Surprised they haven't already tried it.

There's a few reasons Port hit the 60,000 members mark this year and it isn't just "match day experience" or the prospect of the team going well, the media and membership department are hitting the right buttons for lots of people, obviously.

If you guys were hitting the right buttons 5 years ago when you were struggling i bet you wouldn't of hit 60k. Of course winning makes a difference. I don't remember Hawthorn getting big crowds when they were struggling.

While it's widely accepted that I defend Port Adelaide as much and often as possible, I'll stand up for the club here. Port have, for some time, led the way with giving access to members via PTV ( Port TV ) on the website and if the documentary was planned over the summer to watch a premiership unfold ( as you guys seem to think it was ) why would we go through the production of it and release it to the public after the year we had finishing 9th?
I think the fact the club chose to go through with it shows it was going to go to air regardless.

6-Butcher

Melbourne took Scully, Trengove, Gysberts and Tapscott! Shows that finding a gem can make so much difference
the whole top 20 from that year looks very average besides Martin, Talia and probably SheppardCapture.JPG

Correct. We wouldn't want to lose him and I'd think a club would need to be very keen to get him from us.
We have Ryder and Lobbe on our list capable of rucking solo at AFL level. Redden is gone, Frampton isn't ready and the likes of Westhoff, Trengove and if we get Dixon are only part timers at best.
Lobbe is in the leadership group and is 1 year into a 4 year deal. Any club wanting him would have to pay overs right now, if we thought of moving him on and I can't see that happening with Ryder / WADA still on going.

Plus with the lower interchange rotations next year 2 genuine ruckmen will more than likely play each week
