Vossy got overruled by the list manager. I’d say given the Blues are cherry ripe in the window, the Blues list manager needs to be sacked more than Cripps.
Go back and read what he said. If he was coached then I’d back 90% of this board to do better.
All he had to say was it was a split second decision and he acted in self defence, instead he acted like a deer in headlights and said words to the effect of “I don’t know”.
I’ll choose to believe...
No but they did lose GAJ (not a trade) but that loss was partly offset by the rigged Motlop compensation. So basically they never lose when a player leaves. It’s quite remarkable for a small town club.
Remember the outrage when they lost Leigh Colbert. In exchange they picked up Cam Mooney and...
He gave his own testimony and it was embarrassing. I agree though that the obvious lack of coaching from club lawyer as to what Houston should have said is yet another stain on the place.
Barrett has his biases but he certainly has gone hard at Hawthorn over the racism saga, something the VFL would love to be swept under the rug.
I actually see Barrett as one of the more likely journalists to call out league BS. He often has a special place for the league at the end of his...
I do not think the Soldo and Esava deals were good. I think the deal was necessary at the time, I think the deal was reasonable at the time, and I think with the benefit of hindsight, the trade has likely turned out to be poor (we are still not in a position to quantify what it is in terms of...
Port got appropriately compensated for the losses of Burgoyne, Polec and Wingard. At the time I was furious to trade Polec and Wingard but the club got it right.
I'd suggest the worst trade blunder in the clubs' history is not moving Lobbe to Footscray for pick 11 which I think became Charlie...
Collingwood, like Geelong, Richmond and Hawthorn, are arrogant and entitled football clubs. But they can hold this position because the league panders to them. Port will never get the same level of favouritism, particularly whilst the board is league controlled. The fact that there are three...
I’ll enjoy the ride. He’s an entertaining package if nothing else. And if there’s one thing we should all be taking away from decisions being made by this farcical league and gutless club, you should only watch it and invest in it for entertainment, because there is no integrity or accountability.
On this trading stuff I stand with Chewy.
What I don’t understand is why Cripps and/or Davies tells you so much. The messaging is not resonating in here but I think that’s because fans see footy players as commodities moreso than actual people. Looking at my own circumstances and I’ve told...
I couldn’t bring myself to delete my account so did the dirty boom tish
Seriously **** the current version of Port Adelaide and **** the biased, corrupt and woke league.
The SUNS would have been scrambling to land Houston, don’t kid yourself. Noble would have then been surplus to requirements, Port would have been appropriately compensated unlike the deal with Collingwood. Port might have also landed Perryman as Collingwood might not have had an opportunity to...
Hopefully a kid or two you listed becomes part of the midfield rotation. I don’t know much about Fonti. Bedford might even be able to be that small defender. He’s already reinvented himself once and won’t need to tag every week.
My attempt at the best 22. ALWAYS list forwards at the top, do NOT follow the ridiculous Victorian approach of listing defenders first.

Probably all club directed narrative; remember he was asked to lie about not wanting to leave after all the innuendo. That was pathetic by the club to put him in that position.
Did Collingwood have a F1 / F2 that could have been part of the deal? I tend to side with the view that you let the bloke that wants out go, but surely the club had to milk more in draft capital from Leppitsch.
If Houston and not Rioli had nominated the SUNS, I am certain the SUNS would have handed over the same as what was given up for Rioli, if not more.
What Port gave up for Lukosius was a fair trade. I dispute Lukosius as being dumped. He just didn't really want to be there and Hardwick could...
