Let's talk Ports!

[Ford Fairlane]

We were so hyped if they put up a picture of Bobo the Clown we would have gone crazy. We were like 5yo kids who had OD'ed on red cordial.

 

[Nemisis]

Great night it was - finished off down at the Old Lion... where did that 20 years go.

1996-97 really doesn't feel very long ago to me at all. Then you see that.

Still am. We are fabulous.

The Old Lion! The best chicken parmigiana I've ever had was there after the first Showdown at Adelaide Oval, and I've had a few of those in my time!

So 90's.

Whoever has been working on the club's Wikipedia page has done a fantastic job. Have a look if it's been a while!

Speaking of having an unhealthy knowledge of one's own Likes, I am currently between oogac and Macca19.

 

[Macca19]

Ditto, great night.

I recently crept into the top 50

Really an indictment on how easy it is to get likes hey

 

[Macca19]

Hahaha I was baffled at that.

How was the reaction to the moniker back when? I guess you would have been stoked to get into the AFL in the first place.

I think a lot of us went there expecting it to be Port Pirates. There was some pre-launch talk about Power, but most people I spoke to thought we'd go with Pirates.

Are you talking about JohnHinkleyJr threads?

It would have been a lot stronger

Oh well. Port Adelaide is strong enough.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It is still Graham Cornes' preference so that's a good enough reason to never ever consider it.

Dolphins however ...

You usurped the throne of Dingle in 50th.
