You can join myself and Rick from 8pm at https://www.spreaker.com/user/portfanradio as we review the loss to West Coast

Ask your questions here.

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Polec was caught in an almost identical incident (tackling high) against the Bulldogs a couple of rounds ago.

Does this suggest that Polec as an individual and the club as a while aren't doing enough to minimise this sort of contact and the associated frees against?

From memory without any stats to back it up we tend to lose the free kick count more often that not. Have we fallen behind other clubs in this regard? Are we undisciplined? Do the players not understand the rules? How has this affected the season?

 

[Cam1870]

Which Smith's song best captures what it's like supporting port right now....knowing you'll be at work in an hour surrounded by gloating crows.

 

[Pappagallo]

I'm sure they'll be plenty of questions filled with anger and despair coming your way so I'll refrain from adding another one.

What is it from this season that gives you hope that we can go all the way next season?

 

[Pommie power]

Has there ever been a more heartbreaking moment in your hole life.

 

[croweyrocks]

I still can't believe we plugged Westhoff to a defensive backup ruck role when we said we want our backup ruckman (Trengove) to be fwd/rucks. The reason we did that was to maintain constant structure in our back half so when Jackson went into the ruck we weren't undersized. Now we hit a final and do the exact opposite because we played with 1 less taller back so we had to plug a hole. I am still outraged!
Why can't these coaches just replace like for like? (Jonas out Trengove in at the same role).
I mean Darling looked like the 2nd coming of Wayne Carey in the 1st quarter ffs!

 

[Needs Gravy]

Is the current group yours players the best group the club has had coming through (as a collective group) since we moved to the AFL? To be able to add Johnson, Frampton, Drew, Snelling to the lads from Saturday gives me hope. Or am I clutching at straws.

 

[Janus]

Which was worse - Lucas Neill vs Grosso in Kaiserslautern or Polec vs Shuey at Adelaide Oval?

 

[Capital Power]

Has there ever been a more heartbreaking moment in your hole life.

Yep. 24 hours later when my NRL team did exactly the same thing from the same position

 

[Capital Power]

What do we need to do/change to be good enough for top four (and flag challengers) next year? Realistically we remain a level behind Adelaide, Sydney, GWS and even Richmond, and the 9-12 teams are improving.

 

[DonDraper]

If you could add one fast food vendor to Adelaide Oval, who would you pick?

 

[FishingRick04]

Don awesome question.

Sotos Fish and Chips!

 

[ZakLee]

If Jackson Trengove had been left as a defender and not tried to be made in to a forward do you think he would still be in the team and continuing his career at Port? Has his sacrifice for the coach and team cost him his career at our club? I am assuming that he will be moving on, which I understand may or may not happen still.

Macca conundrum: get to go to every game, can't actually go to any games though

Has his sacrifice for the coach and team cost him his career at our club? I am assuming that he will be moving on, which I understand may or may not happen still.

More on this: is there any reason Trengove couldn't have played as a defender rotating into the ruck instead of being shoehorned forward?

 

[MitchIn3D]

For a first year key forward, Marshall had a respectable game against the Eagles. Will he be a 20+ game player for Port next year?

On a related note, is Marshall's inclusion the catalyst for Dixon's recent spike in form, or was Charlie just fired up for finals?

 

[Eric Blair]

Who needs to be culled from our playing list and coaches box?

Do we need a Soviet Union 1930's style purge at our club?

PORT LIVES MATTERS!!!11!!!!

 

[Andre]

If our club was a Simpsons character, would it be Sideshow Bob? Only Port could get so many self-inflicted rakes to the face trying to just walk.

 

[Andre]

Does Broadbent have a place on this list anymore? In a cluster**** of a game our small defenders yet again were one of the shining lights. If not, what's his realistic trade value? And does the club have the balls to put him up for trade whilst contracted, or are we still meek as kittens? We don't know obviously yet, but hosts guesses.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Who is our on field second ruck next year?
If we don't get Motlop/Menzel/Rockie, does our list have the organic growth potential to cover our holes?

Is there a team that allows itself to be tortured by spuds more than Port? Petrie looked borderline AA against the AA ruck!

Do we exist to have other teams make history against us?

Is 41000 the worst finals crowd ever?

Can you gee us up with some hope for next year???
