Before the game.

Talk on the national game

Before the game.

Postby Booney » Mon Apr 20, 2009 2:08 pm

I like Mark Williams as a coach, as a comic genuis I know his sense of humour if different but his performance on BTG Saturday night was painful, to say the least.

Mick Molloy and to a much,much lesser extent Dave Hughes and Lehmo are comedians but Chocco at times was just trying way,way too hard.

One comment he made about Roughhead ( I cant remember the exact wording ) was terrible. His comments to Sam Lane ( yummy ) distasteful and I for one hope he never appears on there again.

I almost think getting him on there after a win was the worst possible outcome as he would have been flying and not thought about his comments too much. After a loss he would have been a little harder to get comments out of and would have had less opportunities to look foolish.

(Wait 'til Wedgie reads this... ;) he loves Chocco )

Really Booney? I wouldn't like Choco as a spokesperson for my footy club but when he lightens up he's actually ok. To mix it with them you either take the straight line and get the urine taken out of you, or you give them something to work with. I thought he was ok and so did the wife who can't stand him!

I saw Choco on the show but didn't hear him speak as I was at the pub, find that strange that he was like that after speaking with a bloke I play footy with who used to work in Performance Analysis department at Alberton said he is totally the opposite to what you just described. Although he did add that he is an angry angry man in the coaches box on game day.

.... because we all know just how important it is to get THAT right :roll:

You know what amazes me? All the Port Adelaide people crapping on ... "Oooooh we're not Port Power, we're Port ADELAIDE Power"

The rest of us think, oh ... okay, who gives a stuff, but yeah ... we'll refrain from calling them PORT POWER, from now on it's PORT ADELAIDE ....

Then after they win, here comes the final verse of the club song .....
We've got the Power to win
Power to rule
Come on, Port Adelaide aggression
We are the Power from Port
It's more than a sport
It's true Port Adelaide tradition
We'll never stop, stop, stop
Til we're top, top, top
There's history here in the making
Port Power to win
We'll never give in
Til the flag is ours for the taking
PORT POWER!!!

What's that?????

PORT POWER!!!

That's what I thought they said.

They did say that several years ago.

But the club hasn't used 'Port Power' in donkey's.

Even in the club song...

See the Bombers fly up, up!

To win the premiership flag.

Our boys who play this grand old game,

Are always striving for glory and fame!

See the Bombers fly up, up,

The other teams they don't fear,

They all try their best,

But they can't get near,

As the Bombers fly up!


What about Essendon's song? are they now known as the Bombers?

Who knows. By the time the song ends I'm still busy pissing myself laughing over the PREEMIERSHIP FLAG.

Since 1997, Port have had twice as many clubs for a hell of a lot less singing. Now that's good work. 8)
