Agreed - but defending sapaul, he did make that post 3 years ago :p

Although I wouldn't have called Carry a dud back then either!
 
That Port back 6 doesn't even look that bad! Couple of near AAs among them and a couple of real goers.

Wonder if he still thinks Bode is a dud?
 
What wonderful memories, the dropped marks, duffed kicks, hand balls to no one, running to the wrong positions, shirking the issue. The coaching blunders. Well done to all who contributed, good work.

Do you want to know what WCE got for the trade of Ian Downsborough to Port Adelaide? A number 1 draft pick, which was used to get Michael Gardiner! Not a bad deal, I'm sure you'll agree.
 
You wouldn't have got it if we didn't get Lyle and Bond as cheap as chips.

No, what actually got WCE the #1 priority pre-draft pick was finishing lower than the other three clubs we gave up priority picks to for uncontracted players. Something WCE have become particularly adept at since their concession fuelled success of the early 90s.

Are you 1 of the moronic Port supporters who rang your club last week because you heard the half forward line for next year was going to be Carey Lade Stevens. Many did, haha.
Very old stupid joke,i wouldnt expect any better from a crow supporter.
 
Stupid buggas!!

So obsessed with the Crows you can't even reason properly anymore.:rolleyes:

Why in the hell would you have a thread on a PORT board about a teams worst 22 other THAN YOUR OWN??

Remember; we were there first, we won a Premiership first, we are consistant when it comes to winning finals and our history is our own, not 'propped' up.

The Port Board is always good for a laugh and chuckle in our family!!

simply one of the worst (& weakest) posts ive read in a while - typical paranoid crows supporter "we were the first....." - LIGAF.

& i love the bit about our history being "propped up" :rolleyes:

Its a bit of a laugh champ. Get over it.

And yes. We're obsessed with the crows. Completely. We want so much to be like you. We try and we try, but we just can't seem to stop winning games of footy lately.

Ahh well.

Your finals record from 1999 onwards is deplorable.
Adelaide
2 wins / 4 losses = 33.3%

Port
5 wins / 6 losses = 45%

You could say until last season yours was embarrasing, but I wont.

You could say in the sense of total AFL finals played, ours is better than yours, but I wont.

The fact of the matter is the two clubs are in vastly different stages of the inevitable cycle, and the wheel keeps turning. ;)

It's just a laugh! Yes im sure we've had dud's too, not too many like your lot though. If you actually drafted decent players you might not have so many.

No one can run away from our pre-2004 crappy finals performances, but at least we are consistently making the finals. In 8 years we've made it 5 times.
5 / 8 = 63%

Adelaide - around for longer so various ways of looking at it
6 / 14 = 43%
or first eight years
3 / 8 = 38 %
or eight years Port have been in the AFL
5 / 8 = 63% - the only one that matches (and won't after 2005) - and that's with the clubs at different stages in their cycles as you say.

As they say 'You have to be in it to win it', and Adelaide just isn't in it that often by any 'apples with apples' comparison.

However with varying finals systems and the like the win-loss across the whole season(s) - H & A and finals - are more accurate anyway.

Port -
112 Win - 3 Draw - 73 Loss - 59.6% Win
Highest win - loss - 80%

Adelaide
First 8 years
93 Win - 1 Draw - 91 Lost - 50.3% Win
All 14 years
160 win - 1 draw - 162 lost - 49.5% Win
8 Years Port have been in AFL
100 Win - 0 draw - 90 lost - 52.6% win

Highest win loss - 65.4%

And of course - 3 minor premierships - Port, 0 - Adelaide
2 pre-season titles - Port, 1 - Adelaide

Yes, Crows fans will be desperately hoping we don't back up our flag this year with another. We already crap on Adelaide by every other on-field measure, it's the solitary thing left remaining to you.
