Only rubbish footballers buy into the "rah-rah-rah fire up boys, look what they said about us, they're a bunch of soft c----" garbage.

Port THRIVE off of the us against them type stuff..... but lets park that if we must.

He kicked a great goal sure, but his first reaction was to give it to the Port fans, rather than run and thank RT in particular for his ridiculous tap.

Josh Money is a charlatan and should be seen to be as credible as those "BIG THINGS COMING WEDNESDAY" people

Gotta admire Braden seeing the BS Money is serving up and immediately calling Draper for an interview to debunk him.

 

[daniel_4tw]

So… does this mean Port are giving up Houston to get a first round pick so they can trade in Lukosius? So a first round pick AND Houston for Lukosius???

I think the idea is they want 2 first round picks (one mid and one late) for Houston.

They trade the late one for Luko, and take the early one to the draft.

Then they trade in Perryman to replace Houston.

That’s their dream scenario for them anyway. Would think it overvalues Houston and Perryman looks to go to the Pies… but we’ll see what happens.

 

[jo172]

Huh feels a while since we had active fake news directed at us.

Nice to be kind of relevant again i guess?

And thats where IN PRIVATE, he shouldve had a few words said to him by senior leaders.
Celebrations are something I want to see more of, but get to your teammates too.

Not dropped and publicly shamed.

Agreed. It’s under 16s stuff. ‘The other team thinks you’re no good! What are we going to say about that?!’.

You would think professional sports players dont need the ‘they don’t give us a chance, they’re tweeting about next week’ but here we are. Port do seem to play on emotion over tactics and that comes from Ken. Ever seen a coach do as many cartwheels as this guy after a win?

Gee they must regularly get emotional then as they finished top 4.

That result was a top 4 team in great form beat a bottom 4 side in a home showdown. Let's stop pretending a goal celebration or a joke on radio turned the tide here.

I 100% agree with that.

How we handled the aftermath was pathetic

 

[bigman]

As I stated in another thread the money man can get stuffed. Shortchanged us all with his misinformation. Get in the bin.

[tinman]

given arlo got screwed at the pies naturally they gonna be suspicious of all clubs but yeh maybe we said we would. i was surprised I admit when they had the pick for him and didn't. but seeing how he is in sanfl they clearly knew better

I don’t know if Arlo was ever on our radar. But I suspect that if we had drafted him, he’d still be on our list. We don’t turn our list over enough, and hang onto players too long.

They aren’t getting two first round picks for Houston, clubs in Victoria barely want to give them one this year given how strong the draft is. Perryman very likely to join Collingwood at this point too.

 

[crow2crow]

right now we are in a better place than port

IN luko
but no perryman, no houston, no dixon (cooked), no soldo, and probably no lord

depth will be tested

Saw the stuff about Lord, Collingwood interested?

Im not as worried about them as I am Hawthorn, Brisbane, Sydney etc

 

[crow2crow]

so we're top 4 then. thats an improvement still

 

[tinman]

The call that Josh Money obviously never made to fact check….

 

[Cromulant]

Saw the stuff about Lord, Collingwood interested?

There would be a few interested parties, got some talent.

 

[Crowked]

Port aren’t trading Lord
They have lost Dixon and it’s likely Marshall is done too. They need him too much.

I dont think Marshall is done.... yet

 

[GreyCrow]

So you can’t give an opinion on if we were to give up 25 for ANB?

If I was a Port fan, I’d be happy that my club was active every year and were trying to plug holes. Yes they gave up a lot but they are in the window and you’re going to give up more to try and get over the line. They finished top 4 they weren’t far off.

As for us, we brought in Burgess and finished 15th.

Who is doing it better?

We all slam Port and Davies but they get people who matter in. Players who PLAY in the 1st team not pluggers for our SANFL

It does seem the perceived arrogant negotiating by us has failed time after time after time

Now I dont know who is driving that but there should be change

If Im Silvers Im not allowing a section to police itself. If they do good let them be but if every board meeting the same '' we tried we really tried but Port gazumped us or they decided to go elsewhere what can we do '' then Im asking questions and reviewing positions

 

[Hate the pear]

Josh Money ?? Oh big time.

just windering- Was he The journo that reported burgess the fitness dude was going to Carlton?

Good. WE use our status to push up prices so its fair Port do the same to us

 

[crow2crow]

what if now we gesump pies so perryman can play with his mate?
