Burgess was only with us the one year in 2007? correct?

2005-07 from memory. Andrew Russell left straight after the flag.

I like these guys as an alternative source on all stuff footy. Balanced & accurate article on the PAFC albeit rather fluffy.

Fantastic. He is going to get some grief from his teamates about taking the rubbish out though!

Good pick up Killer

Excellent article with no reinforcing of the negative stereotyping we've had to put up with recently

Will keep my eye on this site

I could have sworn I heard his booming voice release a cheer of elation when Ollie tackled David Roden into the turf.

LOL at the misspelling of Rohdin. No one gets it right.

Had a small tear myself reading this - Ollie must feel like he's on top of the world

 

[Steve Dore]

Nice article.

At least she didn't call him Auguste.

Fantastic. He is going to get some grief from his teamates about taking the rubbish out though!

He took the trash out on the MCG as well. Busy boy OUR Ollie

Nod to AFL360 tonight.

Great promo of the lead up to Saturdays J-Mac tribute.

 

[Powerstufff]

Think you'll find he was there for the entire match In any case a brilliant move by Port.

Supposedly the material will be released in a couple of tranches on Fox Footy. I don't know if in individual shows or as segments of existing shows. As for brilliant, retrospectively yes. Can you imagine however if we were the Melbourne in that equation? I wouldn't be so keen on it being released then.

Yep we have had 4 great days on AFL 360. Kochie on 3AW was good value.

Was it like this in late 1996 and early 1997 when we first entered, in Adelaide media? or did Blighty steal the limelight?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I'm even wondering whether this is an AFL directive to expose us more on a national stage ?

We've certainly made it easier for them with our flawless pre season and Rd 1 result... But I cant help but think that this is being done on purpose.

I wonder whether it is Kochie's Eastern seaboard group using their influence.

Step-by-step guide on how to write an article about Port Adelaide.
by Mark Ricciuto.

1. Make an obvious statement.
2. Supporting sentence for obvious statement.
3. Another supporting sentence, unrelated to the first.
4. Idea about the topic pinched from Rucci.
5. Random sentence.
6. Reference to the Crows.
7. Reference to Port's finances.
8. Pithy one-liner pinched from Rucci.
9. Obvious statement phrased as if insightful wisdom.
10. Repeat an unfounded rumour regarding Port's finances.
11. Reference to Sando and how well he's done at the Crows.
12. Another random sentence.
13. Mention Malcolm Blight.
14. Reference to Alipate Carlile's weight.
15. Statement that implies connections within AFL circles.
16. Prediction that echoes 90% of football supporters predictions made over a month ago.
17. List of players that everyone knows.
18. Cliché about luck.
19. A few more random sentences.
20. Summary that predicts tough times ahead.
21. Subliminal reference to the Crows as 'big boys'

or;
1. make long drawn out noise like a runny fart burbling down a drunks leg
2. get someone who can write without crayon to transcribe noise to paper
3. profit

Do you honestly believe that the media would give us good press just because the AFL gave them a directive to do so?

Andy D : Graham, the AFL would like you and Stephen to give Port Adelaide lots of positive press now that they are going to get their licence from the SANFL and we are going to be bank rolling them until they get back on their feet financially.
Wrinkles : No worries Andrew. Stephen and I have always had the utmost respect for the cash strapped basket case Port Powers Football Club.

I wonder if eastern advisory group member and News Ltd CEO and Foxtel and Fox Sports board member Kim Williams had had a chat to a few people at his organisations.

Wrinkles has been on annual/long service leave for most of the last 4 weeks.

Yeah and I notice that Kane has been in reasonably good form during this period. For the sake of your son wrinkles, please take the next 25 weeks off!

Can't say I've noticed.

Wharfie, that's an 8 pointer in the Rag Slam PAFC competition - be careful, you might just beat Felstupid and Crapel.

This is a really positive article so it can go here, but it also says we lost Nick Salter at the end of the 2011 season and that our match against Carlton was our only memorable game last year (would have had North and possibly St K games there) so I guess it may belong in the shakes head thread too?

We had a lot of memorable games last year. Trouble is, most of them were bad memories.
