Sounds like a great player who made the difference in a few big games and the losers at that time haven't forgotten.

David Grainger was recruited by Port around 1975/6 from St. Kilda, played at mainly Centre Half Forward.
He played the game very hard, and usually outside the laws of the game, but us Port people loved Grave Danger, he was cleared back to St. Kilda for the 1979 season, same year Russell Ebert and Graham Cornes played for Nth. Melb. & Mark Dawson played for Port.
Grainger was then cleared back to Port for the 1980 season, had some suspensions, played in the 1980 & 81 G/F teams, knocked out Neville "Twiggy" Caldwell in the '81 G/F, and tried to kill Glenelg in the '82 Prelim.
Anyway, he says he was acting under instructions from Jack Cahill, probably was, anyway, there is civil actions in the courts now, so some resolution will occur soon.
For all his faults, the man could really play

Easty,
The man has apologized, be it five minutes after, or twenty years....and in the most public of forums.........
Good on him and may he fair well.....
By the way he was the meanest thug I ever saw on a football field...Robbie Muir was an understudy !!!!!!!!
He could play however..but he just had his priorities wrong....

I do consider myself a Victorian; I left Adelaide in 1965. Dad and his brother played for the Bays in the early twenties, which I think was when they were first admitted into the league as a senior side. One of my uncles was club secretary from 1937 to 1946.

I to am a Glenelg supporter and David Grainger deserves everything he gets.David blames Jack Cahill for sending him out on "missions" on the field and being the fall guy well if your prepared to do the crime do the time and whatever that brings with it.Neville Caldwell to this day and beyond still gets migraine headaches due to Graingers on field thuggery so apology not accepted.We have a saying in football "what go`s on the field stay`s on the field" so Grainger stop trying to clear your self off your past and dragging it all up again or you will be seen as a not only as a hit from behind thug but as a dobber on his coach ,team and club
Who? Dave Granger? By all accounts, he sure is!

Fair enough.
it was a courageous effort by dermie and in the end the move probably did backfire.

These Glenelg supporters have selective memories - wasn't it Fred Phillis who king hit Timmy Evans before the first bounce in a final one year?
Port Magpies: more premierships in the 1990's than Glenelg - ever.

Easty ive been a member for many years, you just gotta love that black jumper with that gold stripe, go the Tig`s.

Glenelg. A joke no matter which way you look at it. The jumper is most appropriate with that big yellow stripe on it. Tigers? Pussycats more like.
Port 37 premierships, Glenelg 4
Head to head (all) - Port 157 wins, Glenelg 53
Grand Finals head to head - Port 5, Glenelg 1
And Timmy Evans kicked over 100 goals more than Fred Phillis.

you can have all the flags but no matter how many you have you will always be known as a club with morons supporting it, eg. one day at alberton we saw this minda woman put one finger on a nostril and blow snot all over the concrete of the stand ! how feral is that ! all the minda port supporters seem to swap sides too !
Easty, how come this post has gone from a thug named Granger, to supporters of other clubs?
