Re: Crows 2014



Kind of, but the reference to Adelaide having a "great" midfield is delusional. Dangerfield and Sloane are stars no doubt, but I would have thought Black, Voss, Lappin, Power was a great midfield or Kerr, Cousins, Judd. Adelaide's is a fair way down the list even compared to many other clubs this season alone.

You are stretching my words a bit. They are nowhere near all time great, or even a great of the modern era. I was using great as a synonym for good, better than the current afl average.

And no matter the strength comparatively it is still the crows strength so would need to be combatted. The statement "collingwood need to shut down the crows midfield" makes perfect sense. It's basically true of any game of afl.

You guys love nitpicking.

I think Adelaide's midfield is over rated, they are, IMO, middle of the road. Dangerfield is top notch, we all know that. Sloane too is very good, but I think he is limited in respect to genuine midfield guns. He lacks a truly penetrating kick ( he's not a on the run goal from 50 player ) and I think he is "gettable" in the air against the better midfielders, don't get me wrong, he is a very good player. Douglas is under rated but I think the lacks a bit of defensive prowess and besides some in and under grunt, Thompson is slowing down rapidly. Out side that the likes of Brodie Martin, Rory Laird, Sam Kerridge, David McKay and the in and out Grigg aren't really taking the next step to become serious headaches for opponents when they are running through there. All play very inconsistent football at this time, they may develop to the point of being consistent contributors.

So, again IMO, Adelaide have one star, one very good player, one consistent ball winner with grunt and several who try hard but rarely get 25+ touches.

The top half a dozen clubs, along with the expansion clubs could claim to have deeper midfields.

Cougar Town at the Palais on a Sunday afternoon.

Was there for the wifes birthday with a group of friends when the band "Frenzy" started up. ( Should be called subdued, not so much frenzy )

There would have been a dozen or more "cougars" on the dance floor, a few groups of young lads hanging around while the $20 jugs of vodka took full effect. Was fascinating to watch it all unfold*. :lol:

Re: The 2014 season no AFL in the SANFL whinge thread


In fact the AFL needs the SANFL far more than they need a team like the crows or the power as they are all but franchises that can be replaced. A little bit of short term pain but definetly replaceable .
Very good point.
The success of the Crows proves that a side can be created from nothing with no supporters, to a state phenomenon with a membership of 50,000 plus. Had those 50,000 turn coats simply refused to follow the AFL and stayed with their SANFL side, as we did, we wouldn't be in this mess. They preferred to follow a side made from nothing over teams they'd followed their whole lives.

I have never been able to get my head around that!

So much lol.

First things first, people under about 30 have never known anything different to the crows being in the AFL.

Secondly not all people followed the vfl as well as the sanfl. Or they may not have followed or closely.

Wouldn't it follow then that if there was a brand new south Aussie team that they could get behind, in a comp that is better than the sanfl, that they would do that, as well as they continue to follow their sanfl team in a LOWER comp?

Your statement is so ridiculous that it hardly deserved comment but I had to...

And well done timmy for bringing some sense back to this conversation.

For some, many in fact, 1990 is really like it was only days ago.

Re: Port 2014 - Pre-Season/General Discussion

Serious question to port supporters

Do you think port can maintain this for the rest of the season??? I personally think they can and if they do will go very deep into september... especially if you can secure a home final.

Obviously many factors, but a few spring to mind :

Rucks - Lobbe has played an almost lone ruck role since early 2013 and has done an amazing job. This could be problematic or it could be a plus, I think it is a plus as he is fitter than ever, match hardened and is getting good support from Trengove and Westhoff during games in the last month. With the week off and him missing the Fremantle game he's just had a nice little break before the second half kicks off.

However, if he goes down at any point we are in big strife. Butcher or Harvey would have to come in to allow Westhoff to ruck with Trengove, leaving us vulnerable at both ends. A hell of a lot rests on Lobbe's shoulders.

We play you blokes (Sydney) twice in 8 weeks ( rounds 13 and 20 we also play Melbourne twice yet too 11 and 18 ). We've got Melbourne this week in Alice Springs, St.Kilda in Adelaide then Sydney in Sydney. That will be a real test for us and we finish with 5 pretty tough weeks. Collingwood (A), Sydney (H) Gold Coast (A) Carlton (H) Fremantle (A).

I think what our biggest plus is at the moment is the spread of goal kickers. Schulz and Westhoff have had a couple of quiet weeks but Monfries, Gray and Wingard ( who can make my man parts move with some of the stuff he does ) are chipping in. Add in that Boak, White, Ebert, Wines and Hartlett have all had games this year where they've kicked 2 or more then we have, I think, just about the best balanced forward half in the competition with Sydney and Hawthorn.

Can we keep it going? Injury free, I see no reason why not. Obviously the group is fit, strong and they played out 2013 'til the very end and didn't drop off. We've had another preseason to build on that base.

