Dunno if we've been doing a lot of this in the past, as far as I'm aware we don't but if we have / are, its good to see as we've given Port way too much free kicks with stuff like this. We need to do things to fight to win appreciation from the younger generations.

Still remember Troy Bond coming to my s**t house primary school in 96 when I was in year 7. Been doing it a while yeah.

With the seven year-olds? Mind you some of those lads look older than Parnell…
Clay Sampson came to our school and got lost was supposed to be at Kangarilla at 10am but ended up in Yankalilla.... Didn't arrive to Kangarilla until 2:30pm had like 5 kicks then left.
Every kid gave Clay something to give to Tony Modra haha

Mitch Hinge says finals are a “bare minimum” for the Adelaide Crows in 2023.
The Crows finished last season in 14th position with eight wins following four years of no finals since their 2017 Grand Final appearance.
There has been incremental growth under Matthew Nicks across three seasons and according to Hinge, the time is now to really step up and play finals footy.
Defender/midfielder Hinge indicated that honourable losses are getting old and believes the youthful Crows have enough quality to make their presence felt this season.
“I would think, to be completely honest, that finals definitely shouldn’t be out of the question,” Hinge said on SEN SA Breakfast when asked about the expectations of the club.
“It should be our bare minimum of what we’re pushing for.

All clubs are going to say they are aiming for finals pre-season... even Hawks & Roos.
Realistically given the inexperience of our list, we are not likely to be challenging for finals until 2024.
However, we should expect to see improvements this year, including beating top 8 teams... but we are likely to see some inconsistency whilst so many of our team are yet to make it to 50 games.
What I liked about his interview wasn't so much him saying they want to make finals but they're getting tired of the "honourable losses" and aren't happy with just pushing good teams.
"Going forward it's not just acceptable to keep pushing teams to the end, it doesn't matter how good they are. We want to be pushing every game and looking to win every game. Last year, especially myself, l finished the year just being unsatisfied to be completely honest. I reckon there were a lot of boys in that boat as well"

I like that mentality. It doesn't matter what the outside noise or online predictions are. Inside the 4 walls this should 100% be the mindset of the coaches and players.
Watching the Chicago Bulls doco "The Last Dance" gave a great example of the power of higher internal expectation. Seeing how 1 player on a bad team with a "We Will Not Lose This Game" frame of mind can completely turn a losing side into a winning side, and change the thinking of older players. Granted that 1 player was a 21 year old Michael Jordan, but it still checks out for me.

And the haircut should put fear in the opposition.
Looking forward to seeing MK playing for Adelaide.
Wonder if he will have enough time to prepare for the trial game. Seems a bit rushed.
Is that Keane??

Maybe, but I think he can handle it. Remember, he rushed home after the end of the 2020 AFL season to kick the winning goal in the Cork vs Kerry final.

Irish lads have to have a fade!! Makes them easier to pick when overseas for sure!And the haircut should put fear in the opposition.
Rod Jameson ran a clinic I was at once and he said to me 'ala Peter Matera' after I dished out a baulk on some kid and got the handball back to Jamo
Thought I was gonna make it after that

Yeah, he's got some tree trunk legs doesn't he? Looks a bit like Peter Caven's build in that photo.
Thought he was more wirey then that from the photo's I saw.
