But that was the glory of '99. We were never meant to make it to the GF at all. * were considered a shoe-in for the '99 flag, but by winning the prelim, we tore up the script. Our victory was in denying *.

De Goey - no thanks. He'd cost us way too much, for a player who seems... problematic.

Unbelievable. Still holds out hope for the great redemption fairy tale... :rolleyes:

Anyone else running out of popcorn and lemonade? :D

Wow, so Port Adelaide FC were established 16 years before the city of Adelaide? Amazing! o_O

Massive hypocrisy, given they were also serial cap offenders and are distinguished by the fact that they won a flag during a year they were found to have been in breach. Why were they never stripped of that flag?

If you don't feel a particular rivalry with * I'm guessing you must be a youngster. Under 20 at least. Apart from that, it's just fun to take the piss out of them.

Yeah, I was in Africa - Burkina Faso. Would have loved to be at this game! Still, Africa was awesome too. :cool:

Hell, I like him and I have never even met the bloke! I think I would be quietly gutted if the club gave him the flick now.

I nominate... (cue drumroll)... John Barker, the great survivor! He's on his fourth senior coach at the club, isn't he? Fifth if you count John himself. A tribute to resilience, persistence and to making oneself part of the furniture. He's like a public servant, isn't he? Governments come and...

Maylin was smuggled onto the field as a surprise inclusion in his Round 1 debut against Collingwood in 1980. Had an excellent debut with 19 possessions and a goal, as we spanked the Pies by about 6 goals. I remember it fondly as I had endured a week at school of Pies fans telling me how "Carlton...

Shocked and saddened. Really don't know what else to say... :'(

Kenny Hunter's old club, before he came to the Blues. Is that it? ;)

Last I checked, Rebel Sport put numbers on sport jumpers.

And it speaks far more about the Adelaide footy scene, that a star junior like Lukosius would rather stay the course with the bottom ranked team, far from his home town, than return to play his footy with an Adelaide club. Say there was a promising second year player playing for Kane's old...

Had to smirk at this: our good mate Kane displaying his saltiness over Jack Lukosius re-signing with the Suns. Kane Cornes is salty because Jack Lukosius has chosen to stay at Gold Coast Seriously, this bloke's gall knows know bounds. Luko indicates that he doesn't want the added pressure of...

Good to see Ed's shorts haven't got any smaller... they're bigger than Crippa's!

Yeah, that one slipped through the sarcasm filter, didn't it?

I for one don't bear him any ill will. Let's face it, he was never going to be part of flag no. 17. His leaving helped pave the way for some who will.

I guess no one told Eddie McChins this. President for life! :p
