    2nds North Adelaide vs Port Adelaide - Trial Match 1 @ Thebarton

    That could be the strongest Maggie's line up for quite some time, the best 4 or 5 top ups are decent sanfl players and if the 4 new draftees are up to sanfl standard at this early stage of their careers ( they all showed something in the trial matches to at least suggest they could be) and with...

    SANFL List Management 2023-24

    From memory that reserve's team contained a lot of Academy players during the brisvegas seed thrower's time at the club, and you are right they were copping regular horrendous cricket score size smackings from most other clubs' magoos line ups! You may know the answer to this, but I can't...

    SANFL List Management 2023-24

    That has been a problem since virtually day one of the current sanfl set up, where unfortunately too many blokes who have worn the PB's in recent times wouldn't have lasted one training session under Fos Williams or Jack Cahill, or more likely wouldn't have been invited to train in the first...

    SANFL List Management 2023-24

    My memories of Wally are from when I was 9 or 10 years old in the late 1950's and of him being an exceptionally accurate set shot for goal, and unless my memory is failing me his preferred kicking style for those set shots was usually an immaculate drop kick.

    MVP SANFL 2023 Magarey Medal Count

    Agreed, Matt Thomas was another very average player to `win' the Magarey, I doubt he would have won the magoo's version of it back when it was a genuinely strong competition, and as you suggest the recipients in the last 25 years just don't belong on the same list as champions like Ebert...

    2nds Centrals vs Port Adelaide - Elimination Final @ Adelaide Oval

    The whole set up is rubbish, there are players wearing the PB's for the Maggies now who wouldn't have been good enough to make junior grades at Alberton in the past, and now a kid who could live across the road from the club and whose family has followed the PAFC for generations is tied to the...

    2nds Centrals vs Port Adelaide - Elimination Final @ Adelaide Oval

    I watched the 2nd half of the tingles v blue baggers game and as difficult as it is to say this the Maggies wouldn't have got within 7 or 8 goals of either team, and even if they had won today's elimination final next week against the blue baggers would have almost certainly been a smashing...

    2nds Centrals vs Port Adelaide - Round 18 @ Elizabeth

    Too much was given up for `One Club ' pieman, the snafl bent Port over more than ever before and then went in bone dry on that deal, the top up players usually aren't good enough to make other club's magoos, and on the odd occasion we do unearth a good one other clubs can offer him multiple...

    2nds Centrals vs Port Adelaide - Round 18 @ Elizabeth

    I heard McCormack was going to play the bagpipes for the North Gawler drum and fife band today but decided to ditch the tartan kilt and put on the footy boots instead, and then he justified that decision by having two more hit outs than the total of two AFL listed players combined...

    I was out for most of the day and only checked this thread occasionally and obviously he had plenty of mates who were also down today, but geez we need Sinn to have a big preseason and hit the ground running in 2024.

    2nds WWT Eagles vs Yartapuulti - Round 12 @ Woodville

    Didn't see any of it but that sounds like a strong win by the Maggies, and keeping the eagles scoreless in the last qtr on their own dung hill has to add a big plus to the result, it will be interesting to hear from those that attended the game who they thought set the win up for us.

    Go the Maggies, a win is obviously better than losing particularly when the game is played at Alberton!

    2nds Norwood vs Port Adelaide - Round 10 @ The Parade

    I can't recall anything about Koch and Thomas wanting to retain our involvement in the SANFL under age competitions pieman and have been under the impression a major part of the one club agreement was that we always had to give up our zones which made it virtually impossible to field under age...

    2nds Norwood vs Port Adelaide - Round 10 @ The Parade

    I believe nord were given our country zone (the west coast of SA) as part of the one club deal, and what a kick in the guts that was for locals who have supported Port for generations, and Woodville West Torrens got our traditional suburban zone.

    2nds Norwood vs Port Adelaide - Round 10 @ The Parade

    Max James was another senior premiership player who played a fair bit of magoo's footy in the early 70's, I can recall him kicking two enormous goals in the same qtr on the run, and from well outside what is now the 50 metre line at the bowling green end of Alberton.

    Yep, apart from 1974 and 75 when I was talked into making a come back in the Glenelg/South comp my saturday morning routine for years was to watch the ressies on tv until about half way through the 2nd qtr, and then depending on where the game was played usually arrive at the ground early in the...

    The scumps had sfa to do with that result, the nord players were up for the contest and we weren't, there were way too many weak and pathetic efforts from numerous players wearing black and white and quite a few are unfortunately AFL listed. As for Jonas, the bloke has clearly played at least...

    I saw Phil on the parade about 5 or 6 years ago when he obviously needed help to get out of a car and when he did he used a cane to walk, so I'm wondering if he was propped up by by something in that pic with Stephen Williams and its been photoshopped out.

    Assuming Tom Jonas plays for the Maggies on saturday I suspect it may be the first time he has represented an oppo team on his old dung hill.

    2nds Port Adelaide vs South Adelaide - Round 6 @ Alberton

    This weeks game against the Dees monolith rucks would be the ideal time to play Lycett and Hayes in tandem, the former for the bash and crash stuff and the latter to change off the bench with him as required. Dixon is arguably the only other `ruckman' on the Port list who is currently capable...

    Fair point pieman but you may recall Bruce Light was accused of consistently over running the ball, and/or failing to pick it up when he had time and space back in the late 1960's, and he became a state player by the early 1970's and a premiership wingman in 1977. Lachie Jones may not reach...

    It's fairly standard for blokes to struggle athletically the season after a knee reco, but Pasini appears to have lost his decision making skills as well. He appears to be half metre slower than what he was before the op and that could be the problem.

    I'm beginning to wonder if the bun fight about the proposed new stadium in Hobart could slow down that state's entry into the AFL. I don't watch the SBS news much if at all, but last night the female senator (the one who can sometimes look like she has been sleeping under a bridge for a month)...

    2nds Port Adelaide vs Norwood - Round 5 @ Alberton

    Re the development of Josh Sinn I'm hoping he is one of those players (ala Bergmann) who will perform much better at the higher level when he has better players around him, but that aside I would still prefer the club leave him at the Maggies for most of this season. I can't recall too many...

    2nds Port Adelaide vs Norwood - Round 5 @ Alberton

    I just hope the blokes representing the Maggies are switched on for today's game as I have seen much better Port teams pushed to the limit by some fairly ordinary nord teams at Alberton in past decades. Regardless of form or respective ladder positions their players would often lift for games...

    The sanfl site has been stuck on Port 84 to West 62 for more than 9 minutes, what an absolute sh*t show that site is! Can anyone tell me the current score please? Edit RossFC just put it up!

    Today's effort is head and shoulders above anything else the magoos have displayed so far this season. Not sure about the quality of the oppo, but they did beat South last week so hopefully we are nowhere near wooden spoon territory after all.

    2nds Sturt vs Port Adelaide - Round 3 @ Unley

    CHF ( which is where I believe he started) is the hardest gig of the lot so they didn't do him any favours, and unfortunately he isn't the first player at Alberton to show promise and then fall away badly under the current regime.
