REVIEWING the 2018 AFL season, we take a look back at the Tweets that sparked the most interest this season.
#10: Dixon injury
It was heart-breaking news to the Port Adelaide faithful when Dixon went down with a broken ankle in our Round 21 clash against West Coast, so much so it made it into our top 10 tweets of the year.
KH: Dicko has a sprained, possibly broken ankle. He won't play again this year #PAFCLive

#8: The tough decision between an offer and ….nothing
The Front Bar helped clear up the air with Marty Mattner’s tough ‘choice’ of taking up a coaching gig with us or the Crows.

#7: Showdown XLV
A controversial score review decision dived the state in Showdown XLV which resulted in the Crows winning the game. Everyone had their own views about the situation including Ken Hinkley in his post-match conference;
KH: there’s no point (seeking an apology for the score review) because there’s no consequence. They’ll admit it was wrong but it doesn’t achieve anything. It was a monumental failure #PAFCLive

#6: Showdown XLIV win
The first Showdown of the year had a much happier ending, with Motlop’s goal in the dying seconds to win the game got all Port Adelaide people very excited.
IT'S OVER!!!
