    News Paddy Ryder charges dropped

    Much of the reporting has been typical media - flouting contempt of court. Check the section on 'publishing matter likely to prejudice a fair trial ' at this site, which gives a good summary: https://www.thenewsmanual.net/Resources/medialaw_in_australia_03.html Articles like this are in murky...

    List Mgmt. List management for 2016

    Perhaps not the best phrase but it just shows you how much AFL players earn. The average AFL player salary is now well over $300,000. As a rookie, Krak's base salary was about $55,000. The average full-time wage in Australia is $74,724 before tax according to the ABS. No doubt Krak's upgrade to...

    List Mgmt. List management for 2016

    So that's about one-third of the average salary that senior listed AFL players are on ($300,000+).

    Mega Thread The Port Store Mega Thread

    Looks like the Port Store is taking part in the Amex Shop Small promotion this weekend, which gives you a $10 credit on minimum $20 spend. Obviously, you need to pay with an American Express card.

    Opinion Travis Boak

    His answer to "can you win?" was so sad to hear. Totally lacking any belief. It was exactly the same from the players in the open training session before the Swans game. A supporter: "Gonna win tomorrow...?" (Long pause). "We're gonna try..."

    Review Round 20 vs Sydney

    What does David Koch think of all this? Well, he did send out a tweet this morning promoting "Kochie's 5 step Financial Fitness Challenge" and he's wearing his Sydney Kings top. :eek: Makes sense, they're better built than our team.

    Opinion KENs the man to take us to our next FLAG!

    Anyone got Gary Ablett Jr's email? Maybe he can explain the difference between the right basic drills and the wrong ones.

    Opinion KENs the man to take us to our next FLAG!

    The problem is they're not all elite or even close to Robbie Gray. There's a lot of kids and that's clearly who Gary Ablett Jr was talking about. He reportedly has some 'interesting' views but I don't think this one was all that outrageous. By the way, I think Ken is the right coach for us -...

    Opinion KENs the man to take us to our next FLAG!

    Apparently Gary Ablett Jr took a swipe at the lack of basic skills training during the Gold Coast Suns' formative years on Footy Classified (full interview to be shown on The Footy Show). It was taken as a clear criticism of Guy McKenna but I'm not sure it reflects that well on Ken given he was...

    Roast The media....*Shakes Head* Part 4

    For those who need a refresher on basic behavioural standards post 1970s-Australia: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-13/afl-commentator-slammed-for-homophobic-slur/5592660 Of course, this has now just happened in Adelaide so... don't expect any accountability.

    Mega Thread The Port Store Mega Thread

    I'd take it up but the Energy Australia 'Power Plan' doesn't seem to be offered outside of SA. Bit disappointing for all the talk of Port Adelaide being a national brand.

    Mega Thread Hot Topic - Drugs and AFL

    And the group think continues according to this ABC article... worked really well for Heppell so far. Why change now. And the naivety of the poor parents. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-13/essendon-bombers-players-devastated-by-cas-decision-jobe-watson/7086722

    SANFL clubs want no more footy at alberton and restrict afl listed players

    Exactly. Port is now much stronger on every metric than it was in 2013. The departure would hurt the SANFL far more than Port, particularly with a careful plan to maintain and strengthen our community football ties independently of the SANFL.

    SANFL clubs want no more footy at alberton and restrict afl listed players

    September 2013, KT's revealing speech. "The overwhelming feeling from them [every SANFL club except Centrals] was you've got to decide whether you want to be an AFL club or an SANFL club - you can't have your cake and eat it too - I heard that many, many times." Incredibly, the other club...

    Opinion Butcher

    I think Ken summed up a lot in his press conference, which is worth watching. Q - He's got everything apart from that kicking. Ken - So he hasn't got everything? Q - Everything else.. the fundamentals of that kicking, do you just work with what he's got and try and get the best out of it...