Injury free is the key.

Re: Hawthorn 2014

I still think Hawthorn are the team to beat. You have Schoenmakers back in which then releases Gibson to do what he does best. Mitchell is the heart of that team! Roughy back takes focus off of Gunston (even though he had a cracker on the weekend) and then you have (I don't think he is 100%) Hodge just floating in between the 50's doing his thing.

Port and Sydney are playing great footy, but I only think Sydney (when both teams are fully fit) have the personel to take it to the Hawks.
Geelong anyone?

Yes, but they will need to finish top 4 or risk an away game to the ANZ or perhaps Adelaide Oval.

Although, coming from outside the top 4 this year might be more "doable" than previous years. Gold Coast might still hold onto 4th, do they get a mention anywhere?

Re: Weirdest thing you have seen on a football field

Now some may think this disgusting but this is a dead set story that happened to me whilst playing at Peake about 3 years ago.

I'd had a huge night the night before and wasn't travelling so well so stopped and got some KFC in the morning I got some hot and spicy, KFC had just opened so it was around 10am anyway got to the game drank as much water as I could anyway game starts end of the first term copped a huge tackle and sure enough completely soiled myself :oops: went in the change rooms showered put my clean Jocks on and carried on the game only to have the exact same thing happen to me at the start of the 3rd term straight in the change rooms again another wash and finished the game free balling wasn't a great day for me......

Our runner thought it was the funniest thing his ever seen

Slightly off topic....but in a similar thread.

Playing cricket with some very,very hung over blokes against Broadview at Hampsted High IIRC, one of our blokes at slip is grizzling that he needs to take a dump and drinks is several overs away. Things started to get a bit "giggly" with fielders, batsmen and umpires all aware of the situation.

"Uh oh" the bloke cries, he's shat himself. Everyone on the field bursts into laughter as he limps off the field....but, one of the blokes who had been on the sauce with him the night before literally laughs so hard he too shits himself!

Re: Cossies back!

I have known Mark since Year 8 at Trinity College, and he has always been a top bloke. Trust me he is as hard working as anyone, used to bat in the bets for hours after school with the old man throwing balls at him.
Yes he may have had weight issues in the past, but can tell you he is the fittest I've seen for a while, and yes we still kept in touch when he went to the Apple Island. But look at the likes of Boon, you an still make a career out of it.
I can 100% tell you that Mark made first contact with the SACA board as he wants to come home with his girlfriend to start a family.
So knowing Cossie for on 15 years anyway who calls him a c#%t, may need to invest in a mirror and have a look at themselves.

P.S if any of you blokes still don't believe me, send me a PM and I'll set up a coffee date with Mark.

Thanks mate. I did my very best. Well, some weeks I was hungover, most seasons pretty out of shape, but I did my best. Well, except for the selfish cow corner slogs when you're out for 6 batting at 3, that's probably not doing my best. Anyway, cheers!

Re: The 2014 season no AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

Getting the thread back on track.
To me being a club means; Directors change, Managers (Coaches) change and Players change. But the club remains the same and the fans stay loyal because they have no choice. Once you fall in love that's it, it's you club for life.
(Apologies LPH, not having a dig mate. But I would be suprised if the Eagles weren't still in your heart). You might give up on your club, but you don't change aligiances to another club. If you do, then just maybe you weren't in love in the first place.

It's only my opinion but I would not be suprised if most others felt pretty much the same.

This is where I kinda feel sorry for Port fans like Booney because in Port's case, it's more than just the Coach, Players and Directors that have changed. It's the club and the essence of the club itself.

I'd guess that most Power fans couldn't really give a rats arse about the original SANFL Port Adelaide. The "one club" etc is just media bullshit spewed out to justify the Power's disrespect for the SANFL and the true Port Adelaide fans. Booney, I have no idea how long you have supported Port Adelaide and I wouldn't be so presumptuous to say where your passion lies now. But most SANFL fans will genuinely feel that the real Port Adelaide died the day a Port Adelaide Power was born. I suspect many true SANFL Port fans feel the same way.

The fundamental cornerstone that makes a club what it is, is that the club itself dient change. Unfortunately I don't think that stands true for Port Adelaide FC

You state that in all clubs directors, coaches and players change, yet the club remains the same. Then you say this year the club has,in essence, changed, because the players have. Yes?

I've been a life long Port supporter, with 3 generations before me the same and I, at no point on this debate ( and TRB might still be looking ) have I said this is a good thing that has happened. I've only been to two Magpies games this year, solemn, passionless affairs that they were too.

No doubt things have changed for ever more, they'll most likely change every year from now on so like many people on here my interest in the SANFL has diminished.

