A bit cranky this morning 'Franky'.... His turning circle is ok for a big man, he's pretty good below his knees and he won't need to do a whole lot of ruck work. He is a work in progress and progressing quite well I would think. Not a million miles off but still some work to do.

Back in the good old days we used to use the umpire as a shield to break a tag. When the ump bounces the ball and moves back there is a space between him and the ball, the plan was for the ruck to tap to a mid moving through that space. All those who used to complain about Jamar tapping short, well this was a similar tactic they were trying to pull off. Notice I said trying, not necessarily working and of course the opposition would be trying something similar.

It was more the interrupted seasons rather than pre seasons that cost us with these 2 'binman'... Both were pretty good when they got on the ground. Viney only played 7 home & away games. So long as we don't miss key players again this year I'm not as fussed as some with preseason. Apart from Hannan it doesn't seem like anyone else has been off legs...

Why annoyed 'Dr'? I could understand concerned but it's not like the club or players are responsible. Or, is that how you see it? Who are you annoyed with?

Instead you get rolling speculation. I can't see an upside in this at all. It was ok for Carlton as it gave them a quick get out with Bolton if they realised he couldn't really coach.

Bin used before 'bin', but what the hell why not again...

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...
