In fairness Hodges brings it up himself and says he has struggled a bit with the Port Power concept

Just coz you don't agree with him doesn't mean he's whinging.
But there are other threads to DISCUSS it.

I think some people don't want to remember what it is to be a true Magpie. Perhaps tarnishes the myth that everything is just so rosy now?
My understanding of how Hodges feels about the whole Power thing would suggest to me that it definitely is worth remembering in this, a thread about him.
But I agree with Amber, it would probably be better if you DISCUSSED it elsewhere Booney.

From memory, in his first year or 2 under Cahill he played on a forward flank, with D Smith full forward, whilst Greg Phillips and Martin Leslie were experimented with at CHF.
When Cahill came back, in 88, he played Phillips at CHB, with Abernethy and Leslie on the back flanks. D Smith went went to CHF, and Hodges went to FF.

Throw David Hynes into the mix and the Maggies had some serious KP firepower. Then their mids like Williams, Obst, Smith etc regularly seemed to hit the scoreboard. That Port side of 88'-90' was something to behold.

Think the loss of Anthony Williams shouldn't be underestimated either, it galvanized the group for a stirring come from behind win at the Parade, and that's when it appeared (from the outside of course) that the group actually started to believe in how good they were.
