If Lyon is getting more than a coaches salary for like, a couple hours media work a week, then something is wrong.

Is it true that we have been getting early morning flights for the longer distance games like WCE and Brisbane?

If so, isn't that a bit bloody daft!?

We were forced to for the Brisbane game.

When does Rockliff contract expire?

 

[Doctor Feel]

When does Rockliff contract expire?

This year.

 

[El Zorro]

This year.

It'd be hard to see him get an extension. He might even retire mid-year, depending on how he recovers from his current injury.

 

[Interstater]

Would love to see him get another role at the club.

When Dermie was on a stack of 9 shows back in the day he was asked if he would ever coach. He said his tax bill working as a TV presenter was bigger than a coaching salary.

Watching the Denis Pagan Open Mike the other day, he said when Schimmelbusch was sacked he was the rank outsider to take over and Derm was the red hot favourite. Wild.

Not sure if serious.gif?

He never played for Port.

Bomber was in the twos. He wouldn't have been there for long.

I have a vague memory of him joining us for a season.
I'll dig around.

Haha his name is Neville Roberts.

His actual name was Neville so would be Roberts, N. In 1978 he was playing for Torrens after coming back from Richmond so he would have been on their league list.

Fair enough, but I did just find this little piece of history.

Neville during the ’75 season commuted living in SA, training with West Torrens on a Tuesday, then generally flying over to Melbourne on a Thursday training and then playing on the Saturday while at Teachers College in ’75. During the finals West Torrens’ season had finished so Neville trained with Port Adelaide on the Tuesday. He had a friendship with John Cahill and formed friendships with a number of Port players (thank goodness Neil Balme arrived at the Parade in ’80 – Neville and Neil had been best mates at Richmond and it was mainly through Neil that Neville ended up a Redleg and not a despised Magpie).

Hope the game isn't scheduled for a Friday night then

Why would you schedule Port vs Collingwood on a Friday night when you could have a Carlton vs norf blockbuster instead?

Crows customers don’t want to acknowledge Port Adelaide’s storied history.

I am shocked to be standing here at this time.

Olsen says that like it matters one iota what their membership base think about the issue. Good lord , the arrogance. He's no better than the Victorians he's talking about.
