Emma Chambers who played the dippy verger Alice Tinker in "The Vicar of Dibley" has died of natural causes aged 53. She also played Hugh Grant's sister Honey in "Notting Hill".

Port Adelaide have completed their best 10 goals of the year. Do you agree with the order? Personally I would have Justin Westhoff's Shanghai goal as first. He has scored this type of goal before so I wouldn't call it a fluke. Sometimes you can be a bit more confident in these shots by him than...

Players who we expect to reach a milestone in 2018 - possibly not all of these players will get there as they may be injured or suffer a drop in form but I have included those who have 22 games or less to go to a milestone. This list could be changed later if we pick up a DFA with only a few...

The actor from the 1960s camp 'Batman' series, Adam West has died at 88 on Friday at Los Angeles. He was 88.

I had something to write about our two wins vs Adelaide's two wins and thought it best to start up a preview thread to do that. 1. Adelaide beat GWS, a bit of a surprise at the time to people from the eastern states but maybe not so much to those in SA. They seem to have something over the...

In 2017 we will be starting from just outside of Government House and walking down King William Street, over the bridge and into the Eastern plaza. http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2017-03-29/new-route-for-the-march

Rick Parfitt of Status Quo passed away in Marbella, Spain on 24122016 from a severe infection. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-12-25/status-guo-guitarist-rick-parfitt-dies-in-spain-aged-68/8147408

The 80s Richard Dean Anderson series that was so beloved by Patty and Selma has been remade, not to everyone's delight. Without seeing it, I would have been one of those who would not have welcomed a new McGyver, the original one may have been cheesy and 80s but it was our cheesy and 80s. Try...

Sylvia Anderson, best known as the voice of Lady Penelope in the TV show Thunderbirds, has died after a short illness, her family has confirmed. Anderson co-created the hit science-fiction puppet series, which ran from 1965, with her late husband Gerry. In a career spanning five decades, she...

Valerie Ah Chee, mother of Brendon and Callum has been nominated by her eldest son Jordan as Barnardos mother of the year. Valerie Ah Chee Nominated by her son Jordan Ah Chee Rumour has it Valerie Ah Chee has had one Sunday off in the past few years – but only by default. Every other day of...

This could go in the Hawthorn review but I reckon it deserves it's own thread. We have 5, count them, 5 players in Team Of The Week! And none of them interchange. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-08-25/team-of-the-week-round-21 Jazzbo on the half-back flank for his 27 possession game. Samwise...

Justin looks a certainty for this weeks GOTY, Crameri's long goal is nice but the empty goalface beckoned and after the smother he made off Hodge there was little Deledio could do but kick the goal. Justin did it all, he spoilt the mark and kicked the goal. To tell the truth, from where I was...

At the moment the substitute position just seems to be used in two ways, at least for Port. 1. A new player finding his feet. 2. The 22nd best player selected. In 2013 Kane Mitchell was sub quite a few times and caused an impact with his speed, he also played a few full games that year and...

Couldn't find a thread to put this in and I thought it could be an idea to have an exclusive thread about some decisions and the rules that allow them. The idea for this came about when seeing the latest rush of "prior opportunity" frees when the player ducks. Two this week came to my attention...

We had lost 2 out of 3 and tied one after 3 rounds. In 2013 we lost 7 last quarters only and in 2013 only 8. Not really a problem after those 3 rounds as the Swans played some kind of a defensive game, Q4 against Freo was only by 10 points and we tied North Melbourne. However, Saturday's showed...

Australian entertainer Stuart Wagstaff, famous for various television and theatre roles including My Fair Lady and the theatrical production of The Sound of Music, has died aged 90. The legendary entertainer whose multi-faceted career was a pinnacle in the Australian landscape of theatre...

Another reality program coming up with an AFL superstar. Although this one they do say Hall of Fame AFL superstar, which is a bit closer to the truth than David Rodan. "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!" is yet another of those programs transplanted from the UK. It has been licensed globally...

Port fantasy prices for 2015 have come out. Here is the link, although you can get it from the afl site anyway. There are already 13 other teams on the site and there are tips on who to pick and not pick. Although there are a few things they haven't mentioned...

Any old farts here remember the tidal wave threat in the Dunstan years? We lived in Netherby and there were loads of people walking up Cross Rd to get to higher ground. Don Dunstan went to Glenelg Jetty to do a Canute.

Angus Bruggemann has become yet another player to leave Port and has joined Sturt. Although initially indicating his intent to stay and training with Port this year. http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2014-12-08/bruggemann-departs-port-Adelaide You can't really blame anyone for leaving with...

Jay Schulz played 7 seasons at Richmond and never played in 1 final. At Port Adelaide he has played 5 seasons and in the last two has played 4 finals for 3 wins and one loss. Matt White played 8 seasons at Richmond for no finals. He has played 1 season at Port Adelaide for 2 finals with a 100%...

Saw there's going to be an exclusive interview between Monfries and Tredders on 9 today about the "SA connection". What will this be, something to do with the Essendon supplements scandal?

Totally different to last week! Players wanted the ball and did not allow their opponents to handle it like a training run. I am glad to see Port had the character to stand up to so much criticism and come back like that. But it is true that Richmond have been one of the most over-hyped teams...

Channel 10 have just said that "Port is still holding up hope thatDean Brogan will be available to play against Colingwood." Does anyone have any idea what the real truth is? It's very difficult to believe any kind of press release you hear from Port about injuries. At least Lade has carried the...

In some of our games there will be an opposition player like Ben Cousins or Simon Black who should be tagged and Kane Cornes usually gets the job. But do you think Choco is going overboard with taggers? There is Cochrane, who is pretty much nothing but a tagger, Cassisi who can do a job but...

Everyone knows we have a lot of injuries but has anyone looked at it as a figure of games missed for the season 2004? Think of this : Francou; absent for 22 games of the season. Hardwick; at least 4. James; 5 or more. Pickett; 8. Primus; 21. Wakelin; 2. And Wilson may be absent for 2 at best...

Just been reading a thread entitled "Why is it that South Aussies do not want to play for Adelaide?" Most of the opinions seem to be pretty negative and linger on why Adelaide put so much effort into getting Carey and not Pavlich or other South Aussies from interstate. Wel, that is all ancient...

Is there someone at channel 10 who has the title CEO-biased commentators? I know Chris McDermott at AAMI is bad enough but he pales into comparison beside Peter Wilsons' eagle-coloured glasses. Every time there was a free given in the back lines to Port or a 50/50 against the Eagles he was off...

He certainly didn't look out of his depth and showed that as well as a long kick he also has an accurate one. Wasn't on the ground for all that often in the game, in fact I'm not sure if he was on at all before half time but I get the impression Port Magpies will have to do without him a lot...
