Choco now following us ...

After Williams bagging us pre-season for copying them, it's nice to see that when things go tough for him, he looks across the Boulevard for some inspiration.

[snipped from today's Age]

Williams is hoping it is "just one of those years" when a team can win the flag with relatively few wins on the board.

"I'd like to think we might be able to do an Adelaide," he said. "I think they won 13 games to win the premiership (in 1997 and 1998), didn't they? You don't have to finish top to win (the premiership).

Put it down to the Crow connection in the coaching box.

Actually, Choco, Adelaide won 17 games in 97 and 16 in 98. It is true about the 13 minor round games, but to get a flag you have to win the finals as well.

 

[jo172]

you have to win the finals as well.

Which we all know is Port's weakness.

Message to Port supporters - Back to the DRAWing board!

Win, lose or draw this guy is just obsessed with the AFC!

 

[SBR_04]

LOL that makes me laugh, good old Choco back to his idiot ways

Ahh well even though he didn't get the right amount of games we won, atleast he knows now that we've won TWO premierships

....pfffftt lol

 

[PAFC2004]

You people are sad. He was making a comparison considering we have gotten so much garbage from the media. He is not looking to "copy" you.

That comment could be contrued as dig at the Crows.
Jeez...he'll be comparing himself to Blighty next.

What the hell are you talking about? We won the damn cup! You have to make the finals before you can win them!

Port's finals record is still deplorable

 

[Damp Squarie]

Treadreas kicking is deplorable

 

[PAFC2004]

Our finals record is not deplorable. Look at teams like Sydney.. haven't won a final in melbourne for 10 years. At the end of the day, we came away with the silverware... that's all anyone plays for.

then we can copy your greatest fall from one season to the next - 1st to 13th - the league record - nice stat that one.

wanna talk hang-overs? seems like you guys wrote that book too.

Right after the one we wrote about back to back.

Probably not the best example given that they pantsed you on your home ground in a final.

This is not about hangovers. There are another 100 threads about that elsewhere if you want to talk about that.

This is about Williams being very selective about what's right and wrong. Adelaide is labelled a copycat because he follows some things of what Williams does at training. Williams brings it up and makes it a public discussion.

Now he's talking about copying Adelaide.

Must be tough to be that two-faced. But I guess if you work for a team that has 130 years of tradition but is still a new club, it's going to be a hard not to be.

 

[PAFC2004]

It was one game.

 

[PAFC2004]

Just a question... by mentioning adelaide won 13 H & A games in one of their premiership years, how is that suggesting we are trying to copy the crows?

 

[relapse]

It was one game.

So was the Grand Final which is the only final that Port have won outside of AAMI stadium, Port's record outside of AAMI stadium for the finals prior to the grand final was just as bad if not worse than Sydney.

More excuses...

 

[relapse]

Excuses for what??? I clearly said before that Port won the premiership because they outplayed Brisbane.

That is a pathetic attempt at a comeback because you clearly made a dumb comment about Sydney's finals record and when it was pointed out that they beat Port at AAMI you said big deal it was one game, the point I made was that so was the grand final other than that one game you have been thrashed in all your other finals games outside of AAMI.
