    Preview 2025 Goodbye (To 2026) New; Preseason Discussion

    Josh himself has had some success with a smart tall defender who can use the ball well. He's probably trying to replicate a bit of his success at North Adelaide.

    Player Watch Pick #16 (2016) - Todd Marshall

    Forward: Georgiades, Lukosius Forward/Ruck: One of Visentini/Whitlock/Lord/Soldo Defenders: Aliir, Ratugolea and one of Zerk-Thatcher/Marshall/Ramm. Maybe the extra bench spot could suit a specialised ruck/backup ruck, I assume coaches would have different ideas depending on matchups and play...

    Any chance we can get the old gang back together for one more podcast?

    The problem is those other clubs may have an core of voting members that understand what the powerbrokers are trying to do and the gaps that need to be filled in the board and in good faith could vote appropriately in line. If we do make a change, I can see a not-insignificant influx (1000-2000...

    Mega Thread Port Forum General AFL Thread Part 29

    I'm split between acknowledging the systemic unfairness of our competition and not wanting my mindset and supporter mindset to reflect the current thinking at Port or fall into the St Kilda/North Melbourne thinking. Last 10 years Position Vic Big 4 Academy Clubs PB²* Everyone else (9 clubs)...

    Official Club Stuff 2024 AGM - to be held on Friday 6th December 2024, 1 director to be elected by members. Nominations called for.

    That table is such cherry picked bullshit, "Make a table that highlights that we have avoided the bottom 7 (bottom 5 before expansion clubs)" Who the **** talks about bottom 7? Top 8, Top 4, Bottom 4, missing finals (Bottom 10) are all position ranges we talk about in standard footy vernacular...

    Top 10 Current Port Players Based on Potential

    Can I get your thoughts on Wines and Jonas? Or are we only potting the pretty boy captains?

    News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

    I feel like part of the reason that this thread is going in circles is you say stuff like this, do you agree or disagree with the decision? Did you agree or disagree with the decision at the time? If you actually picked top 25's you'd have to include Dyl Williams and Jackson Mead, and if you...

    News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

    Can you clarify what you mean by 'would have', is this an opinion or have you spoken to someone? I might be misremembering previous posts of yours but I think every time you've talked about our other options they have all been worse than the deal we made. Carlton was just pick 14 Melbourne was...

    News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

    Yeah I don't understand getting mad at Dan, if I were to guess his public openness to clubs was Port trying to manage the narrative as the only way that they were willing to entertain a trade, so I can't give Dan credit for that. I also don't care that he had to put pressure on to get the trade...

    Opinion The Evolution of Your Best 23 for 2025

    What's the ceiling for an intercepting half-back whose disposal is more suited to metres gained than picking out targets? I would love to be a fly in the room for his end of season meeting because I can see him being tempted by whoever tells him they see the high impact dynamic half-forward of...

    Player Watch Pick #15 (2024) - Joe Berry

    Cal Twomey elaborated on the demand for Joe on Gettable. St Kilda offered their future first rounder for a pick to get him, they stopped offering once he was off the board Sydney were trying to trade up to get him West Coast had him ranked next after Allan Fremantle had him ranked after Reid...

    I'm officially done, join me on the other side

    To be fair they wouldn't show the ones where they don't get picked because that would be brutal. Also from time to time you get good ones like the Christian Moraes one.

    Player Watch Pick #38 (2024) - Christian Moraes

    We traded up for Berry so he knows he was our target. Whitlock was overlooked by everyone and is out to prove them wrong. Moraes was down on his performance in 2024 and got picked up after his most likely club fell through and he was probably getting a little worried about getting drafted at...

    Player Watch Pick #38 (2024) - Christian Moraes

    Only guessing but Hawks had pick 35, they might have suggested that Moraes would go at that pick but opted for Mraz instead. Or he's just hopping on the simmering tensions ASAP.

