    The issue is, we do have to match, and teams know that, so we're a lock at getting a bid at pick 1 unless whoever gets pick 1 would rather screw over Carlton. There will 100% be a pick 1 bid, we just need to hope it's not for Dougie.

    Certainly the investment simply isn't worth it anymore. Wonder what the committee they've just announced into Indigenous participation will have much to say about that. Academies clearly work in driving growth, as the QLD academies have proven.

    Player Watch SSP (2025) - Josh Lai

    There weren't exactly a lot of players with laser accuracy in what was a finals like pressure game. I don't think it's fair to single anyone out, a lot of good kicks turned the ball over in the showdown.

    We're not overturning this in the courts. Arguing for that is just a stage of grief. What we should be doing is getting a commitment from the AFL that if the rules are changed again to be less stringent in the next few years, we get some sort of compensation pick to make up the difference. I...

    I think he's a star in the making and it's a shame his moment got taken away from him by an undisciplined last 40 seconds by the team.

    Our only chance of Cochrane not getting bid on at pick 1 is Walker getting bid on at pick 1. The club holding the number 1 pick is basically forced to bid if there is an elite talent because of the dumbass new rule giving them an extra pick.

    News Port Adelaide's Next Generation Academy

    While I don't think we're specifically being targeted, I do think the AFL see us as an easy target for this sort of screw job where they'll be able to see it blow over. What i'd like to see from the club is to petition the league that if the rules are determined to be too stringent, which they...

    Yep, it's the same if they bring in the dumb 2 picks in the first round to match idea. All of a sudden late first round picks become more expensive, benefiting clubs that just finished at the top of the ladder. These rules are so poorly thought out.

    Opinion It's now clear: Winning is not a priority for us in 2026

    Oh hey I concede completely on this. But the last quarter of the Saints game where we just went through the motions to see the loss out was was chalk and cheese compared to the last 2 games. I wonder what changed.

    Wonderful footballer right up until he gets a set shot. Where is the automatic set shot we saw in his first couple of seasons? Get Jay Schulz down there.

    Review ANZAC Day 2026 vs Geelong

    Vis is learning to move really well in the forward line. Clear development. Uses his body well and is quick and athletic. Offering more than Lord or Lukosius. If he could hold a mark he'd be a real weapon up there.

    For some of the people on this board who dropped off in the Hinkley era and haven't found their way back yet for whatever reason, and absolutely no shade at you for doing so, I urge you to watch that game. A positive, exciting, watchable game plan executed by courageous, dedicated and talented...

    I ****ing hate this campaigner. He hurt our chances over his entire tenure by overpaying to fill needs because he couldn't develop players, had no success, and now he's lecturing on the merits of his approach. **** off idiot.

    They're going to introduce the rules, realise they're too stringent and have dumb unintended consequences, and loosen them back off after they've ****ed us. We will get no compensation for this.

    I hadn't really thought about how we've just rolled up with Not Giving In again as the runout song but yeah the matchday presentation is so stale that if it was a baguette you could use it to rob a bank. NTUA is fine, it's become it's own thing, and you only had to go to the gather round game...

    The shade of teal just looked very washed out. I get what they were going for but I didn't think it looked good on a footy guernsey. The chevrons are an all around underwhelming design for Port Adelaide so the colours usually carry the guernsey but that shade of teal didn't do it for me.

    He was excellent at getting a team to 6/10 performance. It didn't matter if you should be 2/10 or 9/10, you were going to play 6/10. Maybe that'll be good for clubs like Tassie or Essendon? I don't know, just glad he's not here.

    Where does the 1954–59 run sit in Port Adelaide’s history?

    I was born in the mid 80s so it was obviously way before my time, but I see it as the time that the club's incredible culture was truly forged, and you could argue that there is a direct line from that era to the 2004 Premiership.

    The all black back with white cuffs looks like a St Kilda kit from the back. It's not the worst variation of the failure chevrons, that was last week.

    MRP / Trib. Zak Butters wins the Appeal

    If they're sure he said it, fine him $7500 like Dale Thomas was for calling the umpire a cheat. The AFL are hedging their bets here by fining the minimum. They aren't sure so they're "backing their umpire" in the weakest way possible. An absolute farce.

    And i'm pretty sure the later pick values were significantly lowered. As Philthy says, the changes needed have already been made. Let the paint dry on those before going 5 times as hard for no reason.

    Opinion It's now clear: Winning is not a priority for us in 2026

    Culture is more important than list quality in terms of winning a premiership. You can win a premiership with a mid level list if your culture is strong enough. Similarly you can miss the 8 if you've got a bedwetting loser as a coach despite having an incredible list. We should know that better...
