she probably isn't even the biggest Port fan in her family. her dad probably can't stand that as much as us. he probably posts here paying her out about it.
 
Remember when the ‘be careful what you wish for’ factor with Adelaide Oval was that it might not save us, and we’d no longer have the SANFL duty-bound to financially underpin us?

How innocent we all were.

So the guy who used to 'sit in the crowd with 15000 people' forgot what year it was.

In 2013 our home crowd avg was 27k and we made finals you funkstick.
Ask most Port supporters and they’ll tell you they were “one of the 12k supporters sitting in the rain cheering on the boys at AAMI”

Who can prove them wrong? Happy clappers do the same mental gymnastics re their own support of the club as they currently do with Ken. Makes me sick.
 
References to the atom bomb is beyond cringeworthy in any context, let alone for a sporting contest.
What mass extermination BS will they come up with for 2024, comparisons to Atilla the Hun, and for 2025 Genkis Khan and the mongols?

The thing that gets me about this angle is, even if Ken was single-handedly responsible for resurrecting the entire club — and we otherwise would’ve floated down the Derwent without his and only his input alone:

It was Hinkley who hopped in a time machine and told Choco to draft Boak/Gray/Westhoff in 2006;

Whispered in Haysman’s ear to bypass the SANFL and blow the whistle long and loud to Andrew Demetriou upon getting his first look at the books in 2008/2009;

It was Hinkley who wheeled and dealed behind the scenes with the SACA, SANFL, AFL, Port, Crows and Rann Government to get the Adelaide Oval move up, and even popped on a hard hat and helped build the new stands with his bare hands, free of charge;

And it was purely Hinkley who personally developed the Wingards, Wines and Jonases into unabashed stars of the competition, if not key pillars of the club for years to come;

Here’s the thing…

IT.
WAS.
TWELVE.
YEARS.
AGO.


Why is Port Adelaide literally the only club expected to remain a life-sentence serving prisoner of gratitude to one man for feats of enchanted magicianation that seemingly only he could procure?

Meanwhile, the media is lining up to tar, feather and trebuchet Luke Beveridge into the Werribee Sewerage Ponds when that maternalfornicator inherited a similar basketcase — surviving chiefly due to millions in white knight donations from the likes of Peter Gordon and Susan Alberti, atop their captain fleeing to Bankstown, and their other gun player escaping to Arden Street — and yet took them to their first premiership since 1954 IN THE SPACE OF TWO SEASONS.

P¡ss off, Bevo. Don’t let the door hitcha, turbo.

And here we are, a ‘lunatic fringe’ for suggesting ‘hey, it’s probably time for a fresh voice’, following eleven seasons of plop that will only require 127 years of historical precedent to be turned on its head in order to be justified.

“But but but… there were tarps on the seats!”

Goodness gracious me.
