David Penberthy, editor of the Sunday Mail, writing in today's 'Tiser;

.... This year Melbourne will play Brisbane in Darwin in Round 17 but other than that the best the Top End gets in terms of first grade is a handful of pre-season games. ....
So Port playing Western Bulldogs at TIO in round 10 doesn't count as a "first grade" AFL game? :confused:

I doubt very much if there is any malice in what "Gilly" says in regard to calling us PP.

He seems like too nice a bloke to be nasty.
Gilbert has always referred to us as Port Power, but that's what we were known as back then when he was around. I have mates who have been PAFC supporters all their life and still slip up. Doesn't bother me too much to be honest (however I always pull opposition supporters up).

Warren 'I've never forgiven Port for making me look bad by winning the 1994 premiership' Partland managed this gem reporting on Andrew Moore's best-on-ground by a mile 37 possession, 11 clearance game for North Adelaide.

Dripping bitterness

George Thring has been outstanding for the Roosters this season and he was again prominent as the sweeper across half back while Power-listed Andrew Moore got his hands to plenty of possessions.
However, Moore let himself down late in the quarter when he gave away a free kick and then a 25m penalty which resulted in a Panthers goal.

Our mate Warren Partman could join the ongoing therapy group that has met regularly at a near city location since THAT game in 1994. At least the regular group are ex players, albeit extremely hung up ex players, who have progressed to the point where they can say the word Port now as in 'glass of ' after a meal instead of 'red fortified wine'. Just be careful not to say the word nip because he's the bastard who got that f!@#$%g free in the 1st quarter that............

Had to laugh when reading the initial article on tonight's game on the afl website - was just a tad raw...

Also, anyone else watching at home catch the reference to Glass being a Freo player that seemed to go unnoticed by any of the other commentators? In the second half if I remember correctly

Does it feel to you like Adelaide now and the Advertiser are trying to make it seem like top 8 is a guarantee for Port and the team is one of the best in the league.
Just so that when Port do inevitably loose a match against a big side they can have articles saying how Port fan's got ahead of themselves and how we were just pretenders this year.

The post articles after Port's wins like this
"It's official - Power's the real deal after thrilling comeback win over West Coast Eagles"

Cue all the Crows supporters being all "BUT WHO HAVE YOU BEATEN!???!" and directing hate at the PAFC supporters because they believe we are already planning out where to hang our 2013 premiership guernseys.

Then once the loss comes it will be massive beat up articles by Adelaide now.
Then the Crows fans will have a massive circle...... in the comments section for weeks.

Yep. As evidenced by their journalists continuously asking Kenny about finals etc. he plays it beautifully of course, "no limitations on this group" and "it s all about the process / behaviours". Gives them no sound bites or quotes to use against us, so they just make up ther own!

I cried in me cornflakes when I saw poor snookums Walker on the front page with his leg banged up: I cried and cried and cried.

It was only when I got to the last page and saw that some bloke called Cornes had played a quarter of a millennium games that I nearly stopped my sobbing.
