Port Adelaide Appreciation Thread

when was the last legitimate premiership?
geelongs recent flags have rightfully come under fire, in my time on this site, for being won against substandard opposition, and therefore being null and void... a quick scan over recent premiership winning sides reveals a disturbing trend: 2012* - COLA; 2011* - beat the GF chokers, doesnt... -
Round 5 Brisbance v Melbourne - who will win the coaching cripple fight?
voss versus neeld in the ultimate 'sack race'... neeld probably in the stronger position of the two after a good win today. if voss survives this week, can he still be in the coaches box when sydney eat their soul in round 6? ill be watching with interest. -

Franklin Needs 5.9 Goals a Game to Match Ablett Senior
lance and gary are neck and neck in terms of average disposals. lance average 15.1 touches a game, and ablett averaged exactly the same. so given that these two are tied in terms of overall disposal averages, lance needs to start making up ground in goals kicked. ablett played the first 10... -

Premierships / Wooden Spoons...
geelong: 9 flags, 5 wooden spoons = 1.8 flags per wooden spoon. collingwood clearly out in front with: 15/2 = 7.5 flags per wooden spoon. probably safe to say you cannot count yourself a successful club unless your flag per spoon count is 1, or above. -

multiple club players who are rarely recognised as such
two came to mind today, both by accident. i recently read this post: in a bay13 'rip on richmond' thread. i was confused. why would a west coast player losing relate to richmond? then i remembered he actually played for them... i was actually surprised. then i remembered carey played for...- barmy44

port v adelaide... divorce in action.
the port/adelaide divide on here is an odd one... its not really a 'rivalry', as that denotes respect on either side. the two sets of supporters are really like husband and wife, 6 months after a very bitter divorce. truly bizarre. any word on who actually got the house? -