    Let's talk Ports! Part 3

    All tackles that result in the ball being disposed of to a teammate aren't recorded as tackles, by nature tackles force either a throw up, HTB, Turnover or the ball to hit the ground.

    List Mgmt. 2024 AFL Draft

    After the talls recruiting the year before you could be forgiven for thinking the recruiting department are just going "I don't even know what you're looking for so here's more options than you can deal with"

    List Mgmt. 2024 AFL Draft

    If Murphy Reid did slide, what would be the reason? He looks like a top 10 this year and maybe a top 5 in some other years.

    Official Club Stuff 2024 AGM - to be held on Friday 6th December 2024, 1 director to be elected by members. Nominations called for.

    I think this is a bit of a poisoned chalice vote. We get to pick 1 1) Retain the only director who has worked in a footy department 2) Vote in a former player whose pitch can be summarised as focus on footy, listen to fans 3) Vote in a third (!) accountant to the board. If we go with 1, we...

    Strategy Mission "2028": Taking the Club Back

    When Tredrea won the board vote, there were 10,405 members who voted. That probably represents the current pool of engaged members that you could appeal to. I'm unsure about the efficacy of initially appealing to lapsed members, it frankly wouldn't be that compelling to have a group who have...

    Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This (Stepping down end of 2025)

    Judging by the new fixture, it looks like we've been given a nice sacking zone from round 8 to 17, I can see us being 4-3/5-2 before then so we would probably need to lose 5-6 of the 8 games leading up to the Brisbane game. Bulldogs (H) Showdown Cats (H) Dockers (A) BYE Giants (A) Demons (H)...

    Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This (Stepping down end of 2025)

    I think defensively he looked a little heavy-footed/out of position, I recall thinking at the time that a lot of players were running around him and he wasn't able to impose himself post clearance without giving away a free kick. As far as fitting players in Powell-Pepper had a small amount of...

    Player Watch Father-Son Pick #25 (2019) - Jackson Mead

    I thought his Fremantle game was good, I don't think the turnover count reflects his game there. He didn't have a good finals series, he was unable to absorb the increased pressure and reverted to dump kicks/kicks to space and very rushed disposals leading to turnovers. Genuine footballers...

    List Mgmt. List Management 2024-25

    The list management team is currently paying the debt for poor drafting and development of tall players. Our spine this year was almost entirely trade-ins (Dixon, Soldo/Sweet, Aliir, Zerk-Thatcher), not to mention Ratugolea. This is the most of any top 8 team, all the others have at least 2...

    List Mgmt. List Management 2024-25

    I agree except for 3 points. 1. We didn't have to pay Houston more, he was contracted until the end of 2027 (opting out of free agency for long-term security apparently). 2. I think you are off on your assessment of Rankine, he's played 5 games above 40% CBA's this year and would have been...

    News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

    This plus a F1 for Luko and 29 plus pick upgrades for Ratkins Salary dump, is probably a little better than I had anticipated. The thing that kills me about this club is this time next year we'll be celebrating how well we've done with our drafting because whoever we draft at pick 13 (or 19...

    News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

    I think us standing firm and not accepting anything but 2 first rounds (1 inside the top 10) is inconsistent with Port's entire strategy regarding trading players. 1. We trade players who want to go regardless of contract status - This applies to Wingard (probably pushed), Duursma, Howard...

    Review Round 24, 2024 vs Fremantle

    I went to this game, the crowd were going off their chops at everything that went against Freo. It must have been the panic of missing finals, but they were one of the biggest sooky crowds I've been a part of. Watching them leave after the Rioli goal is now my favourite non-final moment of...

    Opinion Kane Cornes media career thread

    I know the Ken protection racket is widely discussed on this forum, but I feel like Kanes desire for on air confrontation is genuinely giving criticism more air, even if it's as a joke. On SEN this morning talking about the West Coast job (paraphrased in parts because they repeat sentences a...
