They pretty much confirmed that Friday night would be Hawks v Pies last week so I'd say next week they'll announce it.

We're a dead set lock to be Sat twilight I'd suggest. Get an 8 v 6 day break on Freo. It would have been interesting had Fremantle played on the Sat against Brisbane in Rd 22 if we'd have got the Friday night game over in Perth.

Another quote from Trigg;
Link


When he made that statement the Cows were (and still are) in tenth spot on the ladder, so more in the queue at the door of the eight rather than knocking on it. His comment also highlights how the corporation has a culture of mediocrity where almost making the finals is seen as being in good shape.
Just like they were only a kick away from a grand final a couple of years ago. It's the Glenelg mentality :)

According to Ferrethead Mark Ricciuto is the new 'kingmaker' of South Australian football and will take over Chapman's position in a couple of years because Chapman isn't part of the selection process.

Maybe, just maybe, Michelangelo, the AFC board knows that if Chapman was involved there would be question marks over whoever was selected, whereas with Roo involved it automatically gives any chosen candidate tacit support through the fan base?

I doubt the AFC gives a rats toss bag about the support of their customers in regards to their selection of a chairman.

I hope time doesn't heal all wounds in this instance. Trigg should always be remembered by Port Adelaide people for the shit human he is.
Trigg is about the only thing that could unite Port and Crows supporters, we all think he is a shit human being.