It's a 5 minute walk to Alberton Oval for me but it doesn't seem the same anymore. Having said that, if a team wearing black and white prision bars is running around the SANFL grounds in action, well they're my team for better or worse and I'll support them. I simply cannot fathom not supporting them out of protest for the decisions others have made and I sure as hell wouldn't be seen dead barracking for any other team. I support two other SANFL clubs with basic memberships as I think they need all the help they can get. But I am, we are, Port Adelaide. It's in my blood.

Re: The 2014 season no AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

Yes John, been a passionate, proud paid up member since I was delivered into this mortal coil in '75. My formative years from the late 80's to mid-90's blessed me and all other Port Adelaide fans with some pretty good times, as did the early 2000's ( and I hope the near future).

Am I sad at what has happened to my club? Yes, and no. Clearly times have changed and so has Port Adelaide. I will always be very passionate about anything Port Adelaide is associated with, we could become world marbles champions and I'd probably be there to buy the t-shirt! :lol:

As I noted above, Magpie games have been pretty benign affairs this year and I do wonder what my dearly departed Grandfather and my much loved and departed Great Aunt would think of the current day happenings, but then I think you know what, things change and the people of the time make of it what they make of it. ( I can image my Grandfather trying to get his head around the "internet" ).

Am I sad at what has happened to the SANFL? Yes, and no. Yes because it isn't what is used to be, but no because times change and evolution of all things can't be controlled or limited. It is what it is. I'm sad that Port won't whallop North or Glenelg at Footy Park in late September anymore, but that was that time and this is now. My Mum might lament not seeing Port beat Sturt in front of 60,000 at Adelaide Oval again, but she was there and that was then and this is now.

I completely understand why so many are so angered by what has happened, but on the other hand I don't truly believe that enough people made enough noise at the time to truly influence the decision. Some admirable "sit ins" at Woodville Oval with some A3 cardboard or a printed banner are, in essence, small fry compared to the riches the clubs were offered.

Again, money talks and it's never been louder in the ears of SANFL club boards than in 2014. They didn't need $40,000 desperately in 1989.... ;) but that was then and this is now.

Re: The 2014 season no AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

If you think there were clubs that didn't need $40k in 1989, you'd probably need to look back in history. Even the Maggies were struggling financially in the 80s (when Russell was coaching?). Heck, the VFL evolved into what it is today because clubs were in financial strife.

As for $40k, our clubs sold out for a pittance. $40k is not going to solve the problems of those clubs in financial strife. Clubs will always be and always have been in strife - then and now. But they will keep going on and then it will be another club's turn to face financial stress. That's the way it's always been - then and now.

The financial dividends to go to the clubs are being over played when discussing the reasons for what has occurred. There was self-interest and pressure to do as the big boys, for the 'bigger picture', asked - for mine, these were the main reasons clubs caved.

From what I can gather, of the clubs that held meetings to discuss the issue, their boards went against the wishes of the supporters of their club anyway, so a greater noise than "sit ins at Woodville Oval" or a "printed banner" wouldn't have done anything. Furthermore, there is no way that the SANFL fans could compete against the sheer noise, media or fan base, made by those with an investment in the AFL clubs.

I won't, as stated earlier, tell you what your club is, I won't even call you Warfie Scum, but to think we, as fans, could've stopped what was preordained is hard to stomach.

There's no doubt clubs have always struggled financially, but there is no doubt that none of the clubs ever thought in 1989 that there demise was a possibility. They now know that it is a stark reality. They also know the best way to avoid such a disaster is to not bite the hand that ultimately feeds them and that, sadly, isn't the members or supporters. It's the SANFL circa 1980's and now the SANFL as a subservient slave to the AFL circa 2014.

Don't for one minute think promises of all you can eat's and drinks in the members at AO didn't sway the odd self serving president or board member either.

And yes, what was in all reality a preordained matter is not one that I'm going to lose sleep over. If I could do nothing about it in the first place, why would I spend time being angered by it now? For mine it's the reality of the situation and little 'ol me wasn't gonna stop it. I'm not happy about it, I don't agree with it.....but where to now?

You can give it away, some have. You can go support someone else. Some have. You can try and make the most of whats left. I am.

Re: Round 11 Chat

8,9,6,9,7,7,7,6,8

That's their breaks for the rest of the year. (If my quick adding was correct)

Sounds like geelong folk trying to make excuses for finally losing a game


Well according to bullshit theories they might as well play their reserves the two games they have 6 day breaks unless the sports scientists and teams of analysts can solve the riddle of how to possible recover with only 144 hours between games.

It kind of reminds me of the year that everyone got a hard on for teams not being able to win the week after playing in Perth. :roll: HTFU!!!

Vanessa, Benny.

