This nearly happened to us once. Aaron Young was halfway to the airport and had to turn around and come to the game due to a late late out, didn't get back until about 10 minutes into the first quarter.

You blokes love a good Victorian conspiracy, right?
Gary Ablett wants to return from the Suns to the Cats. Cats and Suns struggling to agree on a trade. AFL realises how bad a look it would be if one of the best players of all time was held to his contract with the Suns against his will, or...
Riley Knight looking like being best 22, and ideally getting some midfield time? Need a forward under 200k (RDT prices) and I've already got Jack Bowes. No other names jumping out at me.
If:
Port beat Gold Coast and whatever reserves side Ross Lyon sends over in Round 23; and
North lose their next three (all against teams above them on the ladder); and
Port make up enough percentage points during that time to overtake North; and
Geelong gets one win and one loss from their next...
All the best, head injuries are nasty stuff and you hate to see it.
Nine News would say that a hangnail was extremely serious if they thought it would get them ratings (although that's not as bad as Seven's 'Brent Reilly has suffered a serious head injury, find out how serious after the...
And replace him with a triple premiership captain with 5 years of senior coaching experience.
A) Monfries' PF was the first good game he had played in about 4 months, and Ryder hasn't played for us at all yet. We finished 3rd last year without Ryder and with very little from Monfries.
B) If...
Seriously good signing if true. Haysman had the balls to stand up to the boys club mentality holding back SA football even when he was stuck at Port at our lowest ebb and the SANFL were his bosses. Can't wait to see how hard he goes at a club which owns its own license and which has a stronger...
Surely this isn't real? SURELY? How on earth did you guys deal with this flog for thirteen years?
In the unlikely event that it is real and not just a mate winding you up, there are several reasons why any claim for defamation for that banner would fail spectacularly, and I'm sure a man who's...
Wouldn't be jumping for joy, but I'd rather have that happen than have a player keep that little fact to himself and then leave us with nothing in two years ala Ben Jacobs (although the main reason that we shouldn't have drafted Jacobs is because he's ****ing useless).
It's cute how you guys are placing the blame for this entirely on Port. Here's a few of the people who have publicly opposed this idea.
Kevin Sheedy, Leigh Matthews, Eddie McGuire, Stephen Kernahan (former SA state of origin player), Garry McIntosh (former SA state of origin player), Lindsay...
Interesting to see him at pains to emphasise that 'It certainly does resemble the state jumper, I suppose, but it's a Crows jumper'. Dangerfield clearly has no desire to represent South Australian football, but I'm glad he's managed to do some mental gymnastics to pretend that it's not what he's...
So no positive opinion pieces then? Good to know.
Right, so everybody associated with every other club is biased towards the Crows. You've positioned yourself nicely in this argument then, haven't you? Every non-Crows supporter is either clearly blinded by their overwhelming bias against you...
Positive and neutral are not interchangeable words. They're news outlets, they're required to be neutral (and most sports presenters on South Australian TV are Crow affiliated anyway). Show me an opinion piece that's not from a Crows supporter which speaks about the move in a positive way.
Why...
The public debate and media coverage that you've gotten has been overwhelmingly negative. Not just from Port fans. Check out any post on this subject on Facebook or Bigfooty and compare the amount of people who are for it to those who are against it. Greats of the game like Leigh Matthews and...
Did you go to watch the Crows play Melbourne in the last game at AAMI last year? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming the big screen celebrations before the game didn't feature any historic Demons moments at the ground. The home team arranges the pre and post-match entertainment. That's...
They, like the AFC, would rather troll Port Adelaide than properly honour their heritage. Drugs Are Bad Mackay? mentioned the possibility of showing highlights of SANFL greats like Robran, McIntosh etc on the big screen before the game. Pull this stunt off at your first home game at Adelaide...
Oh silly me, I forgot that your guernsey has a slightly different shade of blue so it's clearly a completely different jumper to the state guernsey.
Then why not wear it with pride for your first game at Adelaide Oval rather than misappropriating a guernsey which does not belong to you?
Lol I woke up this morning with 37 notifications :D Not replying to all of them, but I'll reply to this one.
Those players were representing the South Australian Football League against the football leagues of other states. They were selected on merit to represent South Australia in a...
AHAHAHA, yep, that must be it. That's why we trotted out Matt Thomas to do all our media work last year rather than Boak or Ebert :D
Divisiveness is great. I love the rivalry. Snarky comments in the media and on Twitter (credit where credit is due, that 'Adelaide travelling to Adelaide for...
We're not the ones marketing ourselves as a faux-state team. 45 players on our list qualify as Port Adelaide because they were all recruited to the Port Adelaide Football Club. If we made them wear a state guernsey while they were supposed to be representing our CLUB, that would be a different...
Wow, that didn't take long.
So why was Scott Thompson trotted out in front of the media for the announcement rather than VB, Dangerfield or Sloane?
And Leigh Matthews, Kevin Sheedy and Mark Robinson,among other prominent media personalities. And about 90% of the neutrals on the main board...
