Coached Woodville way back.

His voice scared the SH*T outa me.

Yes, Noel Teasdale. #1

He could make the average stand up & be respected.

He would run through a Stobie Pole.

When he ran through a pack, you heard the Crack.



I had a respect for John Nichols until he came to coach us, he then scared the crap out of me! :shock:

Byron Pickett. Was NOT happy when he left the Roos for Flower Power...but then it was ok coz i held the door open for him at Port Adelaide Subway, and he grunted at me... :D

plus he watched a game I played for North Haven Vs Kaurna Eagles. He had that infamous green XR8 he wrapped around the stobie pole, then blamed Johncock.

Luke Hodge is my favourite, the guy is a gun he's tough, skillful and he can play anywhere. He won the hawks the flag in 08, hands down one of the best team and individual performances ever. Also his winning goal against the Crows at Ammi in the same year, that will forever stick in my mind as one of the best moments in the AFL ever, i'll never forget that

Also Lance Franklin, mainly because of his winning goal against the crows in 2007, My most favourite AFL match of all time, cannot count how many times i've watched it on Youtube.

Aishy (along with Macca) was every Port fan's hero but no of em could admit until now. :lol: As for the Port player I admired most I reckon Booney is spot on about Greg Phillips, the guy was an absolute Goliath in the backline.

Wow that really is sad mate.

I find it quite funny when some fans hate their rivals so much that they would rather see their rival lose instead of their own team winning. Pathetic really.
