everyone needs introductions

[Salopek3]

Should you be typing? Knowing your luck you'll do a rotator cuff stretching for the 'P'. In fact 'P' is appropriate here, as I think that's what you're taking with us.

No P take here. Just like to see whats going on and what the fans think

Welcome to Big Footy. Glad to see another loyal Power and Port Magpies supporter sign up.

Thanks ... must admit haven't been to a Magpies game for a few years - did live within walking distance at Alberton and went to most home games for 10 years. I plan to rectify it this year by renewing membership and getting to some games.

Hi all.

I'm new here. I registered only today.

Brief background:

Name: Billy

Live: Melbourne (since January 2000, originally from near Henley Beach in SA. Moved here for work reasons.)

Occupation: Insolvency (hence my nic)

SANFL Team: Magpies (obviously)

AFL Team: Port Adelaide Power (obviously)

Top 3 FLags IMO:

1) 2004 v Brisbane (without doubt - best day of my life, that, and getting married, just in case my wife reads this)

2) 1994 v W.WT. Eagles (6 goals down against the then premier side and won, all thanks to Timmy Ginever)

3) 1999 v Norwood (thriller, and erased the pain of losing in 1984 and 1997 against them)

I'll also throw in the Liverpool 2004/05 Champions League win against AC Milan. To win from three nil down was unbelievable. But Liverpool lost today so life goes on.

Anyway, thats me in a nutshell. Look forward to posting and reading comments from time to time.

And, what I wouldnt give to repeat 2004 all over again.

Cheers folks.

I always thought that it was Hodges (and the crowd lifting him with our chanting )

Welcome aboard LtL

 

[Larry the Liquidator]

Thanks for the welcome Mr Meaner. And you're right. It was Hodges who ran amok in that last quarter, kicking 6 goals or thereabouts. But from memory, it was Ginever who kept Port within touch when the Eagles were playing all over us. If it wasn't for Ginever, I reckon we would have been nearly ten goals down at quarter time.

Cheers.

 

[Larry the Liquidator]

Thanks for the welcome too Powerstuff.

Although I only registered yesterday, I have been a regular reader of the boards since about a month before Port won the 2004 flag. Just never bothered to register.

Cheers.

 

[Papa G]

Age: 32

First Port Adelaide memory: Being 6 years old at a packed Unley Oval sometime in the late seventies. Port coming home with a wet sail, 5 minutes to go, being so small not being able to see anything, but just having a sense of what was happening, and then just the joy on my fathers face when we snatched victory from the jaws of defeat (as we often did in years gone by).... sorry if this sounds a bit wonder years.

Best GF: Would have to say 2004. We really needed that GF victory. I guess I grew up at a lucky time when I just missed out on drought of the late 60's - 70's and magpie premierships were just expected.

Worst loss: Some of the Power's 2002/03 were pretty dissmal, but I still can not go past the 1984 Grand Final.

Have looked at BF for over a year now but have never signed up for fear of wasting too much of the working day on it. Finally have bitten the bullett because there are a few topics I do wish to discuss. Will only bob in and out every so often.

 

[Toots Hibbert]

Welcome from me Papa G. Look forward to your posts.

[Ferox]

Given some of the weird stuff on bigfooty I thought a "reintroduction" appropriate.

After a long story of lost password, lost printout of email with new passport & some evil trojan or something in our PCs I haven't posted for ages, combined with my "I've got better thing to do than stuff around with computers" attitude towards technology (Tell me when they can talk & I may be impressed. Who'd buy a car if they said you had to stop & fix it yourself all the time! etc).

My absence was not because I was banned, sulking over being delisted by the swamprats, I was a perennial bridesmaid in the tipping OR that I am a bandwaggoner. I'm just a PC imbecile who prefers books I guess.

I have read the boards consistently meanwhile & even 'tho I was never a major poster I am much relieved to finally be able to post again.

Thx to all the posters, especially those at the coal face, who help me keep a " real" view of things rather than the media dribble. Being stuck in Melb you guys are a lifeline in the circus the media makes of AFL. Without you guys I would know nothing about our younger players, how the Club is really tracking etc.

& BTW my user name was not chosen for any connotation of being "feral".

I'm harmless (well almost harmless, I have been known to throw the odd book at a PC)

 

[Sandola]

Welcome back Ferox. Books are good.
