Round 2 Non MFC games

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Terrible Bulldogs, no home ground spirit at all...pfft WC.

[Dee Zephyr 19,157]

Dogs had one good moment at least, kicking a late goal to place us back in 7th spot.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Port beat the swans in this game last year and possibly began the rot, which we fixed......I took Port 3/1 at half time.

Oh yeah, and go Jack....opps. Come on jack, lift...

What has happened to the dogs, such a massive fall from grace, it’s like they thought bang we won a flag that will do us for another 50 years 

1954 all over again.

 

But what happened next ... ?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I still cannot get my head around Dom Barry being back in the AFL.

Great example of players being drafted too young.

He’s been solid too.

You’re not implying that Watts is a downhill skier are you?

[daisycutter 29,334]

Port are better than I thought they were

A lot of talk about their “Big 3” recruits but players like Bonner and Barry have added some more run and polish in their side from what I have seen early on.

C Pederson: 6 Disposals, 4 Kicks, 2 Handballs, 3 Tackles, 0 scores in a far from convincing win against a bottom six team.

J Watts: 10 Disposals, 4 Kicks, 6 Handballs, 5 Tackles, 0 scores in an impressive win against one of the best teams in the league.

Neither set the world on fire but I wouldn’t be bagging how Jack played his role in that win.

I assume that is a rhetorical question young Jumbo

What’s Pedersen got to do with Watts?

I hope so, Diamond...this year has to be the year where we go in very, very hard, week in, week out

Goodwin has his team...let's see him coach it to high levels of uncompromising footy

He plays the role Watts would play if still on our list and the most similar role to the one Watts plays at Port Adelaide. Admittedly Pedo plays more ruck than Jack with Dixon and Westoff taking that on but that should be an opportunity for Pedo to get the ball more, not less.

[Willmoy1947 3,966]

Crucial decisions in last ten minutes robbed Sydney of any chance to get closer. That talk they had with the AFL prior to start of Season must have been like........you get to decide The Brownlow, we get to decide the Winners............

Fritsch was Watts' replacement. 9 possessions for 2.1. I'll take that.

Though he didn't set the world on fire, I thought Pederson still did some good stuff.  A few of his passes into the forward line to Jessy Hogan were spot on.  Though I don't really recall him clunking many yesterday, he provided a pretty good aerial contest.  Hogan and Jeffy were on fire and were very enjoyable to watch.

Couldn't care less how that other bloke played for Port, any more than any other player in the league.  It's done move on.

Go DEMONS.

When I looked we were sitting around 1.5% clear of West Coast, who were in 9th.  Almost totally meaningless, but ironic I thought.

No questions being asked about Bailey's commitment for the contested ball.

So both Port and Melbourne had a somewhat ineffective forward this weekend. Is that your point?

From a then young Scully’s point of view, I doubt very much that it had anything to do with big bucks and selling honesty and integrity down the sewer.  We are talking about an 18 year old kid who was probably afraid to tell the truth because he was afraid of causing Stynes more pain.  Have you never told a white lie so as not to inflict needless hurt?

If you want to point fingers and hate on people, then go for the people that were truly responsible; his father and his management.  And I have no idea how political correctness managed to sneak into this.

Anyway, that is my take on things and as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t make me any less of a supporter of this team (as was insinuated in another response I received) that I have been following unerringly for nigh on 60 years. 

I’m prepared to give a person just starting out on his life, the benefit of the doubt. I’m certainly NOT prepared to take pleasure from that player suffering a very severe injury. 

of course i have when I was younger and fearful; and I regret them now.  Nothing is as good as being honest with the ones you Love.

Lies are just further deception.

And the poorer our society is with them... white lies, black lies, yellow lies, little, big, politically correct ones, all the same.  Deception. 

It destroys trust amongst all people. relationships. 

Remember this old  beaut.......  White Man speak with Forked Tougue.

 

Forked Tongue is a good analogy, because if its Serpents in our Society we want, we're getting our wish.  Not a very good place to bring up kids in, these days.

 

I will not sacrifice integrity now, for anything.   Life hurts, its painful at times.  But lies weaken all of us, & the things that bond us all together.
