    Personal Experience The Dark Night of the Soul

    This is based off a presentation Caroline Myss made, but I believe if just one person gains insight from it, it will be worth posting here. A dark night of the soul is an entire archetypal journey. It has an agenda, a path. The purpose of a dark night is to break you down and change your...

    Prediction Changes vs Brisbane

    Powell-Pepper played himself back into the side today. He stays in. Lycett looked to be moving freely. I doubt he'll miss. So who goes out for our best player this season in Boak if he's fit to play next week? Bueller? Anybody, anyone...Bueller....Bueller...

    Game Day Port Adelaide vs Adelaide

    “Each time you put on that jumper, you represent yourself and your teammates! And the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back!” Today, what we are going to see is commitment. To the contest, to the ball, to the jumper. We are going to see resilience, heart...

    Opinion Howard and Frampton - discuss

    In all seriousness, we weren't out our best either, and we had to make changes which included dropping a key forward and replacing him with a key defender who actually bothered to push up the ground (which Frampton didn't bother with), and putting a half back into a mid position to replace a...

    6-6-6 and Efficiency of Attack

    I was looking at the different meters gained of each team over the weekend and almost all sides that won had an increase compared to their average last year, most by over 500 m and some by over 1000 m. As you may know, meters gained is a measurement of positive ball movement i.e moving the ball...

    Preview R1 - Port Adelaide @ Melbourne

    Normally, when I do a match preview, it's filled with inspirational quotes, clips from movies and other useless shit that tries to inspire people to get up for the game against the opposition. Not this year. If you're not inspired by the way we played against North, there's something dreadfully...

    Magic Alchemy 101

    Alchemy is concept of exchange - you can't get gold without sacrificing lead. Symbolically, this means that you can't become immortal without sacrificing life. Now, for most who read the alchemical texts literally, where it speaks of imbibing poison like mercury, they would state that...

    2019 Members Convention

    The inaugural Member Convention in 2018 was a league first, providing Port Adelaide members exclusive insights to the football program, with unprecedented access and information. In 2019 we will provide more of our members with the opportunity to step inside the inner sanctum. The program will...

    Magic The Lesser Key of Solomon

    It’s time to try my hand at Solomonic magic. Going to ask Vassago - Goetic spirit of past and future events - who next year’s premiers are :p Tools you’ll need: Vassago’s sigil The first pentacle of the Moon (as a gift - opens up communication with Moon spirits which Vassago is) Five black...

    Game Day Ports vs Western Bulldogs

    Rise and shine campaigners, it's game day! By the end of tonight, Port will be reported to the RSPCA for cruelty to animals.

    Game Day Ports vs Richmond

    It’s time. For too long this team has been afraid to leave the nest of safe, boring, slow play when faced with a side that has the ability to punish them on the counter. For too long this team has been worried about the consequences rather than excited about the reward of being aggressive both...

    Strategy Football Mastery

    After the win against Fremantle in 2015, Ken Hinkley was quoted as saying that 'we are in pursuit of mastery'. A master isn't just someone with experience. It isn't someone who can just 'do the job'. It is someone who excels at all facets of their particular endeavour. So...allow me to paint a...

    Preview Port Adelaide vs Adelaide

    You've really got to hand it to the AFL, don't you? If you wanted to soften up Port Adelaide so that Gold Coast made an actual fist of the game in Shanghai, how would you go about it? Send them to Sydney? Check. Send them to play Essendon on the hard surface of Etihad? Check. Have them play...

    Strategy The 3 second rule

    You know how if you drop something on the floor, popular wisdom is that it's 'okay' if it's only been there three seconds? (even though it's actually now covered with germs) Well, let's extrapolate that to football, because it applies to how we play as well, or specifically, the options that we...

    Money for Jam - the 2018 “What Happen Power?” Betting Thread

    If Port was a stock, you’d be loading up on that shit right now, cause it’s blue sky. At the moment, I have the following positions (putting $20 on each market when I can for the duration of the season): $40 on Port to win the GF @ $9 $40 on Port to finish minor premier @ $10 $40 on Port to...

    The 2018 zig is pressure...

    ...and the 2018 zag is counter pressure. I’m watching the JLT and I see a whole bunch of sides pressuring the ball carrier, working on forward pressure, dropping back when there is a turnover to make it difficult for the opposition to score. But the question is - why wait until the opposition...

    The Lesser Key of Hinkley (aka the 2018 Statistical Data Thread)

    The Lesser Key of Solomon is an esoteric grimoire that lists the sigils for demons such as Bael, Sitri and Bune. It aids in the summoning of dark entities and the protection circles necessary to bend them to your will. Since we're trying to summon a premiership this year...I thought it was...

    Play Nice 2018 Championship Data & list discussions

    My conclusion on Adelaide is based on the following: 1. Sides that have a systematic failure of their gameplan on the big stage always suffer from a crisis of faith because there is no way to dismiss the failure as just bad luck and that you’ll “get them next time”. Look at West Coast - their...

    Legs feed the wolf

    “Their main weapon is intimidation. They know they are going to win, and so do their opponents." I think, just before the preseason starts, that it's time to actually explain what I see as Ken Hinkley's idea of football mastery is. Because I don't think I ever have. NOTE: I'm both drunk AND...

    Opinion "If you're not with me...you're my enemy."

    Right. Simple poll. No bullshit qualifications like 'If we play Eddy/Austin/Frampton' or 'If we play a decent structure'. I want to know who believes, at 2-2 and after seeing the team performances for 4 rounds against Sydney, Fremantle, Adelaide and GWS, that we are going to make finals. You've...

    Preview Ports @ GWS

    "Goose, Hollywood's ok. I want Viper." - Top Gun Anyway, onward and upward. We've got GWS this week. Will be a great test of resilience and show our ability to bounce back from a loss. It really all hangs on whether or not Ryder gets a match or not for his hit on Knight. If he can play (which...

    Game Day Ports vs Crers

    "We're scared. There's going to be 10,000 Adelaide fans at the game that think we're not good enough. You know what? Maybe we ain't." "All of you feel like that? For 147 years in this state, the Port fan has been spit upon, kicked, dragged through the mud...but there are two things I can tell...

    Prediction The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom (aka the Thread of Esoteric Oddities)

    As a Stoic, my philosophy is based on 'knowledge from any source'. That's why I've done tarot - some can't accept it, but the reality is it's just a form of mental affirmation. There's no real mysticism involved here. The greatest military strategists in the world consulted oracles and seers...

    Strategy A New Line

    "We've got a lot of high backs, and I think every defender had an intercept mark." - Nathan Bassett "All our high forwards were a bit quiet today." - Brendon Lade I'm surprised no one in the media has picked up on this, and I haven't heard any other club mention the concept of high backs/high...

    Club 1870 event

    There's some really rough looking people in this crowd :p And the woman who just went giddy like a school girl because Cassisi is here - hilarious. Ben the legend is confident we'll reach 60k and the club expected a downturn in membership this year. 6 months ago the club was worried that...

    "To the last, I grapple with thee. From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee." - Moby-Dick The story of Moby Dick is one of obsession - of single minded desire that not only entraps the character of Captain Ahab in his quest for revenge against a white...

    Opinion AFL Power Rankings 2017

    Something different this year that I thought I'd try. I used this formula to rate teams in 2016 and it seemed to work pretty well (a combination of contested possession, inside 50s, hitouts, clearances and points scored - both for and against). It basically works out how you perform offensively...

Naturally, straight to the...
