    Analysis 2023 All Australian Team Awards Night

    No point in the punters picking the AA team like a real team if the actual recognised selectors don't. However i would like to see an alternative AA team comprised of the best players resembling what is generally regarded as a normal football team e.g AA team would comprise of the best...

    Is Port 11 the worst team since Fitzroy 96 ??

    Incredibly we may have been even worse the following year losing to GWS by 6 goals in their first season. However the following year we won a final (CWD at the G) then lost by a goal to Geelong the following week. So when it turns, it can turn quick.

    Opinion Why is Trent Cotchin hated by so many ?

    I think originally it was because he used to run around chalking up alot of junk stats for a Richmond side that were a bit of a laughing stock, the kicking into the wind in a final, doing a press conference after a humiliating finals loss dressed as Gene Simmons etc. Then when he completely...

    Underrated (poster boy) Josh francou

    Dion Prestia. Richmond don't play a high possession game so he doesn't get to fluff his stats with junk or be fawned upon by fantasy players, but his impact on games is more than most more heralded midfielders.

    NO TROLLS Zorko Sledge Towards Petty Revealed

    We mustn't also forget about the wellbeing of Harrison Petty either. I cant help but feel in some way he too has been a victim in all this.

    NO TROLLS EDDIE BETTS, JOSH JENKINS & the Crow's Camp. A knife, a harness and the ‘power stance’: Eddie Betts reveals ‘cult-like’ training camp

    By putting the Crows hierarchy through a cert IV in business via his shady training institute?

    Schulz Gone From Port...

    No real surprise. Schulzy's attack on the ball was brave that often crossed the line to total stupidity. What's even more crazy was he was often doing this during the 2009-2012 era when we were often 100+ points down at the time. Really hope he gets better as he was a Port favourite (partly for...

    Roast Dermott Brereton: "Wayne Carey is a better analyst than Daisy Pearce"

    Wayne was a better footballer than Daisy. Come at me cancel culture...

    Stupid AFL questions you wouldn't mind knowing the answers to?

    Can the snicko or edge or whatever its called tell the difference between the ball or a player hitting the post? I've always thought on set shots there should be a player on each post and if it gets close just bump the post. The cameras rarely pick up if a ball has glanced the post so if you can...

    Who at your club could be AA for the first time in 2021?

    He legitimately plays on the wing though, which automatically disqualifies him from being named there.

    Players who have actually got better in their early 30s

    Travis Boak would be a candidate however i dont think this season he has been better than what he was in 2013 and 2014. he dropped away for a couple of years in 2017 & 18, then bounced back last year, although his drop in form was more to do with playing up forward for a couple of years than...

    The best young ruckman???

    Pistol has a lot of assets, good mover for a big bloke, loves getting on the end of possession chains and has shown a bit up forward, biggest issue for him (other than being a pantsman in a pandemic) is the ruckwork itself. Been monstered a few times now (Ryder this year, Goldy and Pittonet...

    Rolling All Australian Team 2020

    Cant argue with the forwards you have on the ground but might be time Zak Butters starts getting thrown in the mentions. Stats stack up pretty well alongside the likes of Wingard, J Martin, etc. Best thing about Butters is that it feels like all his touches are important ones, and there arent...

    The peculiar case of anthony stevens seat in the afl hall of fame

    Mark Bickley is always the one that sticks out to me. I dont really get the captain argument either, you never hear stories that it was his courageous captaincy that galvanised the group etc its always Blighty who gets the credit for turning the Crows around. And you cant even use the good...

    Why are the Suns still being flown to Covictoria this weekend?

    Matt Rowell's sweat is a possible vaccine. So they will wring his jumper out after the game and start delivering droplets to Melbourne hotspots.

    Adelaide's decline

    Not exactly. Crows used the money Tippett freed up to attract Eddie Betts, so that actually worked out quite well in the end (besides the draft pick penalty of course).

    Adelaide's decline

    I don't mind someone from a club and giving a forthright opinion (although you have to be prepared for the inevitable backlash, and at this current moment you'd think crows would be better off just copping the criticism and keeping quiet). However if Roo is going to be so honest and forthright...

    Expansion Tassie Devils

    If they are going to be called the Tassie Devils then Wayne McDaniel needs to be the CHF.

    Adelaide's decline

    This year's draft will be the most important in Crows history. Had a very successful 2015-17 period but couldn't top it off with a premiership. At the risk of the future (it seemed rightly at the time) tried to top up for another crack, but for a myriad of reasons the cliff came quicker than...

    Not so obvious players to watch out for

    I had pretty well given up hope that Sam Powell-pepper would fulfill the potential he had shown in his rookie season (with port at least). However he was clearly BOG in the game against the Doggies and influential in the won over the Lions. He seems to be kicking drop punts, hitting targets...

    Port Adelaide accused of Anniversary Club Logo Theft

    I am not across copyright law. Is there some database where you register designs and if so did this person do it? If not is an organisation expected to trawl through every social media account on social media to see whether someone has put together a design that might look similar. Does it...

    Xavier Duursma Bow and Arrow

    This seems to really upset you. Just out of curiosity what are your thoughts on Conor Mckenna and him doing a 'solo' during live play? Especially during the third quarter when his team is losing, he does a solo for no reason and then kicks it out on the full. If a bow and arrow sets you off...

    Who are the most overrated players?

    Not exactly overrated but one player i cant believe still is getting AFL games, or at least playing in the role that he does is Seb Ross. Everytime i see him kick its a turnover. The best thing the opposition can do is let him find the footy, yet he appears to play for St Kilda in a role where...

    Michael Walters constant diving

    That footage of Walters trying to blatantly blindside Viney with a dirty bump when Viney isn’t even bracing for or expecting contact is one of the more amusing incidents of this season. Embarrassing for Walters that A) he is the one that gets floored B) completely does the opposite when Jones...

    Analysis Trades that didn't work out for the player

    From what i remember Dean Gore was highly rated at Geelong. Crows demanded he was included in the Dangerfield deal, never got a sniff at Adelaide and was out of the league and I believe ended up back playing VFL football in Geelong. Troy Menzel another that it didnt seem to go to plan...

    Famous/infamous coach meltdowns and player-sprays

    I vaguely recall a game (possibly at Subi) when people sitting near the coaches box complained about the language. The coppers had to go to the coaches box and tell Rocket to tone it down. Amazing the AFL appointed this bloke to coach the suns and get their their franchise back on track.

    Why is everyone down on North?

    Probably because if you were to do a list of positives for all 18 clubs most would look better then what you have provided for North. Bottom 6 for me. Although both Hall & Polec certainly have their attributes they require the whole team to adapt to play with them, as they don't really tackle...

    All-Time Most Mysterious Games

    I remember sitting in the outer for Port vs Richmond at Footy Park in 2008 or 2009 as Mitch Morton (5) and Cleve Hughes (6) kicked 11 between them to get the Tiges up by less than a goal.
