Meanwhile, Port give Geelong a rogering in their qualifying final. I only saw the second quarter which as it turned out was the winning of the game as PA pulled away decisively and their rabid fans put on even more of a show. Bloody entertaining.
They'd have to be the second roughest group of fans after Collingwood (and I'm not forgetting about Dogs fans here either). I don't say that just because of the crowd behaviour. I dated a girl in Melbourne who was a Port girl through and through, even having connections to Warren Tredrea. She was hot but a massive bogan at heart. Plus I think the club represents some fairly socio economically challenged areas of Adelaide, such as Port Adelaide itself, and Elizabeth / South Elizabeth. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

@shark I went to a port Richmond game at Adelaide oval once,
Yeah they are feral alright ,Richmond get a reputation for being feral , but I think it’s more they have a large blue collar supporter base , but I think their overall behaviour is mild compared to port .
The stories of people having their cars trashed at Adelaide oval if they have Vic number plates is true .
-
A Geelong supporting mate said through the week I reckon we will win it this year with Richmond our bogey team in finals not there ,
Interesting it was port who are probably the closest to Richmond in game style of the teams in contention, beat then in a final when the heat went up , had a similar look about it as they wilted

Lol fuck off Geelong you grubby flogs
Port's ball movement at times last night was incredible, they hunted down Geelong players, turned it over, then with some incredible handballs and run got it out of congestion and flew up the field. Boak is massively underrated I reckon.
Charlie Dixon is my favourite non-lions player in the comp. Big angry dude with a beard scowling at everyone and crashing packs. Also his missus is a fucking smoke show.
What does Scott want changed in the AFL after this loss?

@shark Port has always been seen as the club that represented the ‘working class’ dating back to its SANFL days and then into the AFL as a contrast to the Crows.
There are some rough areas in Port Adelaide/ Enfield. But some areas that have gentrified somewhat. Unemployment has tended to be higher there compounded when Holden shut their Elizabeth plant.
About 10 years ago a mate of mine who is a Collingwood supporter drove to Adelaide for a Port v Pies game and he genuinely feared for his life. And that’s something coming from a Pies supporter!

@mariner4life I think you wrote Charlie Dixon, when you meant to write Max Gawn.

Buddy wants to kick his 1k in front of a home crowd, simple
-
Toby Greene have to be the biggest fluffybunny out there
Can’t blame him for the loss though, 6 behinds in a row, any one of them would have won it for us

Caught the last 20.
All Swans, coming back from 19 points down but couldn't kick that last goal.
74 - 73. Swans gooorne.

A huge game next week between Giants and Geelong. Can’t stand Geelong even though I was a huge fan of both Ablett’s. Would love to see them go out in straight sets (again) under Chris Scott.
Giants are a bit Jekyll and Hyde, so hopefully they bring the heat.

Just have this feeling about the Giants that they're artificial so find it difficult to support them.

I quite like their style. Can’t stand Greene but he is a damn good player.
In terms of their artificialness, I guess any expansion team is going to seem like that when they’re in the same comp as teams that have been around since the 1800’s….

Really gutted….was banking on the AFL giving me something to get behind during lockdown…

Nobody says that about the lions/bears/Footscray any more
