There's that word again

"You've come to a working-class club. Um, we have to fight and scrap for everything we have, which we love."

Hearing Cassisi, shambling idiot that he is, regurgitate "widdle battler cwub" talking points makes me sick.

Self described "working class club" which turns over approximately $60 million per year, who just finished building a new $25 million facility and where the players are paid $13.5 million between them per year.

May be well out of the loop and a really dumb question, but i went to get tickets for Gather round v Bombers and it is saying no tickets left. Surely this genuinely wont be sold out...?

Don't board members get tickets?

A billionaire's bold plan could save this Australian industry icon but past broken promises have workers nervous

The stakes are again high for the steel town of Whyalla as a billionaire owner who has broken past promises looks to a green future.

The club’s casual pivot to portraying itself as Shinboners West or Central District+ continues to baffle.

What does it possibly achieve for the club and its fanbase, other than to provide a preloaded excuse to fail?

You just answered your own question. The preloaded excuse isn't an unintended side consequence, it's the point. If we didn't have excuses then failure would result in underperformers being moved on, and we can't have that.

Isn't Cassissi some sort of white collar person post retirement?

Real working class fella.

Runs his own finance broking business. Acts like a hot shot but he's hardly a captain of industry. A bit of humility wouldn't go astray.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The club is good at not paying 100% of the TPP and ASA's and not having contract clauses re passing on 100% of future TPP % increases from new media deals, put into player contracts, like most of the Vic clubs.

Maybe pushing the working class club among the players, helps put in their head ( and their manager's) that they can't max out contract deals like the wealthier clubs.

It’s just the nostalgia, it was pretty s**t.

I have made a list of Port guernsies, ignoring simple variations and “thirds”.

I have found 18 types (11 main; 6 clashes; 1 in-between):

Spoiler: List

source: https://www.footyjumpers.com/port.htm

NOTES:
a. Pre-AFL #2 may have not been official.
b. Pre-AFL #8 and #9 (specially #8) seemed to be too different. So, I didn’t consider them mere variations, but designs of their own.
c. I couldn’t consider the SBS to be a clash, even though it was. It’s my 3rd favorite after the PB’s and the current design.

I’m open to suggestions and comments.

You guys just don't understand.

You should be hype that Cassisi may well be the next star board member of the club.
