Remember they were proud of not turning up to games. It was how they sent the club a message. I reckon Rucci even referred to it in an article as one of the Port fans' redeeming features.Brilliantly said - The Primus exit was also another exhibit in white-anting savagery.
I love how this is their mainboard

The irony of them wanting Clarkson.
When he left Port he took a lot of good people with him.
Could argue he started the demise of that club, which started it's AFL existence quite well under John Cahill and Brian Cunningham as CEO.
They seem to hate Choco, who has helped in the Richmond and now Melbourne dynastys and is very much a "Port Adelaide " person. Yet would sell the farm for Clarko who used their club as a stepping stone and gutted it on his way to success at Hawthorn.

It sure is.
And their supporters lap up that those three are still playing.
What has been strange with their trading is not getting younger players around them
Instead they recruit guys like Isaac Smith

Love itI just think it’s funny, Hinkley has been trying for 10 years for no result, Scott won one by taking over a premiership team but has spent the next 9 years not winning one..
Meanwhile Melbourne have been the epitome of a sh** team for years, and Goodwin is no one’s idea of an obvious next big thing as a coach - all of a sudden they’re playing an amazing brand of football and seem to have no weak links, win a flag and are unbackable favourites for another one
Hinkley Scott etc must get together over a Coke Zero and say “Simon Goodwin?? SIMON FECKIN GOODWIN??!!”
Goodie is doing well but I think Paul Roos must be a massive part of the current Melbourne success.
Agree about Scott inheriting a good side. That point is not lost on the cat fans here in Gtown. He'll probably go down in history as failing to provide several premierships when he often had the cattle to do so.

If the arms out is automatically 50 we are going to see even more diving/playing for frees.
Every forward needs to be aware if they can get under their defenders skin they are going to get cheap as goals

I know a lot of people here hate Mark Williams, but don't underestimate the influence he has had with the Richmond and Melbourne dynasties.

Defenders need a subtle expression of their discontent which is not directed to the umpire. Something like turning their back to the umpire or a verbal tirade to themselves but into their hands.
Anyone got any ideas. Could be fun.
Yep. Choco was utterly reviled by the end there and he is as Port as could be.
Oh I’m sure it was ok for Clarkson to do that
They seem to make up different “rules” for different people as they see fit.It's totally ridiculous that they are trying to take all the emotion out of the game. It just cant be done.
The other odd part is it's only ever paid to someone standing the mark

Please don't get me wrong. Danger is a handy forward but too good at other skills to have wasted his career as a forward. I don't want to give him a score out of ten as a forward but I feel that at best, he's the third "tall" in nearly all AFL teams.
By comparison, Jeremy Cameron would be the "gun" forward in most AFL teams.

Gary Rowan is a bigger out for them than most understand. He is a genuine third tall and very fast. When they're all playing, Danger gets a lot of freedom as the fourth.

But they’ll pick him
Dangerfield is much better than just a third tall forward, he has the ability to complete with the 2nd best tall defender in the air and can beat him when the ball hit the ground and is actually much better than Cameron in this area and quicker on the lead. He is very under used as the 3rd tall forward when resting up forward and get lost in the play with both Hawkins and Cameron being the main targets. He can't seem to pay much minutes in the midfield anymore so playing him as a permanent forward along side Hawkins will prolong his career for a few more years and also maximise him as the 2nd tall forward. Now he is in no man land just like Geelong's list.....
