Port defeat South

[Macca19]

A hard earned but easy win to Port today bu 20 odd points against South Adelaide at Alberton today. The game was played in bursts by each club, with neither club dominating for an extended period of time. The most dominate period was Ports third quarter, when they kicked 6 goals in the first 15 minutes of the quarter, before letting South kick 3 at the end of hte quarter. Port ended with 8 goals in that quarter. Port never play overly well against South, and the scores are always tight.
Umpiring was ordinary...we have a new "Port Hater" umnpire to join Richard Williams, whos name is Kym Slaven, who is absolutly useless.

There were a few stand outs for Port...Alfy Steed had a heap of the ball and was one of the best. Tony Brown had another 30 odd possesions in a dominating display. Burgoyne was great in defence, and Pooley and Rhino were great in the ruck. Ormond Allen ended with 4 or 5 goals and nearly took the biggest mark in the history of the sport...he jumped up 6 foot in the air to get on an opponents shoulders, he got his hands to the ball, had a fair bit of it, but dropped it on the way down. Phil Mcguiness kicked 5 in a fiar display of form by the tigerman. David Brown was in great form as well. Two young guys - Shane Homes and Nathan Mcdowall were great when they were on the field as well. Our defence was reasonable all day with Tom Carr and burgoyne the best defenders. The traitorous Eugene Warrior played reasonable as well and did a handful of good things. He has a long way to go to be called a port player in my book again tho.

South do not have a bad side (no matter what easty says)...they have a lot of current and ex AFL players (koster, ellen, sampson, talbot, Murray x2, Bishop, Perrie, Brogan, Crawshay, Doughty) and played well all day. They gave their all and only faultered in that 15 minute period when Port kicked 6 goals. They will make the finals this year...thir midfield has a lot of run, and they have a few real good marking targets up forward. Derek Murray was probably best on ground for south, with clay sampson.

Bad luck, Panthers. 20 points at Alberton is not embarrasing.

I think South are a great chance to make the finals and Greg Anderson is doing an excellent job by the sound of things.

All the Panthers have to do is watch out for the Bays, surely they are the sleeping giants.

Still going on about your only success this season.

I thought you were a Glenelg supporter?

Alberton's a prick of a place to watch footy, but it doesn't stop people from going there to watch their team. Calling yourself a "supporter" is a complete contradiction. You obviously don't even go to games, so how can you call yourself a supporter?

As for Unley being a "prick of a place to watch footy", that's just a crock of shit. Unley's easily one of the nicest ovals to watch football in the league. Have you even been there to comment?!? I doubt it.

Probably beacause Glenelg have a notorious lack of success there.

Unley would be one of the nicest ovals in the league, sure it's small, but a small area in this day and age is ideal. Makes for a better atmosphere.

Alberton isnt that bad, at least everyone isnt loaded in to a small bloody area like at unley. When they first went back to unley you werent even allowed out to the huddles ! what a joke !

Make up your mind Easty. The first week i was here you stated that Alberton is the worst place to watch football from. Talk about changing your mind to suit your arguments

I think you overlooked Chris Hall. I was very impressed with him, and on what I saw today will get promoted to the Power list. To me the highlight was the First quarter shirk by South number 11, Michael Doughty. This was the biggest shirk I can ever remember seeing. About 20 minute mark between wing and Port's half forward on outer side. Darryl Poole ran at him to shepherd the Port player with the ball. He went off about 5 minutes later - to change his pants some fans suggested !

So I take it we won't be seeing you in 4 weeks? Such a shame.

How are the Bays going again? You haven't regaled us with tales of how good your club is recently. How do you think Glenelg are going to drag themselves out of their slump? .. or are they not in a slump and are in fact in their rightful position?

yes we are in a slump but it is just a matter of the team playing as a "team" and not as an individual which is the current problem. On paper we have a good side, now its up to them if they want to produce results as a team.

As ****ing usual, you've completely missed the point, yet again.

You call yourself a "supporter", yet you've just stated that you're not going to go to one of your games, because you don't like the oval!!

Absolutely pathetic. And you expect us to take you seriously...

For your information, you cretin. Anyone who is in the slightest bit familiar with recent football history would be well aware that when Sturt left Unley in 85 (influenced by the SANFL's ground rationalisation plan) that the UCC were of the belief that league football was lost to the area forever and embarked on a reconstruction program. The redevelopment of the oval involved ripping up the terraces and creating a community reserve.

The logistics involved in restoring the Unley Oval to a league venue were enormous. The temporary facilities used on game day at the time were not able to cope with spectators invading the playing arena.

To have all the hard work ruined by meat-heads such as yourself would negate the efforts put in by many people and re-inforced the negativity towards league football shown by the yuppies who had moved in after Sturt's temporary relocation to Adelaide.

Apologieth if you mithed one of McGuineth'th quarter time rantth.

Tragic history Easty...you should look at Glenelgs first 27 years:
(8 team competition)
8,8,8,8,8,7,7,7,7,7,6,7,6,1,8,7,8,8,8,8,6,7,8,7,6,5

that speaks for itself
11 wooden spoons in 25 years

You dont know a thing about the history of our club, the hardships in those early years when we were starting up, all the other clubs were established already. Once again you dont know what its like to support a struggling team so butt out

 

[Blues_Brat]

You bag us, yet we never had the 'starting up' hassles that Glenelg had.

At least you admit that Glenelg are struggling, suppose we are getting somewhere.
