  • Co-captain (Wines) management reportedly asked Carlton to trade for him Ollie Wants Out?
  • Acting captain (Dougal Howard) shocked to be told to look for options having two years left on his contract.
  • Fantasia was reportedly there and at the last minute stays with Essendon.
  • It sounds like Robbie Gray is gettable next year.

Crows are getting the limelight so Port are going under the radar.   All doesn't look right at Port. 

Other than last year's draftees I doubt there are many players worth targetting.

    We have 2 close mates from SA. I wonder if they could be offered together to go home to Port, for Howard, who at 199 cms could help cover the loss of Frost and also the shortage of key forwards.

    The coach is well loved by the players from what i have been told by a players mother who does my roster at work.

    Sam Gray is one of the players being mentioned as available for trade, but he has said he doesnt want to leave the club. If for some reason there are multiple players being shopped around, its because PAFC have decided on a mini-rebuild, not because the players want to leave en mass.

    Having said that if we could get Wines for next years first rounder, i would do it immediately.

    P.S. They still talk about how good Burgess was in his time at PAFC... We scored BIG time when we signed him.

    It's Jack Watts fault. Everything was fine before he joined them.

    Robbie Gray would be just about the perfect small/mid forward for us over the next couple of years. I would have loved for us to have a crack at him. Even next year as a FA, even though he will be a year older.

    Well, they're based in Adelaide. That's a start.

    Port Adelaide’s new logo under fire after designer claims club ripped off his work

     

    One tactic to combat internal division is to unite the troops behind you by having an external enemy.  But this logo thing is not the answer though.

    What Port really need to do is stick it up Eddy and tell the AFL that they are ditching the teal and will be wearing their prison bars black and white only strip for all home and away games from now on.

    They have played finals once in the past 5 seasons and haven't win a final since 2014. It's similar to what Melbourne and Carlton faced before/during long stints in the wilderness. Players get cold feet after being starved of success.

    Another middling season of going nowhere will likely force some good players out next trade period. Seems as though a full rebuild is on the cards.

    PAFC are 15 million in debt, they were never going to ask permission.

    Would have cost them less to pay that designer for his 1 hour of work as opposed to spending 2 years "developing" their ripoff concept that they may get sued for...

    They ripped it off no doubt, going to be tough getting anything from it, they have changed a few things to guard against being sued IMO.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
