All things going on in the world taken into consideration is it an over reaction? sure, but it's fun, and no doubt, if it was the other way around it would be coming at us twice as much.

Nice to see Port's fall continue though, a few years ago nothing could go wrong, they were above it all, Koch was commenting on other clubs troubles on Sunrise, how tough they would be if things happened at their club, we kept hearing that nobody would let Kenny Hinkley down because he's got so much respect blah blah blah...

Then time after time they have the chance to make a statement on things happening at their club and they go into damage control.

Homophobic Marquee guy - we thank the AFL but he doesn't need their offer of counselling, we've handled it internally, don't think it will happen again. No punishment.

"but he's a Geelong supporter" - could have made a statement here, didn't want to know about it.

Banana incident - went from not welcome at our club to self-promotion, our club is so great at handling these things we think we can turn her around if she spends some time with our indigenous players, the best program in the AFL - heard nothing since.

Zero tolerance for drugs - actively recruits players who don't have the same values.

Conveniently gave Krakouer a punishment that went for the duration of his injury.

Impey - likely involved in the coverup well before he "did the right thing and cooperated"

I am sure I am missing some.

All clubs have stuff like this happen, but Port were so above it all a few years ago, and their club and their supporters made sure we knew about it.

Am I seeing things or did Janus really just post a quote from a book about meditating?
well its not really "about" meditating...

in a different context its a good thought but you'd have to be a little unhinged to think it applies here - as if Impey can't be expected to already know or understand, or as if its not intuitive why getting behind the wheel when you're pissed as **** is always and objectively a bad idea.

What about Johncock???!!!

Port player.

What about Thompson???!!!

Another Port player.

It's funny when they forget their own One Club narrative.
They're only one club when it suits them. Mainly when it involves discussing premierships. Breaching the salary cap? Nah that was the Port Magpies. Thompson? Nah he's a crow. Johncock? Nah he's a crow. Port Magpies premierships? OURS!! ONE CLUB! EST 1870!!

Am I the only one who has NFI who Aidyn Johnson is?
He was either drafted with one of their late picks or a rookie pick. Lad who comes from Vic near Echuca I think. Has had serious hamstring problems for the last 2 years. He has a lot of talent but the hamstrings have hurt him both draft and game wise.

"Is it not a heartless thing to prevent others from doing what they think is in their own best interest? Yet you do precisely that when you become upset with them for their wrongdoing. After all, what you forbid as wrong, they believe to be in their interest and to their advantage. "But they are mistaken!" Fine. Then teach them where their true interests lie, but don't fume and fuss and fret." - Book Six of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius

Is that to make it look like you know what you're talking about ?


Didn't work

I am guessing he didn't flee the scene then?

Just seen Impey's punishment. wowzers that is light. I am guessing that shows Krakour just where he ranks in the scheme of things. Golden Tickets anyone? Selling Golden Tickets?

Krakour's ban lined up perfectly with his injury time frame. Essentially equalled 0 weeks missed !!

Clearly he wasn't speeding then lol
Shows he has reaction speed and awareness behind the wheel equal to that which he displays onfield.

Id be checking to see if their where any ram-raids in the vicinity that evening.
Was quite the trend for young Port fork to come East and plow Cars through shopfronts back in the day.

No, Kid is seriously talented, saw him play a game in the TAC over at Bendigo a couple of year's ago, very light bodied then but boy o boy is he ever seriously quick...was always going to take time as he'd been very injury prone but can play.
