    Geez, that was too easy. Not a Port player in sight. Floodgates have opened.

    Game Day Round 6 - Port vs Collingwood

    I am, not giving it away just yet. We have two or three good players who are down on previous weeks. Rozee, Drew, Horne -Francis are three players who have the ability to find more of the footy and use it to advantage.

    Game Day Round 6 - Port vs Collingwood

    Nothing surprises me with Ken in charge. As has been said Ken goes into a game and changes nothing. Ken is so convinced that he has the game plan to beat any challenge that making changes on the run is not in his handbook.

    Game Day Round 6 - Port vs Collingwood

    We do not have one multiple goal scorer. Eight goals from eight different players. At least we have kicked straight. The term spearhead is an anachronism at Alberton these days. I guess a game plan where you bomb it in and hope someone gets on the end it has a lot to do with that. I am not...

    Game Day Round 6 - Port vs Collingwood

    Superspud's averages could not get much lower could they? Over his career he averages 8.3 disposals and 0.6 goals a game. Even the much maligned Sam Gray averaged 17.4 disposals and 0.8 goals per game. Since going forward another maligned player in Darcy Byrne- Jones has averaged 12 disposals...

    Preview Preview and Changes: Round 6 - Port v Collingwood

    At least we get a look at Jordan Sweet this week. I guess with Cameron, Moore and Frampton in the Collingwood side and injury to Dixon and Lord and with Finlayson suspended Ken's hand was forced.

    Cricket Discussion - Part 2

    Derek Underwood was possibly the most accurate bowler I ever saw. In 86 Tests over 16 years 'Deadly' had an economy rate of 2.10 runs per over. He had a brisk pace for a spinner but could drop his pace when required. An outstanding player for sure. Sad to note his passing.

    Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 8

    Fair enough, from where I sat it was an incidental contact as a result of two players contesting the football. The fact that the MRP is even looking at this sort of collision shows how soft the game has become.

    Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 8

    ******* Victorian biased media are all a bunch of flogs. I was shaking my head in disbelief that Butters was even reported. If it was the collision I think it was Butters went hard at the ball and actually came off second best. I didn't notice Robinson, King and co jumping up and down at the...

    2nds West Adelaide vs Port Adelaide - Round 2 @ Waikerie

    My fantasy is that Koch will resign and his replacement in Tredders will sack Hinkley and the new Coach will terminate Mc Entee's contract and sign Koby Ryan in the mid year Draft. Then I wake up. :(

    Review Round 5, 2024 vs Fremantle

    Currently Todd is on target to kick 32 goals for the minor round whereas in 2022 he kicked 45. Thus far 4 of his 7 goals came in one game and this inconsistency is a concern. The concussion thing is a valid point as he has not been the same since. Todd is getting as much of the ball as much...

    Review Round 5, 2024 vs Fremantle

    I thought Rioli was our only really dangerous forward last night. Georgiades and Dixon had moments as did DBJ but we really lacked a four quarter dominant forward. Todd Marshall is becoming a real concern and if his form does not improve he may be the one to make way for Finlayson. Todd has...

    Review Round 5, 2024 vs Fremantle

    One of those games where we did everything we could to lose it. That was bloody typical Hinkleyball as we ****ed about all night and were lucky to get away with it. The Cows were crowing (no pun intended) about winning in the last 5 minutes, we did the same bloody thing.

    The Cows are not as bad as many of their supporters think. I have a feeling of foreboding about the Showdown in three weeks time. I hope the red, blue and gold pricks do not use that game to turn their season around. Knowing our history under Hinkley it is just possible.

    You are right context is everything. No, we all know what Jeremy meant and as I posted elsewhere, 'I was only calling him a meatball' might have been a defence but I am not sure how successful it would have been. On the subject of context when AI takes hold we may be able to post the recipe for...

    If it is a 3 day game I would expect Warwickshire to declare overnight. If that happens it will spare those Durham bowlers some real pain. That pitch must be a belter or the Durham bowlers are worse than average. Just had look and it is a four day match so maybe the Durham pain will continue...
