The wind.

Good point. Yes two less games but same price. Have not seen ours yet. We may need to charge more to keep Wundke!

Killergrew?

Smac?

Two things surprise me. If true, his contract is not reliant on him playing. By his own admission he feels that his body is in poor condition. Given that he was instrumental in leading the players against Ainger, he now joins him. I'm sure that Ainger probably won't say a word, but he couldnt be thrilled with the news.

He paid the 140K

Then you would call yourself the Port Adelaide Football Club ........

It did not say.

I reckon it might be the boards of the six yes voters because there is a rumour that some people feel that the AFL reserves is not in keeping with the wishes of club members. Just a rumour.

I think it was the money from the SANFL bailout....

Think Reece is buying the drinks after being taken in, hook, line and sinker. Union Hotel Waymouth Street.

Get this:

SANFL club presidents are questioning why they were not consulted. Norwood president Joe Tripodi told The Advertiser: "We should have been notified and consulted."

Why? So you could disregard your members wishes and sell them out? Again?

Quick side with plenty of talent. The non afl players are far better than the crows players.

Flag favourite for mine.

That's because they crossed the keyboard when they saw you coming

Then it's Glenelg in Round 2 at Alberton, so it's a tough start but one that will give us a real insight into where we're at, how competetive we're going to be and who will be part of our group for the year ahead.

Wow. Imagine how tough the start would be playing Glenelg at Glenelg.

Farcking hypocrites.

This is football is not a league that has two other clubs reserves.

A completely compromised competetion may be too long but more apt.

Also, no Motlop or Krakouer for Port.

Well, she does do her best work on grass........

Still composing himself........

opinions, they are like arse holes, every site has them.

A great preview to the game including more hostilities between Rocket Rooster and the Panther and informative interviews with Matt Rose, Brad Crabb, Ben Williams and Max Thring:

The Benny Hill theme. It never gets old.

I agree Wedgie that its a shame that he finished 7 games short, especially since he played 47 reserves games and played his junior footy with North as well.

Always left me with the impression that he gave it is all with what was a fearless attack on the ball any any one who had it. I admire one club players greatly and wish him well.

What did he do in 2009? Was it overseas travel?

We should copy the AFL.

No reserves teams in either league.

Peter Rolfe in the reserves. Good luck Rolfey.

Adelaide did not put in after half time at all. Seemed quite deliberate. Bruise free. If they were serious, Siggins would not have started on Newton let alone finish on him. A passionless game.

Wonder what the smallest Friday night crowd at the Parade is in recent years.
Beautiful conditions for football tonight and the Cows with their strongest line up for the year, would of thought with their guaranteed 4k we should of pushed 7-8k tonight. Would of hardly covered the power bill tonight, thanks again you lyin caarnts.

Well, when the league has been so badly compromised, you have to think why? Who let them in?

The biggest liar by far, in this whole debacle has been the NFC as led by Tripodi. Do not complain about what you sanctioned. if you can not lay the blame where it rightly sits, then the argument lacks substance. At no stage did Norwood ever vote the AFL clubs in due to a perception of crowd figures, expenditure or profit. They sold their vote to alleviate their penalty from cheating the salary cap.

Scathing maybe.

No alleged hit by Alleway. It was. Alleged hit by Rolfe, Not by me. Did not say Rolfe missed him.

Not rich at all for me to say a club needs to lose its coach to go forward. I am probably the most qualified.

Bit rich for a Port Diehard to be watching a Glenelg/South game when the one club is at Alberton.

Port Natives.

Or we all could help by not using our season or home match tickets for 1 week, pay the $10 at the gate and really push the message that $14 is way over the top.

I will collect $10 of you on Saturday and hand it in for you.

And what does this board do, let alone , achieve?

Watched the highlights on the SANFL site. Great to see Peter Mötley high fiving the team going off the ground as well as the kids. Kept under control, this is a great part of our league.

philcas wrote:I am again staggered that Griggy is traveling emergency for crows. What is the point of that
Now that boggles the mind he has to have a full game somewhere surley

Is this from a Norwood or Adelaide perspective?

Considering I never thought the PAFC would go back on the promise to Magpie members in the One Club proposal that the Magpies wouldn't become a franchise reserves team, I'll keep in mind that you shouldn't rule anything out.

The one club proposal was that that particular merger wouldn't make the Magpies a reserves team. It didn't. End of story

Rusty. Call them what you like. When the team is made up from the players not chosen at the higher or highest level, they are the reserves, b grade, magoos , frost kickers or whatever you like. South could call their second side the Ramblers, but the Ramblers remain the reserves etc.

The Magpies are the left overs from the Power and are supplemented by additional players, depending on how many are required.

The Crows have an identical scenario in essence.

Neither Port or the Crows have any place in our league.

Cross lotto for Bass. Ranking to miss.

South by 3 goals

Not to mention Fawad Alam. Trying to have a quirky batting style to be different. What a wanker.

The first match was like watching a retard on the dance floor, the match last night same retard on the dancefloor but now had too many to drink.

Raja (commentator) let fly calling him a selfish, irresponsible timewaster.

Yes. Bled. Automatic 3 month suspension.

Walking at the beach today. Adelaides beaches are great.

South League
South Reserves
South u/18

Just to clarify.

The League team represents what the club feels is their best and strongest available side.

The reserve team is made up of players unable to make the league side.

The u/18s side is made up of players under the age of 18 . Under 18 players can play in either the league or reserve if considered good enough.

Whre is the silver as per the club song?

Frazier Dale back training at South

Well Westies number is fantastic. South would/are be very envious.

PORT Adelaide won't rest over its Easter weekend SANFL bye, instead fixturing a trial game against amateur league goliath Goodwood Saints. Allocated the bye in the opening round over the Easter weekend, the Magpies will instead play the Saints on Easter Thursday 2 April under lights at Thebarton Oval. The Academy will play division two side Prince Alfred Old Collegians in the curtain-raiser, and will also play Tea Tree Gully at 9:15am before Port Adelaide's trial game against the Crows at Alberton on March 21.

When was the last time an amateur aussie rules team played against a SANF...sorry, AFL team?


When was the last time a professional team referred to its ammo opponents as a "goliath" and a "powerhouse"?

ALL clubs should be together on this. If you go, there is no coming back is the clear and distinct message they should get.

However, six clubs have no credibility on sticking together and could not be trusted to carry this out. This is where the yes vote by those six now leaves us. Disjointed.

Would , if you were a current player or club official,, welcome any one back who buggers off just before the start of the season to play practice matches for another club?

This piffle that it is an opportunity as sprouted by quite a number of VFL and SANFL officials is farcical. An opportunity for what?

Conviction overturned. May be a double edged sword.

May now have to face charges in Australia.

Reality is he is a dropkick father who deserted his children.

Wasn't that how the flux capacitor worked?

Lights went out, game finished early, would not read to much into it.

We will go top, Nick Liddle Magery and Brett Eddy the Ken Farmer.

I think it was a trade, Buddy for the COLA.

Frothy footy trivia - Mate just asked for 5 former AFL ruck men that became coaches, other than Primus. Help please?
Please, please, do not perpetuate the myth that the AFL was the VFL. This is greatly disrespectful to other great players and clubs from at least South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. JK's post specifically mentions AFL. If he meant all leagues, then different question.

If Port do not win the premiership this year, it will be the biggest underachievement since,,,

last year.

And early because their league side is on the box later. Don't you just love how we bend over?
