Oisin Mullin has become Geelong’s third Irish recruit on its list, with the Gaelic star officially joining the club after turning it down 12 months ago.

He looks like he just heard that his au pair's visa got cancelled.

Looks like something is stuck up his clapper.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Seems the Hawks scandal and the brownlow scandal are having scheduling conflicts with pre-season training.

Funny how it disappears.

 

[Port 2004]

Every Victorian club in the AFL was a state league based club, we are just the only one outside of Victoria.

Nowhere near the same.

 

[JimmyBC]

Nowhere near the same.

They were all state league clubs you could even argue the Swans have state league dna.

The Sydney Swans are still South Melbourne from the VFL despite relocating to another state and going through private ownership. Meanwhile Port Power Football Club established circa 1996 have no connection to the PAFC that was a foundation club of the SNAFL other than stealing their phone number, herp derp.

And Brisbane has no connection to the Bears, 100% Fitzroy… when it suits.

Ssshhh. You don't want to awaken that tedious bore Roylion for some tedious semantics nobody cares about.

Their rationalising knows no bounds.

Amidst the Michalanney FS fiasco, I had multiple people attempt justify it by stating things like: ‘he has as much connection to the Crows as (Brett) Ebert did to Port Power’.

It’s like… what.

Haha. So much selective bullshit has been peddled by the PAFC haters on this. Of course the club that won the licence in 1994, being the Port Adelaide Football Club, then mysteriously disappeared into the ether to be replaced by some new club that had no association with the club that just won the licence. Makes perfect sense. Bunch of w***ers these people ie Grandpa Cornes and others.

for the Dees there today.. it's shite imo.

 

[JimmyBC]

Great little stadium btw something the Barossa needs.

 

[Grave Danger]

It's Daisy & Tayla Time

 

[raptalia]

So there is no ground in The Barossa that meets the AFL criteria for a magic round game and the AFL are now looking at Mt Barker. As Mt Barker is widely regarded as a suburb of Adelaide why not use suburban grounds anyway ? and I thought the idea was to showcase the State? I reckon SA will keep Magic Round for two years tops.

Im not sure there are many that are actually dumb enough to think this.

They do it to wind Port supporters up. If the club you supported didnt make it in to the AFL and all you had was a composite franchise like the camries to "support", winding up Port fans would be about the only thing left worth doing in footy.

Mt Barker is 40km from AO, so if the state government were going to have a big wine and food type tourism promo in the Barossa, they can do something similar for the Adelaide Hills producers in Mt Barker. They wont do the same sort of thing down The Parade.

The AFL sourced story says 'Tanunda, which has produced Port Adelaide great Justin Westhoff, remains a potential option if Mount Barker is deemed unsuitable.'

Why would you not look at Tanunda Oval (see pic below) in the first place if Nuriootpa is regarded as too narrow, Angaston surface unsuitable and you wanted a Barossa focus?

Murray Bridge Oval only has capacity for 1000 people and needs a lot of work on facilities to bring it up to standard anyway.

Reckon whoever is doing the commentary on this from AFL House has no understanding of Adelaide or its regions.

1000 people is all you will need for GC v Norths.

I still dont think many will travel. Given the lack of flights into Adelaide (look at flight costs at the moment) and its planned for the weekend after Easter…. Being school holidays is about the only thing that may save it.

I reckon SA got the nod as the best of a poor lot. I would have thought grounds would have been worked through before SA was given the magic round. I think most of the games will be played in Adelaide with a tourism keynote game played in a regional area. it is all a bit ad hoc atm.

What about Clare? Has hosted pre season games a couple of times.
