    Thank you Luke Shuey

    Sure, but it's still not a free to him because he lifted the tackler's arm high. Play on.

    Are Port Overrated?

    Redden is a battler because he has been injured since round 12 2013. At that time, before the emergence of Lobbe in the second half of that year, he was regarded by a lot of Port people as the best ruckman on our list. For all I know, he'll never play AFL again, but "battler" is a tough call...

    Are Port Overrated?

    What claims did I make? I am genuinely pleased that an opposition supporter would rate Freo and Brisbane's midfields superior to ours. If does me as a Port supporter no disservice whatsoever. I don't agree with it, but I'm happy to hear people say it. FWIW, right now our status is no more or no...

    Are Port Overrated?

    What do you want us to do? Agree that Brisbane and Freo's midfields are comfortably better than ours, after finishing higher than both teams this year? Port supporters are darned if they disagree with this thread because we are then labelled as suddenly obnoxious or arrogant or getting ahead of...

    You little ripper. More posts like this please.

    Are Port Overrated?

    And yet when we won the '04 premiership with Francou and Primus missing from season-long knee injuries, all we heard for the next decade was how Brisbane were robbed by the AFL Finals fixture.

    Are Port Overrated?

    Not at all. Great performer for us on a consistent basis. Looking to improve our side though and therefore considering all potential weaknesses. Sarge is a key for us. To be even better in finals though, we need him (or another key forward) kicking bags of 4-6 goals against the best defences...

    Are Port Overrated?

    Schulz's kicking throughout the finals was down. Had a heap of good, clean possessions against the Hawks for not much scoreboard return, and the story wasn't much better in the previous two weeks.

    Are Port Overrated?

    I think this is the genuine concern for a lot of Port supporters also. Schulz has been very good for us for the past three years especially, but he is yet to take a final by the scruff of the next like Buddy or Roughy, and certainly his goal output falls away a bit against the stronger...

    Love it. Crows supporters........:rolleyes:. Put on earth to ask the tough questions of everyone but their own.

    Is there such a thing as 'clutch' in the AFL? If so, who has it?

    Last year Wingard was the best at it. Kicked so many last half/quarter goals when games were on the line. Has already done it again in this year's showdown and was on the verge of doing it last week again, before getting injured.

    Port Adelaide are a wonderful team to watch

    That was clearly Tredrea getting his facts wrong a couple of weeks ago. We may push 80km/w in preseason, but I doubt we would be coming close to it in-season.

    Port Adelaide, Western Bulldogs or Melbourne?

    No, I mean the next coming of Dale Morris - The glove, Tom Jonas.

    N no Jonas???? Wow.

    Which club has the best celebrity fans?

    Don't forget Darren Cahill who then got Andre Agassi on board and Stuart O'Grady.

    St Kilda - surely its rebuild mode

    The bleating over the umpiring creating that result is embarrassing. Contested possessions were comfortably in Port's favour today and throughout the last quarter in particular, Port players wanted the ball much more, were more desperate and more courageous. With two of our best four players to...

    What did you learn from round 1?

    Chad Wingard may have other ideas.

    Port Adelaide WILL play finals in 2012

    Too many "Ifs" for us to be taken seriously as a chance to sneak into the 8, although a finish above the bottom 4 would be a significant enough improvement. Nice to see a little bit of recognition that we do have some quality on our list but it has to be a couple of years away from maturing...

    How good can Butcher be?

    We've got to play him because our supporters need some bloody hope. He's all we have at the moment and he's doing his darnest to drag his teammates up with him. If he had been paid the 4 holding the man and 4 holding the ball decisions he should have had in his first 3 matches, he could have...

    Just how bad can things get for Port?

    We're destined for at least one more year (2012) the equivalent of this year (could be even worse with more >100 point beltings). In terms of losing young players, most Port people acknowledge that there are only 6-10 players we really want to keep anyway. Carlile, Chaplin, Pearce may go...

    Jackson Trengove

    Note, that in my post I avoided likening Phil Davis to Scott Stevens, or some other serviceable Crows defender who's had a good but not great career. Geoffa's likening of Trengove to Thurstans was either a clear troll, or reflects that he hasn't watched Trengove at all closely in his first year...

    Jackson Trengove

    Of those, Frawley, Hurley (who may well play alot up forward), N. Brown (Collingwood), Trengove and Davis are the young standouts for CHB. Taylor has 2-3 years of age on most of them and is arguably more accomplished at the present time. All of those kids will be great defenders over time, but I...

    Jackson Trengove

    Geoffa, you've always struck me as a not-so-pseudo Port troll. You try to intellectualise your posts to hide their biased anti-Port bullshit. By comparing Trengove to Thurstans, you have undone any credibility you may ever have given yourself when posting about matters of Port. Davis may...

    Anyone feel like Port doesnt exist?

    This really says more about you as a general footy supporter though. When my team plays any opponent, I make sure I know who all of their players are, even if they're on the fringes or only recently recruited............and I'm bloody following it from Minnesota. The fact that most people's...

    Anyone feel like Port doesnt exist?

    As a Port supporter, this is the post that hits closest to home and that speaks the most truth. All of the above symptoms we've displayed in the post 2004 period were largely manifestations of Choco's personal biases. He chose for us to recruit downhill skiers and to play "fast, attractive...

    Is Goddard gone

    In the absence of any malicious, dog-acts in yesterday's game, it would be a terrible shame for any player from either side to miss the replay for fairly minor indiscretions. The GF replay deserves for all players who participated yesterday to be available for selection...

    Ranking Your Back Six

    Port's back six is starting to get a good look to it for the future, with three very decent tall defenders, a great small stopper who is severely under-rated in Surjan and a couple of mid-sized players who are defensively strong: FB.......Surjan........Carlile.........P. Stewart...

    Umpires doing it for Cousins

    Nah, there were a bunch of holding the ball decisions that should have been paid our way in the second half, especially in our forward line during the third quarter. Still, we were to blame for not finding a way to break Richmond's momentum out of the midfield. Luckily for us, we had Boak...

    Jay Schulz

    This thread is quickly degenerating into a Port v Richmond discussion about how youthful our sides are and who's closest to a flag. Time will tell but both clubs are currently playing determined, honest footy under enthusiastic, disciplined young coaches. The Schulz v Farmer trade has worked...

    Seriously is Daniel Motlop the laziest footballer currently playing???

    Really, really want him out of our club. He infests the team with laziness. The coaches and some supporters have over-talked his chasing and second efforts in previous seasons. I'm not convinced that he's ever been effective at applying defensive effort on a consistent basis. His...
