I can't believe in this day and age we still have the ******* bounce.
And let's just attempt it randomly, yeah great rule.
Dumbest ******* aspect in the game, and that's from someone who spent 95% of his time in ruck.

PRISON BAR JUMPERS SELLOUT
Sales of Port’s heritage guernsey have gone nuts at the Port Store at Alberton ahead of tomorrow night’s Showdown.

The club says it has sold out of the lace-up prison-bar guernsey, while 250 of the long sleeve woollen prison bar jumpers have been sold at $250 a pop, netting the club $62,500.

The uptake in traditional merchandise comes after the AFL refused to allow Port to wear the old strip during its state clash with the Crows following objections from Collingwood who also don black and white stripes.

The marketing ploy has worked a treat. Fans engaged (and enraged), money in the bank.

Well played PAFC.
They've well and truly rooted any chance they have of wearing it again and will probably have $62,500 less in their hand out from the AFL this year.
Well played? I think not.
If they played it smart they might have had a chance but none now.

It will be no cash in the long run and has meant they have no chance of wearing the defunct clubs guernsey now.
They're also losing a lot of support they had for their cause by clearly breaking a contract which is also dangerous ground when you're not financially viable.
Only a loss for Port.
If they'd approached it from a logical point of view and adhered to the contract they signed they would have had 99% of the footy public behind them and also made more money in the long run.
They're ****** now.
Dumb.

It's been said before but the recruitment of Alir has been a master stroke in that it filled a spot they needed filling and it cost them stuff all.
Port's backline were great last night as there were periods when the Crows were on top in general play but they kept repelling them.
I was riding most defensive efforts as I had a multi for Port to win every quarter at the line and it was close most times.

Good, their reserves and Sydney should stop butchering the Notre Dame Victory March!
Go the fighting Irish!

Thank you kind $ir!

That result is for you Frank Costa.

Thanks for the info Booney, good news for me too only having to book Thursday on off.
The 119 guernsey will be coming out if the woodwork again!

I resemble that remark!
Pfft, Rohan is a spud.
I do have an issue with the bounce however.
I reserve the right to quote myself in 15 beers time and abuse myself though

Love Toohey's barrels.

Was his fault for doing it in the shade where its harder to see what actually happens.

Heaps of people tell me that but something about the taste I don't like, prefer the paler ales.

I feel sorry for them. It must be hard when the whole world is against you.

Wish he got Roy Lairds opinion. A whole lot of views from SANFL yes men, that did as they were told by the AFL teams so they could later get AFL club jobs. It's a joke how they bring up the lack of competitiveness of the afl reserves teams, due recruiting and top ups, don't mention Ports 3 sanfl grand final appearances. He does at least mention Peel Thunder was a basket case, basically did a deal behind the backs of the other wafl teams with Freo and then won two premierships.
I can't (but can) believe the Crows have had their payments to the SANFL clubs cut. Get rid of them!!


What has Port got out of it?
Their payments of $0 has been halved.

No idea.

Don't feel sorry for Richmond too often but they're getting screwed by the umps tonight.

Mentioned it briefly in the footy thread but tried the Prison Bar Ale yesterday and loved it! Could drink a heap more of that! Try to avoid cans but it was a lot better than the Pirate Life Lager on tap. ( which was OK)
Very schmick cans too. What sort of Ale is it?

Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

A prison bar ale! :lol:
I drank from noon till 4am so don't ask me any questions requiring thought. ;)
I think it tasted like a cross between a session ale and a little creatures pale.
I'll definately try it again and will give it a better review then.

Congratulations to Port for becoming the 119th team to win a VFL/AFL game when only scoring one point in the first quarter.

LOL I was a bit drunk last night and forgot I put the bet on till I saw this thread again this morning! I only got $8 but am not complaining my account is fatter today than yesterday, thanks stampy!

Such a wasted opportunity for a thread to be titled "What's Up Doc?"

Just PM'd you mate, you're welcome to use my DP as I'm at most games anyway.

