PORT ADELAIDE: SELF-LOATHING WRAPPED IN INSECURITY

The best thing to happen to the hamlet of Port Adelaide was Stuey Dew eating its serial killers.

The AUKUS subs deal has trumped this.

Port Adelaide will be the repository, suppository if you prefer, of the subs’ nuclear waste. The resulting mutations will double the IQ of the slack-jawed frothers who try to hum to INXS.

David Koch is furious with Jack Watts.


Imagine detesting your club's jumper? The frothers have form: sequentially abandoning blue and white, pink and white, magenta and blue – all lovely combos for a 4-star Kuta resort towel – before adopting their prison drab for a stint. Several times a year, these relevance mongers whine because they chose throw-cushion-teal. As my late father said, ‘what a pack of d*ckheads!’



3 REASONS WHY WE ARE WINNING – Off the field


Jarrod Wade

He looks like the plumber who fixed our sewage pipe on Xmas Eve for a fair price. He has a peoples’ beard. And he has the team capable of outlasting anyone.


Daicosery

Meet the Daicoses: Peter, Maddie, Nick, Josh and Colleen after Nick was drafted last year.


Seeing Peter hug the whole team as they entered the changing rooms last week was magnificent. This family is cultural gold within the club.

This bloke can coach.


WHY WE WILL WIN – On the field

Scott Pendlebury is so smart he could get 30 possessions, coach the team, and teach the frother’s cheer squad to read by three-quarter-time.

Tom Mitchell will be the bargain recruit of 2023. He extracts like a Double Bay dentist and is the perfect mentor for our junior mids.

Norm Smith is Jordy’s destiny. Another 3 goals this week and a calm night on Insta.

Nick Daicos to kick a couple as Fly out-manoeuvres Potato Head’s tagger.

McStay, I’m still on your bandwagon.

Another entertaining day of run and attack through the corridor.

2 in a row

WBW, reading your teams reminds of the days when because 3AW was the only station calling our game, I was forced to listen to Rex Hunt's commentary. Much of the time, his call left me with no idea at any given time on which part of the ground the game was being played, or which team or player was in possession of the ball.

Players would be referred to by nicknames which may have been common knowledge to Rex and his fans, but not for someone like me who avoided at all costs being subjected to Hunt's commentary. Who is 'The mediator' or 'Oysters Kilpatrick' or 'The cranium'? Why is Dr Christian Barnard now playing for Essendon?

So whether you like it or not, you have something in common with Rex Hunt. The difference this time is that at least I am familiar with the names of my own players.

(On the name Hunt, I recall back in the 70s, attending a teacher's protest. A chap named Hird headed up the public service arm of the Victorian Education Department, while Alan Hunt was minister. One of the better placards read 'Hird's a turd, but Hunt is something else again!)

I worked with someone named Hunt for a few years, we called him Uke

You had a dial with no 3KZ, 3LO etc. Lucky you never got to The Captain and the Major. That was the station that specialised description devoid of information.
 
I can recall the frustrating experience, back in the day, of listening to my team's match when it was only broadcast by 3DB or 3UZ or some other racing-dominated radio station i.e. 3KZ, 3LO or 3AW weren't covering the Pies match. It was beyond bad/frustrating listening to the broadcast and just getting into it, when the announcer would say "Crossing now to Horsham for the 6th" :drunk:

The internet hadn't been invented so you couldn't even follow the scores live e.g. Flash Score

I still have memory times of the days when there were 6 matches, they were all at 2 pm on Saturday, the radio stations had a ballot for who would cover which and some would have no live coverage, and round the ground scores were up on the scoreboards with A v B C V D codes in the footy record.

And a pie and chips and a beer didn't need a second mortgage.

I had to listen to all of them at some time or another. I did listen to the captain and the major, and they were probably as uninformative as you suggest. I breathed a sigh of relief when 3LO had our game. Wasn't Harry Beitzel also on AW prior to Rex Hunt?
