    Universal Love Dan Houston

    In regards to the issue of whether he's "too safe" as a player, I've noticed that it seems to have been something he's really improved on since coming back into the side. He's really been kicking more aggressively, and it's paying off. Obviously these are fairly crude measures, but I think this...

    Universal Love Dan Houston

    I was umpiring a game on the weekend and overheard that one of the other umpires was interested in the Port game. "Wow! Am I umpiring with another Port fan?" I thought to myself. "There's not many of us down here". And so I proceed to ask him. "You a Port supporter?" "Brother plays for 'em." He...

    Teams Team Development (Final Two Weeks)

    Thanks for the feedback, particularly that third point - it's a good one, and I hadn't even considered it to be honest! I'm still running with all the mid-pricers, In relation to the article a majority of those players would be players who just under-performed in the previous season rather than...

    Teams Team Development (Final Two Weeks)

    Hi all, I'm interested in getting feedback on this team. Of course I'm more interested in the assessment of my reasoning than just "Pick/don't pick player x, who is a gun/spud". I've been pretty unsuccessful in my two years of Supercoach so far, so any general strategy/tactics (including whether...

    I don't mean to brag. Actually, scrap that, that's exactly what I mean to do. I therefore call attention to the fact that I basically predicted this when you guys drafted him - he once came ninth in national cross country after all. To put into perspective just how high his fitness ceiling is...

    SuperCoach 2016: Vents & Regrets Thread

    Went into this round really expecting a win. My projected score was about 150 points higher than his, and that was before taking into account that I was using Davis' donut to loophole Seedsman and Smith. To say the least, this guy's team was not good, so a loss to him would be, let's say...

    SuperCoach 2016: Vents & Regrets Thread

    Are you sure? I'm ranked about 90,000. If you are doing worse then my hat goes off to you, that's some seriously bad Supercoaching. I usually post whenever I can make a useful contribution. Unfortunately, the only thing consistently offering me with new material is the spectacular under...

    SuperCoach 2016: Vents & Regrets Thread

    Yeo a late out with Dea as cover. He scores all of 33 points. The sub rule may be gone but through him its Supercoach effect lives on in spirit #nostalgia. With a choice between Shaw and Fantasia. I traded the latter in this week, reasoning that Shaw was unlikely to get his breakeven (122) while...

    Certified Legendary Thread China History in the Making

    The Chinese TV viewership of the Port-Essendon game was reportedly over twice that of the Australian viewership, and CCTV have asked for more games. I've seen no suggestions of using any stadium that would seat fewer than 40,000 people, indicating confidence in a turnout that would far exceed...

    SuperCoach 2016: Vents & Regrets Thread

    Before Round 1. Sam Gray had a fantastic end to the season last year, and his average is bogged down by his poorer scores earlier on. His preseason work effort has been unanimously praised, and he's kept us his good form in the internal trials as well as the NAB Challenge. Lock him for a 95+...

    Young ahead of O'Shea, Krakouer, Amon, Toumpas and possibly also Colquhoun and Stewart is very strange.

    Prediction Optimistic Thread (Delusion)

    Hate to tell you this, but there's no way we'll pick up Dixon and Bennell without coughing up at least a player or two. Also, Neade over Amon? Amon's most recent game (of 6) was significantly better than any of Neade's 33 games at AFL level - and he's a year younger.

    My father and I flew up to Adelaide for my first Port home game of the year (and first Maggies game ever) and by coincidence ended up on both of the same flights as the St Kilda players. Ran into Sinclair while boarding the plane and had a very brief chat with him. Conversation with people you...

    Round 17 stats: 10 disposals, 8 kicks, 8 contested possessions, 7 tackles, 4 free kicks, a goal, 88 Supercoach points. If I didn't know any better I would have guessed those stats were Cyril Rioli's.

    Analysis Big Port Survey Results

    I really don't understand why anyone would vote against the Prison Bars. I actually prefer Back in Black as a full time jumper, being too young to have ever followed the Magpies, but I still want the club to have the option to wear the PBs. And I want that option to be exercised every now and...

    Senior Jack Sinclair

    I know this isn't what you were asking but back in primary school he absolutely dominated the (obviously unrecorded) possession tally - in addition to everything else of course! Regardless, he has good speed, natural fitness, and statistically anomalous strength for a 20 year old*. With a few...

    Changes v Collingwood

    The thing that baffles me with Hoon's omission is that it seems to imply that they hoped for more from him when they brought him in. If a player does what you hope from them you don't drop them. Sure, he hasn't been brilliant, but he's a fringe player. Surely even his biggest critics on this...

    Pace-Can you actually train to get it?

    Interestingly, Moore is supposed to be a really good runner. Wikipedia lists his draft 20m sprint at 2.97 seconds and and beep test at 14.1. He even ran at the Grand Final sprint last year if I recall correctly.

    Review R14: Port v Sydney Review

    As it should be. For him to give away his actual tactics and plans would be incredibly stupid, making the jobs of anyone coaching our opposition a whole lot easier. Other than meaningless stuff like this I'm not sure what a coach could prudently say in public.

    It's interesting how age affects your level of disappointment. I turned seven in 2003, and it was the first season where I closely followed the football (specifically I started watching just about every game from our round six match against Richmond). I have almost nothing but positive memories...

    He's listed as playing in the Centre. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the sub is usually listed as being on the Interchange bench.

    Here's some perspective for you (if your team isn't travelling well)

    I remember a game in Under 12s where my team defeated a team from Richmond 167-0, playing at their home ground (I should add that there were 20 minute quarters without time on, so adjusted for regular length quarters I guess this was roughly equal to a 250-0 win). These guys had clearly never...
