Port Adelaide 2016

[UK Fan]

Ryder is back so problem solved for 2017 obviously. Wasn't Lobbe tried first but was absolutely useless so then had to use Trengove ??

I'm sure if It didn't cost Port so much to sack Hinkley he'd be gone.


Didn't Dixon kick 30 odd goals this year ??? He's a 30-40 goal a year forward IMHO!! So not sure how much improvement you'll see with him.

I can't see Port improving this year at all tbh.

They need to bottom out before they'll improve IMHO.

No finals this year and the crowds will decrease even further. Predictable times ahead.

I thought their crowds weren't bad this season. Surely Port are passed the days of sub 20K crowds

Why not cos they play an INXS song before there games now ??? The older Adelaide Oval tenancy gets and the longer Port remains uncompetitive crowds are only going to decrease.

History has this weird way of it's repeating itself that way.

[Brodlach]

Same way you have a weird way of repeating yourself about the Power crowds?

Suri, UK fan has unhealthy quite disturbing fascination with crowd sizes. It's very similar to a broken record.

Speaking of records, for the record I certainly think we will improve but, With this being said I don't think we're in the race for the flag.

UK fan saying the above fills me with more confidence as I've forgotten more about football than that spanner will ever know!

[Booney]

If this doesn't confirm the concerns about Ports depth then nothing will. "Ryder is back so we will be ok" ...wow.

Who said that, and where?

Let me guess, you don't like flares either, do you?

[Dutchy]

Other than Dixon, what other tall forward who is not injured is going to kick enough goals for Port?

Its bloody hard to complete a sentence about Dixon without using the word "injured"

YAWN!!!!!! I Hear it every year mate.

Last season was I abused for correctly predicting Ports first sub 30k crowd was imminent.

You can convince yourself all you want tbh. But Let me ask you this Carey . Has an AFL team with Jimmy Toumpas on its list ever competed in a final series ????

[Booney]

Yeah carey, predicting crowds mate. Imagine if you had a life as fulfilling as that, wouldn't be so lippy then would you?

[UK Fan]

Yeah carey, predicting crowds mate. Imagine if you had a life as fulfilling as that, wouldn't be so lippy then would you?

I know as if anyone would get so PRECIOUS about afl crowds.

IM sure it wont get anyones nose (NO MATTER THE SIZE) out of joint again this year.


Do I dare ask whats your opinion on if Port will report a profit this year ???



Anyway back to Ports aggressive trade period...................................

This obsession you have with Port Adelaide - it's unhealthy and a bit sad really.
I really think you should see a doctor (does anyone bulk bill in Davoren Park?) If so, please get some medication before something really bad happens: like Port winning another flag or attracting 40,000 fans again

Bahahaha.
The tumbleweed comment is quite funny for us non Power supporters given all the piss and wind coming from Alberton towards season end about being aggressive this trade period!

[Brodlach]

Confirmed that Port have traded next years first round draft pick

[Dutchy]

Big 3-way trade breaking now!
Gold Coast get- Pearce Hanley, Pick 67
Brisbane get- Pick 22, 30 and Ports 2017 1st round pick
Port get- Pick 19 and Pick 30

[RustyCage]

I don't really get this trade

[Dogwatcher]

I don't really get this trade

What does it put you in the frame for?
Who are you after?

Big 3-way trade breaking now!
Gold Coast get- Pearce Hanley, Pick 67

Port get- Pick 19 and Pick 30

Brisbane and Port timesharing pick 30?

[Booney]

We now get 3 picks in the top 30 of this draft, pick 30 is the second rounder we gave Gold Coast for Dixon in '15.

I'm ok with this, we need picks in the draft this year and with none of our fringe players attractive to other clubs we had to trade to get picks high in the draft.

But you give up a potential top 10 pick from next year.
