Bad news for us. Haysman would've been a great ally in the fight against our common off-field enemies at the SANFL and SMA. It's funny to laugh at the Crows getting slops again, but this is one occasion where I wish that they'd gotten their man.
This. Although Haysman would have turned the Crows into a bigger club, his negotiating with KT and Kochie in taking down the common enemy the SNAFL would have significantly benefited us financially. Oh well. Hopefully Slops Fagan being an outsider really takes the fight up to the SANFL, but I won't hold my breath.

I've tossed that up in my head dozens of times and still come back to the fact that I'd rather see Haysman remain a Port man regardless.

you do realise trigg is still doing the AO negotiations for adelaide was part of the deal
yeah while at carlton. conflict of interest much ??? unbelievable. would laugh but in this case their/his spinelessness impacts us.

how often does one AFL club boss get the chance, by their own personal action (or inaction), to negatively impact the finances of two competitors and to lock in that impact for *years* ?

on the other hand it is twiggy... he might even be crap at being crap.

He WAS a crows man. Very much a Port man now. Have spoken to him numerous times.
All it takes is an open mind and a grand tour of Alberton for your perspectives of Port Adelaide to change forever.

Has good credentials. I know its early, but he sounds enthusiastic and keen.


As for Haysman knocking back the role, I also got offered it!!
Why are you here?

Have you come here to finally admit that Kern is a better coach than Slops :)

Did anyone watch Ch 7 news tonight? I heard a promo around 5-30 in the car that they had some big news on Port and Collingwood doing a deal to play each other twice for the next few years - once at AO and once at MCG.

Kochie doing deals with Eddie and ch 7 for prime time TV coverage - cut out the crows v collingwood at AO??

Just the Premier saying there should be an annual themed clash at AO or MCG
