The real reason that Chad Cornes can't get a game at the Power is that if he plays one or two more games this season he is entitled to an extra 70k at the end of this season. The club cannot afford that sort of payout and are sweating each week that Jay Schulz is not available.
The rest of the squad know exactly what is going on and are playing with a doubt 'will we get paid ourselves?'  GWS are rumoured to have promised to have put up the 70k shortfall for Cornes if he signs with them next year and the playing group know it.

Port to fold and GWS to recruit Port's list and become Greater Western Port Adelaide based in Sydney  :o

Pt wont fold they would be shipped off to Van Diemens Land worst case scenario...

KG was waffling about knowing something today on DSL but wouldnt reveal sources or reasons...

Chad didnt play SANFL either fueling speculation he is done :-X

Would be terrible to see a great club like Port get shipped off. They should go back to the SANFL.

their still there... not that its noticeable got belted by 100 pts this weekend...

Tassie r crying out for a team and should Pt fail in SA thats where they will be pushed too...

i think they r gonna be ok now tho with the Oval deal, if they can remarket their brand and address the culture they will be up and about ;)

Ah OK ;)
I didn't realise :P

In that case they would be much better of financially in Tassie. You know they'd get 4 times the crowd they get in Adelaide (10k at a home game is just shower) and it would just be better overall.
Sadly it would seem the AFL are more interested in overtaking the nation instead of helping existing clubs and providing a reward for a state which has been a footy state for some time.

Even though I was born in Victoria and still live here I have been wanting to see a 3rd SA or WA team for a while now - With Port Adelaide like this it'll never happen.

So Q you would prefer another team from SA or WA before a team from Tassie?

No. Tassie first. 20 team comp. The normal 16 + GC + GWS + Tassie + Another SA/WA team.
