Lol yet again they prove themselves the rat bag organisation we all think they are.
Well they are ... What South Australian Club over the years has vision of the coach telling a player he has made the side ... Port Adelaide.
Now which Club has followed Port again and done the same thing ... have a guess. :p
Port leads, Crows follow, yet again...:D

Jake Niall from the Age reckons that the AFL is pushing for introducing free agency for life in 2019. However, the AFLPA stipulated when signing the new CBA that it had to be introduced for the 2018 season.

Why is this important? Because free agency for life kicks in after 10 years. And if it's introduced this year, Sloane is a UFA.

So until the AFL and AFLPA sign off on when free agency for life actually starts...Sloane won't be signing anything. Unless he and his manager are stupid as ****.
Not quiet. They talked about 1 of 3 demands having to be introduced. I posted this back on Page 83 of this thread

.......
Other specific key outcomes from the new CBA:
  • Annual contribution of $4 million to the AFL Players’ Association’s Lifetime Health Care and Career Ending Injury fund
  • ...................
  • Players no longer need to be restricted free agents before becoming unrestricted
  • At least one additional free agency provision to be adopted by October 2017, from the following — Free agency for life, free agency portability, restricted free agency at four years for any players under median salary or such other change proposed by AFL and agreed by AFLPA
  • .........

They should have scrapped the song and started again...I love everything about port except this embarrassing, uninspiring song. Try again.
“Power” was always cheesy to me. It is what it is. I remember when we finally got our AFL license in 96 & the anticipation on what name we were going with cause “magpies” was already taken & fealt underwhelmed when “power” was adopted. Bloody idiots !! Had nothing to do with Port Adelaide.
