Rick's 2011 Lord Prayer

[FishingRick04]

Dear Lord

Please allow the fortunes of the Port Adelaide football club to turn and be a success.

I once loved coming onto the bigfooty forum and talking footy.

But now all we do is bash each other about things like:

The nasty legacy of Choco Williams
The merits of Chad
reference to Port Power
No finals action in an eternity
Failed game plan
The continual selection debate of Thomas and Logan
Lack of coorporate support.

Please let our former captain and all time great ruckman, inspire our boys and our club to finals fortune and ongoing success. As I don't know how much longer I can handle all the fighting.

yours sincerely

rick

P.S My heart goes out to Japan at this time too.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Amen..

Im praying on Boak, Gray, Hartlett and Salopek especially to have an injury free season.

Of course, hoping the same for all our other players aswell.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Who ya gonna call?

Call it blind loyalty or whatever, but I always try to forget the nasties of the past in preference to seeing the positives of the future. The past rarely impacts adversely on the future unless you let it happen - the club has tried to do this my a new coaching appointment and a major list change over the last 2-3 years.

I look at the possibilities of our emerging mid-field - Boak, Gray, Hartlett, Pearce, Sal, Rodan with Kornes and Dom slowly reducing their need to be the first level mids and PStewie, Moore, Broady and Jacobs learning the craft.

I look at the relative stability of the defence - Chappy, Carlile and Treggers able to hold their own, but acknowledge improvement is needed in small defender depth.

I look at the forward line variety in Schulz, Westy, Mots, Ebert and Hitchy and hopefully a future forward in Butch.

I see our rucks as suspect, only if we get injuries, with Broges and D Stew more than adequate.

Chin up son.

Welcome to the death throes of the offseason, Richard.

Look on the brightside, at least this summer the horrendous guernsey attempts ('hai guise i'm a collingwood supporter and i've always seen you in teal pinstripes with a gradient fist!!1' *beaming with genuine pride and awaiting a conference call from haysman, r.ebert and tredders*) have been kept at a minimum.

And even better, we've had a complete lack of horrendous guernseys officially released by the club.

There was a competition on the footy photoshops board for the best guernsey in the AFL, where for every round in the H&A season, the guernseys for each match would be pitted against eachother for a vote off, with a premiership table being formed by the results, and finals after that. Port Adelaide finished top and won the grand final against Melbourne. We have the best guernsey in the league at this point in time.
