Adelaide Crows Reserves 2014

[Rik E Boy]

Far from being a troll, I hope and believe that beenreal is completely genuine in his delusions.

Getting massacred in AFL grand finals better than everyone else; digging deep financial holes and needing help to crawl out of them better than everyone else; running down the team and the comp that was always the bedrock of the Port Adelaide Football Club's achievements, better than everyone else; disconnecting itself from the local community and closing up shop on junior development, and so starving its SANFL reserves (and ultimately league) team of talent, better than everyone else.

Talented kids growing up a drop punt from Alberton Oval will be playing their U/16 and U/18 football for whom? Not Port, that's for sure.

Suck on that Beenreel!

Wow, a primary school insult from some anonymous nobody across cyberspace. I'm Shakkkkkking.

And which of the two posts did you elect to respond to?

regards,

Beenreal I would put both port powers in the category as the cows, I would not trust either of the teams as far as I could throw them. I hope both teams finish down the bottom in both competitions like you have so often in the last decade. Beenreal you sound so proud of what the power has done to the former port Adelaide magpies, now for me will always be the port power reserves side, which I no longer consider our arch rival just an afl reserves team that I no longer respect just despise . From next year the tally starts @ norwood no wins power no wins until we play you. In which I will not be attending unless there are no norwood players from this years grand final playing (lewis Stephenson is an exception as he was not ours anyway).

Believe what you want, you can go and watch tiddlywinks for all I care.

So you've enjoyed a little recent success at local level. The past decade has seen one of your preferred clubs sell its clubrooms to pay off debt. While you've watched the other lose Preliminary Final after Preliminary Final, "Right in front of you" before finally bringing itself into disrepute by cheating to try and win that ever distancing Flag.

My club on the other hand has never finished bottom at either level, won a Premiership at the highest level, and tipped over $57,000,000 into the coffers of the $ANFL. Thankfully they didn't waste all of it because the PAFC at least got some of it back! But lord only knows what they have done with the rest of the money?

Someone said the word floggings on here. I reckon there could be few. Say North, Norwood and Centrals getting angry against one of the reserves sides might get a bit ugly especially if there are plenty of injuries at AFL level.

Anyway, shit will happen and the SANFL is keen to get hold of it and then polish it as much as possible then pass it off as gold. Problem is, if you dont address the smell, then you always be able to tell thats its shit or poo for the sensitive eyes in the room.

No point reading past that there.

I would have gone with - nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah

I believe the correct terminology is: Nyah nyah n-nyah nyah!

Gold coast coming in was the only reason why you did not win the wooden spoon you so thoroughly deserved as for crows losing prelim after prelim I don't follow afl any more have not since 2007, was sick of a bias Victorian competition ruing football. the only reason why the crows logo in on still on file is that I don't know how to remove it. Norwood having a little bit of success has nothing to do with my post it is more about how you think the power is not screwing over the SANFL clubs like the crows are, and don't you worry I hate them almost as much I hate you. As for that distancing flag let me know when the power win one, that is the afl power, I bet you will be waiting longer than you think. I hope I never see any of the 2 power teams or crows teams win one again.

Well, I know from experience that the content of Simon's post would've gone waaay above your head, I just dumbed it down enough so we could REACH you.
You should be thanking me!

[Booney]

Well, TRB, lets disect Simons comments then....:

Getting massacred in AFL grand finals better than everyone else - One Grand Final, not Grand Finals. It is what it is and the might of Geelong that day would have been difficult for anyone to counter. ( Port won the Prelim by 70+ points the week before )

digging deep financial holes and needing help to crawl out of them better than everyone else - Many AFL clubs have had dire financial situations in the last decade, some still in that position despite much support from the AFL. If North Melboure, Melbourne or the Western Bulldogs got as much media attention as Port's situation did in the local press and forums it would be interesting. So Port are not the only football club, at all levels, with poor financial statements, of all people I thought you'd be aware of that?

running down the team and the comp that was always the bedrock of the Port Adelaide Football Club's achievements, better than everyone else; disconnecting itself from the local community and closing up shop on junior development, and so starving its SANFL reserves (and ultimately league) team of talent, better than everyone else.
Talented kids growing up a drop punt from Alberton Oval will be playing their U/16 and U/18 football for whom? Not Port, that's for sure. - Well, call it how you see it, but the Port Adelaide Football Club wanted to maintain it's junior development stucture, it's development pathway for local kids.
As for disconnecting itself from the local community that is a comment from someone who is clearly uneducated. The Port Adelaide Community program is a cornerstone of our adminstration / off field operations.Indigenous programs, the Foodbank program to ensure people dont go hungry etc etc is all part of the clubs commitment to the community. As for local U16/U18 players, there is every possibility a kid from Port Districts could play at amatuer level for Port Districts while being guided through his development by an AFL club (directly, not indirectly) and become an SANFL reserves player with the Port Adelaide Football Club, an SANFL league player and if talented, committed and fortunate enough be drafted into the AFL or even remain living in the area he grew up in playing for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the AFL.

Suck on that indeed.

[RustyCage]

The Adelaide SANFL team will be getting its top up players from West, Sturt, South, North, Glenelg and the Eagles. Norwood and Centrals have opted not to give up any players

Booney, in my experience you haven't required the dumbing down of subject matter, much, so clearly my contribution to this discussion wasn't aimed at you. Rather i was simply translating a post for a certain troll who wants to turn this thread into another boring Port thing. As such I couldn't be bothered reading your reply. If you want a response to all or some of the above you'll have to ask Simon. I got so far as reading TRB and gave up.
Happy fishing.

[Booney]

Oh, it's not your attention I crave, trust me.

Anyway, this thread is about the newest team to enter the SANFL.

[therisingblues]

One of, you mean.

I call Bull$hit in regards to Norwood, Joe the Snake to perform a massive backflip and announce that our 5 best players will suit up for the Cows if there is a few pieces of eight involved.
Probably having a coffee with his snake mate Trigg right about now

[Dog_ger]

Losing Port Adelaide from the SANFL is an absolute tragedy.

Shame guys.

We never learnt from history from the Woodville/West Torrens thingy.

Shame. Shame. Max where are you?

I won't go to SANFL again.

It's not SANFL.

Its Bull shat.

[RB]

You're making some sense, Dogger.

Disappointing that South are worrying about this rubbish given their vote against the proposal. Would like to hear the club's justification for it.

[prowling panther]

I am disappointed as well that South are willing to give 'top up players' to the Crows. Maybe thats the price we have to pay for having an AFL style coach.

An explanation to the members should be forthcoming.

[Wedgie]

Not surprised Centrals aren't supplying any players because I don't think they've got any left!
