Triumph Of The Will We haven't seen it but it's about a group of people coming together and doing great things.

At least he's outperforming Scott Camporeale (1 win).

Another 6 coaches votes on Thursday night. Up to 15th on the leaderboard. Only 2 votes behind Butters which indicates that he's probably the front runner or very close to the front runner for our B&F. Having a great season.

Nah. The whole prestige of the Brownlow is in its quaint tradition. Leaving that as is makes perfect sense. Actually the thing that annoys me the most on that note is how the AFL now just manufacture a way to get a player off a suspension if they are in Brownlow contention (see Cripps in 2022)...

Since he lost us the 2020 prelim. Sorry, that's too harsh. In all seriousness, I think everyone can see that he's a highly skilled player but his toughness has been questioned for at least a few years now. At times his defending can be really quite comical, literally looks like he isn't even...

Great players who are unable to go to the next level of out and out champion players (ie top 10 in the comp, players who stand up and win finals and premierships for their teams, etc). I think JHF will get to that level though.

It's an absolutely laughable notion that the players would be too upset after losing to give a minute or two to a kid. This is a generation of players (not just at Port) who come across as entitled and out of touch with reality (see reaction to covid hubs) and who fiercely advocate for...

The fact that Rozee and Butters seem to be going the same way as Boak and Wines is pretty much proof it's the coaching/culture not the individuals.

This is a bit elitist and will actually result in significantly less revenue for all clubs. I for one wouldn't buy an interstate membership if the club didn't count me as a member (it's literally the only reason I get it, to say I'm a member). And the upshot is what exactly? A few people getting...

I don't know who is dumber - Marshall for not taking the $1m a year or Port for paying him $800k to stay.

I mean, it's true. You only have a 1 in 18 chance of winning a grand final, soon to be 1 in 20. The chances of a middling 'interstate' club that doesn't even really aspire to winning the thing ever saluting seems pretty small.

Reckon our 13 year winning streak against the SUNS is about to come to an end. For the first time ever they look tough to beat up there.

Yeah, how easy would it have been to simply apologise and invite her down to the club during the week to get a few photos and a signed footy or whatever. A decent CEO would call this individual into his office and put him on notice for this sort of arrogance and contemptuous behaviour. Our CEO...

Has there ever been a player with more excuses made for them, it's astounding.

And this is what people don't understand about Warren's current demeanour. It's vital that he plays a straight bat at this point. He needs to win the trust of people at the club, he needs to show them that he's there for the right reasons (ie wanting to help the club be successful). By doing...

Sounds like a special kind of hell. They should do a membership that excludes Showdowns, it would sell like hotcakes. Actually even better would be a day game only membership. See all of the wins and none of the losses!

Ah yes, the 2 covid seasons that disadvantaged the Victorian teams and yet were the only 2 seasons in the past 12 years to produce all Victorian grand finals.

Which would be fair if there was anyone worth giving an opportunity to in his position who isn't currently getting a game. There isn't.

AFL furiously trying to figure out how to let Harley Reid off. Will Schofield kicking off proceedings by declaring it wasn't two actions, as if that is the only thing that defines a dangerous tackle.

Being a line coach and a senior coach are two totally different roles with totally different skill sets required.

This is unfair. Hinkley has called time on Cucksissy, Schulz, Westhoff, Jonas just off the top of my head. Dixon is a debatable selection given he's 1 of 5 average key forwards on our list all competing for the same spots. Boak is clearly still best 23, it's impossible to argue otherwise.

Being our best key forward is no compliment when the competition has been Marshall and an injured Georgiades. Georgiades is starting to get going again which is great. Even better would be Lord coming on as his development is the real key to our future forward line.

Yep. Instead they'll close ranks and reassure themselves that the people outside the four walls just don't understand, don't realise how connected we are, don't realise that we're on a journey, etc.

Marshall isn't really a key forward in any way other than height. He's got no presence. He's basically a tall version of Bayley Fritsch except nowhere near as good.

At the very least he should've been done at the end of 2022. After barely making it through a 5 year stretch which yielded one solitary final (an embarrassing home elimination final defeat), he managed to get his team to back to back home preliminary finals - the first lost in somewhat...

It's pretty obvious that his point is that other teams can lose talent but their system and coaching covers for that whereas we get by on talent alone so when that diminishes we're done. The idea that other teams have this mythical depth that we don't have is just nonsense. Every team...

Let's face it, Marshall isn't good enough to be 'the guy'. He doesn't compete strongly enough in a position where you absolutely must compete strongly. He's a good size and has nice skills but that's where it starts and ends. He would be an effective third tall forward in a functioning forward...

6 foot is short for an AFL player so he looks dwarfish out there, if you saw him on the street he'd look much bigger.

The 'stars' are umpired differently. The way Harley Reid gets umpired is close to comical. And to be fair, after a difficult start, JHF is now starting to get a ride most weeks.

Oh the stats absolutely back it up - we've won 41 of 59 games he's played for us.
