Unreserved Apologies

[Nico]

I sincerely and unreservedly apologise to any player who played today for ever making a comment doubting their ability or commitment.

What goose I was for thinking that Adam Schneider was not yet tough enough for the midfield.

And I have spoken to Plugger 46, who went to Adelaide, that if he ever puts it on Ben Mathews again he will be lynched by the RWO crew.

On Mathews, his tackles in the dying moments were sensational.

Brett Kirk, forget how many possesions/disposals he had, he must have touched the footy 40 times.

Leo, you have arrived.

Adam Schneider could have had 2 goals!! He will settle into a champion player IMHO once he learns how to settle himself down. He is going to make it, I'm certain of it.

We were hit hard by Port in the 3rd quarter, but that was a bloody brave effort to just get up and keep going.

As i said to cure-the-sane,mate go face the corner for a few minutes,lol,seriously though if we all talked up our chances every week then we might fall into the powers trap of just being too damn cocky.How was Choco coming out during the week saying he exspected his players to kick around 20 goals this week,no idea .What a tool.

[Nico]

You just wonder how Choco is rationalising his arrogance during the week, right now.

Just look at Roos, Matthews and Malthouse and how they have gone about their weeks. I don't recall any of these people showing any arrogance in their demeanour. Surely his complacency in the media must have had some affect on his players.

Must really be questioning his ability as a coach.

Has Stevens on Willo in the forward pocket for almost a half. When Stevens went onto the ball he almost single handedly got them back into the game.

[Glenn]

Got to hand it to Choco (or is that Chokeo :P) brilliant decision to keep Wakelin on BBBBH , really top class coaching

[sharpie]

I think he's got them singing:

"We'll never stop, stop, stop, till we DROP,DROP,DROP!"

Coz that's the Port Adeliade tradition!

[Rob-bloods]

We've got the Power to lose
The Power to freeze
A TRUE Port Adelaide tradition...

[Sanecow]

I can't wait to hear Chokeo say "We went easy on the Swans"!

[Schneidergirl]

On 'the winners' last night, it was all about Port choking and the upset that Sydney has caused.

Why can't the media stop taking it away from Sydney.

The Swans won, because they were the better side on the day. We can match it with anybody, we have proved that this year!

Port would have thought they had the match wrapped up last week. Little did they know....

Because if you have ability then you do not get down by 42 points unless you play poorly....that's like saying we did not contribute to Hawthorn's victory.

They were terrible, miles below their best. We were as good as we possibly could have been. If they had played near their best they would have been only 2 or 3 goals down at the long break.

I know Port played bad, we played better!

What I'm saying is why can't they just congratulate Sydney when due, instead of saying Port are chokers. It was all- Port this, Port that. They (Port) didn't step up to a game they thought they could win with their eyes closed.

Hope I'm not writing myself into a corner here.

Further to my last post.
Thought this was funny....

[anniswan]

that's funny where did you get it from

[Schneidergirl]

I don't know where it originated.
Will try and track down.
