Geez here we go ...........................
PORT Adelaide is bracing itself for a raid from interstate clubs for its superstar youngster Chad Wingard.

And one of the main threats that has flagged its interest in the talented forward is premiership threat Hawthorn, which has a history of attracting the players they want through aggressive trading.
Power football operations chief Peter Rohde took a pragmatic view to the byplay, but said Port was prepared for persistent offers from other clubs.
“We think he’ll be aggressively pursued, there’s no doubt about that,’’ Rohde said.

This is the most laughable football article in a long time and that includes all the Essendon nonsense.What planet the author is on I don't know (I won't mention his name its not worth it).The fact Chad commited long term last year, is happy at Port, on good money now, will probably get more, and the playing group we have is as tight as ever, plus the god like status he has with our fans yeah all signs he will leave in 2016 when it's still 2014.F@#k me what a waste of ink

The amount of time and energy you spend thinking and writing about a club you hate is astounding. It is quite impressive, maybe even bordering on obsessive?
Says the supporter of the club who's board went 12 +pages over a Facebook comment made over a month ago by a Tealster and after about three pages spent more time bashing each other than the writer of the comment

Their very existence is based on obsession with us.

Let's not be great, let's stop Port Adelaide from being great.

The end.
Spot on Dingle. I know of a SANFL event, where a SANFL official commented that if the AO move is really good for Port then it should not happen. In other words it is ok if the cows are in mediocre territory as long as Port are in shi**ville. Bunch of pathetic spuds.

On the non-news about Wingard: I have little doubt that over the next few years we will lose someone to free agency. That's just the odds. I doubt it will be Wingard though. And, as others have said, he's not out of contract for another two years. Jesper obviously had to fill some space to justify his wage. That spells 'fantasy time' for him.

Jesper is a prize spud. Why would you even go there, when, A. We are talking about a guy who did not wan't t leave the state of SA. And B. He has 2 years left on his contract. Smacks of a typical cows supporting journo who is being mischevious. There could be no other plausible explanation imo.

Breaking news: Crows pursuing soon-to-be out of contract Wingard. "He'll definitely be crossing to West Lakes", said a source. "The opportunity to play alongside the competition's best midfielders and small forward will be too tempting to pass up."

Why don't The Advertiser's moderators like me?

On this board, it is sarcasm. To the cowvertiser they wouldn't know you are a Port supporter, they will think it is the rantings of a sadly misinformed cow supporter.

I am always amused by the "history back to 1860" that they claim. The Adelaide Football Club was formed in 1860 but only played games internally and the odd game against teams from other suburbs. The first organised league was when they played in the SAFA from 1877-1881 and from 1885-93. This was the precursor of the SANFL but the Adelaide Football Club in fact has no SANFL history. Claiming their history to be from 1860 is even more of a long shot than if a Victorian team called University entered the AFL and claimed their history from 1908 (University played in the VFL from 1908-1918).
