Would be great if he follows father's footsteps. Needs a bit of his father's attacking flair and cheeky dare, besides the extra weight and No7 though. Seems super talented but has played very safe and hasn't been an impact player, so far.

Bergman and Burton are my preferred options now they can be spared from defence. Nice kicks, good height and capable overhead, seems to have good mix of attacking and defensive attributes, good leg speed. One of the reasons I'm bullish regarding our chances in 2024 and why trading in a couple...

I'm genuinely looking forward to 2024. I'm optimistic that Ratagolea and Soldo in particular, will be good additions if they stay fit, and BZT should be handy. Players like Bergman and Burton can then use their versatility and play tall/small on flanks / wing. My only concern is whether we...

A club wanting to poach Duursma prior to trade period, would probably have needed to offer up a late 1st rounder & maybe more. So far, Port have been out maneuvered on the BZT deal. Personally I'm hoping we keep Duursma and still snare BZT somehow.

Duursma has been best 22 since he was drafted. Sure there's been form fluctuations, but he's had 2 significant injuries (with 6 to 12 weeks recovery times) that meant he had to come back through the reserves a couple of times, in recent years. The media seems to forget those when talking about...

yep ... just go to the pre-season draft for Esava. Fair chance no one will take him under terms Port offering. By all accounts Geelong are being unreasonable and bullying Esava. They drafted him but they don't own him for life!

Absolutely agree with this comment. I love my stats, and some are trotting out some great Fantasia stats, but my memory is sadly his stats are padded out by big games against easy opposition. His highlights are great but cannot be trusted to consistently deliver when it counts.

Stepped up when needed to be a fantastic captain. His conduct / attitude could never be faulted. Can't be easy when you're not the most talented player going around but was clearly team first, and made things easier for others. I honestly thought he was ripe for delisting around his 3rd...

Ollie Wines. Too bigger risk of Butter's or Rozee's performance dropping off with captain responsibilities which we can't afford. Surely Ollie is as ready as he'll ever be, if he wants it.

Hope we stop getting too far ahead of ourselves and go "all in" to win the game. Ever since we started "managing" players and chopping and changing lineup (against Carlton), we've lost our way. Crows had one focus last week (to win!) but felt like we didn't respect opposition enough and were...

yep. you came to same conclusion I did. I got an email from the club the Monday after the game and that basically confirmed tickets for Port Adelaide SANFL home games can't be purchased online on a one off basis - seems you need to buy a season ticket or similar

Hi All, does anyone know how you buy online ticket for todays game? I'm not a member, just moved to Adel a few weeks ago. Buggered if I can find any info / links on Port or SANFL website. I know you can pay at gate but aren't you supposed to be able to buy online at slight discount?

Beautifully said. Russell Ebert landing at Port Adelaide in the late 60s was a match made in heaven, as they say. Port's values / traditions helped shaped Russell's career/life and vice versa. Need to bottle this, and ensure the tradition continues. With the likes of Timmy Ginever, Travis...

Amazing, inspirational guy. One of the most deserving of the tag "legend". Port Adelaide FC and Russell were synonymous. As a young kid was privileged to watch him strutting his stuff in very early 70s. He was just so exciting zig-zagging around the centre. One handed pick ups, explosive...

hard understand why we were so keen to move Ladhams on. Davies said it would "take something significant". surely that wasn't shuffling 16 to 12 and gaining a future 3rd round. finlayson deal was completely independent of this trade. I'm looking forward to the explanation. looks like a...
