My original point was Port haven’t progressed forward in this area as much as the other Clubs have.


Hmmm..interesting how do you measure "progressing forward" in what's widely recognized as one of the best programs in the country?

Paul Vandenbergh is an amazing individual who would do more than you could even possibly dream up in one of your anti-Port wet dreams and the program he oversees should only be admired.

Unbelievable that I'm arguing with you about it, but that's your call because I'll defend it to the hilt.

I found it staggering that recent departures of Impey, Wingard, Ah Chee and Amon wanting out were attributed to Vandenbergh.


So why Would 4 indigenous players leave the greatest indigenous programme the afl has ever seen in the last 24 months then ???

Genuine question.

Let me guess Hinkley ???

I'm amazed how you've got such a handle on the relationships Williams had with Marlon Motlop, Daniel Motlop and Alipate Carlile 8 years ago as well as Hinkleys relationship with Ryder, Amon, Neade, Wingard*, Motlop, Powell-Pepper, Johnson, Barry and Thomas*.

Anyone would think you're just making shit up. Not me. I believe you.

He knows as much as you. Only difference he isn’t obsessed with defending PAFC I guess

Good luck with that.

Roy will have his hands full I reckon.

If Roy can handle Quinno Graham he can handle anyone

Cousins and Goodes are/were saints compared to this bloke.
I hope Roy can turn it around for him but I wouldn’t be holding my breathe if I was a Dogs supporter

You said the same about Jack Watts when the power added him to their list.

And look how much Jack has changed :-)

IF Sumner gets his act together he could be a very good pick up by doggies.

At the end of the day he’s had discipline issues, behaviour issues & commitment issues at numerous clubs.
Leopards don’t change their spots.

What he said
Has all the talent in the world but that only gets you so far.
I’d be surprised if he even plays a league game before quitting/sacked.

Reckon he only has one game suspension to get and he is banned for life. Way too risky getting him. No coach can stop someone with his discipline. He will snap and some point and that will be career over. Absolutely crazy by Dogs!


That would be his brother.

Sturt Premiership player Byron Sumner has one more game to go I believe. Timmy has 5 games to go I believe

Must admit Ive been seriously surprised by how important the 1 Captain issue is with so many Port supporters. Heaps of people talking about handing in their membership if the club breaks with tradition. I understand the want of many to keep in line with a proud history, and Ive always personally been a fan of just the 1 skipper at a club, but at the end of the day support the club and if they decide co-captains is in their best interest (why else would they do it?) then surely you just go with it?


The die hard/front running port fans will use any excuse to jump off.

Time slots
AAMI stadium is crow stadium(2 minutes from Alberton)
Weather
Ticket prices
Making a grand final and getting ass punched
Train strikes
Beer prices
Missing out on pregame dragon boat races
Telecast was Live on tv
Paying a for a bus ticket to the game


The results don’t change just the excuses.

Are port going to take up the bad press they cop with former player Dwayne Russell.


As for co-captains at port well the line “it’s the true port Adelaide tradition”’ I’m assuming will be changed :-)


Looks like we need to add co-captains to the list of excuses PAFC fans won’t attend Afl games in droves :-)

Poor front runners

Speaking of Intregity . Port whingeing , yes again , about the AO hotel . FFS was it not them that initiated the move there ?Oh yes it was ! I say pack your bags and play at Alberton and sort it yourself. Leaches . Port were asked for some information about AO in a parliamentary enquiry about the operation of the place. If you have re aad a few if the articles it states that Port asked the SMA for more detailed and were denied this, hence they cannot provide a reasonable response without the correct details.

The Crowd were asked for the same input.

Also Port and the Crows are pushing for a seat on the SMA table, this has been constant for some time bit was stated again in recent articles.

Now pafc and crows want to control Adelaide oval revenue and take control of sma.

Anyone else surprised even after a $9 million uplift in revenue for the afl clubs by moving to Adelaide Oval. That they contributed nothing towards.

The afl clubs still want more.

Pafc nearly bankrupted sa football and now wants to control its finances.

Unbelievable.

I still think an extra bonus point for teams that can score over 100 points is the way to go.

Don’t change the rules just change the reward system and let the coaches work out the issue of their teams lack of scoring problem.

Holy shit I’m agreeing with cornes

I assume that is Wrinkles and not Kane.


