Port Adelaide 2017

Hey, more than happy to discuss previous or future seasons with those who are willing to discuss them rationally. Not just trolling for the sake of it.

Come on mate, one only has to look at the kicking you give in particular Adelaide, North & Richmond in their threads to appreciate the hypocrisy here.

Port Adelaide are set to announce a new Major Partner today, joining Renault as the two major sponsors of the PAFC.

South China Airlines are the most likely, however my mail suggests it may be a more global brand looking to further develop it's ties to the Chinese market.

China Southern already sponsor Melbourne don't they?

They do, that's why I think my mail might be on the mark.

Didn't they already announce this? Thought it was Parmalat (Oak Milk)? Or is this another new one?

Oh no, I'm being called a hypocrite, how will I sleep?

I join in discussion mate, I don't dig up old articles simply to troll, difference?

So joining a discussion to troll is different? Got it

The only reason the two admin have posted in here recently has been to cause a stir, nothing more.

Anyway, we digress. Plus, I've got a long night laying awake ahead.

I agree with Boon here I think he has a point. Dutchy is a well known shit stirrer of Port and as a mod should handle himself better.

Wedgie on the other hand is at least creative. Might be a new bobbie of his since he has a bt more time on his hands now, when hes not a the pub of course

I can do both. At the pub now! [emoji38]

Lol christ I was only kidding about the pub bit but hey seems like your living the dream now.

Did a bit of investigating and 119 is actually China's Emergency Phone Number! True story!

Always good to look back on some previous articles -

SNAP

I wanted to ask what the feeling was about Port's chances next season, given that for the past two years they were touted as being finals certainties and flag possibilities. Looks as though we might need to tip toe around the issue so hope the discussion doesn't upset anyone.
Seriously though, I would say Port are better placed for an assault on the finals next year, with Ryder being available and all. I reckon the absence of the media talking up their chances would do them a favour also.
Are the Port folk confident, or just quietly?

Ryder is an extremely important inclusion for us, so too will Trengove being back in his rightful place at CHB as well as Hombsch and Jonas as the 2nd/3rd talls in the back half who both missed much of 2016. Two pretty key areas we were well and truly undermanned in last year. Quietly confident of challenging for the bottom half of the 8 as I think North will free fall and West Coast will slip a little and while Melbourne are on the improve, they're still Melbourne and I think we're better placed than Collingwood to win an extra 2-3 games and get to the 13-15 win mark.

Agree with most of that. I wonder what the media will make of it. I quietly backed against port with confidence this season. I would assume the Ryder factor would be enough to get you in the 8 next year though.

No one does 119 as good as Port though.
Booney, apologies for trolling and bringing up the past all in the one sentence.

Yep, it's like when someone says, "I'm not a troll, BUT...."
If you have to say "but", you are a troll, no exceptions!

Geebus!

Just thought it was an interesting article to read in retrospect, it was only an opinion and showed where the mindset with PA was back in 2014

[Dutchy]

Interesting positioning of Port taking a gambling sponsorship when everyone else is distancing themselves away from gambling companies sponsorships.

Again, other clubs are refusing to take sponsorship $ from gambling companies, LUXbet at Richmond as an example.

Im not saying its right or wrong, just compared to its peers its a different approach
