told his kids to google him, and the 300 game bulldogs player came up instead hahaha

haha Kane Cornes giving JHF his jumper and gives him a hug.

Would have been classic if they could have wrangled Dave Granger to present the #18. Guess that was a bridge too far

Given Cornes's continual trolling on behalf of JHF, he was the next best option.

I hadn't thought about these two wearing the same number before, thanks for the chuckle.

Just imagine for a moment it's was possible to somehow, NOT need to outnumber the oppo constantly in defence to win. By like, recruiting and picking tall defenders. Maybe I'm talking crazy here, but could something like that work?

Or perhaps if you're going to run with a short defence strategy, that you recruit and pick hypermobile, agile, quick mid sized defenders so they could actually make contests and outnumber.

But nah, we could go the worst of both worlds with short, lumbering old bastards as KPPs (bar one), get pantsed in defence and still play a s**t style because we need eleventy blokes behind the ball.

To be fair is that what we did in this most recent draft? Marshall and McCallum are decent size and are quick and athletic.

Unfortunately you can’t reap what you sow in the draft straight away but we tried to get a quick fix in Ratugolea from Geelong but that fell through at the 11th hour.

Pasini is back from injury too this year, hopefully he surprises.

Then there is the question mark in what we do with Finlayson. Too good to leave out but at full strength I’ve got no idea where he actually fits, defence seems like a good option to me.

Our options aren’t as bleak as you’re making out.

When you're looking to recruit Esava Ratugolea as a KPD stopgap, and you don't even pull it off, 2023 is officially bleak.

and Roger Delaney played and their foot skills were so far ahead of most of our current AFL list it’s not funny.

Chad thought he was gonna get drafted by West Coast on the day of the draft.

I have nothing but respect for Chad Cornes, to not make the second 18 in year 11 at school and have the career he had is outstanding.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Jonas says due to our smaller defence, we want to outnumber the oppo in the backline.

Turned it off during the Hinkley/Jonas interview it’s just the same meaningless dribble every year.
Those players need a new voice

 

[VineValerian]

All inductees were rippers

Told my son I thought Roger and Pickets were chances due to their numbers of flags.
We both thought Chad would get in.

He suggested Light, Woite, Anderson and Francou as well.

Was pleasantly surprised the Board that got us to the Big Show were honoured too. Thoroughly deserved.

Something to finally revel in and savour, after interminable periods of **** and feeling stale, and fuming that the club had lost it's mojo, and it's awareness of what we are here for - on field success!

Well played PAFC

Wasn’t really the fault of the club that fell through though. Our defence has actually been our strength in recent years. It’s not all doom and gloom.

Our tall backs have been the weakest link for us for many years. Our 'strength' at times in recent years has been midfield pressure and pushing back to outnumber. When our mids are off you know we're done because Allir can't cover the better teams talls all by himself.

Playing a shit defensive team game plan and not conceding much is not the same as a strong defence.

Four past greats and group of influential administrators elevated into the club's Hall of Fame

Peter Obst, Rohan Smith, Roger Delaney, Chad Cornes and the Board of Directors and Chief Executive responsible for securing Port Adelaide’s AFL Licence have been recognised with inclusion in the club's Hall of Fame, while seven new recruits were presented their guernseys.

Whether afl or sanfl level, Roger was the best kick of a football i’ve seen in my life. Phenomenal skills. Insanely good defender. My 2nd favourite player ever. Deserved to be in the HoF ages ago.

Rohan as well, what a joy to watch, kicked some amazing goals on the run and was always consistent.
