I think we do have a full list, but even if we don't I cannot see him elevated during the year unless we have some major injury problems.
However if he has another good year, he could be a chance at the end of the year.

Hey I will even throw in a set of steak knives just to throw at the board!

;)
And while we're on the subject of great marketing ideas, how about the Shane Breuer Ashtray For A Motorbike? Both really useful items.

Shane Breuer???

If you are going to have a go at a player at least get the spelling right, its not as if its hard name like Paul Koulouriotis.

Its Shayne!

Im sorry if it seems that I am continually having a go at you but for a Port Supporter since 1973 you do seem to stuff up a lot.

Yeah there are some people who seem to hound people cos they follow players and take an interest in players on OUR team. Now I am really confused as I thought that we all were going to follow two players this year, one that we got in the draft and one that we pick ourselves in the 2nd buddy draft. Are we going to be hounded because we defend our players all year?

The other question to that I am now game to ask as Koula has been delisted, is I wonder how he felt knowing that there were some who who did not rate him worthy of being in OUR team. The players or their family must read these boards.

We must encourage our players because they would not be on the list if somebody at the club did not think they were good enough.

I will not take abuse from people face to face so I see no reason why I should take it here.

Can we try and forget about Koula? He has gone for fs, people get over it. Im sure he does not give too hoots if people rated him or not (supporters), but if the coaching panel did not rate him then Im sure he would care.
Now he has left, if people want to boo him or bag him like we will Nick Stevens go for it, but somehow I dont think it will happen.

Feeling guilty?

You also missed my point. I WANT TO KNOW THAT I CAN DEFEND MY PLAYERS WITHOUT BEING HOUNDED AND ABUSED BY OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD.

And will I forget about Koula well no I am scared that this is one player who could turn out to be OK if given a fair go. Also a friend is a Cats supporter so I can get a ride to the games at Geelong, free bed and board for a bit of driving. That is if I want to go.

Why would anyone want to hound you for sticking up for a current POWER player?

And why would I feel guilty?

I dunno, but you certainly gave me enough **** when Paul was a "current POWER player", as did other members of the board. I think what footballphantom is getting at is whether you're going to be consistent.

Maybe but he does write a lot more cr@p than the average poster on this board. The great thing about our board is that we are all very passionate and informative.

Fullarton Power is no doubt passionate but lacks knowledge. I only ask that he check the facts before posting, Im not the only one.........

If you believed one of his earlier posts you would have thought Chris Hall and the much publicised Adam Kingsley were no longer on our list.

Its a bit like Chinese Whispers, one person gets the story wrong and before you know it its gospel.

I think Adam Kingsley and Paul Koulouriotis have received a fair bit of special treatment over the time.

Adam Kingsley by a fair few of us due to his high turn over rate. Im not saying this is all Adam's fault because he has been played out of position but at the end of the day you can only judge on the performance given.

Paul Koulouriotis is a little different, its normally an argument generated between Koulagirl (mostly) and the rest of the board as to his worth. He played 3 games over 4 seasons for us and with the amount of talk about him on our board one would think he was captain of the club. I think Koulagirl is a little more light hearted about it all now and doesn't hold too many grudges. Good luck to Paul and Koulagirl at their new club, but Koulagirl where does your heart lye after Paul?

I think I have gone over this and over this before but you really only have one player to follow. Buddy Player 1 for which you were assigned is the player you follow. This draft we are currently going through is nothing more than a bit of fun, keep a close eye on that player if you like but you only really play a secondary role with that player.

You won't be hounded in regards to your buddy player as we know the reason why you would be praising or probably in Macca's case with Kingsley bagging the hell out of him. Its all in fun!

As for the last past of your post I really doubt that any of the players family or close friends would take much notice of what we write and those who do and take it seriously must have rocks in their head!

Paralowiepower put it perfectly before, its the coaching staff that they should be trying to impress.

If it was up to us mere posters on how the side looked there would be no Adam Kingsley and Fullarton Power would put Warren Tredrea on the bench! :D

I wouldn't defend him if he wasn't worth it. As far as I'm concerned, the Power have never benefited from his skills and will come to rue the decision to let him go.

As for my loyalties now the Power have gotten rid of him, I think they're clear enough. I always said I'd switch teams if he went, he's gone, and I've switched teams. There's nothing keeping me at the Power although I still take an interest as I take an interest in the Crows for the Westies players.
