Lock up the Port players on the eve of the showdowns (this is a joke)

Your question is like 'how do I get a cheap ticket to a Taylor Swift concert'. You don't.
There might've been a 80 dollar allocation for ten minutes when the tickets opened, but this is the highest demand cricket fixture in the schedule so the prices are jacked up to the max.
You can still get $110 tickets in the Eastern Stand nosebleeds on Saturday.

I wasn't aware I had said different but if you say so OK.
Insolvent firm run by ex-AFL star wipes millions in debt via 'legal phoenixing'
A digital marketing agency run by a former AFL star has wiped its millions in debt through an insolvency process, only to open under a new ABN days later. Former staff were left without a job and almost $450,000 in unpaid entitlements, but it's within the bounds of the law and leaves taxpayers...

Excellent article in the Hun on Jordan Butts, great read if you have a Newscorp subscription or a way to get around the paywall because it's a lengthy read. He really is the ultimate teamman.
Jordon Butts is trying to listen to what his line coach, Jack Hombsch, is saying but he is struggling.
Struggling to focus.
Struggling to stand up straight.
Short of breath.
The Crows key defender tries to jog off and cannot break a stride, so he knows something is not right inside of him.
Before long Butts’ Mum, Laurel, is alongside her son in the Marvel Stadium change rooms.
She then joins him in an ambulance as he leaves Adelaide’s match – against the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium on July 12 – headed for hospital with what turns out to be a collapsed lung.
The lung issue ended Butts’ run of consecutive 10 games at the top level and was his second serious injury of the campaign.
He described the first – a Lisfranc foot problem that occurred against Essendon in July 2024 and required two surgeries – as the toughest he had ever faced.
It stopped him from running for a while, setting him back for pre-season.
“I had a slow start, but found my feet when the season started and started playing good footy, got in the side and thought I was playing my role reasonably well,” he says.
Butts came into the team in early May when Murray was sidelined with an injury to his reconstructed left knee.
He played in eight wins and two losses before his lung ailment against the Bulldogs opened the door for Murray to replace him against Gold Coast the next match.
Butts’s comeback – four weeks after he was hospitalised – was in the SANFL.
He played five state-league matches to end the campaign as Adelaide was knocked out in semi-finals in both the AFL and SANFL. When speculation linked Butts to several Victorian clubs during the trade period, the opportunity for him to become an AFL regular made sense on the surface.
Any interest from rival clubs “didn’t really take off at all”, largely because Adelaide was keen to keep him.
“When you’re not getting picked, that’s what’s in your head ‘maybe they don’t want to play me anymore’,” Butts says.
“It was tough not getting selected but the club told me how much they valued me, how I play and what I do for the squad.
“It was a little sigh of relief that they still want me here.
“I’m contracted here (for 2026) and am very happy with how the club’s going.
“I was more than happy to stay.”
Interest from other teams would flatter other players.
Not the understated Butts.
“I’m just trying to play my best football for the team and my teammates,” he says.
Butts has let his footy do most of the talking for him since Adelaide rookie-listed him at the end of 2018.
This story is one of the only features on him in seven seasons in the Crows’ squad.
The son of a teacher and occupational health and safety manager from Shepparton in country Victoria has only done a few press conferences during that time too.
“I guess I just go about my business,” he says.
“That’s how I like to do it.
“I put the head down and just focus on what really matters, and that’s getting better as a footy player and doing my best to help the team.”
Crows defender Jordon Butts reveals harrowing details of mid-match collapsed lung

Had a mate that ‘kind of’ did this. Had no creditors and staff were all fully compensated, including super and leave was all transferred over to the phoenix. Owed the ATO about a million though. I think the liquidators recovered enough to retire about 80% of that debt.
He would have continued trading but was going through a divorce with an insane narcissist who refused to settle, even for overly generous amounts (that he didn’t have). So as a last resort the business was liquidated so the value was no longer in dispute.
