Boak will run out for his 350th today. At 35 I still regard him as a guy who plays footy pretty good.
3x AA
2x club champion
6 years as captain
Port Adelaide AFL games record holder
Pretty handy career.
To reduce the risk of unfairly comparing our current side with the 2004 one who were actually successful, the book has been cancelled.
In it's place, the club will be releasing "chasing greatness: a decade of Kenny" featuring a selection of photographs of Kenny's finest moments sipping cans of...
Has everyone got their fingers ready to wiggle in anticipation of this exciting sunday twilight match up?
You get to combine the existential dread of going back to work tomorrow, with the overwhelming post-hinkley feeling of impending doom! And we're playing against a team with nothing to play...
I mean first of all greyhound racing is cruel and disgusting, rife with lowlifes and full of animal abuse. There are only 7 countries where commercial greyhound races are still allowed, even in the US it only happens in West Virginia. It's basically the sport de jour for bogans who like killing...
Aliir and Jones were both knocked out cold.
The fact aliir is back on and Jones is sitting on the bench instead of being subbed is obscene.
The club has form in this area with putting concussed players back on. The word for it is desperation.
The AFL is allegedly a professional sporting competition, why don't they even attempt some basic degree of fairness?
Cat park has been objectively the hardest road trip for 20 years. Carlton, Essendon and Collingwood flat out get to just not play there. It's garbage. (Aside from Essendon this...
Ok so after a decade, we have a pretty rough idea of what Hinkleyball entails, so i'll just summarise a few dot points
inefficiency
poor conversion
requiring major inside 50 dominance to make up for the lack of system going forward
choking it in big games (fri/sat night)
choking it against big...
Or is it going to be the usual shitshow of trying to find an illegal stream somehow, for those of who ditched FTA years ago and moved into the 21st century.
EDIT: Have answered my own question, but the following info may be useful to someone else.
Basically channel seven is actual garbage so...
It's getting harder and harder for the turd to survive into next year so let's look on the bright side. We could actually hit back hard next year with a coach who isn't some Camperdown potato farmer.
Rozee has elevated to the point that over the last 6 to 8 weeks he's our best player
Butters...
Yeah, the third quarter was good.
In reality the last quarter was the true reflection though. We were nowhere near good enough. Smashed in clearances and centre bounces. Yeah Hawkins is a big greasy roided up juicy flog that flopped backwards, but they would have won even without that s**t free...
How many Sack Hinkley threads do we need? All of them.
PRELUDE
We entered 2022 shell-shocked after arguably the worst prelim final performance in the history of the game. Full of confidence (And apparently booze, if you're Pistol or SPP) after handily belting Geelong in the QF, we come up...
Massive head clash between two of our players. Both players stay down a while. Jonas visibly looks troubled getting back to his feet.
You'd think that'd be worth checking for a concussion. Nah, just wrap some duct tape around their heads and send em back out moite, there's only a few minutes to...
From 1992 to 2006 "interstate" clubs won 10 out of 15 flags, including 6 in a row from 2001-2006.
Clearly this was unacceptable and something had to give to tilt the balance back. Since then almost every flag has had some form of leg up from the VFL in terms of advantage.
Geelong "Dynasty" -...
In recent times these are probably the best individual performances we've had. Who did it better?
By the numbers:
Wines 2021
24 games
777 disposals
10 goals 15 behinds
105 tackles
140 clearances
2nd in the AFL in total disposals
7th for inside 50s
2nd for contested possession
12th in...
Never seen a more mentally cooked side in my life.
This is the most pathetic choke I've ever seen.
Marshall and Bonner, the whipping boys are the only two that have had a ******* crack.

Footy players arent known for their smarts but this is still a pretty embarrassing take. Wonder if someone at the club should sit him down and make him speak...
Our biggest uptick came when we had butters, rozee and duursma firing along.
It's a given that ken is useless and will go. Maybe it's in a year or two, who knows. But he's almost gone (yay!).
We need to start over. Unfortunately ken has burnt the careers of Boak and Gray, they aren't part of...
I was waiting for someone else to do it but it seems no one cares.
Couple of junk time goals to disguise the fact we legitimately let the 17th ranked team back in with a sniff after being up by 7 goals.
Very very bad second half.
Look, I may be on the cusp of boomerdom these days, but I still know my way around an interwebs.
Fan engagement is not met through posting one line updates with one of the following emojis:

2. 👊
3. 💪
Stop. Post a clip of someone falling over at training. Poke fun at the other team...
If people want to have a punt I don't care. But I'm sick of these terrible ads constantly shoved down our throats, gambling odds on everything, and even flogs like Nathan brown integrated into the broadcast.
Time for this crap to be regulated like smoking advertising was
Surprised there's no thread about it already.
Severe impact, high contact, reckless. Elbow to the head which caused a knock out. Surely should be looked at.
Didn't seem intentional but there was a lack of duty of care to get the elbow down after making contact with the ball.
2 weeks you'd...
The AFL already let him off once for KOing Dylan Shiel in the prelim in 2017.
Will they do it again for a sling tackle around the neck, that could have resulted easily in a spinal injury?
