Congrats to all Pies fans and a thoroughly deserved 16th flag, a great year, finals series and GF. Clearly the best team all year and watching the high octane team defence and creativity to score is how football should be played.

Yeh, the Port home finals losses of recent times is a conundrum and Port fans are better placed than me to comment. However, i’m not sure how much is home pressure, system or players but it needs to be addressed. GWS are well placed, but won’t be easy against the Pies at home, let’s hope it’s a...

Same here, jumped onto AFL app at half time and couldn’t believe the score line. GWS are a serious team, but at home Port should be winning this game.

Absolutely, I was at the game last night and what stood out is the Blues intensity, resolve and calmness under pressure late ……… bring that and anything can happen. Enjoy the ride, atmosphere great last night and it’s infectious even though I’m clearly not a Blues follower. 😜

Not so sure, the Dees in the last two campaigns have faltered and the window slams shut quickly …….. gotta strike while the irons hot and this includes the Blues. Each year hungry teams find a way and the Blues look hungry to me. Good luck against the Lions next week and I’m one who thinks...

You raise some good points and no, I don’t believe the game is risk free or can be made to be risk free. For me I get accidents do happen and I think footy lovers accept a level of danger to players welfare. I don’t believe the AFL remain idle on attempting to interrogate the reasons for...

Agree, it’s impossible for a player in todays game to avoid concussion in some form. I’m not sure of a solution to eradicate significant concussion and this is a real dilemma in all contact sports. Your right, with high marking and landing, players backing into packs with force coming the...

I’m not saying I haven’t enjoyed the 3 recent flags, but it was a 37 year drought prior and currently ……… who knows when. I’m not pissing in ya pocket, I’m just saying Port since inception have given their fans a bloody good ride and under Ken, he’s got you to the finals starting grid often...

There a very few incidents exactly the same, however there are many incidents that deliver the same outcome i.e. concussion. This incident clearly had to go before the Tribunal and Christian should have referred immediately (a bad optic that he didn’t). At the tribunal the decision involved...

Let’s see how this year pans out and judge after the finals are completed. There’ll be one winner and much soul searching for the rest, but I don’t subscribe to the theory that everyone else are failures. Flags are extremely difficult to win and all a club, coach and players can do is present...

Found out? ……… I’m not sure a coach who has a 60% H&A and 50% Finals record (until last weekend) has been found out. 2020 & 2021 Prelim losses hurt, and they’re still in the hunt in 2023. I think everyone’s really keen to get into coaches who’ve not delivered premierships, but they’re bloody...

I hear you and don’t disagree that opportunities over the last few years have gone begging. It’s bloody hard to win flags and Port have and still are in the frame. Good luck this weekend and beyond, I love watching Port in full flight, they’ve got some amazing kids and I just feel that with...

Supporters v Barrackers is a more interesting proposition. As teams start succeeding, everyone comes out of the woodwork and it’s no different to any club to be honest. Impossible to determine, however when your team gets on a roll as the Pies and Blues are doing …….. jump on board and enjoy...

Spot on!! Christian is clearly watching a different game and/or seeking poor counsel regarding referring to tribunal. As has been said all year by the adjudicators on high hits ‘was there any alternate action that could have been taken’ …….. the answer must be YES!! Additionally, as Gerard...

Sounds like you’ve already given up on the year. Nah, I’ve seen some really good footy from Port this year and whilst the first final was a chance gone, always a tough ask. Home final this week and if you progress to play a prelim at the G then I’d take that over a return trip to the Gabba. A...
