Suspension hangs over Richmond's Vickery after striking Dean Cox
Off-field the 2012 was not a “raging success,” well, only til October!
In 2012 one of their players died, I think that eliminates any “raging” of success.
Other than that blemish, well researched article.
Port Adelaide look a lot like 2008 Hawks
I guarantee you Adelaide Crows will play at home in round 1. I’m interested in why you wrote an article so early? We aren’t even in September yet.
My proposal for Round 1 of the 2015 AFL season
“They are still a young side and performing above most people’s expectations, so it’s hardly doom and gloom.” Too true! Well done.
What your club needs in 2015: Part 2
I think this article is harsh on Dockers.
Turbulent weekend shows Cats, Power and Dockers aren't grand final-bound
Paul Stewart is pretty tall so I’m not dissapointed, let’s hope it pulls off!
Is Port Adelaide’s issue a lack of height or experience?
Scratch what I said about the Fremantle game as they play on Sunday in round 22 but I still would prefer to see another game in the friday night slot but it seems inevitable.
How the final round of the 2014 AFL season should unfold
You clearly have no idea about our justice system, ever heard of “presumption of innocence”?
Go home BT, and take the boys club language with you
Hawthorn and Collingwood should definitely be ruled out for Friday night, have you seen the recent history between the two? “The match between Fremantle and Port Adelaide must be scheduled for the earliest possible timeslot on Saturday” Why not Friday night?
A bit harsh on the Suns, I’d swap their game with Geelong’s considering Brisbane won’t be playing finals and Geelong do not need to travel.
Other than that not bad.
How the final round of the 2014 AFL season should unfold
Radelaide, I agree with you on the Corey Enright comment. Also I think sometimes supporters can focus on his mistakes more than his positives in some games.
The media seems to like him for his flair which creates “entertainment value.”
The Jasper Pittard debate
Not sure about the Mark Williams comment but it sounds like something Jasper Pittard would do, which is a great attribute.
He started his AFL season well this year and I don’t mind the impact he can make as a sub but recently his performances have been going downhill… and quickly. I am expecting Logan to come into the side for him this afternoon for him otherwise I want to know what the coaches are thinking.
The Jasper Pittard debate
It’s interesting Kevin how you always seem to be commenting on what you think are my “poor” articles now rather than the ones you possibly like. It focuses on what the majority of Power fans believe.
I also looked at his positives which included looking at his most outstanding games.
And that play was looked at On The Couch where Kane Cornes stated Pittard gets stick for his decision making. However, that play was clever – shows Port are well drilled.
I don’t think the risk taking is an issue, it’s knowing when to take the risks and we all know what happens to teams who turn the ball over due to poor risk taking.
Also I never said Jasper should be dropped, I don’t think he needs to be. I even say he “most likely would dominate” in the SANFL. I also never said he was down on confidence.
The Jasper Pittard debate
Nando, I use the same app and I have Ablett with 26, miles ahead of anyone else. My predictions are also significantly different to those expressed in the article above.
2014 Brownlow: Ablett can still win
Axle, what proof do you have the AFL stop rewarding votes to ineligible players?
2014 Brownlow: Ablett can still win
What proof do you have Port didn’t “respect” Adelaide? Adelaide outplayed Port Adelaide in the second half, looked more of a hunger thing to me.
Port Adelaide face psychological test
Bit rich pulling out the “barely played” line and suggest Zac Smith as a 3rd tall. Hope you are not getting mistaken for the Talia at Bulldogs, I believe he means the one at Adelaide.
My mid-season All-Australian team
Thank you, LeCras is one of my favourite players to watch in the AFL.

Wingard himself; Second Showdown of last year. I did say “arguably.”

Kev, I wanted to make it a bit different, if I chose any song from any year their would not be any originality. I don’t even like some of the songs here but I wanted to challenge myself.

Hawks win completes Port's rise from the ashes
Port Adelaide has been hit by injuries just not a lot of their best, 4 players on the long term injury list.
Port Adelaide prevail over the Dockers
Dalhaus was in my rolling team for most of the year but I thought others earned a spot in the forward structure more than him.
