The ladder may have changed a lot this season, but, one thing has remained a talking point all through the year: Travis Cloke. Recently,…
The recent saga at Port Adelaide, which culminated in the sacking of club legend Matthew Primus, has led to an important question for me…
Has Fremantle hit form at the right moment? Has the Ross Lyon gamble paid off? The Dockers are currently sitting in ninth on the…
Cloke is to hot and cold. Any club that takes him is runnig a huge risk. Especially if they heavily rely on him.
Is Cloke really worth the money?
Good comment Floyd.
One of the reasons that the talent in the clubs drop off so fast is the draft. GWS and Gold Coast will be unstoppable in a few years especially with all the money that the AFL is injecting into the two clubs.
The draw doesnt help struggling clubs either. The big clubs like collingwood and Carlton get to play most of there games in Melbourne to bring in money to the AFL.
When will Port make it back to the top?
The Dons are most likely to lose against the Roos, so the Dockers should slip in there and proabaly stay there for the week. A win away from Perth is a pretty hard task to accomplish.
The Dockers have a good run into the finals to build some confidence, momentum and experience. If they do make finals, they should make it past the first round.
Has Fremantle finally hit a purple patch?
I’m not saying that those players aren’t good, they are but Martin has had some trouble off the field and Cotchin is still yet to find consistency every week in my eyes. Trent Cotchin will be a great player but still has some more growing as a player.

I meant it as in, Richmond are from Melbourne. I agree with your description of Port Adelaide and I also love your idea of the nominated player. Personally I do not like the AFL draft system and the priority pick. GWS and GCS should not to be abled to take all the best young players and leave the talent pool for struggling clubs like Melbourne, Port, etc.

Unfortunately, I think you’re wrong OJG. As much as I would like to agree with you, I can’t. I believe NSW and QLD are still the teams to beat. Both teams have a promising future stars such as Neville and Khawaja now for the Bulls. As I said before, I hope I’m horribely wrong. 🙂
What's wrong with the Redbacks?
As much as Matthew Primus’ sacking was unjustified, I believe it is the right step towards a ,hopefully, very succesful future for the club. Hopefully Port Adelaide can enjoy success like they did in the early 2000’s.
Port Adelaide needs to start from scratch
Brendon Goddard was meant to be slected by Carlton in the draft but, St Kilda got the priority pick and selected him. The issue about Dunn is a simple mistake. Sorry
But really, where to now for Travis Cloke?
