Preliminary Final - Port v South @ Adelaide Oval (Sun 14/9)

[Douglas Mawson]

And the old line........

Q: What's the difference between a woolies trolley and an SANFL League Director?

A: You can fit more food and booze in a League Director.

[LPH]

Go Panthers - huge game for the Club.
"There Are No Limits"
Would love to see them in the GF - Integrity.

Gotch coach of the year?

[LPH]

Fair point. I'll be there hoping that the plane from Perth to Melbourne to Adelaide is delayed by a few hours

6 league directors have just voted to charter a plane direct from Perth to Adelaide at a time most convenient for the players and coach.

Who pays for this Chartered Flight?
I trust the Club involved will be sent the bill - yeah, right.

[johntheclaret]

Thanks for the suggestions lads, I'll pass it back to the relevant people....

If that Port squad is indeed accurate then unfortunately they go all the way imho

[footywise]

We all thought they would win last week too, that list is over rated.

I don't think so, but hope you're right

Once Freo eliminate the Pahrrr how many of them are actually eligible?

" 6 league directors have just voted to charter a plane direct from Perth to Adelaide at a time most convenient for the players and coach. "

And the SANFL/ other 8 clubs picks up the bill as usual ? Make the pricks pay cash out of their own pocket.

[panthers 2008]

Ports team looks even stronger than last weekend!
We are going to have to play very very well to have a shot in this game!
I'm scared that either Norwood have prodded and poked a monster and were gonna cop it, or Port aren't that amazing? All will be revealed on Sunday, I just hope we can get through to the GF! Go Panthers!!!!

[footywise]

Where in the constitution does it say teams can charter flights at their discretion at the sanfl expense. This is a joke

[saintal]

I think smac was taking the p*ss about the charter flight.

Anyway, another unchanged side for South. Although we copped our fair share of injuries during the year, the past 5 or 6 weeks have seen a very stable lineup, coinciding with our best footy for the season.

Brooksby the most important man on the ground. South must win the clearances.

Potentially 19 professionals in the Power line-up. Would be nice to see Buddha and the travelling AFL emergencies get stranded in Melbourne.

It's all smoke & mirrors with named Pahhhhr reserves 21s at this time of year. 2 AFL listed players will miss from that 23. Which two and in what circumstances (seeing they can't drop them) is the unknown. Most simply by having 2 emergencies from Perth not play.

It's not a disgrace mate, it's a wind up.
