Since then, Kornes said it will add pressure to the club and Hinkley, Adelaide Now has an article, MMM and 5AA will be discussing it. Not to mention he's sure to have pissed off Gold Coast. Good one Kochie.
Its also bad timing, Port would have wanted the Family day to be in the media spotlight and have a week of feel good stories, instead they have to share the news with negative based stories, what a way to disrupt good news stories and from their own Chairman as well.

B: Wigg, Talia, Doedee
Hb: Douglas, Hartigan, Laird
C: Cameron, M Crouch, Knight
Hf: Lynch, Walker, Atkins
F: Menzel, McGovern, Dear
R: Jacobs, Hampton, Smith
I: Otten, O'Brien, Ellis-Yolmen, Greenwood, Gallucci, Polhoke

Interrupted preseason: Sloane, B Crouch, Thompson, Brown, Seedsman, Cheney, Brown, Jenkins, Keath

On ice: Betts
I would rest both Walker and Jenkins(he had an interrupted pre season anyway) and give Paul Hunter a gig at FF or CHF along with Dear. Both are very mobile big men.

Ha what was the basis of that (and why does he think its up to them?!) Its not to do with GC wearing red is it?
Yes. If GC want this to be a one year only deal, they'll wear their home strip. Basically threatened them to wear their away strip even though it's in the AFL's interest to have them wear the Chinese national colors.

so seeing as we've got all these hammies twinging lets ask a few questions:

1. Was Burton just a boys club appointment who got to ride Poulos' coat-tails last year?
2. Has the decision to promote Burton to head of football and replace him with an assistant from within already hurt us?
3. Did we actually throw out the bikes when Sando arrive or just stash them down in the back shed? and have they been out again this preseason?

I'd be surprised if the club actually thought Hass was the best person for the job, I think they just thought he can do the job and they didn't have time to headhunt before the pre-season. I would bet Burton is still heavily involved in the fitness department in 2017 and the club would be putting their feelers out for a world class fitness person over the next 12 months.

All of these hammies?

You mean the 2 that have been done. And 1 of those players has notoriously unreliable hammies.....
