Title: Port Adelaide compared to RFC
Post by: Simonator on April 27, 2014, 07:30:57 PM
Look how quickly they turned things around. Remember that last game of the season a few years ago with the draw ? Port would thump us now. How can they turn things around so easily and quickly whilst we go in reverse. Coach selection ? Culture ? List management ??

White in particular must be laughing his arse off - first year away from Richmond and he not only gets to start but also finally gets to play in a win over Geelong.

How can Port Adelaide be down and out 2 years ago
No supporters going to games
Team terrible
Internal issues at the club
Now on top of the ladder
How ?
A true leader leading a group of people young and old
David Koch brought on new sponsors and promoted the club
Set standards for the club which were not negotiable .players included,
They have a lot of no name players playing terrific footy in a team environment
Us.well we will have yet another 5 plan no doubt
Anyone heard from Peggy ?
Peggy who ?
Honestly our football club is all about spin and 5 year plan combined with extensions of contracts

Port backed their kids and built from within.

We didn't back our kids, let them rot at Coburg then give them a mickey mouse Coach to take care of them at VFL level which they are uncompetetive for whilst we draft in failed useless spastix from other clubs to take their spots who never get dropped.

Its a circus when you think about it.

They have dead set sold us a pup again. They are full of crap down there at Punt Road and they have been found out once again.

Port plays football & the players are prepared to go one on one & back their teammate on winning his own ball

Richmond play keeping's off & are scared to loose the ball. When they do everyone stops & watches.

bang Monk, read my my post in "underbelly topic"

he doesnt demand excellence like say a Buckley or Clarkson does.

Thats a fact. They dont fear him. Making jokes about Jake King and his tatts, Hoilui bringing him food. Players dont respect him cause they dont fear him or their position in the team.

It wasnt that long ago that Port couldnt get 20,000 to a home game.

Your right.
The club is basking in the glow of passionate supporters/members. We are blinded by yellow & black but how about the next generation?
I made my kids support the tigers, I said, "Support the tigers or get out of my house!" 
Over the years I've taken them to games wiping the tears from there eyes by quarter time.
But as I drove home I watched as there eyes widened whilst I told them tales of the glory days of giants of the game like Bartlett, Roach, the Ghost, Flea, Wood & Wiley, when Richmond was the biggest club in the land.
As they grew up I seen a sort of passion begin as my girls took a keen interest in the young strapping boys coming through. But flogging after flogging during the early years of Dimma's tenure wasn't the most enjoyable time for them either. Family days and player badges and photos with players plasted all over there walls shows that they may have some decent passion but it might be more about the players than the jumper, I'm not really sure. Poor kids haven't seen a lot of success.
How will my kids be when they have families?
I reckon grandpa will have to show the youngsters the way.

With the lack of success I don't think the passion is the same. My kids think I'm crazy the way I carry on and they're right.   :lol

actually while I am at it another noticeable comparison when watching class teams are their football smarts. Simple things like trusting a teammate to make a tackle while making sure you then mark up on his only disposal options. Time and time again we have three players trying to tackle someone only for the ball to pop out and it's a clear run into space for the opposition. Maybe it's just me but those sorts of situation are just plain common sense, is there a test for common sense at the draft camps?

l was watching that & noting it myself. They were running in waves of players & Hawthorn does it perfectly. Port were doing it as well. Richmond players have no flow, They are playing a old brand zone style of keeping it off from 10 years ago
actually while I am at it another noticeable comparison when watching class teams are their football smarts. Simple things like trusting a teammate to make a tackle while making sure you then mark up on his only disposal options. Time and time again we have three players trying to tackle someone only for the ball to pop out and it's a clear run into space for the opposition. Maybe it's just me but those sorts of situation are just plain common sense, is there a test for common sense at the draft camps?

No-one has common sense to hand out. Its how they are coached young & what they listen too & take in & how much family is involved. They must be determined, & prepared for torture & spewing up. Many of them play several different sports & things are just natural to them when it comes to skill levels & "awareness" "The key factor." On the field they are fit & flexible. Another important part is listening to trainers & medical staff injury & recovery. But you are on the ball with what your watching & describing & we simply don't do those things & that's because they are not desperate enough & expect the others to do the task for them. We have too many at the club who think because they have been their longer that they know better than the new arrivals when in real fact they never knew how to lead themselves. That's why Cotchin is the leader because he has it in him to lead but few who are prepared to follow. The same problem Chris Newman had. We must eradicate some players who think they are better than they are. Rewoldt, S. Edwards are our main offenders. If l was coaching they would have been gone 1st up. l would have sold Rewoldt to GWS for some of defender type players. l would have put Vickery at FF & Griffiths at CHF with the likes of Martin & Ellis around their feet.

l give you a example of a leader. Steve Wallis Snr from Footscray / Western Bulldogs. From Jnrs through to his whole career he played with the same determination l have seen from only some. l was his opponent several times & we had some good battles l had to smack him to get on top  ;D

Go Port! Go Sarge! A great day, the return of long sleeve Schulz.

Look how quickly they turned things around. Remember that last game of the season a few years ago with the draw ? Port would thump us now. How can they turn things around so easily and quickly whilst we go in reverse. Coach selection ? Culture ? List management ??

Hmmm yes thats right, good post

They're still above us on the ladder. I thought they would taper off as they did last year but didn't think it'd be so dramatic. What's been really interesting to me is that Wingard was one of the most dynamic forwards and was absolutely killing it for the first half of the year but now he seems to either of run out of gas or opposition has figured him out?

yet port have beaten freo hawthorn and geelong this yr and lost to sydney by 4 points in a game they really should have won imo.

to take it a bit further they have also beaten top 8 side ess.  and lost narrowly to nm. and this week lost a close one to collingwood. in other words they have gone pretty well against every side in the 8 and won their share.

i reckon like us and a lot of sides they get hurt by not many injuries and like a lot of sides find out, lack of depth a few injuries and a form slump  its hard to turn it around. they play their share of mediocre types imo. also think sides have had to put a bit of time into them and their game has been broken down a bit.

reckon depth is their biggest issue.  they need another kpf to structure up properly as well. they have tried butcher and shaw  with no luck yet and added harvey to their list last yr.. they dont really have any kpds in the wings apart from development type clurey. and like all sides could really do with a few more quality mids.



imo like most clubs they have a fair bit of list building still to do. and have their fair share of players to cut. their best 22 is pretty decent but most clubs will tell ya that. they arent a premiership threat and wont be unless they continue to build.

The only comparison that matters is that Poot have lost a shitload of games while the Tiges have won a shitload

Matt White only had 1 good year in about 8 at Richmond. The club was right to offload him.
