Welcome to the Port board Amanda.......


Again it's great to see so many new Port supporters on the board.


Perhaps it might be a good time for everyone to add a little piece about themselves as an introduction to all.


Name: Stephen

Age: 36

Location: Darwin (been in the NT for 9 years - originally from Adelaide)

Occupation: Project Management/Business System Management

AFL Team: Port Adelaide

Membership/Season Tickets: Full Member of both Port clubs and Cat 1 Footy Park with GF anchor as well as co-ordinator of the Port Adelaide Top End Supporters Group

Footy/Club History in the family: My Grandfather played for West Adelaide in the 1920's going on to captain the side and represent SA in interstate footy.

My father played for West's U19's with Doug Thomas but saw the light with my mother converting him to Port Adelaide many years ago.

Favourite Premiership and why: 1977.....after the depressing loss in 1976 it was awesome to comeback and win as well as hearing Russell say those immortal words....... .............. "It's been a bloody long time but by gees it;s worth it" as he held up the Cup.

Have to also add 1990 after the crap we copped over the initial AFL bid it was great to come out and thump the Bays........as well as our 3rd in a row which has now happened 3 times during my lifetime already........


Feel free to add any other items you like as we'll expand as we go along............

[Pred]

I only have 2 claims to fame by association, I think :)

My great grandad was Bos Daly, who played for Norwood, and (I think) North. He still holds the SANFL goalkicking record for a match. He kicked 27 goals in a match (I think for Norwood).

Other than that, my cousin Mark Donovan played for Glenelg (Boo-hiss) in the 80's. He was number 32.

[_espoir]

i have no idea what numbers my grandpa(s) were... thats something for me to ask my father about.... knowing him he'll tell me the life history and forget the real question i asked...:D

Do you know the link for the honour board that was done last year.....I couldn't find it on the site but I know it still exists as I have the link on my PC at home.

Might help with a few of the earlier captain and coaching details.

Occupation: English Teacher

AFL Team: Port Adelaide (dumb question? :))

SANFL Team: Port Adelaide Magpies

Mark Donovan (cousin played for Glenelg). I played VERY briefly for the Parndana footy club on Kangaroo Island (same league as Ladey comes from), and used to play a bit for the Adelaide Uni Blacks.

Favourite Premiership and why: Can't really remember one sticking out, but my favourite final (apart from beating Essendon last year), was the year Hodges won the game with a 50 metre goal from the corner of the 50m arc and the boundary. Against Norwood, wasn't it. Oh, and the 2003 premiership :)

Favourite Premiership and why:
The most recent premiership we won against Norwood - great game fitting result.

The reserves GF we won against Norwood the day Eugene kicked about 5 in the last quarter .... even though the A's lost, I ran into an old friend who was playing for the pies, and got myself back to Alberton complete with a players drink pass, and free access to the entire place :)

I've got that game on an unofficial video that the club released featuring a slightly drunk Tim Giniver and Barry Curtin commentating - that last quarter effort was pretty amazing by Eugene.

I could have a crack I guess... But I only have a capture card that will do mpeg1 from a composite or rca source. I have some software that is sposed to do mpeg2, but haven't tested it. I can do mpeg2 from firewire tho, but I dont think this will help.

I dont have a dvd burner either, but could burn svcd's. Problem is each game will take 4 cd's this way.

I'll see if I can find someone with a dvd burner. Maybe I should con one of my clients into buying one.

Perhaps we could discuss this further when watching Port flog some West Aussie team on the 28th??

Ive had two Port videos ripped to VCD (The Russell Ebert Story & Magpie Magic 125 years in the making) and the quality was pretty good.

If there being ripped from VHS video tapes it wouldnt be worth doing them as SVCD as it will not improve the quality, so you might as well just convert them to VCD and probably get 2 quarters on one cd.

I plan to remind him about that. :D

Nicksi - do NOT ever repeat that you went to school with Brett, there's at least one person on this board that would flip her lid, and none of us would EVER hear the end of it. :rolleyes:

I could say hi to him when I next see him at training (most probably Wednesday) if you'd like :)

[Nicski]

Awww poor little Dewy...that's heaps funny!

Hehe Powerpride, I think I can guess which person on the board that might be!!!! :P

It's pretty funny stuff...don't know if Brett would remember me, but I could probably dig up some old school photos ;)

Footy/Club History in the family: Little to no association. Played footy with Danny Morton at Primary School, my cousin is about to marry the sister of Darryl Poole. I did appear in the highlights package of a computer game called AFL99.

Favourite Premiership and why: 1990 against Glenelg when it seemed that the worlds eyes were on us as we tried to enter the AFL, Hodges set a new record of 153 goals for a season. 1994 was particularly special against Woodville/West Torrens, most thought we were gone for all money until Hodges turned it on. 1996 wasn't too bad either, this was the emergence of Warren Tredrea.

Bos Daly did play for North Adelaide and was a member of the 1902 and 1905 premiership teams.He was also the states leading goalkicker (when with us) in 1903(54 goals) and 1905 (30 goals). When at Norwood he was the state leading goalkicker in 1893 (88 a state record until 1930) 1894 (47)1895(46) and 1899 32) he was also the states leading goalkicker in 1900 (27) when he played with West Torrens. He actually kicked 23 goals in one game(Norwood vs Adelaide in 1893) which is the still the state record for one game(being equalled by ken Farmer in 1940.)
He was also a member of the North board for many years after he retired from playing. There is a great photo of him congratulating ken Farmer on equalling his record in the book THE FARMER FILES.

Hope that is of interest.

Didn't know much of that. Bos was (I am led to believe), my father's mother's father. Pity I didn't inherit more of the footy genes :(

I haven't been able to find the links to the honour boards but have a copy of the 3 JPEG files that I can send by email to get them back on the club's web site.

Peter is now a wine rep for Mcwilliams, see him around the place a bit, it's amazing the amount of ex-footy players who end up being alcohol reps. They seem to turn out pretty good, the only dud I remember being a footballer was Nigel Smart, he was useless, since he finished up with West End no current footballers have been employed since.

I've been a Sturt supporter since I was an ankle biter - but I have no idea why!

Follow them as closely as possible (from Melbourne!), but unfortunately we don't get much coverage over here. Most of the reports I have to hunt down from the Internet, but it's better than nothing!

You love me, eh? Geez, that was easy! Woohoo!

You're a Sturt supporter because you have supreme taste!

I'd be forced to kill myself if I had to rely on the internet for information on Sturt!

Yes, I found out that RN and I unknowingly shared the same lecture theatre last semester despite the fact I never actually went ;)

I've actually deferred this semester... I dragged my GPA up to 5.7 so I decided to pike for 6 months - but yeah, I've probably seen you at the Tav 1000 times :D

I almost always wear a Port cap (the one below) at Uni, but I don't know if it's the 97 one. No one's said anything to me about it so it's probably not me.

If you see a big guy in a beige jacket around the Law/Commerce building with that cap on it'll most probably be me.

*blinks* well... i saw ones like it in '97 and assumed it was the same one.

If it was me you said hello to (and I'm not sure it was, cos I don't remember it:confused: ) then I'm sorry if I didn't respond. I probably didn't hear you (unfortunately my hearing is not great:( ), it certainly wouldn't have been through deliberately ignoring ya, I can guarantee that. I'm not that much of a chump, honest!

I'm actually just a something-not-sure-what-in-the-making... I'm just doing the Bachelor of International Studies degree, not the double-law version that RN is doing ;)

I might try and transfer degrees into something more worthwhile - or I'll just do something politics-related. Is there a choice??!!
