Let's talk Ports!

[Andre]

I remember there were some rumours that the crows were trying to get Paul Stewart before he re-signed with us on a multi-year deal.

As well as David King saying we were set to offer 1.2mil to Tex Walker.

This makes me cry. Twice.

 

[Doctor Feel]

So, with Nathan Bassett in the bag. Say he gets the defence portfolio. The Jasper Pittard question, how would he handle it? I'm literally riveted to see what he can do there.

 

[edgie]

Gee, Westhoff only getting a fine is ridiculous, thought he was gone for sure. A rare rub of the green from the MRP.

Balanced out however by the WTF Trengrove fine, but also free to play.

One thing's for sure, Jasper's anus would be quivering at the news.

We have confirmation?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Port made a big offer to Tony Modra as an uncontracted player when we went in. Mods told Bucky My life is hard enough in Adelaide and I play for them. Can you imagine what it would be like if I left and played for Port?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

he aint going anywhere. Top Level Players players simply dont move between port and the crows. I think its cos adelaide is too small and they know the crap they will cop from the pissants

FTFY

I didnt think Westie would get games for it, and I was surprised that some here did! Its all about the the result or outcome now, so if Cameron had to leave the field with concussion the Hoff would be gonski! No injury or concussion, it just becomes rough play! Awesome, we want to protect players' health, but we dont want to completely sanitize the game of strong tackles. But its a risk the tackler takes, because he cant really fully control what the players head will do, whether he gets concussion or not.

These stats are very interesting when you ask the question, why?

This year we have given up far too many "easy goals" from either torching the ball, overcomitting or poor defence. To concede only 30 more scoring shots but 33 more goals to me just says we have let them get 20 out dead in front or over the back too many times.

I really thought our defence was worse than 30 more scoring shots to be honest.

Some players suffer concussions differently. Some might have history. Grading based on outcome is stupid. On action, Hoff shoulda been gone. We got lucky.

Move him upfield, make him someone else's problem .

A player can only play the whistle, his career may depend on doing so. Imagine if someone like Mitchell let go in a tackle showing due care and the player ran on and set up a score. It could be career ending for him, the umpires need to blow up when the player is held just like in league.

What's all this Bassett talk? I'd love to get him to the club? Do the rumors hold any truth?

If Jaspers character is anything like I think it is, I reckon he would relish it. I'm still in the camp backing him in, and think its still a case with him of pulling back ever so slightly in the risk v reward balance. I would certainly rather him stuff up taking the game on than going into his shell.

I'll be honest, I've been interested in getting him into our coaches box for a long time, in part because of his ability to put structures in place (what he did at Norwood) and the development he seemed to be able to put into players... his perceived weakness in terms of saying what he thinks and putting noses out is well known and opens up a slight risk in terms of box dynamics, but I'm willing to risk it and hope the rumours are true. I still think he will one day coach a side somewhere.

The following is from 2010:

Bass will have a better coaching career than anyone you curreny have sitting in your box assisting Neil. He has solid philosophies about the game and in my opinion a better understanding (in a coaching sense) than the likes of Bickley hart noble Clarke etc.

He also has the guts to put it to the test in a senior role. I'd gladly take him on our panel - or at some point if he develops like I expect him to, to take him as an assistant.

Jasper needs to work on a few things including his goal kicking. The forward line wouldn't give him the space
to use his pace but the wing might suit him.

So, my brother and his mates are doing the Route 66 thing.

They're in Texas and came across Cadillac Ranch public sculptures: half-buried Caddy's covered in graffiti.

When in Rome, grab a spraycan and...

I agree and I have no problem with it, the same as I would've had no problem with Hoff getting a week or 2 had that been the decision.

I'm tempted I guess. Just a little.

Go on do it.
