I cant say much but go you pies. Was the sweetest game i have seen them play not bad for the youngest team in the top 5 yes we are younger than the crows.

[rad100]

if port adelaide thought they had a bad year, looks like it may get worse.

shaun bourgoyne could be out!

[Luciano]

true Age, him going would be a great loss. Even though he didn't see much of the 2009 season on field for port, he's still one of the best players in the game

[TALBO]

My understanding is that he is gone

[PREISS]

The medias word is that hes gone.

Ports staff have said he isnt completely gone. Still in the mix.

Real good player, really dissapointed if he does leave. going gets alittle tough he leaves it seems. I dont know all the details tho

[SLED]

I love the guy and don't want him gone but I've heard that if a deal isn't struck with the Hawks and anyone gets in his way, he'll happily go into the draught which would result in the Dees picking him up.......only prob there is that they wouldn't be able to afford him.

If we lose him in the same way we lost Nick Stevens (who went on to get 3 wooden spoons and is now a "has been") and get nothing for him, I'll be the one in the front row of AAMI next season flaming him!

When he 1st came to our club he lived in his brother's shadow.....remember?

Brendan Lade made him the brilliant player he is today!!

sounds to me like he might be chasing a Premiership

i mean, i know Hawthorn didnt make the finals, but they have the potential to win another flag.

[SLED]

Prolly right Damo......following in Stuart Dew's footsteps.........at least he wasn't a traitor like Stevens.

[PREISS]

sounds to me like the going got to tough. Might be upset about his brother leaving "? being told to retire ?

Honestly. If this is the reason I really think its kinda weak. If he leaves a team for any of the above reasons he isnt a true team player.

I very much doubt the chasing a premiership theory. If this were the case half the AFLs bottom sides would be changing teams each year.

Soooooooooooooo

Bigger weekend this weekend....Saints to knock off the bulldogs and geelong to beat collingwood?? Why do i have this strange and weird feeling that collingwoods going to knock off geelong....Hrmmmm

[Damo_R34]

Shane i feel exactly the same, I think St Kilda will do it comfortably over the Bullies, but Collingwood might just pull off a win

[Damo_R34]

here are a few big names who could be/are looking for a new club:

Shaun Burgoyne, Matthew Lloyd, Shane Tuck, Nathan Brown, Mark Coughlan, Josh Gibson, Andrew Lovett, Barry Hall, Brian Lake and Mark Seaby.

some huge names! you could make half a new team with them. hmm, Gold Coast ?

[SLED]

We'll take the sniper and big bad thanks

[TALBO]

I think I'm going to be a Cats supporter for the next week

[Dohmar]

Agreed - Never much liked the saints (never disliked them either) but I owe Geelong my thanks for taking collingwood out of the running.

thank allah for that
