Four Big Announcements Leading into Xmas 2015

[Papa G]

Considering it has been reported that SA wont get a side, this is quite underwhelming. Unless of course the club knows we are getting a team and therefore it is a good announcement.

 

[DaTBird187]

That is of Trollecian proportions.

 

[Andre]

With all the press about Wingard signing hopefully the club doesn't 'waste' tomorrow's present on that.

I swear the club is just out to troll Bigfooty this week though.

On the announcement itself, given the AFL is not going to have an SA side in the short term, it's just a nice plug during the time Memberships are renewed or decided upon, to all those ladies supporting Port that we are the club to throw your support (money / Membership) behind. Smart timing for marketing purposes, even if we feel a bit deflated from a 'Yes! Another contract extended' point of view.

exactly.. or we are putting our case forward and gauging general public, supporters, reaction to it?

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I think it's a funny troll.

Not sure if it's a well-advised troll, in terms of how annoyed a lot of the Port fanbase will be now.

Edit: Plus it sort of jokes up Erin Phillips' "commitment". A negative reaction to something that should be a positive story is definitely possible.

Trolled

Is it April 1st?

 

[I Dont Care]

I think it's fun

This is the equivalent of our pre-AFL fights: the league wants to exclude us but if we can show we're this serious, we can force a way in. Power politics.

Its the most Port Adelaidey thing this offseason

We haven't even got the license from the AFL yet, how is this big news? What a massive let down.

If we actually had a womens team it would be great news but so hypothetical

This is a move toward making it happen, guys.

Maybe an attempt to pressure the AFL to show we can attract professional womens athletes and properly want a team

 

[mic59]

The Boak and Gray contract extensions were newsworthy for anyone who follows this great club. Although I am sure we all offer our congratulations to Erin Phillips the whole thing's starting to smack of struggling for news stories in the silly season.

Indeed

[manureid]

Is she still playing Basketball? Would she forego that to play in the Womens AFL?

 

[I Dont Care]

Maybe it's the AFL that the club are really trolling

 

[Nelso]

Can we-gift this Xmas present?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Wahahahahaha, this is so bad it's good.

One things for sure, no Wines as Wingard will be tomorrow. Unless there is a double announcement.

Big step in the right direction for a womens footy league though.

 

[Willsy10]

How much is this going to cost us if we do in fact get a side, we only just recorded our first profit since 2007. Hopefully the AFL is funding most of it because I can't see it taking off. I'd rather we invested in our men's team.

 

[Pappagallo]

If we actually had a womens team it would be great news but so hypothetical

The AFL would love the idea of having an Olympian and WNBA championship winner in the competition. It'd be hard to find a better way of boosting the new comps profile.

Gives us a real edge for getting the license over Radelaide as well.

 

[Smithy7]

It sure was an anti climax .. we don't even have a woman's team .... so I give this a
I want news on our AFL Players ..........................................................................

 

[manureid]

Probably should have been the day 1 announcement.

Trollec back at his best
