He's not enough of a missing piece

I think at this point the Port logic is they need the two firsts, their remaining seconds and their thirds to buy about 10 missing peieces. NAS is just not enough on his own.

 

[ABAB]

There are some delusional Port fans on the Port page.

Read one post just now that says we support racism and he is an idiot if he makes his decision on the back of 2025.

We supposedly have an "easy" draw this year despite 3 out of 6 double up games not only against top 8 but teams fighting for the 4.

 

[hippyhippy]

Well, this doesn't rule any of the 3 clubs out lol, unless the leak today is real.......

I guess that rules out Collingwood, north, hawks, carlton and sydney.

Crows confirmed

 

[hippyhippy]

If nwm selected the crows ... it would really cap off a super year for Kens farewell tour...

 

[Pea Nut]

Yeh one i created 15 years ago numpty

Tell us you’re a Port troll without telling us you’re a Port troll.

Also, rather amusing to see Hinkley at 50 lines it up liked your post !!

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Has anyone bothered to check out the account/s? Is that even legit?

Nope not his actual instagram account

 

[FR0GGY]

Certainly doesn’t sound like something he’d say

Sounds like its not his account

 

[ABAB]

Yeah, when you created your real Port Power account 15 years ago.

 

[BunjiMac]

He ain't coming don't get caught up in these attempts by the manager to keep the auction going.

He will be at Port next year so you better get used to it.

 

[Mostyn]

Any possibility of his management using Adelaide to pump up St Kildas contract offer?

We are way past still needing to bump up his offer. He'll get everything he wants.

 

[cleanhands]

 

[GrommoT]

I think we'll give up three first round picks.

Before anyone says we can't, I think we'll go (if we haven't already) to the AFL and they'll tick it off.

I don't see the AFL saying no ,especially if it means St Kilda end up getting a better deal.

Maybe a square up for the umpiring botch ups we've copped last few seasons?

 

[Pea Nut]

Yeah, when you created your real Port Power account 15 years ago.

17 posts in 15 years.

“Nah it’s not a burner account bro !!”

Check my post history peanut brain.

If you numpties bothered to do some research you would realise that tiktok account is not Nas. Calling out brain dead hope when i see it

 

[BRL121]

I can't be bothered going right through this thread.
Is all the fuss simply because Journalist 2 has repeated exactly what Journalist 1 said a couple of days ago?

 

[BunjiMC]

Buckle up. The AFL is not happy.

You mean the 17 garbage posts with nothing positive to say about the Crows, and posts that mainly revolve around player trading. Yeah screams die hard Crows fan.

The AFL is set to investigate an alleged offensive slur made by an Adelaide player towards his Collingwood opponent during Saturday night’s epic finals-shaping encounter.
This masthead understands the league is likely to become involved in an alleged vilification probe as a result of an on-field comment during the emotion-charged Adelaide Oval clash.
If the Crows player is found guilty of making the slur, it could have ramifications for his finals series but also Adelaide’s premiership hopes.
The AFL, Collingwood and Adelaide would not comment on Sunday night.
But the Herald Sun is aware of the personal nature of the comment, which has not yet been proven.

The AFL is set to investigate. Picture: James Elsby/AFL Photos
The AFL would be likely to interview both parties through its integrity department before making a ruling on the veracity of the comment.
But the league takes extremely seriously any form of vilification.
Only last week the AFL investigated a potential inappropriate touching case against Brisbane’s Henry Smith against his Sydney opponent Nick Blakey
