    2019: the year of being good in 2020

    It’s been a terrific year of looking forward to being good in 2020. I for one, can’t see how anything could possibly go wrong next year. With Ken Hinkley leading a group of exciting, eager-to-learn youngsters, finally this year we have been able to consider that we will be good at a later date...

    Universal Love Our list is actually fcken lit, fam *chef kissy fingers*

    We are in rebuild mode. The club hasn’t/won’t say it, but the list is being reset and we are doing a pretty bloody sterling job of it IMHO. As the club has managed its trade assets to acquire multiple first-round or early second round picks in recent years, a wave of talent born in the...

    Strategy Who does Sutcliffe go to this week?

    Too many Bombers that rip us apart, we’re spoilt for choice as to who to apply the forward tag to... Orazio Fantasia - would be my choice, if he has a quiet one we can reduce his trade value for this off season Jake Stringer - the Package always has one out of the box against us. Even in...

    Resource What questions should the interview panel ask applicants for the Port head coaching role?

    “How do you wind down in the coaches’ box after the team has coughed up a 5 goal lead in the first term?” “How do you have a difficult conversation when dropping a player that you brought into the team to tag the Brownlow favourite, only to have it colossally backfire by allowing literally...

    Strategy whAT can we do to support Zac Butterss

    Hey guys, very good word on the street that Zac Butters is a bit of an aloof loner around the club.

    List Mgmt. Trade target: Oscar McInenerny

    Doing good things up in Brissy (or BrisVegas, if you’ll indulge me!) Just love how even though he’s a big lumberer, he can clunk a big mark. Just what we need in crunch time of these tight games Not sure if he has the running power to play our game style, but I’m sure after a preseason or two...

    EXCLUSIVE: AMA

    Hey guys for a limited time only I’m glad to answer your Port-related questions. Brent Guerra’s hair circa 2000-2003, the inspiration behind the hugely successful Dulmial Gun nickname, Mel michael being robbed of the 2004 Norm Smith in a losing team, srsly no topic is out of bounds.

    Obviously we need to open the floodgates

    Couldn’t be more patently obvious, no? Free the players up to attack, take the game on, ‘be brave’, force the action etc. Pretty clear at the moment we are entirely defense first, foremost and only; reading betwixt the lines this seems to be down to Bassett’s influence and look, he was very...

    Farewell Matt Lobbe

    He will definitely pull a mammoth once in a career effort out of his arse to beat us at Etihad next year. A good dude, been impressed by his work in mental health awareness recently. Will remember a tremendous workmanlike 2014 season. PS is it low-bee or lob-ee

    Grimes

    aka "Grimey", as she liked to be known Any fans out there? Probably the artist making the best and most interesting music at the moment, in my limited and humble opinion. Pretty cool pop tunes, some very danceable but with enough of an artistic twist to differentiate it. Saw her at Laneway...

    Three Modes

    Last week in the media Ken was saying that we had 'three modes of ball movement' during a game, presumably based on situation and position on the field. For our enhanced enjoyment of the game, I'm wondering if we can put our heads together and identify what these modes are? All I can come up...
