Opinion 2018 Non-Crows Discussion Thread

I don't think it's a State Governments responsibility to keep sporting team afloat ......is that how you want you your tax dollars spent ?

There's a Tourism impact for the Gov in sponsoring Hawthorn primarily, much the same as the Australian Grand Prix ......but that's different to propping up a local team for local supporters & only one group of opposition team supporters

Jay Weatherill disagrees

Finally, got another story out of Port yesterday from the horse's mouth

Yet another Port player getting confused between his wife and his ex-girlfriend

He tried to pull a Trump but the ex said, No, No, No.

WTF is it with that club?

At some point in the 1,000,000 history of the Port Adelaide Football Club, they were called the magentas, or something. Magenta is Pantone 264.

It's 264 days until Ollie's contract runs out.

Why won't Ollie sign?

#signollie

There are only two reasons why Sloaney's contract status is news, while Ollie Wines' contract isn't:

a) The SA footy media favours Port
b) Port news isn't actually news
c) Port's "star" isn't actually a star

Pick one PAPs. Which one is it? I'm going for d) All of the above.

This makes me think of the Amy Winehouse song for some reason.
I cant think of any Amy's in the team though.

So you're saying the word defamation is a clue ...

Nothing to do with anyone named Amy.

No clues, it'd be too easy to work out.

Hmm. That's a bit rough to make allegations against one of our 6 married players.

Happens alot in life, and in footy clubs..... pretty much every one of them.

They're big fans down at Alberton

Unrelated, but looks a bit like Charlie

All to the same person?

Goldstein has been one of the AFL’s most durable players, managing at least 19 games in each of the past eight seasons. That’s what he has always done, through injury and patchy form, just plough on.

But rumours began to circulate on social media about Goldstein’s family situation and even a potential trade from the Kangaroos.

Some opponents even taunted the 190-gamer on the field about personal matters.

Once incident against Port Adelaide in Round 16, 2016, in particular stung him.

“Yeah it did. It surprised me,” he said.

“Personally I didn’t think you could go there but they did and I think it was more that they didn’t give me the chance to get off the leash.

“Every time I thought I was free I had someone else come at me, so I think that was why I struggled in that game.”

Once again the name Port Adelaide just magically surfaces when these types of issues are brought up.

I am sure that they will be stupidly trying to deflect things once again, but it's hard to ignore the constant stream of these types of incidents that usually have Port Adelaide's name attached to them.

According to Rucci on saturday sport show, he is committed to Port, he just wants more money

So he is happy to stay there and be well paid. Even if being paid well means they have to pad out their list with cheap Demons discards.

Wonder if that hypocrite Lucy Cornes has any thoughts on this?

A bit like Lever was committed to the Crows then

 

[jenny61_99]

Code Hopper. my bet. Union or league.

Played Union at Marist, not sure he'd go back though.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

There was something off about the whole Cameron situation.

 

[Doc_]

we still have a few months to go before we are worried .. (remember Renault was announced in march ) ...

but of interest .. when Kochie was on 5aa just over a week ago, he mentioned 3 weeks for something to happen .. which equals to the Chinese new year ... so I will see what happens in a couple of weeks time

Done & dusted.

True.

I've checked, and he's not married currently.

Will amend original post.

Good detective work.

Given the AFL Financial Year starts 1 November that is four months lost revenue.

KT has publicly said they are wanting another major sponsor, so it is safe to assume Oak are getting the double branding on the jumper they are selling now and wearing in AFLX and JLT at a discount.

dean is a far bigger douchebag than Charlie though

Well he’s a man so he’s screwed right off the bat. Abusive mother? That’s ok, alcoholic mother? That’s ok. Drug taking mother? That’s ok. Man with even a hint of an issue? Bad luck.

Bloke doesn’t even need to have an issue,
Judges err on the side of caution because of the political atmosphere ATM, if any accusations is cast. Then old mate has to prove otherwise.
This told to me directly by a solicitor.
It’s used as a weapon to gain better financial carve up arrangements.
