Got this e-mail on the 17th. Only just read it today because I was interstate at a wedding. Seems the club's pretty pleased. Obviously a form letter but it's gratifying to get something.
Despite the misspelling of meagre and incorrect use of apostrophes.

Dear Michael,

Great to hear you support the club’s stance with Nick Stevens. It has been a real boost to hear the overwhelmingly positive response we’ve had to our decision.

As you have probably read or heard by now, the club was not offered an adequate trade by Collingwood after we learned via Nick’s manager on Thursday that it was the only club we could deal with. Given that, we decided to not accept the meager offer and instead let Stevens go into the pre-season draft for no return in order to make a statement that we will not be manipulated by players, their managers, or opposition clubs. Nick is one of the comp’s premier midfielders and we would have liked a return for him but given the circumstances we are happy with our decision.

There’s a full statement about the situation from Brian Cunningham on our website - http://portadelaidefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=124401

Again thanks for your support and go the Power in 2004!

Advertiser reckons 100's of calls and emails. Could be 1000's with their liberality with the truth. Then again it could just be the people from this board.

Just noticed in my diary it was Judas' birthday on Friday. Underneath I wrote "BOO! HISS! AND STAY OUT!" a while back and I only just found my diary today. Would've been a nice present if he had gone to the 'Woods but we put a stop to that.

UnHappy birthday, you suck, see you next year! :D

*Stares* According to my calendars (yes, all four), his birthday is and will always be and has always been October 17. Even the AFL record says so. The only birthdays in January are Kane's (5th) and Wade's (17th).

Who would you rather trust? ;)

Anyway happy birthday to Roger and Shaun for today.

[edit]
Okay, my bad. He was born on January 3. Dont ask where I got October 17 from. :eek: But he isnt important enough to remember when his birthday is.

I think it's safe to say I know what I did now! :p The birthdays I wrote down are the birthdays of players I actually liked. The rest of the team is in there. I had a think about what I might have done after Porthos wrote his message and I logged back on and did a quick check.. lo and behold it's Nick Riewoldts birthday! :D
