Port Adelaide 2017

its a great lever for the government to get people to Tassie during the winter months and having been there recently, you really only want to be there when the weather is good.

I prefer going to Tassie in the colder months, I love the snow and the cosy pubs, trout fishing in Cradle Mountain.

Very picturesque in the winter.

Get Collingwood involved at your peril...it will be their event

Between Collingwood and Port supporters how many will actually be at the game. China tends to not to let criminals in.

$43m is injected into the Tasmania economy from us playing 3 games in Hobart.

Oh dear, who comes up with this crap?

As long as it is the person that signs our $1.5m cheque each year all good

Exactly, looking at it though, let's say you get 10,000 people through the gates per game, if each spend $1400 there is your $43M, wow.

Chuck in airfares, some might stay a night or two or do some sightseeing and all of a sudden this little red car has shot a piston.

Yep, their figures are absolute rubbish. North have 6-7,000 members in Tassie so that would make up the bulk of the crowd along with locals who want to watch AFL. I'd doubt more than 500-1000 from Interstate attend each game.

GWS apparently want a 5 year commitment from Port but Collingwood and North also said to be in negotiations

Oh well, it will be Collingwood's now.

Wonderful, we can have another debate about which jumpers to wear!

Big man Lobbe pens contract extension to stay with Power until 2019


AN early Christmas present has been delivered to Port Adelaide supporters with news ruckman Matthew Lobbe has penned a new contract extension to keep him at Alberton.

This is a big Christmas gift too, with the contract extension over four years committing the Victorian to Port Adelaide until at least 2019.

With one season left on his existing contract, it means the Power’s true believers will need to get used to having the No. 23 jumper running around for a few more years to come.

PORT ADELAIDE and Adam Goodes's Indigenous Defence Consortium will work together to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned and operated businesses in tendering for defence and other related industry contracts and sub-contracts.

The memorandum will work to realise Port Adelaide and IDC’s shared ambition of developing a new generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and people with the skills and qualifications to benefit from the growth of defence and related industries.

Port Adelaide will pursue its share of the memorandum through its long-established community programs working with Aboriginal children in South Australian middle and senior schools, and its partnerships with the Australian Defence Forces.

Among commitments made in the memorandum, Port Adelaide will:

Assist in forming pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth towards careers in defence-related industries.
Develop pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses to engage and supply in the defence sector.
Seek out business and sponsorship opportunities to benefit Port Adelaide and the IDC.
Provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses to engage with industry leadership, educational institutions and state and federal governments.
The memorandum was signed at a function in Sydney today by Mr Goodes and Port Adelaide chief executive Keith Thomas.

“Port Adelaide is proud to sign this memorandum of understanding with the Indigenous Defence Consortium," Mr Thomas said.

“We already have achieved great success in helping Aboriginal school students transition into further education and employment opportunities – 59 of our Aboriginal Power Cup participants were placed into work or tertiary study opportunities in the last 12 months.

“With our positive relationship with the defence industry through our Power to Be Positive and Empowering Youth programs, we believe we will be able to work on successful outcomes for Aboriginal youth to find career pathways in this area.”

Goodes, an AFL premiership player and Brownlow Medallist with the Sydney Swans, said the memorandum will give the IDC a connection with SA via Port Adelaide.

“The partnership between IDC and Port Adelaide is ensuring the talents of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boys and girls are achieved on and off the sporting fields," Mr Goodes said.

“We at IDC want to create career paths for our future indigenous leaders with a particular focus on STEM [science, technology, engineering, maths] subjects.

“I’ve been very impressed with Port Adelaide’s Aboriginal programs and I’m really looking forward to seeing this partnership grow.”
