Not sure if we have a trade thread yet. FA list is out. Graham would still be handy. Ainsworth and Hayward would be very hand in our forward line - surprised they are on the coin to make them restricted free agents. Parfitt has the port connection - not sure if he fits in our midfield? Perryman...

I won’t rehash all the detail and data from other threads, just a couple of broad strokes. Port was on its knees as a broke, poorly resourced, poorly run club that was irrelevant Kochie and others came to the club and helped turn things around. It seemed they spent more money on the football...

The mid season draft is coming up and, sadly, with Mitch’s injury we have a spot. How depth cupboard is bare. We have about 11 AFL ready players and more holes in our set up than Swiss cheese. Now is the time to find the missing piece. A player we can hang our collective hopes and dreams on...

We lost ownership and control of our club, and rightfully so, because of spiralling debt, falling membership and crowd numbers and an abysmal football department with pathetic on field performances. We were described as irrelevant. A huge shake up was required and did occur. We are a decade...

PAFC community renewables Finances of all clubs are precarious, 2020 has shown that and it’s going to be tough to make ends meet when you rely so heavily on sponsors. On field struggles, off field changes in ethics (?gambling sponsors), can all affect the revenue stream. And, if I have learnt...

I’m keen to hear what people think about what we can achieve in our final games and what we should be aiming for. I don’t want this to turn into yet another sack Hinkley thread, just keen to see what people think. A couple that come to mind: don’t rush Watts, Ebert, Wines or Burton back. Let...

Mid season review: This season has typified PAFC over the past few years but it’s also been one of our more unusual ones under the current regime. Most of us had us in the 8-14 bracket and would have taken a 7 and 7 breakdown at this time point. But the manner of the wins and losses is perhaps...

In a few words, disappointing, baffling, disheartening. Start of season expectation: Finals and contesting for the top four. A win/loss line of 9-4 or, at worse, 7-6. Whilst 2015 was a tough year, many felt Port underachieved and that this would be the year that they bounced back. Depth had...

Jonas is probably done for 4-5 weeks. Hartlett and DBJ may not come up for the game. Overall better performance by most and not sure a statement needs to be made. I think Howard or Butcher, as the only other key forward, need to come in, not sure who would come out. In: Clurey, Howard Out...

Plenty of ways to describe this season, but I think that the word, bewildering, sums it up best. We have supposedly had an excellent preseason, Bassett suggested it was the toughest he has seen. The off field side of things is probably as good as it has ever been in Port’s history – solid...

As we have hit the bye and the podcast gods are building to a mid season review, I thought a thread for posting questions, predictions and views on what we want for the second half of the season might provide some fodder.

As the team selections this year seem to have stirred more debate than ever before, thought it would be worthwhile running through some of them. It seems as if Hinkley has selected the best 22 from last year + Ryder and stuck with them, only bringing in like for like. He also hasn't made...

Over a year on from losing Alan Richardson to St Kilda, we have been able to replace some of that strategic genius and coaching smarts. However, it is a shame we haven't got more of those short videos that he did during the week to review the game and field questions about the team and...

To get the ball rolling. Thoughts on the ins and outs for next week against the kangas. I think that generally everyone was a little down this week. Jack Neade missed some targets and a shot on goal. Tough call between backing him in to build confidence or sending back to SANFL for form.

Whilst very early in the season to be thinking about this, we have a number of interesting list issues that may arrive over this year and in the next couple. 1) Our best 22, whilst a handful of players still remain under debate, is unlikely to change significantly. Our oldest players have at...

After seeing Luke Hodge win the number one of number ones, I thought who would we take in this years crop if we had the number one pick? Would we go McCartin as KPFs are hard to come by? Or Brayshaw/Petracca despite our midfield depth? Perhaps a project player like Wright or Durdin? Someone...

So 2014 has come to an end and the time for review and reflection has begun. I thought I would give a Macca19 style review thread a go, except look at the season as a whole. What worked, what didn’t work and where we might look to improve in 2014. Please merge, delete or edit as required...
