Rosee the new Brett Heady? 

 

Rosee, Butters and Duursma all look like good pick ups for Port

6 rounds in and we are clear last on the ladder.

Let that sink in. 

Nathan Jones, Max Gawn, Jack Viney, Jordan Lewis, Tom Mcdonald, Nev Jetta, and Hibberd should be embarrassed. 

What a massive indictment on everything Roos and Jackson achieved. What a massive insult to the fans and what they've had to put up with.

What a [censored] disgrace. 

Yep folks, we are now on the bottom.  Extraordinary, hardly believable.

The title of a thread can be confusing at times, but this one is clear. Go whinge elsewhere.

The results of this round have pushed us to last. Better?

Totally agree. Years of being a basket case and getting top draft pick and where stone motherless last. Do club like Cats; Eagles, Hawks ever experience this humiliation. Shameful. As for Stephen May hang your head in shame

These ANZAC Services on before games, after ANZAC Day are just not right. 

Why does the AFL persist in such things?

don’t over do it...

With Easter and ANZAC Day so close this year it seems like everyone has taken the opportunity to treat the whole week as a holiday. The day (a solemn DAY of remembrance) has lost something with this continuation. Easter round was already long and drawn out. Thank goodness ANZAC Day falls on a Saturday next year.

Three first round picks in the last draft! Looks like it’s transformed the team. I also note how well their no name backline played because they are organised and work as a unit. And we coughed up 3 first rounders for 2 key backs who can’t get on the park. Just an observation.

Agreed. Anzac Day was just swamped this year. 

Well, in this month's edition of Ben Cunnington is a sniping *****, we have some kind of Marvel-inspired dance-attack elbow to the face of Brad Ebert.

So... nearest the pin guesses what excuse the tribunal will find to downgrade it to a fine, or will he maybe even get a whole week this time?

Following on from the whack Robbie Gray in the guts move that had him off the ground earlier in the game.

Knowing the AFL he will get off, maybe a fine.

Now if one o our guys did that 10 weeks

Aaaand ... we’re last.

Feels like we just returned home after an overseas adventure.

Kids can play much earlier,  if they can find the space and time that suits them.   Always has been. 

More space effectively makes the game feel a little slower for them, compared to the congested flood of last year. They can feel their way more naturally.

Back in the 70's,  kids like Timmy Watson were playing VFL at 16Yrs of age,

 

The AFL's cocked up timing of changes really stuffed us,  as we were building for the game style of the past 8 Years.

Yep your right Range, i actually did and it feels just like that. Flat.

Seems like an age ago already that I looked at our team and thought we could win the whole thing. That was frikn August. When I look now we seem fully a mile off even being a goodish, ordinary team. 

In time we’ll find out exactly what happened in the summer of 18/19. I have a complex theory but it involves black magic and Voldemort.

I remember when he punched Bernie in the guts and North fans played the whole Bernie dived, Cunnington is so brave and tough. 

Mongrel, but sensational player

In my starting 22 every day of the year

In one certain half forwards’ case more like lasagna, tagliatelle and tartufo.

Brad Scott's thin skin shows again:  :.. admits that stinging criticism from club greats could become a distraction for his team..."  "But it’s a fact that it can become a distraction. Particularly when a club that prides itself on being really tight and really strong has people nipping around the edges."  Carey and King criticise North

That is a startling admission and would imagine more distracting to his players knowing that their coach is taking on board what commentators say.  Commentators who are paid to create click bait. 

King and Carey aren't giving worse than we got from the likes of Lyon and Schwartz for a few years. 

Scott could learn a lot form Goodwin:  tell his team it is all 'fugazzi'!

Unfortunately it’s only fugazi if you start winning games.
