"If there’s been one underperforming club in the past decade that has become carried away by its own importance, it’s Port Adelaide. The Power have not played in a grand final since 2007, yet no club has talked the talk and delivered so little in recent times. And nothing gets up people’s noses more — Port. Snort."

Can't see him getting far... but have no issue stirring up the AFL on their handling of the matter.

Ironical thing is the AFL tried their best to protect Essendon in the own deceptive way... but fortunately was taken out of their hands when they failed to be tough enough on Essendon.

I remember being stunned the AFL didn't hand down the minimum 6 month slap on the wrist that could be conveniently back-dated... but I was pretty happy because from that moment I knew WADA was coming.

LOL. I just happen to mention Port's unwarranted self importance, in another thread. Seems I'm not the only one thinks this way.

Port Adelaide won't be happy with that article. At. All

Daniel Talia wouldn't be enjoying watching Jonathan Patton in this preseason game.

Gold.
And sums them up since they started telling everyone how much better and smarter they are than the rest of the league.

Hawthorn, Geelong or Sydney dont talk themselves up as much as Talk Power do.

That's what happens when you give them the most ridiculous draft and salary concessions in history

Yep and Trigg was on the AFL committee to make the concession recommendations

By ignoring the real problem and refusing to investigate the cause of the drug taking how do they know this will not happen again?
It was a case of some very powerful club people holding sway over some very young and inexperienced players who (except for a few) had little choice but to follow the group think. It clearly was a case of club culture out of control.
This has not been acknowledged or addressed by the AFL.

I still want to know what advice the AFLPA gave to these young players.

More like ignoble, I'd say.

Kochie on AA says he has threatened the Suns, if you want this to be a one-off thing, go ahead and wear your home jumper, if you want to be a partner and work with us and make it an annual thing you will wear your away jumper.

Thought they didn't care?

And this comes soon after Keith Thomas tried to downplay the significance of Gold Coast playing in China's colours. I feel a little sorry for KT, it must be tough trying to work alongside a loose cannon with a big mouth, who's in the role to sell his own image as much as his club's.

It's not just the GC colours situation either, but also the comments like "top four list". Someone needs to handle the disappointment when it comes.

Talia will get Cameron IMO

Dwayne tried to list about 6-8 players who were 'missing' from their best team and including Cockatoo in there. Also when they were talking about Geelong and their chances they said that they had Danger and Selwood so of course their window was always open. Pity their defence is looking not good and there is no system up forward. I had to scoff when the comment was made that there isn't a better 'goer' in the midfield than Selwood.

In fairness to Dwayne, Danger IS half of the Geelong team.

What nonsense! Kochies over promise under deliver strategy is cutting edge.

Josh Kelly sounds pretty similar to Daniel Talia

Hahahahaha Tim Taranto said on Fox Footy he "shit himself" in his first game for GWS
