Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 13

lol no one will watch SANFL.

Alternatively they will watch it and be like "how quaint" and turn it off.

I literally hear more noise from Goodwood Oval from my house that I do watching Sturt V Woodville...

 

[RossFC]

having magpies play Collingwood / west coast / Essendon etc reserves every second weekend would be great for attendances at Alberton and our bottom line. Surely that’s max crowds every game. Could even upgrade and get more people in. More punters would go to a port v hawks reserve game than port v west Adelaide for sure.

My dad went for Sturt/Carlton before I converted him to Port Adelaide at both AFL/SANFL level, but he still obviously has a soft spot for the 2 former clubs.

I reckon it would be a great experience watching Port Adelaide vs Carlton at Adelaide Oval, then Port Adelaide reserves vs Carlton reserves at Alberton the next day.

Or possibly having a weekend family trip to Victoria to watch Carlton vs Port Adelaide at the MCG or Marvel, and then Carlton reserves vs Port Adelaide reserves at Ikon Park the next day.

The AFL really needs to move its head office and vision to Adelaide. Victoria is a shambles.

 

[JimmyBC]

AFL reserves games at Alberton would be cool

 

[OneGreatClub]

Thanks Freo

Unpopular opinion, but not as unreasonable as it sounds.

They certainly need to pull back the player payments.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Except for Crows players...

 

[OneGreatClub]

The behaviour of them pesky Crows have now given our SA Health Dept the jitters.
Thanks fellas.

 

[LFC2010]

Except for Crows players...

Hypocrite

 

[blaargh]

Honestly, the Crows have again ****ed the whole state/country. Why couldn't they just follow simple guidelines, like the rest of society.

What a joke to come out with this when they let the crows off with basically no punishment is embarrassing.

 

[Harro59]

This outcome was always on the cards. Basically SA Heath have said football teams are simply too stupid to follow simple rules.

Also the Vic teams coming over would likely be the start of the next wave.

pariah club

 

[DaTBird187]

Bravo Adelaide you ****ing pillocks.

 

[Steve Dore]

lol, Camry Crows given exemption by SAPOL from strict self-isolation requirements for players returning to SA

nek minnit

"CROWS and Port players will not be granted special COVID-19 quarantine exemptions, a shock decision that threatens to delay an announcement date for the start of the AFL season.

The ruling came in a letter from SA chief public health officer Professor Nicola Spurrier and Commissioner of SA Police Grant Stevens to the AFL last night."

The young Matt Rendell.

That day when all identity lost, we serve
As curios for children roaming beaches,
Makeshift monocles through which they view
The same green transitory world we also knew

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Surely for the crows that should read "hub".

If we go to Queensland that will give a few club champions a chance to see Port Adelaide up close, even Peter Yeo.

 

[Alberton Proud]

VIC media should go hard at the Crows for farking this up and rightly so

Certainly implies that SA Health and SAPOL were not at all happy with their Barossa antics despite all the dismissals from Crowmedia

 

[FPPF]

It's a cover-up. 100% you're clearly blind to it.

Lol yeh cover up, thats why the whole world knows about it.
Dumb ass.

 

[FPPF]

Why Queensland?

 

[PAFC66]

Lol yeh cover up, thats why the whole world knows about it.
Dumb ass.

What?

Nobody saw any written exemption from SAPOL or SA health that SA media kept dribbling, nobody saw any approval from the AFL prior to the crows going there. Stories were changed 10 times. The competition can't be trusted it's as simple as that and SA health are making a stand.

 

[PAFC66]

Why Queensland?

No hard border, better than Victoria with no advantage?

 

[Cuzz09]

Id prefer West Coast went to Alice Springs.

Port prob do too

What a joke to come out with this when they let the crows off with basically no punishment is embarrassing.

Meanwhile in a masterclass of 'dog whistling' it's made public that SAPOL are door knocking Port players because...............?

Well they're under a blowtorch and in the Limelight for all the wrong reasons so why not drag Port into the dock in the court of public opinion and PR management.

In further news for the neighbours their Parklands' plans have hit a speed bump. LGA election results for a City of Adelaide ward by-election has seen a former staffer to

Christopher Pyne one Nathan Paine of Capetal Advisory lose with just 16%. Both Pyne and Paine are recorded on the South Australian Lobbyist Register

as employed by a number of developers.

Pyne wrote an opinion piece in the Advertiser on May 4th that advocated Nth Adelaide be booted out of the Adelaide City Council and be absorbed by the

City of Prospect or the Town of Walkerville....... reasons? Well those pesky residents and their rep, councillor Anne Moran want to keep the Parklands as parklands

and not a new home/headquarters of the AFC (Adelaide Football Club/Corporation?). Pyne goes on in the article to lament the struggling businesses in O'Connell St

and how this particular area needs a boost. His article is headed "Cut North Adelaide loose so city thrives". Pyne doesn't mention he's engaged to the AFC in the article

He merely advocates upping economic growth and activity thru' redevelopment and construction.

Well the Poodle's former underling didn't get up in the weekends by-election but their fight goes on.

A fight carried out and carried on under the camouflage of non-disclosure.

All in the name of the greater good that curiously aligns to their self interests and that of our neighbours.
