    Fat Eddie's ambitions receive a right rogering.

    I'm not aware of either SA club having a problem with developing footy in Qld and NSW. There is no widespread, rusted on belief here that salary cap concessions are responsible for these clubs' success. Hence no opposition to the concessions continuing. Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon etc...

    Do you want a capable women to play for your AFL club

    I voted yes on this basis. It is a very few years ago that women in our armed forces were not allowed into combat situations. That is now past, or passing. Police cars now go out with not just a woman partnered to a man, but with two women. So if they want to do the job and are capable of...

    port clash jumper....

    I saw the jumper in action last night at the intra-club trial match at Alberton. Don't worry PAFC fans, it looked great. And lots of people had obviously dived into the merchandise shop to buy one because there were a fair number on the 3,000 or so people watching the boys in their hit-out.

    Aker doubts wobbly Pies/ Port chokers

    Firstly Akermanis must give 4-5 interviews a week. As a Brownlow medallist, 3 x Premiership player he is hardly an attention seeker, he has crediblilty. Secondly he speaks his mind on many issues and really isn't wrong that often. He is a bit 'out there' but IMO is refreshing. Thirdly...

    Caro gives mild criticism of Tigers

    Here in Adelaide we only hear from her on Talking Footy on Channel 7. Personally I find her well spoken and horribly well informed. I hope she never develops the contacts at Port Adelaide that she obviously has at Melbourne, St Kilda and carlton (amongst others). They can't fart there but she...

    Dr Suess Revisited.... Green Eggs and Ham Parody

    Well done again Tigeriffic. My mother read them to my kids for years and so I know the rhythms and lots of the passages. There is one I love about something like 'a tweedle betle battle in a bottle in a puddle.....". Give that one a go. Perhaps tying it in with the 2003 trade period and...

    Is your club's history relevant???????

    Strictly true (and I'm a paid up member of both), but the perception is different for many. I'm not sure if people outside SA have the slightest interest in this. But according to what I've read around 70% of the pre-1997 PAFC supporters followed the club into the AFL. However 30% didn't (a...

    Should Collingwood and Melb merge?

    another thread stuffed:o

    Should Collingwood and Melb merge?

    Sigh! The joke (such as it was) refers to Melbourne's recent history of making the finals every 2nd year combining wiith Collingwood's recent history of making the GF and being beaten. Apart from that though why would Collingwood want to merge with Melbourne? As the issue doesn't affect me...

    Should Collingwood and Melb merge?

    If they did merge would we have a team that made the GF every 2nd year and choked?

    Is your club's history relevant???????

    Nicely explained Port Adelaide 1870. It is a schizophrenic life we dual Port Adelaide supporters lead. I can go down to Alberton and drink a beer, nodding to the mural of Nathan Buckley as he was in the year he won the Magarey Medal. I can then saunter the few ks to AAMI Stadium to watch...

    Footy on Good Friday ???

    Yep, for me that says it all. I'm not religious and I love my footy. But upholding the tradition that respects the day is fine by me.

    SMFC now on Sydney Guernseys...

    Try 'wooing' them. If you 'woe' them nothing will help you. Why? Season tickets and memberships are separate for Port Adelaide and probably many other clubs. There are plenty who want to be members but because of age, distance from the ground etc can't get to the game. surely the Swans...

    SMFC now on Sydney Guernseys...

    I agree. It has probably taken Brisbane's astute and increasingly successful wooing of Fitzroy supporters to show the Swans how to do it. But now the way is open they are to be congratulated for moving on in this way. If this, and similar actions, results in a bigger Melbourne fan base and...
