    Opinion Change the Club Song. It's time.

    I've tried to convince myself otherwise, but I just can't do it anymore. It's time to face facts; our club song is shit. It's 90s, it's poppy, there's no decent hook, and it's impossible for 22 men to sing without sounding cringeworthy. So why don't we change it? 10 years ago we had a...

    99,382 v 26,815

    That's how's the crowds between Real Madrid and Man City at the MCG, and Carlton v Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium compare tonight. In this "the year of the fan", the AFL has utterly destroyed their showcase game through arrogant and misguided fixturing; the same drab clubs playing in mismatched...

    Toast It's Time. The Kane Mitchell Universal Love Thread

    This guy came to Port with a couple big strengths (his running and beach shots) and a couple glaring weaknesses (his kicking and inside work). With a record-setting 58 votes in his 2012 Sandover Medal triumph it was clear he was too good for the second tier competitions, however there'd been...

    Record Crowds, Record Memberships.. Record a Loss?

    If ever the bewilderingly small-minded attitude of footballing powerbrokers in South Australia was reflected in an article, this is it- some brilliant investigative journalism from Caroline Wilson...

    Opinion Impact of AFL Reserves on the SANFL

    Just read an article in The West as I was waiting for my takeaway coffee. Crowds down in new-look WAFL The alignment model's introduction has failed to generate a surge in WAFL crowds, with average attendances down across the first month of the season. WA Football Commission officials are...

    Opinion PAFC Contenders for All Australian

    Wingard is a lock at this stage as a half forward, he just needs to sustain this form; 24 goals (16th in the Coleman), and 22 possessions a game is unparalleled for any other half forward, and in fact the closest anyone comes to matching these stats is Dangerfield with 20 goals @ 24 possessions...

    Prediction PAFC Punters' Thread

    Thought this board could do with a consolidated thread to post all our hot tips and shrewd investments, a place to gloat when they come off and never mention them again when they don't. Some recent bets I've placed: Port @ $81 to win the NAB Cup (only GWS have worse odds and NAB Cup has a...

    Toast Wingard's Breakout

    27 possessions, a goal and really turned the match in the third quarter which saw us outscore the Lions 6 goals to 2. The first time I have seen him really step up from being a bit part player with a few flashes of brilliance to become a prime mover when the game was up for grabs. Despite...

    Does winning the tackling count = winning the game?

    A bit of discussion on the Port board at the moment about the fact we won the game on the weekend (convincingly in the end) yet got flogged in the tackling stats. Anyone here able to shed any light on whether the final outcome of matches is correlated in any way with the tackling statistics?

    Players to kick >30 goals and average>20 disposals in their 1st/2nd season

    I wasn't sure where to ask this question but figured there'd be some stats junkies here looking for a challenge. Can anyone confirm if Dustin Martin was the first and only player to achieve this?

    WA media shows how it's done

    Another day, another pro-Port article in The West. Ford will like this one cause it can be legally shared :D link link Just a fluff piece, but the language used is noticeably different compared to the compromised 'Tiser "journalists". At the very least it's nice to have some positivity in the...

    Toast Not Getting Ahead of Ourselves

    I'm liking the quotes I'm reading from Primus since last night's game. A big part of what has been so frustrating being a Port supporter the last 4 years has been our talking it up to the media and not backing up words with actions. We've had a tendency to get ahead of ourselves and conveniently...

    Run out of the Backline

    We have that many issues at the moment it's hard to know where to start. Inexperienced, no structure, no confidence, no elite stars, no young talent, unfulfilled potential, slight frames, no consistency, no crowds, poor output from senior players, no work ethic etc etc. Of course, we need to be...

    Pick 4: A blessing in disguise?

    Does anyone else think that we may have dodged a bullet in missing out on Pick 3? While Naitanui looks great in the highlights package the general consensus seems to be that there is a degree of risk attached. Having had a look at Tyrone Vickery's Youtube vid there's not much not to like about...

    "Picks 4 to 20 are a raffle"

    So says 5AA's Graham Studley Cornes, with picks 1 to 3 being head and shoulders above the rest. I didn't actually realise he was such a draft expert but there you go. But in all seriousness how do you see the spread of talent in the top 20? Is the top 3 really as clearcut as some make it out...

    Port a chance to snare Natanui??

    Looking at the ladder we're a game above Freo and on current form a real chance of dropping down to 14th by the end of the year. Now maybe it's abit defeatist but this would then mean Big Nat to Port Adelaide with the number 3 pick. With Deluca's woeful performance in ruck what a shot in the...

    How many trades do you have left??

    With a week left till finals how many trades does everyone have left? By the looks of things there might be a few teams caught short this year

    Outside Advice: Mark Williams vs. Neil Craig

    We seem to get a fair few influential outsiders coming down to give either the players or the coach advice. Off the top of my head, James Hird (pre-last year's GF iirc?) Phil Smyth Partnership with the T-Birds Tredder's NRL kicking coach Choco's tour of a notable European soccer giant (was...

    How Many Still Have Palmer/Stevens?

    Palmer: 60,000 selections, 10th most popular Stevens: 54,000 selections, 15th most popular You can see both are still very popular, but there has been a fair bit of talk on here about upgrading them throughout the season. How many have actually gone through with this? I would think these guys...

    Which backline duo?

    With McLeod and Cornes out and Hartlett and Spangher (don't ask) doing sfa I'm after abit of considered opinion on which backline combo people think will dominate. Prime candidates I'm considering: Mackie- ($356,500) plays for Geelong, little chance of earning a backline tag (you'd...

    With the injury/suspension of several popular dreamteam stars (in the backlines this time nonetheless :rolleyes:) and a dwindling number of trades how many zeros is everyone copping?

    Michelangelo Rucci: hurting or helping the club?

    With Michelangelo's constant criticism of all things Port the past few months there has been the predictable backlash from supporters, and although it has been somewhat less unblinkered and vitriolic as that of Crows' fans (probably so as to not appear hypocritical) nonetheless his home truths...
