Let me bag him a bit now... Kingy was late to the party with Oliver, it took him until last season to get it and then he really got on the bandwagon. Don't mind Kingy but I think he likes to make the big statement a lot...the law of averages says he will get one right every now and then. As for this subject, all 3 are great players. Happy to have Oliver and unlike Kingy I like others on here could see it from his first game. With 2 good shoulders the sky's the limit.

Tommy's next...

Not disrespecting them...but an ageing list. I think the window has closed for them. Predicting this will be Kenny's last year at Port.

I'd rather forget the other stuff... Clayton's debut, wow....I knew we had a star on our hands. After all the dark days of drafts gone past we got this one right, it was obvious in that first game.

I wouldn't be surprised if both pulled out. TMac - Toe May - Hamstring tightness Well, I guess I can live in hope.

Give it a break mate...yep, Lewis is not my favourite player either but he did more last season than Jack did at Port. ...by the way I would rather have had Jack's replacement (Fritsch) out there than both of them.

Looks like Steve & Dill have been busy today hitting the like button. There is no way they get 3,000plus legitimate likes... Looking at the AFL Facebook post last night it was hard to find a positive comment (I think I found one) on AFLX most far from complimentary.

Go for your life, but it doesn't address the issue at hand and I don't see where I've bemoaned Burgo's being gone either. The spin is you are picking and choosing bits & pieces of posters and making up the mythical poster. A lot on here would like to see a bit more from the club. Is there really anything wrong with that?

A nice bit of "spin" here yourself 'Sat'...

Agree, the team & admin are ticking along nicely & that's of primary importance. It's just that the online fan engagement isn't, it's an area where we are sadly lacking. Without Demonland & posters like yourself we would have very little information about training & the players.

We get 3 or 4 pix from a session and the odd minute or so of video... Thank goodness for the likes of 'Six6Six'...

No coach should get 5 years... 3 is the standard and I expect that's what it will be.

I think they've still got a long way to go 'Demonland'... They might have stepped up a bit in 2019 but it's from a very low base. It's not that hard...

Don't tell me Scott Cam and the Block are going to be doing a "reality" show there.

Seems it comes from an older English Football chant...that makes sense, some of our crew (80's/90's) where big soccer fans and probably picked it up from there. Well, I think we can say it's not a piece of American culture anyway. Any of our English friends able to fill us in... '@Satyriconhome' maybe???

Yep, give me a good old fashioned rumour any day 'hemingway'...

I would think it more likely they would be at their peak come finals time... There certainly doesn't seem to be any compromise on fitness, all are up and doing some serious running.

Is it a piece of American culture? Whatever it is, I know it's nothing new. We were doing the same chant (name of club different of course) about 20/30 years back... If it's being imported, it was imported long ago.

Yep...

Yep... ...not sure it will ever be cleaned up 'Macca'. Is the will there to do it? Seems they just skim the surface every now and then, make an example of someone then everything goes back to the status quo. Unfortunately gambling/money lends itself to let's just call them dubious activities and that's not restricted to racing. A lot of cleaning to be done.

Depends what you call success 'Engorged'... I would think playing at AFL level and earning the money they earn qualifies as being a success. You can't guarantee a flag but it's not a bad career, a career that is many a kids dream. If you have to make some sacrifices along the way to prolong it, well that would seem a no brainer to me...

Now the tennis is finally over and we are starting to move into football mode I'm sure the good news will start to be released shortly. Got to get the most mileage from these announcements.

I'm thinking it will be more a blanket clause in all AFL contracts and I'm sure they will itemise the dangerous activities. ...by the way the danger in riding a motorcycle is not necessarily the rider...it's the clowns on the road in general. Personally I won't even ride a push bike on the road anymore.

I don't think we were complacent in 2014...just not very good. Neither were the Saints but they did have Nick Reiwoldt. He & Etihad were the difference. If we lose to Port complacency will have nothing to do with it....

One thing I can guarantee 'Macca' is that KB is absolutely going to lose it over this rule change. He was a big fan of the previous rule and I think it was under his reign that it was brought in... It's one thing I agree with him on.
