It’s been a terrific year of looking forward to being good in 2020. I for one, can’t see how anything could possibly go wrong next year. With Ken Hinkley leading a group of exciting, eager-to-learn youngsters, finally this year we have been able to consider that we will be good at a later date...

We are in rebuild mode. The club hasn’t/won’t say it, but the list is being reset and we are doing a pretty bloody sterling job of it IMHO. As the club has managed its trade assets to acquire multiple first-round or early second round picks in recent years, a wave of talent born in the...

Jeep, NIB, Hostplus, Nathan Broad’s... all youse

You think I’m joking

Too many Bombers that rip us apart, we’re spoilt for choice as to who to apply the forward tag to... Orazio Fantasia - would be my choice, if he has a quiet one we can reduce his trade value for this off season Jake Stringer - the Package always has one out of the box against us. Even in...

Ok Power fans It’s time to put forward your favourite animated images (sub-question: GIF or ‘JIF’?) as a react to the following coaches being appointed as our new coach. I’ll get the ball rolling with, state league tactical marvel: Nathan ‘Freddy’ Bassett

“How do you wind down in the coaches’ box after the team has coughed up a 5 goal lead in the first term?” “How do you have a difficult conversation when dropping a player that you brought into the team to tag the Brownlow favourite, only to have it colossally backfire by allowing literally...

Hey guys, very good word on the street that Zac Butters is a bit of an aloof loner around the club. Was thinking we could brainstorm and come up with some ideas for activities for Zac to help him settle in to Adelaide, particularly during school holidays when most of his mates are up the river...

What if we’re good now? ¿What. If. Weir. Good. Now? We’re good now.* Buckle up kernts

Doing good things up in Brissy (or BrisVegas, if you’ll indulge me!) Just love how even though he’s a big lumberer, he can clunk a big mark. Just what we need in crunch time of these tight games Not sure if he has the running power to play our game style, but I’m sure after a preseason or two...

Hey guys thought you needed some cheering up, so just wanted to reminisce about the time Chappy have Choco a big cuddle after the 2004 premiership. Please list your equally fun happy memories of the great man here

Hey guys for a limited time only I’m glad to answer your Port-related questions. Brent Guerra’s hair circa 2000-2003, the inspiration behind the hugely successful Dulmial Gun nickname, Mel michael being robbed of the 2004 Norm Smith in a losing team, srsly no topic is out of bounds.

Couldn’t be more patently obvious, no? Free the players up to attack, take the game on, ‘be brave’, force the action etc. Pretty clear at the moment we are entirely defense first, foremost and only; reading betwixt the lines this seems to be down to Bassett’s influence and look, he was very...

Asking for a friend. The Australian people are entitled to have their say. Mods pls fl free 2 mrg wth Welcome Trent thread. Trent McKenzie (R) and friend celebrate the 2019 premiership

Thoughts? https://theconversation.com/xi-jinping-unveils-chinas-new-leadership-team-86406 The newly elected leadership team comprises five new members, all of whom bring economic and international experience to the table that will shape the direction of Chinese policies over the next five...

No, we shouldn't.

He will definitely pull a mammoth once in a career effort out of his arse to beat us at Etihad next year. A good dude, been impressed by his work in mental health awareness recently. Will remember a tremendous workmanlike 2014 season. PS is it low-bee or lob-ee

Hi guys,

aka "Grimey", as she liked to be known Any fans out there? Probably the artist making the best and most interesting music at the moment, in my limited and humble opinion. Pretty cool pop tunes, some very danceable but with enough of an artistic twist to differentiate it. Saw her at Laneway...

Paul Stewart reflects on his surprise return to the team, mentoring young players and pursuit of 100 games with well-regarded Adelaide scribe Michelangelo Rucci...

Looks like the cat is out of the bag. Port games to be shown starting with Essendon this week. http://m.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2016-04-03/port-adelaide-cctv-partnership

Found this article on The Conversation. Very interesting read. http://theconversation.com/is-winning-all-that-matters-in-afl-or-does-the-performance-count-52907 Obviously strength of schedule has too much of an impact on shaping positions 5-12 on the ladder. According to this we are 7th in...

Hi folks, just a new separate thread to alert you to our new shows on the Portfanradio network (we are also pork fans, specifically banh mi, but that's neither here nor there). In our latest podcast for the 2016 preseason, we review the NAB Challenge loss to Sydney, and make our predictions for...

Couldn't see a relevant thread. Our Academy just unleashed a 6.2 to no score first quarter against the undefeated WWT team - winner goes into the GF.

Last week in the media Ken was saying that we had 'three modes of ball movement' during a game, presumably based on situation and position on the field. For our enhanced enjoyment of the game, I'm wondering if we can put our heads together and identify what these modes are? All I can come up...

OK folks, with our season done and dusted, the focus shifts firmly to preparation for 2016. The question is: how far into the untried proportion of our list will we go in our remaining AFL games? Thus, the Port Board Selection Game. Picking three of our untried players, you will score points...

I seem to be in constant pursuit of the best snack food out there. Something you can graze on at work/home/uni that is tasty, fairly nutritious and doesn't require any preparation time. At the moment I'm on chickpea crisps like the ones shown below (different brand but basically same product)...

Hey guys. Been a while, years probably, since I've posted not the board, thought you might be interested in this though. Having a decent amount of time on my hands this year, I decided how an MVP race would look if it was determined in the same way as we do the AFL Brownlow. As a result, I've...