Yep Wrinkles “the 2 afl clubs should have no business sticking their nose into the running of Adelaide Oval”

The GF result is irrelevant. It’s about “potential revenue” lost.

Considering north were found guilty of “gross negligence” in causing the 19th man scenario this should of been a no brainer.

If it goes to court eagles would win easily imho

It’s not like we are talking about millions of dollars in compensation.

But wouldn’t that same “potential revenue” be equally valid for their GF opponent?

Regardless, I’m not sure how they could seek compensation for an unquantifiable amount?

No due to norwood didn’t lose an opportunity.

Love your work JK but that’s a long bow I can’t agree with

I used the digital pass Saturday and it performed better than Centrals did

Sumner is doing a 4 week mini preseason atm to improve his fitness

We earned that win, worked hard all day. Polish isn't there but the effort today could not be faulted. Cocks kicked 3 goals from holding the ball decisions (all of which were there) through us not taking the 1st option. If we give that sort of performance for the rest of the year win, lose or draw Dogs supporters should be happy. Fish, Hosko, Menzel best. Jydon Neagle is a beauty. Darcy Pisani will be very good for us this year, rucks are showing enough, just need a key forward.


Well said dogs r missing Butch upfront big time. But we are hugely improved on last year.

Menzel is a class above, the most talented player I’ve seen at the club since Josh Glenn/Nic Holman. Jyden Neagle is going to be beauty, Matt was very good in his first game. The two ruckman have a dip. Auckland is a better mark but Davis is becoming a big factor in the second half. Pisani is solid and Ortiz gives great pressure in the front half.

Gillard is one of the most improved players in the SANFL.

Usual suspects Schillers Hoskin Goodrem Habel Presbury very good, Jenner’s experience in defence is invaluable

I’ve received from a unreliable source a Photo of booney post showdown commiserating another power loss at the Woolshed.

Anyone else hear the interview with McCartin on Triple M?
Was pretty disturbing TBH and I can’t can’t see how he is ever allowed back on a football field

Have to feel for the bloke, I just hope he gets back to being himself again, football means nothing here.
Yep, very scary when you hear him say things like he can’t leave the house because of constant headaches and his partner is basically his full time carer.
Sounds like the Saints have pretty much crossed him off the list but he is having a hard time accepting it


I think He is contracted for another year so rookie list maybe.

Patty with concussion and Roberton with his heart condition will probably have to retire early

Here’s hoping Jack Steven can recover from his issues.

5-5 without Geary Steven Carlisle Lonie Hannebery Roberton & Patty has been a fair effort from the Saints.

A true sANFL legend

Thank you for everything Roy

The fact Rowey has caught up re:piss weak crowds ain’t my fault.

Maybe stop over promising and under delivering would be my tip.

Your defence/has more holes than a bogan from Albertons boots.

Going to get in before UK... 30k there. Amazing atmosphere
You must've been at a different Adelaide Oval to the one I went to today. In the first half you could hear a pin drop. Got a bit louder when Port were winning, but I still thought it was pretty dull considering.


29k for a season defining game that has placed Port in the 8.


7th lowest crowd at Adelaide Oval


And they are very much in the finals race. Wtf is going on at Alberton ?

You know in diving when you work out the score, you take away the best score and worst score...that's how I feel with this argument.
think both of you are at the extremes.

1 ) I'm not aware that Koch is stepping down
2 ) I doubt the China Strategy will come to an end if/when Koch steps down
3 ) I don't typically converse with that twat ( not Koch )

CGAF > immediately asked pertinent question.

Is there a bigger spanner on this site? I'll wait.

Didn't think so.

Can I guess you’ll deflect with more pot shots as oppose to answering the pertinent questions ??

Playing the man not the ball is so unlike PAFC supporters.

I guess it’s easy to understand why PAFC is such an unattractive commodity atm.

Playing the man not the ball again.

No wonder 1 in 4 supporters have walked away from PAFC.

Always Happy to ask questions about NMFC or AFC but when Mr Boon is asked questions about his club. His true nature gets revealed.

Happy to give it but.....

A mate at work is selling his crows season ticket

$485 for 11 games.

$44 a game before he has brought a beer/pie/merchandise.

I’m not sure what a power/membership/season ticket is but I doubt it would be to much different.


It will be interesting with China finally being profitable if the power declares a profit this year.


