No it wasn't We publicly announced in August 2020 that we had written to the ACC requesting to put plans on hold due to financial concerns due to COVID. The decision not to proceed was made after Olsen was appointed.

Given that supermarkets like Drakes are selling the 180 gram blocks of Cadbury for $7, I wonder just how bad it could potentially get.

That's not exactly true though, we pulled out of the Aquatic Centre proposal to push forward with Thebarton. Claiming that Thebarton was the only option isn't accurate IMO The club made a decision to move towards Thebarton as a preference over the Aquatic Centre and the only reason now that...

Something like that would take a ton of leg work to pull off and there's no way we're in the process of doing that after committing to Nicks for two more years only a couple of weeks ago

So why we were against Chapman given he was also as you put it "just a single vote at a board meeting"? Surely the same standards apply, I'm certainly not the one applying double standards here from my stance with Chapman. He's been in the chair now for four years and if the only card to play...

I agree that there was no secret plan with Kelly being appointed. As for "paranoia" with the SANFL, the facts are that they've been a financial parasite on this club and erroded our competitive advantage for years/decades. Their perception has always been that we're a cash cow that solely...

I do think there is degree of projection with those who keep using politics to shield Olsen away from criticism. Imagine in ten years, Nicks gets another extension despite no finals in his 15 year tenure and still no home, I wonder if Elite will still be running defense for Olsen's performance...

In regards to Thebarton the Crows should have moved there 15 years ago instead of wasting money on that white elephant at West Lakes. There were a few of us at the time who floated the idea of going to Thebarton (at the time it was vacant) and building a base there because we could see that the...

I really like Rachele, but I've made this observation before that he has huge Chad Wingard vibes about him. Hopefully he can reach his potential rather than coast on talent like Wingard did. I definitely wouldn't be dropping him at this stage.

Tredders has been interesting He's pulled right back now and when people were ringing up blaming Hinkley, he's saying it's the players and that after being on the Board he has more insight now into the coaching dynamic at Port. I suspect he's found out that Carr is doing the match day coaching...

Ratugolerror 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Carn Pies!!!

We started rebuilding at the end of 2019. A lot of Port players were already in the side before then.

ROB is definitely a bottom tier ruckman. He should have only ever been a temporary stop gap option for a year or two. The fact that he's heading towards 150 games is something I don't know whether to laugh or cry about.

We were only in the game because Essendon couldn't finish in front of goal. The score flattered us, Essendon outplayed us for most of the game and Nicks was resoundly beaten tactically. Blame the umps all you like, but the reality is that if we can't even outplay Essendon on our home deck then...
