Ngl I was a fan of his earlier work but they got a bit desperate and rogue at the end there. Even if it was a board directive to have a crack.

Those FiveAA callers.... Absolute GOLD 
Not sure many would have assumed we could be in such a rich vein of form whilst still playing a number of marginal players - Cook, Pedlar, Taylor and Jones. I suppose Cumming and Rachele (hopefully) auto replace perhaps Jones and one of the other lads. Will be interesting to see who holds their place.

Both out of contract, along with Bond, Gallagher, Strachan, Taylor, Smith, Burgess, Crouch and Tex I think

Some tough calls to be made at the end of year.
Schoenberg is definitely the easiest delist - even ahead of Murphy, Burgess and Smith (none of whom should be offered a new contract).
Schoenberg & Burgess are both on the rookie list, which just means we shuffle a likely 2026 delistee to the rookie list (as we have for the last few years), thereby freeing up a spot on the senior list.
So apparently Carr is going to recruit a bunch of mongrels to dig Port out of the hole they're in. Why do Port people always default to this mindset? They're cavemen stuck in the dark ages of footy. Are any of the top teams in the AFL right now that have made their list out of a bunch of thugs?

It was Ricciuto making a joking reference to Laird being grumpy (a well-known joke around the club), and a suggestion that a new relationship and new puppy might have "cheered him up".
Any/all teams coached by Alastair Clarkson & Damien Hardwick? OK... not all thugs, but they certainly had more than their fair share of players who indulged in "unsociable football".
Other than SPP thereās not really any snipers out there anymore who actively go out and hurt people? So not sure who theyāre looking at

Highest-rated game of Thilthorpe's career, and he did it a different way - tons of impact around stoppages.

Crouch is still AFL standard, no doubt. But his role as an inside bull has been taken by Peatling and Berry, and he has no other strings to his bow. At this stage he is a depth player.
We should be looking to trade him for a club that needs his sort. Or else just signing him on as depth, with a salary to match.
I've liked Crouch over the journey, but he has been replaced.

And Neal Bullen loved it as well 12 tackles and watch him for minute after he kicked that first goal. Absolutely pumped
I think thatās correct.
Ignoring Gallagher as Cat B, I reckon Bond, Taylor, and either Tex or Burgess play on
One or more of Taylor, Berry, Butts or our 2023 first rounders yet to debut could be trade bait though for NWM in my view. If we can get Nas, we mortgage the farm.
So delist : Shoey, Murph, Smith, Crouch and Burgess. Crouch and possibly Shoey (actually rate him more than most) a chance to get picked up elsewhere

Also very pumped when other teammates score. Actually all our players are. They are finding true joy in the moment. Itās brilliant to see. Goals, smothers, tackles. Perhaps this is Davisās influence celebrating the ālittle thingsā but love to see it
Hopefully Nicks can put himself (the need to perform) ahead of an ageing servant of the club.
Is that avatar real?
Absolutely but much of it is also the combo of a fit team this year relative to last (TT, Worrell, Rankine, Murray etc missing much) AND the ābig 4ā inclusions of Curtin and the trade in guys. Add them all and itās at least a third of the team thatās far superior. And career best years for Keane, Worrell, Rachele, TT, Soli, Dawson etc
What really excites me is we were only ranked mid table for salary cap pressure in the recent H Sun article (along with Power and way below stressed salary cap teams above us like Blues). We should be able to bring in a Nas ANd one ore quality player - I roughly estimate around 2-2.5m spare still in the cap
Bring in Nas, small crumbing forward and perhaps another swingman tall and the future looks very very bright.
Unfortunately so. I clearly was hanging about the Intl politics thread too much but will upgrade to the three headed monster soon

AFL app has Curtin with 14 CBAs, that can't be right, can't it? I thought his first was the first of the 4th, there was only 8 goals in the 4th qtr.
