PORT MAGPIES

[BUZZ]

Is Vinnie Rugolo playing for port magpies this year?

Yep, doing well on the training track too apparently.

Hes wanted out the eagles for a while!

Apparently was a Port supporter as a kid, so its like being back at home again for him lol

Was a Rosewater boy as a junior, won a few underage medals as a kid.

You hope he doesn't turn out like Roc Harry.

Port's success in the SANFL in the 1950s and 60s was based on discovering brutality before anyone else in SA, systematically reducing the opposition to 17 men in the days before interchanges existed. A great sporting achievement.

Sturt's on the other hand was bought with skill.

Well i wouldn't call Craig Balme spitting at Tim Evans before the 84 GF brutality but it certainly wasn't a great thing for Norwood supporters to be proud of. Likewise some of John Wynnes's carry on, then look at McIntosh and his cheap shots, too bad he couldn't restrain himself in the 97 finals series, might have actually played in a premiership that year. And that well known Norwood coach, Neil Balme, he was certainly an angel himself wasn't he.

Spitting?? Open the other eye mate ... Interestingly I watched that game again last night and there was nothing more than verbal and a slight nudge before Timmy shat himself and threw one.

One of my best mates (and his whole freakin family ) is Port mad and was front row and reckons you could hear some of Balmy's comments (which were colorful to say the least), but there was no spitting, not sure where you got that one from.

I can definately confirm he is not in Adelaide. He lives around the corner from me, saw him and the family pack up and leave about 3 weeks ago. Pretty sure they are coming back, there are shoes left on the front porch.

This is not a p!ss-take , by the way.

Gone walkabouts, get use to it.

[smac]

Wouldn't they need shoes if they went walkabout though? Perhaps they went driveabout instead?

With the amount of stuff they took with them, i would think it was more like a 'live-about' !

They dont need shoes thats why they were left on the porch!

Herd it last night from my Uncle who is on Fianace committee down there he told me he spose to be at training last night

[bluestheboy]

Byrons parents live in WA and in laws in Ceduna. Is very family orientated and will head off to see family when ever time allows. Would be nothing to see him watching a local match in Port Lincoln the day after playing interstate with Melbourne.
Hope he does play for maggies this year, coz we don't need him back playing for Mallee Park.

[Dog_ger]

Those were the days.

Evans v Balme.

True Legends of the game.

I can still see it in my memories.

They loved each other.

Made it what it is today.

For the magpies to play finals, Byron must be fit.

Did he train Thiele...?

[Thiele]

have no idea. Just got told by my Uncle last night at tea

[Dog_ger]

Well done Thiele
