Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 14

[shewho]

Have always said, they should have stayed at Arctic Park.

Too late, I’m afraid. It sank into the swamp.

 

[JimmyBC]

The only good thing about Football Park was the playing surface and dimensions

 

[TheFVK]

Why didn't Adelaide stay at their beloved Footy Park if they loved it so much then. Why follow us?

 

[DaTBird187]

When the Football Park precinct was one of the best in Australia, it was a vibrant, exciting place to be.

Yeah it was great going to the Hungry Jacks before and after games as it was literally the only thing open for miles.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Shhhh that's enough. They might wisen up and do something about it.

Like what? Go to court and demand custody of Port's history? Without the nasty treachery bits of course.

Wrinkles had this to say today...


"...the move from West Lakes to Adelaide Oval has isolated the Crows.

When the Football Park precinct was one of the best in Australia, it was a vibrant, exciting place to be.

When those clubrooms, gym facilities and administration offices were the best in Australia it was a great place to come to work.

But the Adelaide Football Club and the SANFL were blinded-sided by the move to Adelaide Oval.

It’s never been the same."


It's all Port's and Kevin Foley's fault

Wrinkles gas become a complete parody of himself. Him and KG actually need to be Put down.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Lynda Loades in that thread ...

the States colour.s,, than one selfish club like Port. who

This is god-tier punctuation.

 

[JimmyBC]

What exactly does Graham miss about the 'glory days' of the Football Park precinct? I mean it's not like he was flipping gourmet rissoles on the barbie 'n sipping chardonnay in the car park before Crow games.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Brodie Smith was on the news yesterday and was asked about McLeod's comments. He said he was saddened because he was such a huge fan of Andy but it is hard because the crows don't have a history like Port Adelaide.

 

[Smithy7]

Well they do believe that they were formed by the SANFL, and they can claim all of the other SANFL Club's history, for themselves... Oh right.

 

[TeeKray]

I understand why they would feel that way. Football Park was the perfect insular, archaic bubble for an organisation like the Crows to exist within. This is our little part of our little town and nobody else is welcome here, even the other team that plays its home games here. Adelaide Oval is so much more open and progressive by comparison, everything they aren't as a football club.

That's what I miss. Sausage sizzle, bread & sauce, and a chat, before going into Port games.

Vibrant and exciting LOL

AAMI's looking a bit forlorn these days...

They want to get away from West Lakes now, because people are getting to build houses around there. And the Crows can't stand to have those people around them. There's no way that their Aquatic Centre plan is going to be good for the public at all.

Poor Brodie. We'll take you back mate. How long until he's a free agent?

They are like nomads, wandering aimlessly, trying desperately to find a home.

They had the ******* benefit for years of their dirty fingerprint all over West lakes and now, rather than accepting that AO is for both teams, they want to have their home base in the city as close to AO as possible.

So now they are talking of taking over the WCH site?

Geez I bloody despise them.

Meanwhile at Alberton, the home of Port....life goes on as normal.

Oh and the new development actually has a section of buildings called the Nineteenth Man...ugh..I feel like puking every time I drive past it.lol..so they are leaving the Nineteenth Man behind...in spirit and physically.

lol, if Andrew McLeod doesn't feel welcome at the Camry Crows' Westpac Centre of Excellence it is Port Power's fault.

At least Ambassador Wrinkles makes no secret that he is writing that article as an official Camry Crows' Ambassador. Puts the entire article into context for anyone who has been living under a rock since 1990.

I only ever saw them once at the Adelaide Oval, but a family set up a barbecue on that little piece of grass outside the Memorial Drive tennis courts. Perhaps they were moved on?

Thebarton Oval is the way to go in my humble opinion!

 

[wannabejack]

Funny how in previous years Port was compared to the Crows and it was suggested we should be more like them.

The grass has since moved on! The Port cheer squad have had regular pre-game barbecues on Pinky Flat in recent years. There's a potential business opportunity (with council approval): hire out portable barbecues/chairs/tables on Pinky Flat before the games.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

I still do it. BBQ in the northern car park, beers and a chat. Occasionally have a meal and beers in one of the pubs, just as enjoyable.

 

[charcolechaddy]

Is there a concerted media push to make Adelaide look like schmucks this week?

to be fair they have been asking for it for a long time.