Three six day breaks in succession DOES take a toll on the energy levels of the players (although it's not unexpected of a Crows fan in particular to understand the nature of a tough draw seeing as they never seem to get one). Especially when the opposition is coming off the bye. I watch Geelong every week and I've never seen us cooked in the first five minutes of the game. It was obvious to anyone who really watches the game. We wouldn't have beaten Sydney off seven days break at the SCG without Lonnegan and Enright but there was no spread or defensive run from the Cats and we didn't suddenly become Richmond overnight.

I don't know about bullshit theories but I know it's considered an advantage to have a week off during the finals and they avoid scheduling six day breaks during and leading up to the finals wherever they can. Hmm, wonder why that is? If you want to keep your head in the sand you should be out there helping Hockey defend his budget instead of wasting time on this forum LOL.

regards,

REB

It's because after 3 pre-season games, 22 H&A games and training since November the year before the teams finishing higher on the ladder deserve an advantage.

6 day breaks two weeks after the mid season break aren't to hard to handle/cater for with training loads, surely?

Agreed, but.....I am going to watch Chris Cheney, Phil Jamieson, Josh Pyke, Tim Rogers with a 21 piece rock orchestra play the White Album in it's entirety at the Festival Theater in a few weeks.

As a big Living End and Grinspoon and You am I fan I'm looking forward to seeing these guys put their own spin on it and would expect the show to include some classics from each of those ensembles to finish off the night.

Re: Crows 2014

still dont have higher crowds than us though...

meh ive never believed in having a go at anyone else for barracking for their side. or even laughing at a side in general. i mean imagine being a richmond supporter. cant kick a man when he is down like that.

the crows wont win a flag this year, im quite happy for port to win it. so long as you dont be smug cnts about it. deal? :D

If it was to occur, I'm not prepared to make promises that I can't keep. ;)

As for laughing at other supporters, as for taking it easy on Richmond/Carlton fans, **** that! I love heaping shit on both of them, they make me laugh and entertain me no end. :lol:

Re: Sheffield Shield Season 2014/15

Had never even considered this style of points system, but on first glance, it seems reasonable. If they want to replicate Test Cricket, why don't they have 5 Day matches?

Agreed. Bowlers get match conditioned, batsman know they can build and innings, captains can employ tactics accordingly.

If anyone tells me it would cost too much......bite me. ;)

Re: Port 2014 - Pre-Season/General Discussion

Warren Tredrea, Australian Football Hall of Fame inductee.

During the period of 2001, 2002 (49 goals ),2003 (58) ,2004 (81) Tredders stood tall as the best CHF in the game.

Widely regarded as the hardest position to play on the field Tredrea stood out as the best player for 4 consecutive years in that position and in 2004 was one of the stand out players in the competition. 81 goals from CHF in a Premiership year. =D>

Re: Crows 2014

Stoked that Andrew McLeod has been inducted into the hall of fame, a thoroughly deserved accolade for him. I will forever have the memory of him accepting his norm smiths with tears in his eyes. I wonder if he will ever get into coaching at an AFL level?

Absolute jet in his day and one that would have played well into his 30's if not for a debilitating knee injury. We probably missed out on 2-3 years of McLeod magic when his knee couldn't hold up any more.

IMO, the greatest AFC player since their inception.

Don't forget, he and Mrs.McLeod gave us the "Edwards incident" too. :lol:

Re: Round 12 - live scores, results & gas bagging.

Just looking at the AFL player ratings - Interesting that we have 3 mids in the overall top 25, wouldn't have thought Fyfe ranked below Danger, Sloane and Douglas. Barlow not even in top 100 - these ratings are a bit off me thinks. Freo dont have any in the top 20, Hill is their highest mid at 23...

Troy Chaplin was/is the number 7/8 key defender.

Stick your ratings.... ;)

That's how bad you're travelling.

Kicks 3 in a half, has one touch after half time and gets named in your best......now you want him to get a Rising Star nomination?

Re: Round 12 - live scores, results & gas bagging.

Howes was more important, as it was a defensive mark, whereas Wingard was inside the forward 50 and therefore given the importance of the mark at the stage of the match, id go with Howe

but they still have a long long long way to go to beat God over Pert at the G'



Howe and Wingard actually marked theirs.

Re: Things that make you laugh

I grew up watching Agro's Cartoon Connection . I wish it was more this though...

hPD_RHVFlys

I've got a VHS from the early 1980's that includes this and loads of other footage. I think my old man got it when he was doing courier work and C7 was part of his customer base.

I'd say it was a Xmas tape that the editing department put together of Agro bloopers, off air new anchor arguments and cock ups, on air bloopers and take after take of people screwing up.

There's one of the old Sydney news reader and his chick off sider having a massive ding dong about these Uni people protesting over some shit, he fires off "hippy scum" this and "dead end no hopers" that, she hits back with plenty. I reakon it was before they started filming the nightly session and the tape shows them during the news crossing to each other, the daggers are gold!
