The us against the world mentality that Koch and the club has fostered has turned them into monsters with complete apathy and disrespect for anyone not in Port colours, including women and children.
Don’t put it on Koch. Nothing has changed in the Port crowds since the first time I witnessed them in the 70’s. Have always been loaded with feral low lifes. Koch just got them going to games again.

Given his father/son eligibility he should never have been in the academy in the first place. Surely they we have to draw the line at some stage.
Why not?

He was identified at an early age as an elite talent and as such gets the very best chance to develop his talent in the Sydney Academy, can't do that as a kid in Melbourne or Brisbane when your family is living in Sydney.

I'm sure their crowds wouldn't suffer at all if all their games were Sunday twilight
Given I've been led to believe by the editor at large it's all about the match day experience and never tear us apart it shouldn't matter when the games are

They were all pumped up to to win the flag this year and after five rounds it’s all come crashing down. As I wrote back when the banana thrower was doing her thing, their supporters can’t handle losing and they lash out. The inability to handle losing results in incidents and the koolaid attitude you see on this board and in Port supporters in general.

My uncle is the same, a good mate who is a Port supporter is the same and then there are the ferals on here and nut jobs like Janus who are so unable to handle losing that they concoct wild conspiracy theories as to why they lost. It’s from the brainwashing they receive growing up as Port supporters which is passed on from feral parent to feral kid. They’re brainwashed that Port are the greatest club ever and they grow up believing it.

So when the realisation hits that they aren’t the result is that they lash out as they just can’t handle it. There’s some real mental issues at play because of the crap Port kids are fed from birth and gets pumped into them over and over again. It’s hilarious that Cornes used the word ‘cult’ when referring to our camp because Port are the only club who have a real cult.

From the other board, I honestly think that they think their supporter base is the same as every other supporter base o_O

You know, the Crows might have the stupidest fan base in the AFL but they're still smart enough to avoid getting their own feral behaviour caught on camera.


Everyone carries a smartphone, but its only Port Powers being videoed and the footage gaining airtime on the news. Either everyone really is out to get them or they are at delusional levels of group victim mentality.
Lucky for them they will get to sing their Hillsong style singsong about not being torn next home game.

There are cameras everywhere at Adelaide Oval, so if we had any incidents they would be captured.

There is a clear difference in the number of incidents between the 2 supporter groups.

It's quite simple, behave then these unsavoury incidents won't be reported!

I gather they think it's some sort of channel 7 vendetta...

Does an elite young talent in Adelaide or Perth get to develop his game at Adelaide or West Coast. Can't believe you are even arguing this. It's insane the amount of advantages Sydney are gifted. They can have their academy but they should not have access to kids who qualify as father-sons.

Yeah true but doesn't the whole NTUA take the us against the world to another level. What do you think a 6 year old kid is told the first time he sings this shit.

Sniper Thomas, ground invader, Chris Scott incident with the crowd, booing Selwood when he received the ANZAC medal, crowd brawl at AO, Powell-Pepperspray allegedly found guilty, the booing of a player who has just been picked off by a sniper, disgusting tweets at Neroli Meadows. Then you get ones on here wishing death, aids upon players, laughing at their livelihoods being taken away at Ford etc etc.
Ah I can't even remember what else but there's bound to be something. ;):$

Another classy Poort Power weekend.


"Alright, but apart from the sniping, ground invading, coach heckling, booing of medal ceremonies and injured players, brawling, sexual assault allegations, disgusting tweets, laughing at people losing their jobs, and wishing illness and death on opposition players, what have Port people ever done wrong?"

While it's certainly contentious due to the fact that this kid has good heritage, Aussie Rules at the junior level in NSW and QLD is worlds away in standard from footy in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. The AFL has the academy's in Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast to help develop the game and ensure talent isn't being poached and lost to other sports. So as a stand out kid in one of those states, he's gonna get the opportunity to develop in the academy. Do you then prioritise the father/son even though the academy has years of development in that player ?? Or put it back on the clubs to lure the player back to their club and leave the decision in the hands of the player. I think the current arrangement is how it probably has to be.

So the obviously talented kid living in Sydney shouldn't be given every chance to develop his talents because his father John Blakey played for Fitzroy and the Roos. No different to any other kid living in Sydney if they're identified as elite talent.

Nup, I can't agree with your thinking, you're saying he should be debarred from having the best development path for his obvious talent, how is that fair on the lad himself living in a state with limited pathways and facilities for outstanding young footballers to be the very best they can be.

How did Ben Brown slide to draft pick 47 in his draft year? Great player to watch.

Port took Impey at 21 leaving us M Crouch 2 picks later and then took Mitch Harvey at 45 leaving Brown for North 2 picks later that draft :)
Brown also went the same year as Tom Boyd.

Who would have thought the people that “tear port apart “ would be called Elspeth and Gertie.

The misogynists over yonder will be curled up in the corner of their room, sobbing ... with their Mum knocking on the door with a plate of sandwiches saying “ you got to eat something ‘!
“I even cuts the crusts off dear!!!”
