News Stevie Motlop signs with North Warrnambool

[TeeKray]

Up and down in his time here but arguably has the most memorable Showdown goal for Port and the most memorable Showdown mark for Port (in the PBs no less). Add in two excellent finals against his old team and we've got some great memories. Thanks Mots!

 

[Us against the rest]

Good on ya Motts, will always remember that showdown goal.

 

[Us against the rest]

A decent coach and who knows.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Enigmatic and mercurial, his best was a football treat.

He could be an infuriating player but when he was on Mots was great to watch.

All the best in your retirement Mots, your highlights reel will be something special.

 

[chiwigi]

He was a barometer player a lot of the time. Icing on the cake, just like in that Showdown.

Was given a very difficult role early on as the 'quarterback but forward', where we tried to play everything through him.

Lovely player when on and given a role he is suited to.

[Windy Cindy]

Well played mots. Loved the shake and bake in the showdown.

Will miss ya elite skills..

Was cooked in the end.

 

[Loony Juice]

All the best Mots

Gives me hope that kern is going, more than anything else I've read or heard

Probably got a few games he shouldn't have in the last couple of years but over his time at Port was a legend of a player who stood up in big games. Finger twirl might be the greatest onfield moment since that Hamish Hartlett

All the best mots and thanks for the memories.

[Memphis]

Thanks Mots.

I had the best view of that showdown winner, what a time!!!!

 

[Mr39]

All the best Mots. That showdown goal to win was a ripper.

 

[PAFC66]

Probably for the best. His best seemed behind him a couple years ago.
He had his moments, particularly in some big games but ultimately that was a massive trade blunder and Geelong who'll likely win the flag this year will be very pleased with that one.

 

[bringbackbucky]

All the best Mots! Gave us some of the best AO memories there are…

Shame he falls short of getting his name on the locker at Port.

 

[manureid]

Probably for the best. His best seemed behind him a couple years ago.
He had his moments, particularly in some big games but ultimately that was a massive trade blunder and Geelong who'll likely win the flag this year will be very pleased with that one.

What did we trade him for?

 

[Malibu#27]

What did we trade him for?

Nothing (Free Agent)

 

[VineValerian]

His best times were too few and far between, but he was a Port player, and so respect to him for his contribution to our great Club.

Sadly, time has passed him by, and he needed to be "harder", but always good to watch for the spectacular

That Showdown goal at the death was etched in my memory for eternity

All the best for the future, mate.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

What did we trade him for?

They got compo that was interlinked with Tim Kelly and GAJ, who aren't in their side this year. I can't see the link that says Geelong won the trade.

 

[manureid]

Nothing (Free Agent)

Exactly (was trying to work out why PAFC66 said Geelong had won that trade)
