In Hinkley's gameplan, the wing was where players went to die. All defensive running, and used as decoys rather than an attacking part of the ball movement. No coincidence that some of the most talented players to leave during Hinkley's reign were wingmen. Assuming this might change under Josh'...
I've always enjoyed your posts TSW as cleary they are informed and close to the source... I always wanna ask for more info but figure you say what you can.
PS. Think I may be the only person who doesn't know who you actually are...
Who said the PAFC couldn’t find good young players?
For the second week in a row, the Power has featured heavily in unearthing the next Rising Star – for the opposition…
Mitch Duncan from the Cats gets the nod this week. This follows Luke Shuey’s nomination from the Eagles last week.
I...
Absolutely pathetic effort from Port...
• Lose a player to GC then give them back the pick we got for him???
• Missed out on a home sick 200cm ruckman
• Couldn’t get rid of a player the club or leadership group didn’t want
• Couldn’t get a player that we wanted
Tredders to announce retirement?
Rumours the great man is going to announce his retirement today? I hope not. I reckon he has more to offer next year than Chad to be honest...
Jarrad’s Waite hit on Davenport and subsequent 3 week ban got me thinking.
SCENARIO: Waite hits Dav with an errant and deliberate elbow. Dav goes off and returns later but is clearly feeling the effects. Waite goes on to be one of the match winners. Waite then gets 3 weeks suspension – but...
Trengove was unbelievable. For a kid that doesn't really look like he can run he was absolutely everywhere!
I'm not saure who who will go ahead of him in the draft but they must be damn good. I can't remember a more impressive underage footballer... That mark he too in the dying seconds just...
Will we still exist in the AFL in 2011? Might be too late for us...
Seems like we could save everyone some money and heartache and just hand our licence back to the SANFL / AFL and say "thanks, we tried, we won a flag but now we're f*%cked!"
Hey guys - wouldn't usually do this but thought it would be worth a shot.
I'm trying to get to the game with a group of friends this week (melb boys - pies supporters) but left it too late and the sold out sign is up...
If anyone has a spare ticket (perhaps a cat 1 AAMI member that isnt...
Thought some of these were good for a laugh...
ADELAIDE CROWS: JULIA ROBERTS
Big in th 1990s but what has she done lately?
BRISBANE LIONS: SARAH JESSICA PARKER
Just when you thought you were finally safe....... shes back
CARLTON BLUES: NAOMI CAMPBELL
Struts around like a winner but...

Regardless of our opinions of his recent performanes and perceived stubborness, sounds even more demanding a job than I had envisaged... 10 years is a damn good effort. No wonder Sheedy and Malthouse are both bordering on insane... (apologies...
Does anyone else wonder what might've been when they see Joel Selwood tearing it?
I know it seems a bit harsh on Travis, and he is fast becoming one of my favourite players, but Selwood looks exactly like the hard bodied mid-fielder we are crying out for.
Most 'experts' rated him as...
Gday all. In a cruel twist of fate i will be at surfers next weekend when the Lions are due to play the Power at AAMI stadium. My question - where is the best place (if any) to get a live telecast of the match on Sunday afternoon? I'm staying just off of Cavill Avenue so anwhere around there...
I was speaking to a prominent employee of the club last night and they revealed that both the adminstration and the coaching group has low expectations for 2006, expecting to finish somewhere 'mid table'.
Apparently the club is still feeling the effects of the mass post-Premiership exodus...
Ever the man to state the bleeding obvious, Neil Craig had this to say about having the favourite tag heading into saturday nights match...
"It's good to be the favourite because then people think you're pretty good."
A little premature i know but i cant help but think our sneaking into the 8 has the potential to mask what has really been an unacceptable season from players and coaching staff alike. I am fearful that the strong finish to the season might buy some of our senior players an extra year on our...
Is it just me or does Choco have some kind of phobia about playing our new recuits before they have reached the age of at least 22?
Why do I see other clubs continually blooding young, exciting players yet Port consistenty pick our also rans (Cochrane, Shattock, Poulton etc) rather than try...
Seeing that the Cows attracted a reasonably low crowd by their standards on Easter Sunday, I was wondering what sort of crowd figure people are expecting this week.
I reckon the club will be hoping for a crowd well in excess 40,000. Grand final rematch, nice autumn saturday night, unfurling...
Bathing in Premiership glory it has been easy to boast to all that will listen that the depth in Port's list should be the envy of all. Well Saturday night gave us a glimpse of the future and I am interested to hear what the punters thought.
Personally, I think we are running one ruckman...
Channel 9 are reporting tonight that the Crows are looking to re-introduce the Neil Craig inspired lycra guernseys that Norwood used in the late 90's.
Looks like the transformation to fully fledged netball team is almost complete! :D
Have a mate that has been helping out the trainers during pre-season and he indicated that one Stephen Williams has been playing a rather 'hands on' role during the first couple of sessions back....
