As a Port supporter, you get yahoos in every fan base, and it looked to me like this numbskull was vocally deriding either the team,or M. Crouch himself. Shouldn't go any further IMHO.... As for Tex, I hope he plays on next year, he's been a great player for the Crows. Wishing Izak all the best.

[@doedoe9307]

pc nicksy preferring to play the safe game rather than lighting fire on the long dampened crows bonfire. how can we get the motivation to win consistently when we roll over and take hits from our arch-rivals?

[@seashoree1]

Ah yes the old dumpster fire, the great motivator to end your season on

[@Michael-2Australia]

Nick's isn't a senior coach , hope they don't waste years with him.Nice guy , but not strong enough, lacks judgement,sits on the fence, doesn't back himself in !!! fantastic assistant coach...

[@Officially.J31]

It’s always talk but it doesn’t happen on the field, what is Murphy still doing in this team and u want to drop rachele. Dowling was strong in the afl and he got dropped. There’s always these end of year reviews and nothing really happens everyone is backed but there’s never results it’s been 7 years since the last finals appearance and if we don’t want to end up Like essendon we better fix up pretty fast. Another thing is Sam Mitchell came in too the hawthorn expecting to have a long rebuild but what he did was very unique, he experimented with players. Playing players that would actually effect the group he brought characters in to club and that’s all you’d ever need so this club will need a big change. A BIG PRESEASON HAS TO BE DONE. 12:05

[@jeffreysteelflex8155]

Nicks should’ve been omitted not rachele who is our future, this club has turned into a laughing stock. Watching young teams like hawthorn playing a finals brand and playing finals makes me angry how incompetent this club has gone

[@jkandte]

Yawn, we are going nowhere.....

[@steveallen648]

That team, they are going to a Brisbane and win three or four premierships in a row...Lost seven games by less than three goals...If they won them all they would be on top the ladder...The showdown was the first time they did not compete until the end but I cannot blame them...what they saw done to Ranken...it would of done most players heads in but I am sure they learnt from this.

[@LP004]

Port fans proving their fragility for getting the cops on Crouch for flipping a cap after they got in his face

[@blade5883]

Poort fans feral af

[@el-violador]

Good to see our tax payers dollars going into police investigations against flipped hats and Centrelink payments that go towards Port season tickets

[@daniel-hz8rd]

some crows fans as well it seems. a crows supporter gave their mascot a bloodied nose and gets in no trouble... every club has ferals...

[@Sunflowerlightt]

Unprofessional . It was a disgrace to watch.

[@steveallen648]

Look at ALL the Port fans clapping as soon as it happened....Look what they did to Murphy in the showdown that Dawson kicked the goal after the siren...Murphy had just come back from a serious neck injury and where did they get him...They got his neck...This behaviour is engrained into Port...Port were always known as dirty team in the SANFL and now we're seeing it in the AFL...All Houston got was five weeks...What is it going to take, a players death from a dirty unlawful hit before players like Houston get a six month ban and the footy club gets a huge fine...I mean HUGE...no wonder the Crows were stunned and distracted and let the game go....not even a free kick...Houston you are a disgrace and so are you Port Adelaide!

[@ShaneDavis-c5e]

very unmanly these crow supporters. ... all sit down to piss

[@notorioushsg1]

There can be NO slow starts or stupid defensive stragegy early 2025 Nicksy!

[@jkandte]

he's got no clue, 2025 will be exactly like this year again....

[@steveallen648]

What do you know. I bet you struggle to get out of the armchair and to the fridge and back. If you can do better than Matthew then put your hand up and have a go!

[@notorioushsg1]

@@steveallen648 Mate... I've got kids to do my bidding. I don't get up from the armchair. That's why you HAVE kids! As for having a go... I'd rather sit in this armchair and yell at the TV thank you very much!

[@steveallen648]

@@notorioushsg1 horses for course buddy. What floats your boat. I imagine being an afl coach to be like a slug crawling on the edge of a razor blade. It takes guts to be one. It’s easy to criticise but what does that achieve? I think Mathew and his staff have done a great job. Apart from the showdown we were in every game. Let Mathew Nicks be Mathew Nicks and that group of players will truly fly high.

[@notorioushsg1]

@@steveallen648 I’m just joking bud. Honestly though, it did appear we came out with a different game plan early in the season that was defensively minded. It didn’t work and cost us dearly.