I’d doubt it.

Obviously my suggestion of reconnecting with members is a stupid idea to help with revenue/profit.

Now we know you're lying ;)

Thanks mate :-)

If we can get Daniel Menzel and keep Troy Menzel for the season, we may not need any recruits after signing the Kelly boys. I'm assuming Mathew Neagle and the Schiller brothers are still with us.
Both Schillers are staying,
Travis was leaving if someone else was staying.

Troy is staying and it appears likely Daniel will play IFFF he is not picked up.
Think Sam Milne should be counted as an IN for 2020 after spending a year O/s. He is as courageous as they come.
Jack Kelly played a season in Swans Ressies side.


Sam Hanna back out as well apparently.

I still think doggies need a couple of quality KPPs at either end and another ruckman

Yes. Depending on the draft.

Very interesting stuff, I'm definitely not naming any players but it's interesting to hear some of the players' names that are considering returning to Centrals, some recently left, some a few year's ago.
Hannath considered it but didn't like the way he was "moved on"
Sam Hanna said he will return in 2021,
Butcher is back but in a coaching role only,
Milne is back,
we are still negotiating with someone else (would be a very good pick up if we do take him back),

Ben Nason? Coming back for his 4th or 5th stint at Centrals?

No but we maybe talking to Eagles about the player in question.

How can KT keep a straight face when he claims that PAFC are profitable now.

Back to back losses offset by depreciation addbacks and re-valuations.



How much can I get on The year Koch’s leaves a huge deficit is declared without such write offs.


More smoke and mirrors at Alberton

No surprise that you comment in here before commenting in the thread where there's reported financial woes at "your own club"

:lol: :lol:


Apples with Apples dumbass.

Still waiting UK Fan's comments. :lol: :lol:

There is no way a reported financial situation like this would go without response on the PAFC boards, does the bloke even support Centrals or did he join SAF in their prime posing as a Dog looking for internet friends.

Either that or I know there is nothing to worry about.

The story in the paper alluded to centrals requesting a further $12k off a water bill.

As I stated on Facebook big deal.

Maybe if PAFC was made to pay its annual $600k licence repayment/ Adelaide oval rent it wouldn’t be an issue for sanfl clubs.

Jesus H, never thought SA Footy would be infiltrated by the modern day scourge of being offended by everything.

It's a fundraiser for people who have lost family, lost their homes, lost everything and you're complaining about the terminology used to describe it?

Get over yourselves.

But Port can complain about the terminology used to describe them? ;)

UK couldn't even bring this much thick to an argument.

You try and take the moral high ground at people who question the terminology of the event. But abusing posters on a forum about this topic is all ok in your book. Seriously mate ?? Time and a place...

More everyone do as I say but not as I do attitude from the king of it.




Oh and Well done AFL/AFLPA I hope you raise millions for this great cause.

See it’s really not that hard Genius.

It seems whenever a change is made at the SANFL , it is greeted with a negative discontent . Is it because most are just negative souls or do you actually know these people ? Is it always that bad ? Im trying to get some balance in this rather than just easy blame . Some of you may not understand this but a few might.

My skepticism stems from the fact that the job is now clearly seen as a stepping stone to AFL club Administration, as openly celebrated by the CEO and that the previous two holders of the position moved to the Power and Crows respectively, after overseeing what many believe to be more than generous concessions to the two SANFL based AFL Reserve Teams...

Show me someone who puts the SANFL first and doesn’t kowtow to the AFL clubs and I’ll be the first to pat them on the back.

And doesn’t use the piss weak excuse When caving to the afl it’s where the money comes from.

An afl club nearly bankrupted footy in this state which seems to be easily forgotten

Knock it down and move into the modern era. I thought you saw yourselves as trendsetters?

Itll probably replaced by the little mini league scoreboard, afterall the scores don't matter in any games that are played there these days.


Fair point actually.

What percentage of port adelaides population have been conceived under that scoreboard on a Grand Final night ?? :-)

Has PAFC thought of auctioning off that sign (and anything else that might be of value?). Im sure they would get a nice price for it.

When the old AO members stand came down, I got one of the old Green signs "Food/Drink/Beer" for $250, now sits under my pergola at home.

The numbers/letters I think are being framed and auctioned off.

Should donate them to the local schools in the area

Would you like the U and K?

You should claim the D and H :-)
