Estimated to pay off $2-2.5m in 2023 getting under $4m.

Plan to eliminate pokies in the next 3 years.

Surplus.

Very healthy improvement over the last 10 years. Doubling the membership is no small feat.

Is the Port/Bulldogs Gather rd game sold out?
Tried multiple times to get my barcodes to work but it’s just not happening.
I only got a email last Thursday saying that I haven’t done it yet reminder type thing.

I checked a few hotels prices for that weekend end and it’s out of control. For 3 nights at the Stamford Plaza $1500 and the Intercontinental was $2700. Cheaper to drive back to the farm everyday.

A lot of Bomber supporters would have snapped up tickets for that afternoon, and being out of snow season, there may be a lot of Demons around too.

Try air BNB, some people haven't cottoned on to that round yet.

All BS aside, the AFL will see this as a huge success, 2.5 months out and everything is booked out.

Orazio looking lively, fingers crossed he can get a run at it.

Well he is a jet.

Where is the review.....did they lose??

Heard about 10 minutes of the 5AA call (which was terrible, don’t bother calling it off the TV), Giniver and Tredrea were scathing. Words like insipid, lazy, soft, stupid were constantly used. They were so angry

Port can draw inspiration from North Melbourne in 1993

belted by Adelaide by over 25 goals in the pre-season but ended up making finals finishing 3rd after the minor round.

Mind you they did sack the coach before the real stuff started....

Was it the coach's fault or are the players to blame?

The over reaction to a trial game is complete and utter comedy
