I really hopes he makes it, but I doubt very much that he will.

Another contract, a new environment...at least when he walks away he will know that he did everything he could.

 

Really glad he got another chance because he's a ripping bloke but i think also a smart pick up from Port. 

Worst case scenario they get a great clubman and very strong SANFL performer creating pressure for spots, developing young players and providing leadership. and they're paying him peanuts to do it.

Gee, I hope he does make it again. Hopes with him for accepting the challenge, rather than playing "What if ??"

Long term this is Port's gain because they get a quality person.

Good Luck <JT

 

Him and Toumpas will add some pace to the Port Flanks.

Watts should provide the toughness at the contest.


Good luck to JT with his new club.  Port obviously think they are in the Premiership window, by recruiting all manner of discards from other clubs in exactly the same way North did a couple of years back.

Trouble for North was that it got them up and going while those older talented bodies could stay on the field ( remember their 9 wins in a row in 2016), then completely fell apart at the business end of the season.  Then all those older players became list cloggers at the same time as their original senior players retired.  Result: down the bottom of the ladder in 2017 and likely to stay there for a long, long time.

It's a calculated gamble.  If it works great, but it is all or nothing. 

Great to see Port trying to win the 2018 AFL premiership by recruiting ex Melbourne players. But someone needs to tell them the the 2018 premiership will be going to the Melbourne Football Club.

GO THE DEES!

Biff I was reading your life story and noticed your fondness for Brazilians, I thought you were probably referring to a churrasco, but I thought Biff, BBQ or bare?

Is it wrong that I'm hoping to see them take the flag next year?  Assuming that we don't of course. 

Yes in that you didn't place the conditional clause first. No in that every club will be fighting for and driving up the price of our discards the following year. Perhaps that's why we kept JKH, Kent and McKenna around for 2018.

We couldn't even roll 1/2 a Collingwood side in the last round, with finals on the line.

Not that. The Goodwin bit.

Expectation is up yes. There will need to be significant regression for his job to be on the line.

Yep. That’s how i see it Red. 

They have recruited a bunch of flawed players, who should have been stars.

Friend of mine thinks with the addition of these discards, they are going to have one Hell of a SANFL side.

That’s handy for them. 

I know that my Port supporting mates get right behind the Magpies when the AFL side is traveling poorly.

Get real? 

We have the worst disposal in the league.

We have no forward structure.

Our greatest strength is a brigade of tough nut midfielders who can't kick.

We have never seen any evidence that our talls are able to work with each other instead of getting in each others' way.

The team still falls asleep for large portions of games. 

Realistically, I think we're a damn good chance to go backwards next year.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
