Bomber or Porky's lad?

Gates has left Port Magpies again & apparently playing the remainder of the year with Port Districts.
No surprise really.

how much influence do you think he'll have? i have never seen him play. do you think he'll add more run through the midfield?

Why no surprise?

Why no surprise?

Is this confirmed? I think Districts have increased their weekly player spend for the 2nd half of the year, i know they have spoken to some other Port players and offered to bump up their match payments if they commit fully to Districts.

Yes would be great for Districts, but doesnt say much about the character of the guy to quit Port Adelaide for a second time...

My understanding is that it's family related and can't commit to the extensive training of SANFL footy.
What does that say about your character, having a go at bloke for putting his family in front of football

Its no surprise considering the club is struggling big time, as stated above, $$money$$ plays a big part.
I'm not sure whether $$$$ is gonna help them play finals though, i'm not even sure it will stop there slide to Div3.
Well we can only hope they continue to struggle!

i wouldn't think there is too much wrong at all with a bloke switching between giving league footy a crack again, and going back to the club he has played at for quite a few years now. i know of many guys that have had at least 2 or 3 cracks at league clubs and left for various reasons.
give him some credit. at least he's not selling himself to other clubs on other leagues.
good on him i say.

Which team will join Athelstone in Div 3 next season

[lutz]

I couldn't see it being any team other than Modbury or PNU....neither have impressed me. Hard to say which one itll be though, youd have to say PNU as Modbury have 2 points on them already

[piccachu]

heard a rumour you are no longer happy at your home Lutz and possibly looking at alternative options to finish the season with, any truth behind that

[t170]

After seeing a bunch of matches and all teams, for mine it would have to be the two most undiciplined sides - Athelstone and Modbury.

[Snake_Eyes]

here is a story i heard from in the D2R game Modbury vs PDFC

A PDFC player hip and shouldered a modbury player (was a good fair hit) an umpire (port districts supplied umpire) was 5 metres away, the other umpire (modbury umpire) was 60 metres away and called the free kick. As expected, a few disgruntled players and supporters voiced thier opinion, as the modbury umpire went back to his position, the PDFC captain was down that end and politely questioned the call, the umpire replied with "Mate, worry about getting a kick, your mum has had more kicks then you!" The PDFC captain pointed to a part of the oval and said "She is sitting over there, why dont you ask her how many kicks she has had!"

From all reports, the modbury umpire was fairly unprofessional and it showed with some of the decisions he made and let go. Had to mention that call though, never thought i would hear an umpire say that....

I've been told twice this year to get a kick from the ump after disputing them, nothing new there Snake especially in the club umpire supplied grades. Athelstone and Payneham were the games, in one of the games the ump was spot on I couldn't get near it but in the other well...

A Couple of big games involving teams between 3 & 6 on the ladder this week. Could Walkervile sneak into the 5?
