Re: Port Adelaide - The Great Pretenders

On August 3, Port Adelaide destroyed Sydney by 112 points at the Adelaide Oval. They will come to play in Sydney. They will be ready for anything

It will be interesting to see what toll the week plays on PAP. This last week was full of emotion. For all the wrong (and right) reasons. That can be draining. To back that up against (arguably) the best team in the league, will be difficult. When you add to that Sydney have played one game in the last three weeks, the Swans will be full of run. I don’t think PAP will be able to match their efforts from August 3.

Apparently that was as bad as a coach walking onto the ground at a reserves game he wasn't involved in and calling a player a homophobic slur.........

AFEL!

What about the AFEL spending about 5 minutes to tick off the decision-making by everyone involved in Peteacca almost dying in hospital on the night of Kings Birthday?

Hurt feelings more important than a near fatality - make it make sense

He made the decision to go back onto the field - and the doctors were forced to let that happen. Doctors are now just part of the anti-expert bullshit that pervades pretty much all elements of society.

Isn't this just part of 21st Century society?

The same people who want to give violent offenders a second/third chance also want to persecute everyone who says something that counters their social justice agenda.

Needs more "woke" to really tick all the boxes.

Re: Port Adelaide - The Great Pretenders

Hinkley should’ve got fined $1m for being a dork. Imagine narrowly escaping what would’ve been I believe his 19th straight sets exit at home a week after losing by 80 and thinking that it’s the time to talk shit to someone who was at least cool enough to do it before a game.

Re: Port Adelaide - The Great Pretenders

If Sicily didn't react like he does every time a he is brushed by a fly and completely over play things then no one would've have known. He was just dirty on himself for missing the critical chance and needed to displace it.

Ken should have ran in and got the kleenex for him.

For what I could see Ginnivan didn't seem bothered in the slightest.

The going back onto the field bit was the least of the issues on that day/night - once the full story comes out there will be a lot of rewriting history, and none of it will be complimentary to either Melbourne or the AFEL. You quite rightly pilloried the AFEL for manufacturing an outcome of convenience and sweeping everything under the rug with regard to Talia-gate - they did the same thing with the Petracca issue.

As for the Hinkley saga, punishments need to be commensurate with the offence - whacking him $20k for saying to Ginny "you won't be on a plane next week" is draconian at best. But because the optics were on show in prime time, the AFEL have come down hard. Anyway, it was a chance for Dills and Kane-o to add to their Xmas party budget.

Port should tell the AFL to get stuffed - what a ****ing joke this is.
