Welcome to the Port board Amanda.......


Again it's great to see so many new Port supporters on the board.


Perhaps it might be a good time for everyone to add a little piece about themselves as an introduction to all.


Name: Stephen

Age: 36

Location: Darwin (been in the NT for 9 years - originally from Adelaide)

Occupation: Project Management/Business System Management

AFL Team: Port Adelaide

SANFL Team: Port Adelaide Magpies

Membership/Season Tickets: Full Member of both Port clubs and Cat 1 Footy Park with GF anchor as well as co-ordinator of the Port Adelaide Top End Supporters Group

Other Teams: 36'ers, any NT sporting team and any Australian side

Footy/Club History in the family: My Grandfather played for West Adelaide in the 1920's going on to captain the side and represent SA in interstate footy. He was a life member of the club and played in one of those rare premierships West have achived. My father played for West's U19's with Doug Thomas but saw the light with my mother converting him to Port Adelaide many years ago.

Favourite Premiership and why: 1977.....after the depressing loss in 1976 it was awesome to comeback and win as well as hearing Russell say those immortal words....... .............. "It's been a bloody long time but by gees it;s worth it" as he held up the Cup.

Have to also add 1990 after the crap we copped over the initial AFL bid it was great to come out and thump the Bays........as well as our 3rd in a row which has now happened 3 times during my lifetime already........


Feel free to add any other items you like as we'll expand as we go along............
 
I only have 2 claims to fame by association, I think :)

My great grandad was Bos Daly, who played for Norwood, and (I think) North. He still holds the SANFL goalkicking record for a match. He kicked 27 goals in a match (I think for Norwood).

Other than that, my cousin Mark Donovan played for Glenelg (Boo-hiss) in the 80's. He was number 32.

i have no idea what numbers my grandpa(s) were... thats something for me to ask my father about.... knowing him he'll tell me the life history and forget the real question i asked...:D

Do you know the link for the honour board that was done last year.....I couldn't find it on the site but I know it still exists as I have the link on my PC at home.

Might help with a few of the earlier captain and coaching details.

I have absolutely no idea where that went. PM me the link and I'll email Neil and tell him to put it back on, I have some graphics I need to email him anyway.

Footy/Club History in the family: My grandfather was trainer for a few years a long time ago. Two cousins played for the Magpies. Great Grandmother was life member, used to board players.

Favourite Premiership and why: 1996. We werent expected to win, especially without Poole. Grand Final Day was my 15th birthday so it made it extra special. Scott Hodges dominated which made it even better. Watching the ****y arrogant Centrals supporters who thought the game was won before the match crying after the game made it even more better!

Re: Re: Re: everyone needs introductions

Name: Mike

Age: 37

Location: Tokyo - well near Tokyo anyway. Before that, Adelaide (Glenside - the suburb, not the loony bin).

Occupation: English Teacher

AFL Team: Port Adelaide (dumb question? :))

SANFL Team: Port Adelaide Magpies

Membership/Season Tickets: Nothing at present :~(

Other Teams: Bit of a soft spot for the Dons, and I respect Brisbane (don't like em though). Redbacks and Aussie cricket team I spose. Saitama Reds (local soccer team here). Tokyo Goannas (AFL team). 36ers. Newcastle in the soccer.

Footy/Club History in the family: Like I said in my other post, Bos Daly was my great grand father. Still holds the goalkicking record in the SANFL after kicking 27 goals in a match. Mark Donovan (cousin played for Glenelg). I played VERY briefly for the Parndana footy club on Kangaroo Island (same league as Ladey comes from), and used to play a bit for the Adelaide Uni Blacks.

Favourite Premiership and why: Can't really remember one sticking out, but my favourite final (apart from beating Essendon last year), was the year Hodges won the game with a 50 metre goal from the corner of the 50m arc and the boundary. Against Norwood, wasn't it. Oh, and the 2003 premiership :)

Footy/Club History in the family:
Played country footy since I was 10.

Coached local junior side, played 170 odd games of seniors before my back blew up and I had to retire last season. (My body is still trying to convince my head of this fact)

Favourite Premiership and why:
The most recent premiership we won against Norwood - great game fitting result.

The reserves GF we won against Norwood the day Eugene kicked about 5 in the last quarter .... even though the A's lost, I ran into an old friend who was playing for the pies, and got myself back to Alberton complete with a players drink pass, and free access to the entire place :)

I've got that game on an unofficial video that the club released featuring a slightly drunk Tim Giniver and Barry Curtin commentating - that last quarter effort was pretty amazing by Eugene.
