Congratulations to Hamish Hartlett on his 150th game this weekend against Sydney.
You have come along way Hamish, loved watching you grow into the player you are today...
Get around him peeps....
Mods.. forgive me if this thread has been started already....
What...its 8:30am and no game day thread as yet.....slack peeps...
If they pull this off, I will start trusting our boys somewhat more....
Feel free to change the title or delete this thread if already started.....
Look at the players who are on the edge of getting a game but can't......who are they....
For example, who is Brain Lake holding back....so to Hawkins of Geelong....
Brian lake is an option to replace Alipaite, and Hawkins up front, but who are the players that Port could trade using our...
Is the AFL "buying" the Port Adelaide Football Club by underwriting the financing debt. Will this be the time that Port now breaks away from the SANFL completely?
All clubs are just subsidiaries of the AFL, its the AFL responsibility to ensure the life of 18 clubs.
Football is evolving, so to...
If we look at a football team as a Car, what parts in this team needs replacing to be at our absolute best, mentally and physically?
Forget your love for a minute...who are our liabilities at present?
For the first time I had the pleasure of watching a video tape of 125 years of Magpie Magic.
It had fantastic footage of the late Bobby Quinn and Foster Williams. It also had another coach who's name escape me, he said that when an average player puts on a Port Jumper they seem to grow an...
Its no shock, but Peter and Lade are to retire. Their last game will be on Saturday night against north.
To the both of you, thanks for the memories and what you have done over the years......especially the Premiership which you two both deserved.
Good Luck and all the best..............
Is it just me or do others have the same opinion.
I heard Chad saying in an interview with Papa Conrz that he is embarrassed to find out the club leads the way in losing by the biggest margins.
Well....phuking hello:mad:..........is anybody home:confused:, is that being arrogant in past and...
Is our squad good enough to get us there for the next Premiership, if not why not.
I think to have a great team you need to start from scratch, and I mean to begin with a team with the average age of 21. let them gel as team on and off the field and most importantly to learn how to play for...
Well, the count down is now on and the media is hunting and stalking the clubrooms at Alberton Oval whilst keeping an eye on the airport arrivals and departures for a sign. A sign that may provide evidence that Choco is gone or no signs at all. Speculations are now been thrown out there just...
I just noticed who the Bullies have played in the past 5 games and I have found that these teams are below us, except for Geelong.
IF...and a Big bloody IF......our players are switched on from the 1st bounce and play a good 4 quarter game, maybe we could create an upset, if there is any...
After watching ON The Couch last night, Hird pointed out when Rioli pinged his hamstring he said with past experience of such an injury, one needs to recover 100% form it, because if you don't it will hang around for a long time.
Is it worth the risk of playing Hartlett or should we let him...
Drafting players or let the players pick which club they want to play with...
If you were an up and coming player, would you rather have
A/ club's knocking at your door to play for them with big contracts that gives you a choice,
OR
B/ would you prefer that or be rounded up into a...
After looking at Motlops goal against Brisbane.....I couldn't help but see the ruck work of Lade to Shaun then off to Motlop.....
I think our team is not the same without Shaun or Lade at his best....
Question: How important is Shaun to the mix of players ATM.
He would have to be the MVP...
Well.....its to be expected....isn't it?
SANFL hands Port 2.1 million
AFL hands 1.2 million
Did you expect any less?:rolleyes:
Its now up to the SANFL to give Port and the Crows a better stadium deal instead of having to resort to this again for Port Adelaide.
If the SANFL can not budge...
Will this game against Richo's men going to be a game that will either put our team back on track or it will put more doubt in players mind set?
Do we look like losing two in a row?
If our boys dont come out to play switched on, its going to be Groundhog Day again, as it was last year.
Or...
Should we win the next two games, do you think that we have turned the page in regards to losing the monkey off our backs after 07?
I think that there is a lot more room for improvement to think so, but i would like to think that we a getting very close.
If you think we have, what is your...
After reading the Sunday Mail about Choco, he brought to my attention a good point.
With 7 clubs that are going to renew contracts for coaches, would it be in the best interests of PAFC to retain the services of Choco due to the fact that there will be 6 clubs that may have new coaches...
While gas bagging with a friend of mine last night he told me of a great story about his amatuer footy team regarding how the coach got his team fired up before the match.
He said before they went out, the coach gathered all the palyers and told them to take off their gurnsey and throw it on...
Would it hurt our club to reward current members that recruit new members by discounting their purchase of a membership for the following year?
If every paid up member this year is to gain 1 or 2 new members, we should then have a number that would reflect the 45K at the Prelim in 04.
I did...
Rumour has it........Port could be heading off to Tassie...
I dont like the idea.
FFS, Port Adelaide FC is an ICON club of South Australia, why dont they just give a license to Tassie?
Should this happen, I will not renew my membership and nor will I follow the AFL.
With the trade almost among us do we forget that there are pontential players playing in other leagues around the world?
Apart from the Irish Gaelic players, do we look at other countries.
Now with the swarm of South African migrants, I have noticed that they have taken up soccer as they...
Just thought to let all you Magpie supporters who are thinking of coming over but dont rate your chances on getting tickects, well.......there are still 16,000 general admission tickets still left........
Your team needs your support, the more of you there the better your chances are in...
I am very surprised that there are still 17,000 tickets remaining and we are 2 days away from an "Elimination Final".
I was quite convinced that these tickets would have been sold within 1 hour after they were released to the General Public. Will it be a sell out?
If this game on Saturday...
I had mixed thoughts after todays win, winning in the way did only to benifit the club we despise the most, plus to give up a pick 3.
I was thinking that we would lose by 10 points, be happy with that and get pick 3 in the draft next year.
I say to you all, does Choco have something up his...
