Haven't looked at the Lions one yet, but do you know what the first one is? How about posting the bits from the article that said something like "Collingwood's wretched injury run in recent weeks has translated ..."

EDIT: Just read the second link if yours that said the Lions were equal third youngest with Port Adelaide. Are you debating yourself now? :D
More than one of yourself in a debate... Must be a mass debate.

That table is the average age of the sides that took the field in round 22 last week - not the list as a whole.

From the same article
"The Power side that pummelled Carlton by 103 points at Adelaide Oval on Friday night had an average age of 24.7 years, making it the fifth youngest team in the AFL at the weekend."

Was that a mistake or were you deliberately trying to bend the truth ?

Agreed. What else does it say? A group of big entities can usually crush a minnow. Not nice I agree, but if contract talks start becoming a focus then this is an option.
That shows a decided misunderstanding of how the administration of football in Australia relies on goodwill, whether genuine or not.

It also shows a selfish attitude towards hundreds of football teams you'd be happy to see crushed for the good of Port Adelaide getting more money.

Morality and some Port supporters seem opposites.

Ah wonderful you've provided two lists that don't match - one which we have shown is not what it seems.

So in answer to the question did you know you were bending the truth with the first one ?

Do you think john Olsen knew he was bending the truth when he recently suggested the 10 million they paid back to afl was all used to support port ?

.
Hundreds of teams crushed - over exaggerating much ?

I've personally seen four clubs disappear in the past five years and port wasn't at fault in any. The reasons had nothing to do with money - one was my own. Trying to tie this to port is very unfair and untrue.

In fact in at least one I partially blame sanfl and afl regulations for its demise.

Honest mistake, it's the first result that comes up when you search google.

He said the money they borrowed was to help cover the $16.25 they needed to give to port, You got any proof it wasn't?

Accept your answer re ages - to be honest it's a funny stat and you will find multiple calculations that all differ the point though is multiple calculations show port third youngest so Koch wasn't lying per se.


Check earlier in this thread. It's all there.

Otherwise .... http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/grants-increase-port-rescue-deal-to-14m-20110630-1gt27.html is the money the SANFL paid back. The other bailout money was not borrowed from afl.

Red and Black approach: insert contract clauses at the detriment of everyone else. Insert derogatory comment about someone who responds with a counter. Ignore the fact they want the SANFL to succeed.
I think you are struggling my friend.

Your kidding yourself. The SANFL have a financial interest in Port. They own their licence through a contract, which guarentees them rights.
You really need to understand contract law. Just because the AFL has more money doesnt mean they can ignore contract law. Thats what courts are for. The SANFL could and would pay for any legal cost to defend their rights. If it was a simple as you said the AFL would have just taken back the licences but they couldnt and they had to be bought back. Sorry to burst your bubble. And as the SANFL owned Ports arse they would have made them cut costs and reduce spending to bring the loss down to where it wasnt a hit to the SANFL. Infact they should have done so many years ago. The fact that the SANFL allowed PAP to be poorly ran is their own fault.
Dont kid yourself.
This post tells me that you are absolutely familiar with the contract in question and all the sub clauses including those relating to the mis-management of the licenses. You also appear to be confident in the SANFL and their vast reserves in a legal dispute against a minnow like the AFL should push come to shove.
I am confident that your judgement is not being clouded by any hatred for Port and that you would not be shooting from the lip.
Please tell me I'm not kidding myself.
