Why the hell do Sydney have the option to draft Blakey as a zone selection when he can also be drafted by Brisbane of North as a father son. The leg up this club gets is appalling. The fact that haven't missed a final series in 13 years has nothing to do with any amazing abilities of the club it's because of the huge advantages they have been gifted by the AFL.

Sniper Thomas, ground invader, Chris Scott incident with the crowd, booing Selwood when he received the ANZAC medal, crowd brawl at AO, Powell-Pepperspray allegedly found guilty, the booing of a player who has just been picked off by a sniper, disgusting tweets at Neroli Meadows. Then you get ones on here wishing death, aids upon players, laughing at their livelihoods being taken away at Ford etc etc.
Ah I can't even remember what else but there's bound to be something. ;):$

Another classy Poort Power weekend.
So a typical, nothing out of the ordinary weekend for Port

It's a disgrace the player gets to choose which club he wants to be at. Should be the club with the highest pick in the event of multiple eligibility

Probably because he's spent more than half his life [since 2006] in Sydney and as such he's been a member of Sydney's youth Academy for years.

Given his father/son eligibility he should never have been in the academy in the first place. Surely they we have to draw the line at some stage.

Port have managed to make this weekend even better

Crows win against the odds - tick
Carlton loss - tick
Port loss when they were expected to win - tick
Port fan incident - tick
Melbourne loss - pending

One more piece of the puzzle to go...

This shit from Port has gone beyond a joke now. The club really needs to do something now about their horrendous culture. Doesn't help when they draft dogs like Thomas and Dixon and drug cheats.
All trolling aside , this is happening with monotonous regularity.
The whole mood of that crowd last night watching the replay had an undercurrent of nastiness.

Sounded like a fair contingent
of Cats fans which explains the good crowd number.

It wasn’t a bar it was an open public area
They don't care. No one gets a pass at a Port game. A few years ago my son played auskick during a showdown (Port home game). My wife, wearing a Crows scarf, went down to the boundary in the area where the banana thrower sits to take some photos. She was told to f*** off and get back to her seat by numerous people including middle ages people and women. They are animals.

Loads of Geelong fans in Adelaide, would have been a game quite a few of them would have come over for also.

Their ceiling is 45k these days. Still pretty good but has definitely dropped off over the years.

Before looking at the train wreck that is the Port Power Football Club, let's just remember that this was the club that brought us: "You get what you deserve."
  • SPP is drunk on the streets missing an alleged curfew and involved in an alleged sexual assault: that's the woman's fault, along with some obscure journalist from Channel 7.
  • A player's friends allegedly racially abuse the opposition: that's no-one's fault.
  • Their own supporters don't turn up and they get pisspoor crowds: that's the SMA and SANFL's fault, or the weather's fault.
  • They cannot attract a major sponsor: that's the media's fault, and also the Crows' fault.
  • Their opposition wears the national colours of China: that's the AFL's fault.
  • One of their match attendees harrasses Alastair Clarkson: that's Geelong's fault.
  • Their ruckman gets involved with police: that's the police's fault.
  • Their China Strategy makes small pocket change and not millions: that's the AFL's fault.
  • They don't have an AFLW team: that's Adelaide's fault.
  • Their racist supporters throw fruit at indigenous players: that's the indigenous player's fault.
You get what you deserve, hey?
