he can handball to dusty running around the back. but seriously we need someone badly. griff has concussion problems will probably never play again. elton is a spud. we have 2 first rounders but they wont be good enough for elite key forwards in the draft. so only hope is casboult on 500k instead of reid on 800k. or if you blokes would spare one of yours
Yeah you trade for one of ours (otten) and dusty can come FA ;)

and their numbers continue to decrease........

To stop their average attendance figures dropping from last year they need attract at an average of 38,278 to each of their last four games. They have North, Collingwood, St Kilda and Gold Coast to come, there is no chance of that happening.

Give it another 4-5 years and Port will be looking at averages in the low 30k's

Big Victorian club, prime time, perfect weather.

They're an embarrassment. Give the licence to someone who'll use it
We bleat about our crowd numbers because that's about all we can hang our hat on. Little do the beaters realise it's the main thing that's holding back the much needed culture change that this club so desperately needs.

He's got a mate down the road whose also pretty pointless at the moment.

You mean the guy who is top 10 for goal kicking, top 2 for goal assists in the league right?

Tex's goal in the 3rd yesterday gave the team a huge lift. Outside 50, he went BANG when we needed it. So at least he contributes something during a game, unlike Boak who is doing a great Mackay impression right now

BS. Tex has been quiet in recent weeks, but at least he stands up at certain points in a game. That goal from outside 50 was the definition of a captain's goal. Boak has done SFA and every Crows fan who compares Tex's output to Boak's and puts it on par should hang their heads in shame

Tex is either injured or the shadow of the player we thought he would be.

I've been making injured excuses for Tex for years.

I've finally accepted he's a shadow of the player he looked like he was going to become before his ACL.

He's got a genius football brain most of the time but it's clear he's trying to make up for his body just not being able to do things. He simply won't ever get off the ground for any reason.

A forward who can't jump is nearly as bad as a ruckman who can't jump.