After my son's ordeal 18 months ago he is still on the road to recovery, he has come a long way but there's still things we hope return normally.

He lost his hearing in his right ear, it's quite common for permanent hearing loss with the infection and surgery he had, he had accepted that.

18 months later out of the blue, his hearing came back yesterday afternoon, he went straight to the WCH and they just couldn't believe it.

I might be getting a bit soft in my old age but it chugged on my heart strings all afternoon/evening, even this morning I have a massive lump in my throat and I'm completely overwhelmed.

I'm a very happy man this morning.
That's awesome news mate!

Fair to say if you get there about 2pm you’ll still get a park on Milner road no problems!

Pretty sure you're right considering the game is at Alberton.

Like sands through the hourglass.........

Yeah mate, I'll be there, you're welcome to it for another week.

I saw one. And it was only because his dad was too cheap to take his kid to the AFL.

Hartung has done a hammy. FFS.

He's done more hamstrings than beers you have drunk

Today? Yeah fair call, I've only had about 10 today.

Armchair expert wrote:Just saw a crows fan touch the ball, give em another fine

That's one thing I didn't see today.

Norwood's defence was wonderful against North at the Parade. Might have been 100 plus if not for their fine resilience in keeping us to just a 92 point win.

Congratulations to the Selwoods tonight in passing the Danihers record. Amazing effort.

Good game. Had some fun.
Best on ground was the young fella next to me who managed to lift up all 120kgs of me twice.
Rozee was good though, a good battle between one North Adelaide player and Geelong.

Maybe.......

Is that because you deleted all the replies?
I'd just like to assure everyone nothing has been deleted today, in fact I can't even remember the last time anything needed deleting off this site.
That's just The Bedges attempt at humour when he got called out successfully I assume. ;)
Nope, there were definitely replies that went up - one was from Jimmy - I thought you must’ve deleted them.
Just checked the logs and both Booney and Jimmy deleted posts they'd written themselves. No mods deleted a post of anyone else's.

Not even close.

She's actually had 65k views and that's in addition to the a few other posts floating around on various social media.
Wouldn't surprise me if I'm one of Mick's multis on the Front Bar this week. :lol:

Who still thinks its about your health? morons

What's the benefit to whoever is conspiring to have no crowd?

Less chance of Geelong winning.
It's an anti Cats conspiracy.

Great scenes after the match, well done Bucks.

I'm not clevers enough for them fancy banjos so I play the spoons in my family.

Spent yesterday at a conference and then an awards night for work, a few work people flew in from Sydney for it and I spent the day with them, included a new guy who had just started with us, I knew the face but just couldn't connect to how I knew it, half way through dinner it hit me when he said he previously played a bit of Rugby, it was Phil Waugh :oops:
Not a pretty face too!
Absolute legend though, loved watching him play for the Tahs!

“The players had purchased food and beverages earlier and had placed their food and drinks in front of them during the race. Their masks were placed on their laps at the time.

“Once they had finished eating and drinking they put their masks back on as required."

Noone dislikes the Crows more than me but at least the Crows owned up to their **** up, that response of Port really is pathetic.
Grow some nuts Port.

Love our home ground advantage, half of the opposition s frees and every one of our goals goes to review,need should relocate to Perth.

One of the problems Tasmania has is the dislike/rivalry the North has with the South.
Overcoming/mitigating this will be a big issue.

Chris is. Alex isn't.

Panic buying has started again, why the hell I have no idea.

I'm not sure what the issue is with McBean. I love watching him play, one of my fav players outside of my club. Would have him at North in a heartbeat.

Gratz Booney, that's great news that you at least have a choice!
Hope it all goes well for you mate!
I know personally speaking after a 28.5 year career a change was one of the best things to ever happen to me. Good luck!

@Jim05 , can I just say thank you mate.
Besides being one of my favourite posters on the site the information you provide in advance that is normally spot on is greatly appreciated.
