Port Adelaide 2019

[Magellan]

I keep hearing Dixon has issues outside the club, any ideas?

Trouble finding a parking space?

[Booney]

Dixon and Motlop dropped.

Ryder and Garner in.

What’s the go with Dixon?
Isn’t he slowly building form?

Never expected him to see the year out after what he's come back from. No preseason, slow build to some fitness but now he looks cooked and as LM rightly notes we're not exactly helping him.

So will Port put him on ice now if he’s cooked or will he still play SANFL?

He'll play SANFL. The ground covered in the two is chalk and cheese.

Dixon and Motlop dropped.

Ryder and Garner in.

Happy to see Motlop finally dropped but annoyed Dixon out as was chance to see how the much talked about during pre season Combo of Dixon at FF with Ryder and Lycett rucking changing in forward pocket went . This was all sold as the great advantage we would have this year with similiar set up as West Coast with rucks changing forward with 2 tall forwards as well but KENNY has not tried it once for the season since Dixon has been back from injury . Would also like to see Kenny Ballsy enough to leave a forward inside 30 so we have someone to kick to when we try and play fast footy , if opposition want to go up the ground so be it at least we would have a target and one who was probably metres in the clear

He'll play as a forward and kick 4 or 5.

I've been questioning this since Dixon arrived, I thought "bingo, we have a much needed target", instead the poor bastard has to keep running up and down the ground and try marking the ball running with the flight.

Mike Sheahan labelled Dixon the most overrated player in the comp. Not wrong, especially from SA media and Port fans. Gameplan apparently...

Sheahan only just realizing in his 60's that you need to act like a c..nt in the media to get attention?

Would like to see all coaches do this. Maybe even more than just 1 left inside 50. It would only take 2-3 goals from fast breaks for opposition coaches to have to start manning them up.

[MW]

Not sure what games you guys are watching. There are forwards that stay home, but there is also 3 defenders that stay with them.

Port’s game plan isn’t responsible for his concrete hands. The bloke simply drops far too many marks

You'd think we'd be more inclined to get out the pitchforks if we thought his lack of return was due to his lack of effort.

A 200cm solid bloke isn't built to run up and down a ground all day and then be expected to a leading forward taking a big grab.

We have excellent small forwards so just once I'd like to see us play a semi-traditional game style.

You reckon Sheahan knows he rucked for half a year in a side that was 11-4?

What’s obvious to some isn’t always obvious to others.

Surely with his job on the line, Ken can see this too?

It's why we turn to shit late in the season continuously, they are spent, they find a bit of oomph each year after the bye but then the fatigue from the game plan all season kicks in.

We'd be better off having no tall forward, just a super quick front 6 to run on the ball with the over the top run on plan.

AFL have stepped in to take control of Port's finances.

How's this mail going mate?

It takes a while to review 4 years of mis-management

Port Adelaide Football Club has announced a landmark sponsorship agreement with PwC.

The two organisations entered into a significant long-term sponsorship, announced at Adelaide Oval this morning. The agreement makes PwC one of Port Adelaide’s most significant sponsors, and ties the two organisations together for an extended period.

“Port Adelaide Football Club is proud to be sponsored by this significant global brand,” said Port Adelaide Chairman David Koch.

"It is a great endorsement for our club because PwC has historically only sponsored big global sporting brands and events such as the America’s Cup, PGA and Irish Rugby.

“But PwC has seen a strong alignment with Port Adelaide. Port Adelaide believes in the power of connection. We believe in innovation and best practice. And we have international reach but are dedicated to our community.

“PwC is a big deal. They are rated as one of the top 50 brands worldwide, part of a network of firms in 158 countries with more than 250,000 people, who deliver services to more than 5,000 clients.

“This sponsorship will assist Port Adelaide on field, but will also help improve our practices off field. In short, PwC’s sponsorship will help Port Adelaide better serve our 60,000 members, which is our core business.

PwC will be welcomed into the Port Adelaide community at the Before the Bounce event preceding its crucial home match against GWS GIANTS tomorrow night. Chairman David Koch will interview PwC Adelaide’s Managing Partner Jamie Briggs, providing further insight into the sponsorship arrangement between the organisations.

Since joining PwC in 2016, Mr Briggs has made a significant contribution to the growth of the firm’s Adelaide office. He has been Managing Partner since 1 July 2019.

“PwC works with businesses, Government and the community to help Australia continue to thrive and grow,” said Mr Briggs

“PwC and the Port Adelaide Football Club are philosophically aligned - both are innovative businesses, driving commercial activity in key growth markets, such as China.”

Mr Briggs was formerly Federal Minister for Cities and the Built Environment and the Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development.

He is extensively connected amongst the senior executive and Cabinets of both state and federal governments. Known for his deep political acumen, prior to entering Parliament Mr Briggs was a Senior Advisor to the then Prime Minister the Hon. John Howard from 2004-2007.

“Together, PwC and Port Adelaide Football Club can open doors and drive results to solve important problems and provide confidence to businesses and to the community. PwC calls this The Together Effect,” Mr Briggs said.

“South Australia is where the action is, in respect to growth opportunities in Australia. Together, PwC and Port Adelaide will attract more economic activity to South Australia through innovation, collaboration and excellence.  

“PwC is proud to sponsor Port Adelaide, and thanks the entire team at the Club in concluding this important agreement.”

So someone to help you cook the books?

[am Bays]

He'll play SANFL. The ground covered in the two is chalk and cheese.

Distance not so much in particular if you are getting beaten (chasing)

The percent intensity, of the distance covered though....

Agreed, and the intensity and style of SANFL ( forwards tend to hold position more ) differs.
