Port Magpies

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

I have ben reading this forum with interest. However I admit I am a Die Hard Bruce Webber hating One-Eyed Glenelg Supporter.

Bruce may have played a small part in 97/98 for your beloved Crows. Does that change how you feel about him?

The answer is no - this is an SANFL topic, and I was commenting from an SANFL fan's perspective on what is happening to the SA Magpies at present.

Can't fatham how Webber had any influence on the Crows performace in 97/98 as he didn't assist in the wealth, health or happiness of the Crows fans.
HOWEVER the entrance of Port Power (Webber's baby) into the AFL arena has definately EFFECTED PAM wealth, health and misery.

around 50 years is acceptable period for grudge to end

The day they get their first spoon is the day I will let it go

[mackdaddy]

you will be holding a grudge for a while to come then!

[Pseudo]

you will be holding a grudge for a while to come then!

Insofar as 12 months can be considered "a while"

[Booney]

A spoon may be on the horizon, but I'm more than happy to have a shot at a spoon compared to putting my Magpie merchandise in the bin for good.

[Punk Rooster]

Sure it is. I'm sure it is.

I thought the thread was off topic before..

Isn't God just another name for Russell Ebert to you Port blokes Booney?

Therefore if Jesus was just doing Russell's work/will

Ergo, Judas (Webber) was going against God's (Russell's) will

There thread back on track...

Blasphemy!
Robran is God.

My point is where has the massive leg-up Port got with the transfer fees gone?

In 1997 the Magpies were in a poisiton to set them up for the future to dominate this competition with the $$$$ they had. Five years later they were rattling the cans.

Why should mediocre adminstration get rewarded?

Yes Port were in a position based on their results up to 1996 to get more players signed by the Power that I'm not fussed about as a SANFL fan, it is where the money has gone.

That "massive leg up" was eaten into straight away in having to build new facilities at Ethelton. Not to mention the lack of ongoing revenue from the Port Club, existing sponsors etc.

I'll concede one point though. The continual appearances in Grand Finals probably masked a lot of developing deficiencies which the administration were too slow to act upon.

But don't we all love 20/20 hindsight.

Not sure if this has been mentioned and cant be bothered searching, but was told last night that the maggies reserves coach could be Darren Mead. He is currently deciding between the Bays ressies and Ports ressies.

[NO-MERCY]

I'm not sure how true this rumour is but Mead was given the job & then apparently threw it in for the Glenelg reserves job.

[Barto]

I can tell you that Meiklejohn will not be playing for Port next year.

Probably wanted more than a one year job.

Old news that one.

[Barto]

True. I'm more interested in how the contract issue is being sorted.

There must be a way out somewhere because he was on the training track at another club last night.

So Kurtze will start next year as he finished it in the 2s, Barto???

Nup, just wondering if the other club Micklejohn was training at could have a negative impact on Kurtze ability to play 1s next year.

Pure speculation on my part, have Sturt started pre-season training yet??

Like the majority of clubs, I believe so.
