Eagles Inflicted the worst ever season start to the ethelton magpies, Port Adelaide football club, port Adelaide magpies football club or whatever entity tries to play "home" , matches at alberton, on record. Adding to the 7 in a row mid season loss record the Eagles inflicted on their club a few years back.
Leigh Treeby. Last quarter, special. Gun.
Kenny gave his opponent an ab-so-lute bath.
Broadbent was dominant, let’s hope choke-o choker does not ruin his game. Choke-o needs to stop loitering around our huddle at the 1/4 & 3/4 time breaks.
Premeirship livewire Westbrook, dangerous & has pace & goal sense, a welcome return to the club this year
Premiership CHF Adam Grocke was fierce at any contest, Despite passador's absence Clayton was all footsteps in three contests, and grocke was those footsteps, cleaning him up very nicely.
Premiership Captain Cicca Great long goal, fierce in one on one contests.
Number 5 thug for ethelton, you will get yours.
Matthew Jokan was just that, when confronted by a shot for goal in the last, passed it off 20 metres backwards in the old one two, received it straight back just joked it wide, ending any chance they had. His dummy spitting performance at his own ability was commendable, in front of the faithful.
No other mentions for the opposition with no success, just a new bunch of filfth plying cheap shot artists.
The best any local wag could come up with after the game was "AT LEAST WE MADE A GAME OF IT!!!!" Besides being SO way off the mark, warms the heart that they accept mediocrity down there this last decade. No flags for the last ten years is more his-tory in the making!!!
Ginever & Wallace on teleconference calls for most of this evening. Resign Now Ginever, although you are a supercoach with no commitment and yet to be given a decent opportunity.
I say sign him up for a three year deal.....quick
All in all a usual day at the stinking neutral ground that is alberton.
PS We all missed Clive Sh!thouse, the great claim to fame of being 3rd in fremantle's best & fairest one year, great recruit, beneath this team man to play reserves it seems.
GO YOU EAGS!!!
Pity you cant beat Port in something like an SANFL Grand Final, I recall being there in 1994, what happened on that occassion to the great amalgamated club?The coach of Port may not have won today, yet his efforts as Captain on that occassion certainley suggests that you have a long long way to go to even remotley even up the score!
1994 SANFL (South Australia National Football League) Grand Final saw the Port Adelaide Magpies defeat the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles by 37 points after being 35 points behind in the first quarter. The match was played on October 2, 1994 at Football Park in front of a crowd of 40,598[1].
Despite Port Adelaide's recent success, having won 4 premierships in the 6 years leading up to 1994, the Eagles were seen as the superior team coming in to the Grand Final. Port had lost several key players in recent years to the AFL and retirement, and the Eagles had thrashed Port just 2 weeks earlier in the 2nd Semi Final by 73 points.
Betting before the Grand Final saw Woodville-West Torrens as clear favourites with 1/3 odds and Port at 25/10 [1]. Port's odds could have been even higher if not for their outstanding record in Grand Finals, and their reputation for beating better teams.
When the Eagles led by 35 points in the first quarter, the game seemed headed toward an inevitable Eagles victory. Port then staged a miraculous 72-point turnaround.
You seem rather interested in what the Eagles have or haven't done, are you a closet fan? You were toying with the idea about merging last year, so maybe you are.
An interview with him in the Budget I can recall him saying he was in the 17s in 1996; but the part I can't recall is that he may have played a couple the year before.
