Club History Port to wear prison bar guernsey twice in 2020

[Work Hardery]

'Guy' who saved us from being the laughing stock of the league with arguably the most important qtr effort of any....

He's not the only.

Why should we hate him for it? People can like PAFC for reasons different to your own.

Great players can still have dumb opinions.

 

[finbarr]

No. The jist is people can and should be allowed to support PAFC for the reason of their choice.

They shouldn't be abused because of it.

Abused? You're just making stuff up now.

 

[PAFC_1870]

True but he could respect the clubs history.

I understand that, but each to their own, he's a Port legend, everyone's entitled to their opinions, regardless of how we feel.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Abused? You're just making stuff up now.

Do I have to quote every post where I and others were?

 

[PAFC_1870]

Laughing stock? That's a bit rich.

4 straight finals epic failures? How'd you reckon that'd look? It'd probably be on par with 2007....

Just post one. I haven't seen every post in the thread. Happy to be corrected.

Again, i think the mythology surrounding his performance that night has gone to slightly over the top levels.

I was there in that half of the ground, obviously the 100th helped us too, but if he wasnt there that 1st qtr we'd be in deep s**t with the typical stage fright we were infamous for at the time.

I was there too, as were probably most of the people here. The idea he single handeldly held back a St Kilda tide is a bit over the top. St Kilda came out of the blocks very fast as was clearly their plan. But momentum shifts in football occur all the time and they were always going to go off the boil and we were always going to work our way into it. I'm not saying James was rubbish, but him single handedly saving us from embarrassment is a complete myth. In fact, i don't recall a single effective Roger James disposal in that first quarter.

 

[finbarr]

Anyway, we're not here to argue about Roger James' performance in the 2004 preliminary final. But you seem to have elevated his opinion, a staunch Norwood man, on Port Adelaide's history above the opinions of people like Tim Ginever, George Fiacchi or Warren Tredrea, because of a few of his deeds on the football field. What makes the opinion of Roger James so special?

That we should be inclusive of other people's views.

We aren't in the position where we can pick and choose who follows us, we need fans, we need growth.

They can follow Norwood their whole life and Power in the AFL, that doesn't make them any less.

It’s a bullshit opinion IMO and offensive to our great club and supporters. That’s my opinion.

 

[PAFC_1870]

It’s a bulls**t opinion IMO and offensive to our great club and supporters. That’s my opinion.

Did both Cornes say the same thing at different stages?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Ha! Those shonks use a 72:28 ratio IIRC.

RussellEbertHandball

2018 that's what they used. Haven't seen the 2019 figures. KT didn't bother doing his usual explanation of why 58,000+ became 51,951

He was by far our best, most influential first quarter player in an insipid first 15 minutes.

Because he is talking crap !!!!!!

I could care less if a Norwood supporter wants to follow Port Adelaide in the AFL

But this club was established in 1870. If you don't buy into that you can take a hike as far as i'm concerned.

You seem to be really big on inclusiveness. How do you feel about the Norwood (SANFL) Port Adelaide (AFL) supporter trying to ram down our throats that we're actually supporting a "new" club? That's the very essence of divisiveness.

Guys like Roger James & Josh Francou were the last of the SANFL guys with that ingrained hatred of the Magpies, I can overlook it with those guys it's almost like they had to rationale it that way to themselves to function.

A Port legend ? You are absolutely delusional.

Never argued to the contrary... My username is proof.

I'm happy for them too... I want a bigger supporter base.

Oh gimme a ******* break.

Yeah, he's a nobody...

This thread has more detours than the Adelaide City Council.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Anyone else find it interesting that the numbers for AFC and PAFC are suspiciously close to the magic formula that SMA uses to determine the Oval Members to each club?

Roy Morgan reckons it's 64:36

What does the SMA use again? Isn't it 65:35?

Surely they wouldn't be taking Mr Morgan's formula and just applying that to their numbers, would they? (lol, of course they would)

Dug up my spreadsheet from KT's announcements each year

2014 specific numbers 8,206 SMA members specific allocation of 2,928 ie 35.68%

2015 specific numbers 8,009 SMA members specific allocation of 2,883 ie 36.00%

2016 generic 33% of generic 8,000 SMA members (works out to 2,640)

2017 generic 28% of generic 8,000 SMA members (works out to 2,240)

2018 specific allocation of 2,252 of generic 8.000 (works out to be 28.15%)

2019 no announcement

I don't care what Roger James thinks about our heritage tbh he's a still a bigger Port Adelaide legend in my eyes than that tagging chip scab 300 gamer on SEN.
