port has made it an artform with intimidation etc i cant tell you how many times glenelg has been sucked in over the years but its plenty the 2 games that always spring to mind is the 1982 preliminary final we were about 6 or 7 goals up & cruising & granger came onto the ground with premeditated "intimidation/thuggery" & almost got them over the line & also that 2nd half cost us any chance we had the following week in the grand final against norwood even mcguiness is quoted as saying that 'we were mentally beaten before we started not that we knew that or believed that at the time' the other game was the grand final port v wwt (1994?)when wwt led by about 5 or 6 goals & hodges sucked in his opponent got a 15 metre ? penalty kicked the goal & all the wwt players wanted to do was argue with the umps & try squaring up including a young s.camporeale. we the other 8 clubs should one day wake up, mind you central is doing it at the moment but not with the same intensity or mongrel that port did in the past

Granted we have a few players that like to niggle but at least its in your face not a king hit from behind! We've got a couple of brothers who will niggle each other if the can't find any opposition worth niggling. Gotta love that spirit.

Must have really hurt.Seems as though you have some residual feelings towards Port Adelaide.

[Strawb]

I remeber the love tap well headbutt Dean Howard gave Vinnie Rugolo a few years back or hitting Patrick Wiggins last year. Howie isn't a thug just a little miss understood. I wouldn't want to fight him anyway.

Comparing Centrals of today with the old Port Adelaide. A bit rough dont you think?

[Rik E Boy]

I seem to remember a game at Norwood Oval (Norwood v Central)- must have been in the 80s when an all-in fight before the inital bounce. Resulted in Gilbert McAdam going off for stitches before the game started. If thats not thuggery what is?

LMAO Tinman!! An all in Blue would tend to indicate that it just wasn't one team throwing the punches. I might not have been to the last six grannies but I was at that game. Both teams warmed up at the same end and Norwood quite rightly told the johnnie come latelys to piss off to the other end. An all in ensued and of course it was only the big bad Norwood players who threw the punches..poor old Gilbert ...cripes Tinny you're breaking my heart. humours4eva ha ha.

BTW, a bloke I know ended up in a wheelchair after getting smashed in the fight that was taking place on the other side of the fence at the same time. Hairest darn game I ever went to.

Port have made it an artform with intimidation and Glenelg made an artform out of bowing to that pressure LOL.

Ahh the good old days,insipid Glenelg bowing to the Port Adel....hang on a minute,what am I talking about,its still happening.

[Wedgie]

I saw the Ryan/Aish incident, I think I actually cheered it!
Nothing wrong with that one, just another footy incident.
I think Aish learnt not to try and girly slap a person who could hit him back like a man after that one.
Plus he deserved a hit in the head for believing in god, Ryan might have been trocking to knock some sense into the clown.

REB mate! I guess you tongue is firmly in your cheek. The reason that they were both at the same end was Central were out first and chose the southern end and when Norwood arrived for some reason they couldn't find their way to the northern end. I don't suppose it could have been premediatated could it? Just a coincidence that Gilbert had won the Magarey the year before I suppose? Silly of him to pick on 6 Norwood players at once wasn't it?

If the fight you are talking about in the crown was in front of the scoreboard - I was very close to the action as it spilled over into my area. Some of the worst crowd biffo I've seen, although there was a day a Elizabeth when the Port Cheer Squad got sorted by the Northern end mound crowd. A similar thing happened - the Port Cheer squad decided to visit the CDFC squad at the Northern end halfway through the third or fourth quarter.

read my last sentence not with the same intensity or mongrel ( that port has used over the years)

You saw a totally different incident to the one I was watching then mate, because the one I'm talking about was just plain ridiculous ... The ball was on it's way back to the centre for the bounce when the no-talent hack walked up BEHIND Aish and cracked him in the head while he was looking toward the middle, he didn't even have a chance to see it coming ... When Aishy eventually picked himself up he went and took a crack back at Ryan, got reported and got off due to the cowardly nature of the initial offence ...

Think you'll find in the same game Klomp got reported twice (for tripping or kicking and headbutting) also

I think I got it the first time- and I agree with you. It was just a good cue to talk about the doggies.

Gotta luv different perspective, as I said I'll concede the Riley and Sims incidents were terrible, nothing wrong with the smacking of Aish though.
I've seen more violence from the bar staff towards North supporters at Norwood Oval than that incident involved.

Who won that game?

[JK]

You guys did mate, far too good, won by quite a bit from memory ... Still was an inexcusable act, I'm all for the rough, tough stuff don't get me wrong, but that sorta gutlessness will never be "tough"in my book

Heh heh, well my memory is fading fast and I could have been guilty of looking at the bottom of a glass at the time with only one eye open Bloody stupid McAdam, imagine taking on six blokes!!

Come on Wedgie, a North player wouldn't have done it for that reason? It would have been more along the lines of "Why didn't you play for us?" or "Why have you got better skills than I have?"

Nah, quite different to all that, Norwood were becoming increasingly frustrated that day as we were outclassing them on the Park as per usual. They were doing quite a few dirty things to try and put us off our game behind play, we had enough and returned serve, they couldn't handle it and got caned and whinged like punctured pigs. Just the usual.

As I said before I'm quite objective in regard to these incidents hence why I pulled out egs such as the Sims and Riley incident. Aish and Norwood got what they deserved that day IMHO. I must dig the video out of that game, always enjoy it heaps, I remember cheering myself silly that day and giving Bradley Ryan a round of applause.

Since you were so intently watching the game, could you answer me just one little query then ? Why was blood pissing out from Ryans nose when he gave the God botherer a whack mmmmmmmmmmm.
