Club History Port 150 documentary

[Ford Fairlane]

A segregated history that I, as a young 32 year old, think so distant. However to think Wanganeen was only our Third Indigenous Premiership player (I thought Harold Oliver was of First Nations background?) is an atrocity when we have won so much silverware.

I’m not for Tokenism, but very proud we were pacesetters in the mid-late 00’s, and proud we hold/held the record for most indigenous footballers taking the field during the same match.

I hope the Alberton Oval development eventually comes to fruition, housing boarders for further education. Such a shame that such a big part of our history as a nation is unspoken, not recognised and not taught in our classrooms.

It’s not just a footy club, we impact our community and have an opportunity to really make a difference in Australian culture moving forward over the next 100 years. It’s always been out MO, doing what’s right, not what’s easy.

According to Australian Football, Harold Oliver was a first generation Australian born of Cornish parents.

Like RussellEbertHandball I was pleased to see Ross Agius feature in the movie. He had a stellar 1980 season in one of the great Port teams. He is probably not well known to younger Port supporters but was a super talent whose career didn't have the longevity I expected. Great to see him still involved with the club.

I was surprised how few Aboriginal players had an impact at Port up to the start of the 1990s, but we are league leaders with our programs now.

The video of our academy kids visiting Uluru and APY Lands and kids from the Lands coming to Adelaide for the finals was heart warming and a point of pride in the club.

Vicky Welgraven speaking about the place of Port Adelaide in her heritage was stirring.

This was highlight for me too. The connection with indigenous players and associated communities. Something we should proud of as a club.

That Richmond loss still hurts....

Yep, the only thing the film lacked was a happy ending, To be top from round 1 to the last round (after missing finals in 2019) in the club's 150th year under extreme circumstances would have been possibly been the club's greatest premiership of all time.

Was anyone there tonight? That would have been awesome.

PropertySteward told me he was going to the final session with the legends tonight. Maybe next time he logs in he can fill us in what they said.

Timmy interviewed the other three.

Bucky spoke of his time as a junior and how he was told as a 17 year old how he couldn't cross the white line in the changerooms until he was an A Grade player. He said his most memorable time at the Club was winning the AFL flag given how much work it had taken to get there, although the 77 flag was right up there because he had played in so many losing teams until then.

Tredders spoke of his unique situation of transitioning from the old Magpies to the new Power and how most of his mates at school ended up playing for Woodvile-West Torrens. He admitted he was lucky to stay at a club he knew who helped develop him as a player rather than being drafted interstate and left to probably languish at another club. He joked how he got his Dad to help out with his first contract and they called in Geof Motley to help squeeze more $$ out of Bucky

Greg did not swear once, but seemed quite emotional when he talked about the lasting friendships he made with his team-mates. He was genuinely chuffed that he got to play with so many greats, including Buckley and Bradley. The others mentioned that Greg was the one who brought fun to the Club and how instrumental he was in organising the (many) Premiership celebrations. He said Jack encouraged players to enjoy themselves as long as they gave 110% on the track.

Bucky then talked about those Magpies Premiership heroes who were destined never to wear a Power jumper.. the Smiths, Delaneys, Ginevers etc. He asked Timmy how he felt at the time. Timmy said that he and the others were training in the gym when Stephen Williams came in and told them, "You know none of us will get a game". Timmy said he appreciated his honesty, but would have preferred if he wasn't quite direct, maybe adding "but Timmy, you're half a chance".

Tredders then talked about the moment after the 2004 GF when all the players returned to the centre of the MCG to sing the club song. They looked over to a part of the stands where a group of Port players from the 80s and 90s were observing. Tredders said that these were the players who made it all possible and how satisfying it was to finally win a Premiership to repay them.

The opening 3 or 4 minutes of the doco uses some of the footage from this Cinesound Newsreel video from 1963, with narrator Kevin Golsby of The Naked Vicar, Kingswood country and about 2,753 commercials voice over fame.

Starts off with a shot of Adelaide, says its a pretty quiet place except for 1 day of the year every October, shows cars driving around for about 30 seconds before the start of the video below. First 90 seconds up to just before the governor presents Lindsay Head his Magarey medal, is used. It looks a lot cleaner copy, than the video below.

Kev Golsby says Port have won 19 premierships before this game, when in fact it was 21.

I noticed the different pronunciation of the Magarey Medal. Is this something that changed over the years?

Kev Golsby the narrator, was born in Queensland I think. If not then he lived in Sydney for decades.

I noticed he pronounced Cahill the Sydney way - Cahl

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I noticed he pronounced Cahill the Sydney way - Cahl

Yep. The Labor premier for most of the 1950's, John Joseph Cahill, called Joe, used that pronunciation and as his government approved the Opera House and the building of the expressway that took traffic off the bridge and a train stop close to the Opera House under that road, after he passed away in office in 1959, the new Labor premier called it the Cahill Expressway in his honour, so that pronunciation became ubiquitous in Sydney.

 

[GremioPower]

we've been runners up almost as often we've won the GF!

That number, I told RussellEbertHandball, is the most impressive of all.

SANFL footy can be divided into 3 groups: Port, Norwood-Sturt, and the rest. And we would still be the biggest third...

 

[jakey]

Considering inviting non port fans to come along to a screening. Is this flick entertaining enough if you aren't a port tragic?

The Cornish connection and the various types of surnames from that part of the UK is interesting, I saw something on the Daddo family on foxtel a few years back and from memory they thought they may have been of Lebanese origin.
Turned out their first ancestor to this country was from Cornwall, and Daddo is apparently a not uncommon name there.

I was also of the belief the Daddos had Lebanese background. My family is of Lebanese and Cornish decent, interesting indeed.

'Tredrea' is also a distinctively Cornish name

 

[tribey]

Bucky then talked about those Magpies Premiership heroes who were destined never to wear a Power jumper.. the Smiths, Delaneys, Ginevers etc. He asked Timmy how he felt at the time. Timmy said that he and the others were training in the gym when Stephen Williams came in and told them, "You know none of us will get a game". Timmy said he appreciated his honesty, but would have preferred if he wasn't quite direct, maybe adding "but Timmy, you're half a chance".

Selecting a few of those guys (Ginever, Leys, Northeast) to solidify leadership and help transfer the culture to the AFL was the way to go.

There was a ton of absolutely nothing on that inaugural extended list.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Bit of national publicity via the Prez.

Indeed it is. The Tredrea Australian journey began in Charters Towers, Queensland I believe.

The Eastend has two screenings on the 21st, 6:30 and 6:45. There were plenty of seats left in the second session when I booked mine yesterday, but it didn't look like there was an introduction by the director and Mr Fiach for that one.
