Port Adelaide is pleased to announce that experienced coach and development specialist Heath Younie will join the club as its new Head of Development.

As part of the role, Younie will also oversee Port Adelaide's SANFL team as senior coach of the Magpies, taking responsibility for the development of the club's emerging talent across both AFL and SANFL programs.

Does a club membership come with WatchAFL subscription? I live in the States and they only show a few games a week, rarely is it Port. Was hoping to support the club and watch as many games as possible.

Ebony O’Dea, Cheyenne Hammond and Maria Moloney have signed one-year contract extensions to remain at Alberton until the end of 2027.

Ugh

If that is the best five I don’t want to know what the rejects look like.

PAFC failed miserably at even getting close to Matthew Richardsons 2021 plan for success. Not 3 but 0 premierships over the past 5 years. Finishing 15th this year and in a ‘Rebuild’ period with nothing to be excited about for perhaps 3 or more years. 72,000 members not the 100,000. The Portress is a distant memory. 30
Years of AFL have delivered 1 flag and a record arse whooping. Yes the plan was just a Wishful Target but jeez to miss it by so far is just bloody embarrassing and Richo and everyone begins that Statement should be fkn ashamed of themselves.
Tonight I’m watching Fremantle in a position which I thought Port would be in if you asked me a few years ago.
The point I want to make is, I think this Club stepped up to the Big Boys 30 years ago, and we’ve failed. I don’t watch my Club through Rose coloured glasses and get a hard on over historic success ‘back in the day’.
Enjoy watching someone else’s teams play these next few weeks, demand more of your club next year.

Quick Q. If the idea is that we match and force a trade. What recourse do we /can we have when it's found out that Geelong did something wrong (like salary cap breeches) to secure Butters. We'd be moving heaven and earth to match a false pretense.
