In other words.

Starts at 8:22.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but it's on a Tuesday? Remember when it was a big event on Friday or Saturday night?

 

[Willsy10]

Good to get this shit over and done with early and move on to next season.

I remember 2022 the last time we missed finals and they did it in December, which was ridiculous.

 

[PowerLil]

I'll switch on when the Hinkley w*nkfest is over.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol no time slot for Carr? How about that.

 

[Spadge]

Is it true that members werent allowed to purchase tickets for this? I remember seeing it all over facebook

The error in question

 

[Portwrld]

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but it's on a Tuesday? Remember when it was a big event on Friday or Saturday night?

Yeah, interesting that it's a Tuesday night considering they didn't update the website since Friday, and they only wrote "Port Adelaide B&F" and then left the rest of the page blank.

The night, as we all know, will be a Hinkley w@nkfest, but to not even give Josh 5 minutes of the evening to sell hope to the fanbase is wrong imo, but to be expected from Koch & Co.

 

[VineValerian]

In other words.

Starts at 8:22.

7:57pm - with respects to legendary club man Bustling Bobby Clayton
(also known as "Block Block" at week night training drills).

 

[PearLover5]

Aliir must be a shot. Played on half a toe for a lot of the season, and still held our defence together.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I'm sure Ken will mention him in the context of the great position he has left Josh in. Even by throwing the season and letting him have a full pre-season

 

[Willsy10]

I can't see any circumstance where the top 3 isn't Butters, Georgiades and Rozee. I doubt there will be any surprises, Butters should win but Georgiades will probably come close given the load he had to carry in our forward line all year.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Not even 5 minutes for Carr to set the scene for 2026 lol. This is why we didnt just need Hinkley out. We need the whole ****ing admin out.

 

[Waspy79]

Not even 5 minutes for Carr to set the scene for 2026 lol.

Send email to Richo so he can confirm there was an error.

Some of those were quite hard to do.
Usually there is an obvious winner or two but we had such a bad year.

[PowerBaz]

Not even 5 minutes for Carr to set the scene for 2026 lol. This is why we didnt just need Hinkley out. We need the whole ****ing admin out.

Surely not, or maybe they just don't want to overdo the 'Carr' thing in front of Ken.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I expect Koch to say we didn't make finals so we failed. The whole club failed.

But he wont, and he will then wank on about Ken, Trav, Chad, CD etc. And will positive things about AFLW to fill up space.

And Jarrod Walsh is hosting, he will make it a sickly, cliched driven love fest about the departees.

 

[Ljc_86]

Ughhh Jarrod Walsh? I think I’d rather kanes wife host and that’s saying something!

 

[Doctor Feel]

Ah yes, renowned football man Jarrod Walsh.
