But even they don't understand - Kornes is not biased towards Port, he is simply protecting Hinkley (and by association his brother). I don't recall any occasion where his media platform has given us any advantage at all.

Agree but I also think he is using us as a type of click bait as he also did with "his man" JHF. Thanks champ so glad we (read Stinkley) carried you to 300 so that you could exploit us for your own gain. P off t8urd and leave us alone. You have no loyalty to us imho

FFS when will it stop!! Today's press is reporting that Jay Schultz has briefed a lawyer. According to this morning's paper Schultz is claiming to have played 20 times after suffering a 'probable' concussion. It begs the question of Jay, if you had head issues that many times and were that concerned why didn't you pull the pin Jay? I would hazard a guess that at the time you deemed the 300k plus salary to be worth the risk.

Jay Schultz played seven seasons for the Power between 2010 and 2016 and concussion protocols were not introduced by the AFL until 2021. Schultz also played seven seasons for Richmond yet they barely rate a mention in the today's article. We cannot win, we are slammed in the media for not following the AFL protocols and now we are pilloried for not following protocols that did not even exist when Jay Schultz played for us. We deserve criticism for the first but the second is unfair.

Greg Griffen, that perpetual ambulance chaser, is all over the article giving us a retrospective history lesson on head injury assessment. It would be interesting to know if Adelaide United introduced any sort of head injury protocols while Griffen was running the show between 2010 and 2018? I should not be too tough on Greg Griffen as he is probably doing all this work pro bono.

None of this should under emphasise the impact of brain injury. It is a genuine concern and needs to be addressed but all this 'holier than thou' retrospectivitly on an issue that was hardly discussed a decade ago is hard to take.

Anyone in any doubt about the job the Murdoch Press is doing on the Port Adelaide Football Club should take a look at today's editorial in the crow loving rag. What do these morons expect- Port to be stripped of all Premiership points? The PAFC medicos made an error no one disputes that but 100K is not insignificant and we are unlikely to repeat.

After the game, Timmy G said he had spoken to the great man yesterday who told him that he not given any such interview

At least it won't have Kornes or McGuire, but Jamie Brayshaw? Pass.

 

[MrMeaner]

I really don't see how we need yet another football show. The ex-players might need it but we don't.

I really don't see how we need yet another football show. The ex-players might need it but we don't.

There is absolutely a market for an in depth tactical analysis show, ie an hour dedicated to breaking down one aspect of the game every week.

I think of something like David King pointing out last year that Sam Mitchell made sure his wingmen always stayed boundary side of Ed Langdon to nullify his influence (one of the few times King has had some genuine insight into tactical manuevres), and expanding that into an hour long dissection of the role of the wingman in modern AFL.

It will never happen, though, because it would a) take effort and knowledge to prepare and produce, and b) would not be marketable to the the wider AFL audience because such a show won't be topical, it won't have clickbaity headlines and won't touch on all, or even any, of the (big vic) teams every week.

Greg Griffen is a scumbag. Being an owner of nightclubs and a lawyer to bikies was a great combination for him in the early 90s. Lots of retail business opportunities combining those two interests.

I see his website no longer proudly lists keeping us out of the AFL in 1990 as one of his crowning achievements…

Cotchin and Selwood. The ducker and sniper show?

Oh Jeez...

Partner of former AFL player feels ‘sick’ as history repeats

‘Every two minutes he would do the same pattern, go to the mirror, (and say) ‘look at the scar’.

Sorry to drag up old news but the way this has played out in the media over the past 2 weeks continues to p$ss me off.

I wonder if Sam Mayes being the Football Development Manager at North Adelaide - the same club where Greg Griffin is a life member and club lawyer - has anything to do with this story surfacing.

(rhetorical question).

 

[agmsy]

Shout out to Jarrod Walsh for calling us "Port Power" at three quarter time yesterday.

 

[Interstater]

At least it won't have Kornes or McGuire, but Jamie Brayshaw? Pass.

Does this imply last drinks at the front bar?

 

[Finest of Wines]

Nathan Buckley says port power at every opportunity, it’s definitely a deliberate thing

3/4 time? It was the entire game. Was clearly a directive from the club.

Oops! Must not have been paying enough attention. I suppose it makes sense if they were trying to get into the spirit of "Retro Round", but even then it feels odd given how generally unhappy we are for anyone to use that name.

All those years spent correcting the media after the alliteration/branding mistake from the get-go.

“Never mind! Cash grab!”

Yeah I don’t get it either.

Shit I hope not. That show is genuinely funny imho - a rarity in AFL TV shows - and they do their homework.

 

[edgie]

Eddie McChins would be all over this if he still had a dog in the race. He'd be bringing up our media to not be called Port Power then seizing this to create further division and pushback on the One Club - PB.

 

[finbarr]

Can't help but feel like it's a little testing of the water for a partial club re-branding.
