The word is out about Chinguard, just got a massive wrap on Swan The Couch. I wonder if there will be a news segment/article about how one of our players was mentioned by the Victorian media.

EFA.

Also, [USER]The_Wookie[/USER] would you happen to have a clip of it?

I remember when Tredda's retired, i was watching the footy show and i can't remember any thing being mentioned about him.

I find that hard to believe...

We are Port Adelaide from SA, the Vic's would not be able to find it on the map, let's hope the Pie's cant't.

Gospel. Not a single mention. It was an absolute disgrace.

That's pathetic. I've never been a big watcher of TFS, and rarely posted on here when I first joined so I missed all of that!

Buckley would know all about the Port Adelaide tradition. Make no mistake. I think we are better than them. We OWE.

While the Good Samaritan in me hopes that Richmond actually makes finals this year as opposed to falling into a screaming heap yet again, there is some sick and twisted pleasure in seeing how they manage to **** it up from such a strong position as they are now.

Let's hope Ken has a master plan on how to dismantle them

Good news guys, just did a ladder predictor and had us finishing 8th but we then go on to beat Sydney, Essendon, Fremantle and Geelong in the grand final to win the premiership. So it looks like we're flag certainties!

But seriously, Carlton in round 23 could be a massive game.

Hope Sydney takes them out this week.

Had us losing to Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn, Geelong and Fremantle and beating Adelaide, St Kilda, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Carlton.

Few there in the teams I had us beating that could go either way though. Hopefully we can snag a win this weekend though, would hold us in pretty good stead.

Massive wrap. Healy said the AA selectors met this week and Chad's name would have to be in the certainties list if the team was picked now. I'd get nervous about a 19 year old getting massive wraps like this but I don't think we need to worry about it going to his head. Also talked about being high on the goal involvement list with Ablett and Watson.

Hope you are on the money

Bulldogs.

They r*ped us.

But yes I suppose it was "close". I don't count it though

If we play the way Ken wants us to play, and defrag the last five years, we are a shoe in for hard finals. But i think its going to take time. i dont know, but i think Kenny is building our defense. Our backline, our tackling. We will be imprenetrable soon. I havent felt so good about this team since the early 2000 onwards. There are no superstars in our team. As long as they play football the true way, who needs superstars.

I think you are right on. Ken always talks of a defensive team and that is what he is trying to establish back their, Trengove is the missing piece to the puzzle.

BE FU**ED WEVE GOT NOTHING TO PLAY FOR.

Gets the hairs on my neck standing up. I wish i had a coach like that when i was a junior. That would motivate me for the rest of my life.

Now I would never wish injury on a player but big mouth Troy really put the mozza on himself with this one:

what is the go with the watson interview on 'on the couch'?

what is the go with the watson interview on 'on the couch'?

Reading it as Watson being honest ...seems to the players have placed their faith in Dank and the Club knowing what they were doing ...they are screwed...doesn't read as him having any idea of the outcome or penalties.
