Not really sure where to post this so I guess I'll chuck it in here. So many words could be used to describe how I feel tonight, but the best one is probably 'done'. Over the Hinkley reign every single year I've managed to find some sort of excuse to our woes that if we had just tidied up we...

I'm completely beside myself today, absolutely no attention span or focus whatsover. 7:10pm hurry up!

Glad I'm not the only one who's having trouble sleeping tonight. This feels so much more real than last year, we're really in with a shot here if we can get our best going. Could set up the team for sustained success for a very long time. Time for a nervous poo.

If Weightman doesn't play send Jonas to smash that ******* Bailey Smith campaigner. Carrying on like he's peak ******* Ablett, give us a spell. The pure arrogance of this Bulldogs outfit coupled with their protection from the umpires makes we physically sick. I hope we belt the absolute s**t out...

Was thinking about this the other day. I love how the argument is now which promising young tall between Marshall and Georgiades we should pick and whether or not we should play 3 or 4 talls. A very far cry from the days of a singular tall in Schulz/Dixon and the rotating dwarf brigade of Sam...

Crashed a few packs really nicely in the first half. Should've nailed that gimmie and probably the other shot he had around 40 out on an angle when Dixon's pass didn't meet the 15. Dropped a couple of marks he should've gobbled up but clearly had more sight of it than Dixon. A week of rest will...

The crowd's reaction to SPP coming on in the last was ******* amazing. Would've done absolute wonders for that young man's confidence and I hope we can find a spot for him in 2 weeks time. It's getting real now!

Our 22 Under 22 Team*: *a few 23 and 24 year olds included B: Jones - Garner - Frederick HB: Houston (24) - Burton (24) - Bonner (24) C: Duursma - Powell-Pepper (23) - Bergman HF: Rozee - Marshall - Farrell F: Woodcock - Georgiades - Ladhams (23) FOLL: Hayes - Butters - Drew I/C...

In an ideal world the AFL Grand Final location is determined years in advance like the NFL or UCL. Doesn't have to be a formal bid for the game but set some parameters for the grounds e.g. 40,000+ capacity and whatever extras and incentivise state governments to improve existing or build new...

All three thoroughly deserve their nominations, I reckon Ollie should be a shoe in and I'd give Aliir a 50/50 chance. Amon the best out-and-out wingman of the year but you know they'll probably offload an extra on-baller to the wing as they normally do. Boak a bit stiff but I don't think he'd...

Not gonna lie, Pendlebury has looked quite past it this year and I'd imagine he'd be slowing down even more next year. That being said, he's always been one of my favourite and most respect non-Port players and his experience and leadership would be immense if we could get him a coaching role...

If he'd kicked straight would've finished with 2-3 goals and looked our best key forward on the night. Wasn't alone in the poor accuracy regard either. MG missed from bloody 15 out and Dixon did sweet FA. Ladhams' first half was delistable. Guess people will always find a way to spin it against...

Just someone flatten Cody Weightman.

The absolute scenes if we beat those four sides - who we lost to during the H&A - on our run to the premiership. Except in that scenario we forget the West Coast game, because we can't let the facts get in the way of a good stat.

When I left work we were 4 goals down. Got home 45 minutes later and we were 6 goals up. Finished 15 goals up. Great second half performance and finally a bit of ruthlessness. Getting the cavalry back and hitting our straps at the right time. We're in with a chance here.

Let's compare. Todd's season and career stat averages: Tom's season and career stat averages: Note that Marshall is classed as a key forward whereas Lynch is classed as a medium forward, but really Lynch is more of a swingman so I think his "elite" stats are misconstrued somewhat as they...

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, spring is on the horizon, and Port remain showdown winners. I don’t know about you guys but all is well in the world today :)

I was very concerned following the nature of his injury that he might not be the same player again. His first few games this year before getting injured were exactly where he left off in 2020 - building towards an AA-lock and growing into one of the best mids in the game. We're starting to see...

We just won their Grand Final. That's how much it meant to them - we gave them hope and then broke their hearts. They tried everything they could and we didn't even lift out of second gear. A shocking game whichever way you spin it but to come out with a win is oh so sweet.

Not sure if it's a big call but I'd easily have him in our top 5 in the BnF this year. Maybe even top 3. Such a reliable, composed and relentless defender. Our quarterback coming out of defence.

Remember, we won a Showdown in 2011... you never know what you are going to get and I'm happy we got the 4 points in the end. That being said, * this team and these coaches.

I know everyone's heart skips a beat when this thread is bumped, but I'm pleased to say it's for a good reason today: https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/994405/team-russell-roll-up-their-sleeves-at-record-rate Fantastic effort by everyone involved in setting up the campaign to have it...

Knee surgery for Hammer. Didn't see him breaking into the AFL side anytime soon but a bit of sore luck for the bugger coming to the end of his career. You'd expect at least a few weeks out if not the rest of the season. https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/994352/hartlett-undergoes-surgery

The change makes sense structurally so we don't lose that forward pressure and so we maintain two rucks, but it's a shame to see Todd come out of the side when he seemed to be building. If SPP has another quiet game I'd be tempted to bring Todd back in for him. But hey, how good is it to have...

Stephen Rowe is literally being a racism apologist. You would've thought the most appropriate response in this situation would be something along the lines of "gee that sounds out of character for Ted. We'd want to wait for all the facts to come out because that's unlike him, but if it's true...

I know it's all fun and games to laugh at the Crows and their customer's reactions every time a scandal like this comes up and we as a supporter group love to rip into Ted as much as anyone, but if we're stepping back and looking at the implications of the situation from a wider perspective it...

One plays for a big Victorian club, the other plays for Port. Simple :)

I'd be genuinely embarrassed if I saw a Port supporter wearing some pissant shirt about the 2017 Grand Final or the 2020 Wooden Spoon. It's just pathetic in every sense of the word - you've got * all reasons to cheer for your own team so you get off on the losses of your rival? The air is...

Our 4 talls are starting to become very hard to defend against as the group of them are finally getting some consistent footy together. Dixon takes the best defender or two every single week as teams try to muscle him out of the game just to break even. You basically have to infringe him every...
