Universal Love Down Memory Lane

[Blues_1864]

The second game vs. Essenscum in 97'/98' when Harry had to retire for Porter to get elevated to play. Porter killed it and ended up winning by 72 points

It was 1997, his debut, my birthday, terrific day for both of us . It's strange to think he was never much more than a fringe player before we traded him, because his best was so good.

I remember him absolutely dominating against Collingwood after we fell behind early, he was sent to the goal square and we started bombing it in to him, I reckon he took half a dozen contested marks in the space of a quarter and a half as we reeled in a big deficit (about 7 goals) to hit the front early in Q4, but we couldn't hold on. I'm sure Porter got the 3 Brownlow votes that day though, and well deserved too.

Woman should have banned from all games with language like that. Shame...

Agreed, it was extremely strong language for those days Thy and I believe it may have even been 'dirty animal'!!

She was forced to face the leadership team over the dinner table that week and I think faced a month of only attending under 19 games before she was allowed back to watch the seniors!

Remember several years ago watching him play for the Benalla Saints in the GF. Great size for a ruckman.

Remembering Porter's kicking style I hope he was only 1 metre out directly in front. We reckon Casboult has issues!?

95 was a good year... Got back from meeting my deadbeat dad in the UK and got told by my mum that me and the step father were heading to Subi thanks to her winning a couple of tickets to the wet toast vs Carlton game. Was a bloody cracker up on the old grass section with rabid WCE supports all round. 1 point win over them at the old house of pain was special.

Speaking of 95, what about the H&A games against Geelong and the Roos. The Geelong match was a ripper, possibly the best game of that year!

Porter was a bit smarter about giving them off
