2nds Sturt vs Port Adelaide - Round 17 @ Unley

[RossFC]

Sunday 18th of August 2:10pm at Peter Motley Oval.

For people that can't make it to the game the digital pass this year is similar to last year. If you are a member of one of the 8 other SANFL clubs you get every SANFL game (including all Port home and away games) live for $30, non-members of those 8 other clubs have to pay $60. Or for a 30 days pass it's $6 for members, $10 for non-members.

The game will be played a day after the AFL game so all emergencies will be able to play.

Burton and Butters should be back for the AFL side so we may see Sutcliffe and Bonner drop down here.

Sam Hayes should be back have have achilles soreness as well.

There is a chance that we could have a full team of AFL listed players.

Win this game and a Qualifying Final against the crows in the 1st week of finals should be confirmed. Top spot is mathematically possible, but unlikely.

[RossFC]

I'll be on a plane when this game is on so if someone else can provide updates that'd be great.

 

[Interstater]

Wife is working again this Sunday so if I can keep the digipass going you'll get the updates.

 

[El Zorro]

I'll try to go to this game as I live reasonably near the dogpark. Never a pleasant experience though. If I go I'll try to help with updates.

Watch out for the guy with the umbrella slung over his shoulder and Mr & Ms Smackie.

Is that us vs our 4 most hated clubs in the competition (traditional + franchise) in the top 5?

 

[El Zorro]

You must be new to Ports.

Norwood absolutely are our biggest rivals in the SANFL, crows 2nd due to AFL history, Glenelg for me would be 3rd after what happened in 1990.

Sturt we've had a lot of battles with, I personally hate North Adelaide more.

Centrals and Eagles are neighbours, West gave us Fos Williams, South irrelevant.

South gave us John Cahill.

 

[RossFC]

South gave us John Cahill.

Did he play juniors or something for them?

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Forecast is for a rainy day so the turds will be slippery.

Our height advantage will be gone.

 

[Rising Power]

Did he play juniors or something for them?

Yep. Won the McCallum Medal then a couple years later debuted for Port.

 

[raptalia]

Did he play juniors or something for them?

I think the story goes that Jack's grandmother lived in Seaton so the Big Fella arranged for him to live with her for twelve months so that he qualified for Port. From memory I think she was only a street or two inside the Port zone at the time. Not sure that was exactly how it happened but I know the Big Fella played drafts to get Jack to Alberton.

Of course the Big Fella came from Norwood so KT is not the only ex Norwood player to run the PAFC. As far as I know KT is the only self confessed 'Norwood flog' to run the Club.

We also managed to get Tim Ginever from Woodville in the early 1980's. Timmy lived just inside the Woodville zone but we swapped a player for him.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Jack Cahill lived in Port's zone but wanted to play for South because his uncle Laurie Cahill played for South.

When he won the McCallum Medal for South and Bob found out he lived in Port's zone, Port exercised their zone hold on him. Cahill reluctantly agreed to the switch because Port stopped him playing.

So a Port legend was born.

 

[Magus]

FFS we really don't get much exposure on 7mate do we?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We're going to get horror weather again. Dog poo park is going to be awash with floaters.

 

[snozulu]

I still can't believe we have a premiership ruck in the 2's in great form not playing in our best 22. It's BS

 

[Marat]

Lack of interest for this one - about all I want to see is Frampton kick 5 or 6 as a big * you to Ken on his way out the door

 

[Interstater]

Wasn't all that interested after last night but I'm hoping the lads in the prisonbars can manage expectations better than those that played AFL.

Will be quietly watching the Giants /Dogs game also.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Hailing golf balls. Port must be playing today. 20 and sunny for the crows at AO

 

[Capital Power]

Must be pretty deflating for some of the guys tearing up the twos, looking over their shoulder at the firsts' performances and knowing that they can't get a game.

 

[Interstater]

Jan-Aug 2019 Rainfall Total​	267.4 mm​	69 day(s)

At least they are a chance of a premiership.
