside" footy and that could hurt them against the Bays if they don't improve on it.

I see Sturt's u17s who were undefeated lost to Port by a point on Saturday at Unley.

The peanut in the Red Jumper needs to learn some life skills and how to behave with others in a public place. He didn't last long when his team showed no chance of winning.
Also he was only able to abuse when surrounded by other Port supporters...although I seriously doubt whether any one would have backed him up if push came to shove.
Cutterman, we came away as winners with the premiership points...Port are our bitches!

Must have been at the old cricket net end of the bowling club as I was in there but didnt hear any of it,was he the one who leant over the fence late in the game?

If so,I saw him unleash it,but didnt hear any of it.

Sturt too good on the day.Simple as that.Port not good enough to beat the top couple.

[CUTTERMAN]

No Booney the bloke you mention I think was the same bloke giving it to Luke Crane in the last 1/4, he was well pleased when Craney gave him the bird so he went on and on and on, Tool of the week award. Booney this bloke that had a go at me wasn't overly loud but just abusive and couldn't handle another supporter having a jibe at his club in jest, piss weak, lacking in character and a moron. Anyway it's a great little place at the bowling club and love the Pales on offer, had a good time and no harm done, just surprised at the thin skin of some "hard" supporters.

Had to laugh when I went to the bar, up comes a Port dero draped head-to-hoof in all his Power finery who asks the lady behind the bar, "So where's the toilet in this place then?" Get to Alberton often do you mate?

Obviously one of those Sturt-barracking Power supporters, there's a few about you know

ahhh, .... I don't think so. The Sturt ones don't wear Power gear to Sturt games. Nice try though , but he's one of yours.

You weren't wearing a fleecy red jumper...were you?
The only reason why there'd be any Sturt supporters giving the Power MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT is for the obvious reasons!

[GWW]

Doesn't change the fact that theres a few Double Blues supporters who follow the Power, i'm sure you guys love being reminded of that

I wouldn't be surprised since 6 or 7 of them are on OUR list

[CUTTERMAN]

Yes there are a few, Bentley, Pearce, Farmer, Thurstens and the not-so followers, Deluca, Thomson, Eckermann, Rischbeith. Apart from them I don't know of any.

Hehe, yeah a few players, plus a few plain, ordinary footy supporters as well

Jack Oatey would be turning in his grave wouldn't he

[lesthemechanic]

It's OK GWW, we all know it is Sturts underhanded way of getting an AFL team. Sturt Power, got a ring to it. Maybe Rick should have a go at coaching them, couldn't see him doing much worse.......
