This thread will be interesting reading in the future. Burning or opting out of memberships is not an option for true Port fans. We support through good and bad times ...even when coaches and administrators do things that appear ridiculous.
Weve been a much darker times than this.

This is worse than the dark days.. we've got all the resources we wanted and we are making terrible decisions.

On top of that, using the AFL calculator he still f****** got it wrong anyway. We're supposed to end up ahead on deals idiot!

You like to "think" you win on trades. So does the person on the other end of the trade, otherwise why would the other team do it??

A calculator ( a whole different story on its accuracy) tells him it's about an even trade, he feels we need 2 extra picks NOW. So he actually thinks he wins the trade.

Yes he should have explained it like this...

3 years is exactly 6 games for Jonas to clean up Eddie Betts and serve a nice suspension in between.

The darkest times in the PAFC, in terms of on-field competitiveness, have all come in the last decade!!

 

[snozulu]

3 years for a bloke who has barely fired a shot for the last two seasons, and who was apparently on the trade table ( at his own request ) is a joke, but unfortunately no-one is laughing.

It won't surprise me if during that 3 years TJ plays more games for the Maggies, than he does for the Power.

I doubt it will be much coin

Just catching up on todays news.

We need to make the finals for this trade to be decent.

Yonas is not even in our best 18 should have not got a 3 year deal, 1 would have been enough.

FU Richmond for taking Nankervis.

Wouldnt happen to be an ex TPFP poster would you? You have a distinct RCG scent to you!

Whats a TPFP poster or RCG scent?
Anyone?

Darker than J Macs passing? Dumber than Primus appointment?
I dont agree with you

 

[noot]

He's a player that absolutely screams "I'm not built for modern football". Imagine Jonas on Clay Smith, a rotating Bontempelli, Macrae or Stringer. He's too small for talls, and too big for smalls - yet we consistently play him on both. Slow, terrible kick, no attacking side to his game.

I don't understand it.

Oh BOO!! one of the only players on our list that screams "dont fu^^k with me" has a huge tank is a great interseptor just wish he could play more midfield and maybe he could if given the op would def help out ollie

 

[Byrons Firen]

This deal will look great when he's taking tom clurey's spot in defence. Yeah.

He and Broadbent have been doing that for long enough. Seriously wtf is going on? We were going to be ruthless this trade period
yet before it's even over TJ gets a 3yr contract. Based on what? Ken likes him .... well we knew that anyway. Jonas is slow in
leg speed, decision making and barely played any good footy this last season. His performance was mediocre and yet he gets this !!!!!!!
Hinkley has lost the plot. The PAFC is not your play thing mate. You've been here the proverbial 5mins playing on our history for all
you can milk out of it. "Port Adelaide football.......we'll never ever give up, the Creed" blah blah. The last 2yrs have seen us slowly
become a joke and no-ones laughing.

Er..correct. We should be able to voice opinion but giving up on membership is a big decision.

 

[Jonts]

So after catching up on the last thirty pages few questions and comments

Can't see us winning the trade unless we nail 19/30 (unlikely) or finish top four next year (unlikely)

Everyone at the club has in uncountable

Jonas is on how many dollars?

So after having 13 players on the trade table we traded 0?

"Very active" in the trade table my ass

 

[TheFVK]

Y'all just salty

As always, I'll invest a comical amount of time and money to have a ringside seat and backstage access to whatever these Novetober seeds germinate into.

And when Darlene Nicotine-Staine gives it the "dharrr, you're a Port supporter? *cringes dumbfhuckily*", I'll once again have nothing.

 

[pastmyprimus]

If it came down to a choice, I'd prefer to see 40 year old Brendon Lade lead our ruck than Lobbe.

 

[MALTSY]

And a 3 year deal to Jonas who's borderline best 25? Not even Willy Wonka could sugarcoat that one haha.

That is staggering I must admit.

 

[snozulu]

I'm the president of the Tom Jonas fan club and even I don't think he's worth a three year deal.

We will not go forward as a football club until Chris Davies is sacked. Or at least spends 5 minutes reading a 'negotiating for dummies' book.

 

[Magpiespower]

Okay, which one of you wrote this on the club's Facebook page under the "Power positioned well" post? Fess up now, lol...

Hopefully there's some method to this madness..

I'm honestly lost for words with some of the decisions we have made in the last 2 years.

If we finish bottom 6 this year ( highly likely) and no first rounder, membership will be halved in 2018.

I'm sick of this boys club shit. ****off.

As for Cripps comparing our long term contracts to other clubs, ****off mate, we are Port Adelaide we should be ruthless, learn from your mistakes.. ?Hawthorn wouldnt resign a spud like Jonas for 3 more years or Neade ( a small forward) with nothing in his kit other than tackling for 2 more. As much as people call this a team game the majority of players playing elite football play for themselves and when they're settled on big coin and guarantees you're not going to get the best out of them.. ah well.

Those players you mentioned are the types I would expect Jonas to do well on.

 

[AwesomeOllie]

Did we really use the points as a reason to do this trade?

This club isnt even trying to hide their shitness anymore.

We just gave up a top 10 pick for a couple of ******* 2nd rounders. Cause, you know...... we draft so ******* well.

No personal attack here, just these posts in general are annoying the **** out of me.

We may finish out of the 8 next year and pick 10 or higher will be true, I'd rather like to think we can make the 8.

IF we can't, one first rounder next year is not going to ******** fix us!! Our good players will be another damn year older. We have R Gray now, a superstar, he doesn't make us super, nor will pick 10 next ******** year. + we won't have the 19 and 30 guys from this year!

Of course there is potential downside, but try to think positively some of you lot!!

We exist to not get pick ******* 10 next year!!

 

[Wargreymon90]

The twisted side of me kinda hopes we draft a ruckman with pick 9
