So will the "Potential to injure" get a run in Dangerfield's MRO case?
I see the media are arguing the Byrnes quickly got up and played on so he should avoid a suspension.
But that potential is off the charts when it comes to choosing to bump and the elbow slipping up.
Potential to injure Geelong's chances
 
3 home games in a row for Freo and then Richmond.

Meanwhile, after going to Brisbane, we have Freo and GWS away.
We continue to get screwed in the early fixtures just like last year.
I'd rather cop that when we are rebuilding than when we are genuinely pushing for finals. They'll change it up again once opening round becomes something for every club and they play 24 rounds in a season (or get two byes).
 
Oh well they obviously didn't think there was any potential for injury on that one.
The AFL are maddeningly inconsistent on when they pull the potential for injury card but (unpopular opinion) I don't mind this ruling

The official line is that if you elect to bump you are accountable for any resulting injury (which he should be very thankful didn't happen). The fine is consistent enough IMO, even if it means that flog gets off relatively light

Harley would get 3.weeks
 
So I saw Port did a big thing for Bok after he broke a club games record. 393 games for the club. Looked at the AFL games records and it says he’s on 373 games. Are they counting his preseason and SANFL games?

Such a typical Port Power move tbh and I really shouldn’t be surprised but it’s still funny af

Think they counted preseason games

They've counted 'games for Port Adelaide' so I assume that is any time he's played an official match for Port Adelaide, be it at AFL or SANFL level.

FWIW the AFL counts pre-season games as official AFL games so I dare say that's included too.

Given Russell Ebert never got to play an AFL game for Port Adelaide it makes sense.

Yeah the broadcast was very clear to say “games in a Port Adelaide jumper” a few times, so it’s clearly SANFL appearances too.

I know that and I knew Ebert never played AFL but celebrating Preseason and SANFL games is stupid. He is the current games record holder for port in the AFL and thats what should matter

It’s a tough one. The vic teams celebrate VFL shit so I can understand why Port would want to do the same. Even though they’re different clubs (aren’t they?)

I hate Port as much as the next reasonable bloke but respect where it is due, they are the oldest professional football club in Australia. Being the player that has represented them the most at all levels is a pretty decent achievement.

Their SANFL side may only be an AFL reserves team now, but they have such a rich history in that competition so it 100% makes sense to include that.

Late edit: Turns out they haven't included any SANFL games, it's just his 373 AFL appearances and 20 pre-season matches (only in the official Community Series/NAB/Wizard Cup though)

It's no different to how we got Gaff and Darling to AFL life membership last season, because AFL include pre-season and representative matches in that as well.

They were, but not anymore.

The original PAFC left the SANFL to join the AFL in 1997, and a new club called Port Adelaide Magpies was made so they'd maintain a presence in the SANFL. They were initially two separate clubs (legally), but I think it was around 2010 when they merged and became a single operation again.

For anyone who cares:

Yeah the membership thing is ok but having a whole event/build is a bit silly imo


Also port can get ****ed regardless
