99% of small forwards are useless in sides that are being dominated in the air, aka Brian lake bringing the smack down in GF's. We are lucky we have the wingod of small forwards, if we make it to a GF my tip for the norm smith is chad.

Nope. Hamish Hartlett would be my tip. Already a Peter Badcoe VC medalist and showdown medalist, would be appropriate if we add norm smith medalist and premiership player to that list

I saw the perfect illustration of this last night when Foxtel played our last game v Freo. In the first quarter we sent it into marking contests in the F50 a gazillion times and bar one mark for Schulz out in the NW pocket their tall defenders dominated. Will watch the rest of the game tonight, hope we win.

Oh.. we lost the first quarter but ken sorted them out at quarter time lol
I have been watching our games on my PC between 2013 - 2015
 
Whilst I did and still do drink to excessive and inappropriate levels and behave in a rowdy and drunken manner, I've never once disrespected anyone who has asked me to calm down, or move along. Playing for Port Adelaide is a right that has to be earned, not a privilege that gives you the right to do whatever you want. Its possible it was tongue in cheek but I still don't like.

Being drunk and letting hair down should not be an excuse or reason for being a dick. Dixon copped a bigger whack for a quiet drink of red in the hotel room.

People bemoan about the problems with Aussie culture and specifically drinking culture, then brush behaviour like this away in the same breath with excuses.

FYI, pretty sure he has moved out now.

Apparently he was living with another Power player who got delisted and moved back to Melbourne... I had no idea there was 2 of them there. I am not quite sure who it was, very curious now.

He was living with Sam Russell! Have they both moved out now?
 
Family day scratch match Karl wheels onto his left and laces out a 50m pass to a moving target
that doesn't even have to break stride. Baulking up nicely and more to come hopefully.
Definite keeper for my money. Got punished last yr for taking some short steps so now knows the non negotiables.
From where he has come from in callipers as a 10yr old to now is awe inspiring stuff.
He's going to be a beauty for us, I rate him bigtime.
 
I use British English "baulk" not US'glish "balk" ;)

I hope that Amon is bulking up. :)
While we are being a grammar Nazi ;), if one more person uses the words 'stepped foot' instead of 'set foot' .....:mad::mad:.
There, got that off my chest. :)
 
Karl is pretty good overhead too and a beautiful kick. Those extra muscles I saw in yesterdays pics will give him more confidence
to impact the contest.
I was surprised to see the size difference between Karl and Chad when watching a PTV clip today. Perhaps Chad wasn't standing straight but even so Karl appears to have more upper body weight and is 2 years younger.
