I’m reminded of a call into AA earlier in the year after a loss. Stated that port won’t win a premiership until it’s under a member elected board.
Man was spot on the money.
Anyone who thinks the collective board have any ounce of respect for the members and people who built the foundation of...
It surprised me for all preseason Westhoff trained with the defenders but has played primarily in attack - it’s no surprise we were going to be undersized - why we didn’t push westhoff back and play georgiadis as the third tall was odd imo
As for next week we need burton ASAP - he’s our...
My favourite Hombsch memory.
Watching him butcher a 2017 game against the bombers, then proceeding to go on a date with a girl who liked Port.
She was pretty quiet and I was passionate so I ragged on how bad he played and how I saw him out of the club in 18 months.
She whispers, he's my...
Last month, a source close to the club told me after a night of drinking (and how true this is I don't know, but it was interesting), that Port were expecting a charge from the Hawks. The plan was 15 + Burton. Ken then approached Cyril Rioli a few weeks before the trade period and offered him a...
I'm more in favour of having two first rounders; hedging your bets on one player can be risky. I know it's top heavy talent, but don't underestimate those who go later in the second round.
Ideally, (conceding we've lost Polec), Lycett, Pick 10, (possibly) 11, 23 and 30 really give us some...
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but i'd prefer the club stayed away from Lycett. 26 year old, who looks good in a good team but really hasn't set the world alight until finals. I worry that we will stunt the development of Hayes (who looks a really likely sort) and Frampton (who I see playing the...
This may be some promising list management. Eddy onto the rookie list whilst we develop another forward who we draft. Knowing we have Dougal on the sidelines recovering from injury! SANFL have Eddy, Frampton, and Drafted Forward developing with one of those able to break into the AFL side...
I would love us to mould Frampton into a tall forward/ruck. In the end, happy enough given that we started with 9 and ended with four picks in the top 30 odd.
Reports, from Mitch Cleary and Trade Radio, that Ah Chee wants to join his bro at GC. Can't see him being worth a second rounder, but could we sweeten the deal with Ah Chee and our third rounder for GC pick 22?
If it came between Vardy or Black, i'd probably go with Black given he has at least proven some value at AFL level in 2013-14. And Trengove can easily fill that second ruck role.
Let's put this into some context. We played without an established ruck and neither Hampson nor Maric had a sizeable impact on either contest this year - not even named in the best players. Sure they gave us a 'towel up' in hitouts, but hell, so did every other team in the competition.
My hypothetical trade for the day:
I wonder if we could do a four-way trade with Carlton, North and the Giants - seeing Marchbank wants to go to the Blues, and Giants want their first rounder, and with North seeing interest in Tuohy:
------
Carlton: Zach Tuohy to North for pick 29
Port...
Re. Vardy. You'd be better off to save pick 99 for an untried lottery ticket forward than an chronically injured player who's form's been terrible at VFL. And before anyone says he's got potential, so too does each player in the draft, hence they're in the draft!
With White hopefully back in business next year we've got Polec and maybe even Wingard who can circle through the midfield on a wing. If a decent offer came that way then maybe, but i'd prefer to keep Amon.
Rekindled my account after 7 years, so thought i'd throw my two cents in. Whilst hindsight is a wonderful thing, some of the worst ways we crucified ourself as a club was at the end of last year - the offers for HH and Lobbe followed by the "piss your pants" moment to sign them to long...
Re: Create an AFL Guernsey
Thanks for helping me on this. This is the team I made like the Under 18 NSW/ACT Rams but this is the ACT Rams. This would be their away strip. copywrite 2009 dirtdiver. Hey Tomo
