Preview 2025 Goodbye (To 2026) New; Preseason Discussion

[JimmyBC]

Yea I couldn't give a shit give 10 to Dougie when the time comes, as for Boak some fresh air was needed for both parties he probably should've chosen a better club than Carlton (for his own growth) but they'll probably dig the human firstery horseshit over there like the kings of failure they are.

People bitching for the sake of bitching because a couple of people they don't like are still around.

I reckon some would still find something trivial to complain about when those people are gone too.

And you and dav3 would complain about two or three people complaining & the nauseating cycle plods on.

Who played with which number, for how long, how many games they played for the club is important to the fabric and the history of the club it all contributes to the character and the characters of the club.

Without this we are just another AFL club. We should be see ourselves as more than just another AFL club.

 

[bomberclifford]

We exist to document the number of games players play wearing particular numbers.
It's what separates us from all the other clubs that do the exact same thing.

 

[malcheski]

Jumper numbers, outside of the No.1 - are generally meaningless.

You may have an association of a player with a number, or an affinity of a particular number and follow players that wear it, but the only metric of jumper numbers we should ever track with pride is premiership's won in said number.

 

[raptalia]

Why does it matter that Boak's old number is having a year off? Who gives a shit.

It is not Boak's number it is Ian Hannaford's. That is how far back in time I go.

 

[240volt]

I guess who wear’s what jumper for how long becomes more of a talking point when you haven’t had any serious success for over 20 years.
These sort of trivial things come more to the forefront when a team has endured long term failure.

STRATEGIC PLAN KPI 1: GIVE A SHIT

 

[Jonts]

I reckon we should retire Jeds number too since we are retiring numbers for people who didnt win shit.

Jed won our hearts

G'day Who. Are you still on first?

 

[Janey]

Usually I’d agree but I doubt many people would have had an issue with him being a development coach/mentor for young players to help fast track them into understanding what is required to be an AFL player.

Personally I think career-wise it’s better for him to go and experience things at other clubs anyway, just for his own benefit. But if you think that there wouldn’t be quite a few on this board that would have a problem with him staying at Port, I'm not sure you've spent enough time around here.

We should hang his number on a giant guernsey behind the goals.

I’ve read the board for ages, but made an account recently. Good point, some of the things I’ve read on here make me wonder how some people get their shoes on the right feet each morning.

Not easy mate!

 

[Zakk Wylde]

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I recall we actually rated well for moving the ball from backline to forward line last season, so I'm okay with keeping Rozee at half back.

The shorts have sure changed a lot over the years.

 

[PJ Power]

Moss is a specimen.

 

[Tibbs]

Hell, Moss looks a unit! My sympathies for the track!
