Player Watch Ivan Soldo

[Ford Fairlane]

You can't talk openly about Soldo's girlfriend without being actively censored by moderators.

I assume it is a directive from the club because a few dumb blonde jokes is pretty tame compared to what is allowed on other parts of Port Adelaide Big Footy.

Port Adelaide do not dictate what is said on these boards. If that was the case the Ken Hinkley thread would have been shut down years ago and most people on here banned.

The comments about Chelsea are moderated because they are on the whole personal, insulting, demeaning, irrelevant and cruel. One stands and half a dozen land within moments.

The photos are removed because if they don't contravene Bigfooty rules they inspire commentary worthy of a 13 year old boy with his first copy of a lad's magazine. It's like some people here have never seen boobs before.

If people don't like the way she looks or lives her life, too bad, PM each other your outrage. This is a thread about Ivan Soldo not Chelsea.

People want to talk about facts that relate to his football, like she's moved to Dubai or they've bought a house together here fine, not a problem. People want to start personal commentary about someone they have never met, then no, forget it.

Fair call, but I wonder how many here have met Ken

True, but what is Chelsea's role at Port? Not a $900k a year, 12 year, no premiership coach.

Yeah, I know, and, let’s face it, where would the Port board be without the Sack Hinkley threads.

To be fair I would take her over Ken at this stage as coach

Imagine the social media content

Imagine the “Sack Chelsea” thread!

Feels like there is a lot of conjecture in this thread.

All I see is a guy who left a club in his hometown and where he was a premiership player looking for an opportunity to be a starting ruck rather than reserve ruck, ended up being reserve ruck anyway, had a look around for better opportunities, none presented, so he's staying put and getting on with it.

To my knowledge there's no issues with him from the club's end and he has acted totally professionally in the aftermath of the trade request falling through. Feels like people are a little bit preoccupied by the girlfriend angle but I don't think it's got much relevance beyond being good tabloid material.

It is 100% because his girlfriend is hot, so according to certain members of this board she must be super high maintenance, so he must be whipped, and therefore he can't be a real serious footballer because he does everything based on the whims of this high maintenance girlfriend that people have concocted in their heads.

How he's behaved is exactly how everyone in his situation would behave, regardless of how hot or high maintenance their partner was. He's been a model professional about it the entire time. If his girlfriend was such a negative influence desperate to be in Melbourne and he was beholden to that, he would never have moved here in the first place.

Some of the usual suspects in this thread should reflect on their posting in this thread and be embarrassed, but of course, they won't.

I dont know whats worse. Chucking the toys out the cot of one year of hardship because his knee exploded and his competitor crushed him, or uis girlfriend wanting to go back to Melbourne.

I feel like Ivan is the diva here, not that I think his missus has any brain cells either.

Come ooonnnnnn man.

He moved interstate for opportunity, that opportunity didn't eventuate the way we hoped, he asked for a trade which the club was happy to facilitate, it didn't eventuate, and he's now back in training without a skerrick of anything approaching diva behaviour at any point during the entire process.

People move cities for job opportunity and then move home when the opportunity doesn't work out in every industry.

You have a pathological hatred of any woman who takes pride in their appearance and has a social media presence and it makes you post the most unhinged catty bitch shit sometimes.

But Sam Edmunds said "I don't know Ivan at all, but I reckon he immediately regretted the making the move to Adelaide"...

 

[Willsy10]

Time to move on, he remains a Port player and a fit and healthy Soldo putting pressure on Sweet for the number one ruck gig is good for us.

Soldo can play but it's more about whether his body can hold up or not. If he is fit i think it's going to be a close call, he was pretty handy at the start of 2024.

Cutting through all the white noise, I would rather him up forward than Rata

Chelsea has won as many AFL flags as Ken.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Chelsea has won as many AFL flags as Ken.

From far less attempts.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Chelsea has won as many AFL flags as Ken.

She has probably worn more premiership medals around her neck.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

The girlfriend angle is always relevant!

I don't think it's a wild speculation to believe that a woman with her err... profile would rather live in Melbourne (or GC) than Adelaide.

Why didn't Dubai work out for her?

 

[Steve Dore]

Being an air hostess wasn't the glamour job she imagined it would be.

Not me which is lucky... I don't want to get put up for assualt.
