Roast Generation Change

I envy those of you who grew up with the ever-successful PA!

I only started following Port upon their entry to the AFL when I was 6!

I vividly remember the outrage and disgust at our performance in '91, where we lost the elimination final. We finished 5th that year coming off a 3-peat, and of course won it again in '92. That was the level our standards were at. It was such a great time to be a supporter of this club. Now we pat Ken on the back for keeping us competitive.

To be honest, not only has the league changed but port adelaide changed, the game has changed and society has changed

Imagine a time when football was a dominant part of culture, where they were the only rock stars that came to town and your team gave everything to win.

I was at that elimination final with my "Here We Go For 4 In A Row" headband on. By the time Westies started pummeling us 10.5 year old me couldn't fathom that we were not going to win the flag that year. Certainly made up for it the following season though!

The club has never fully recovered from 2007 GF then almost folding. That is why it has gone for the stability mantra.

Hinkley has embedded that mentally weak fragility further. We perform like a club scared of success, failing on almost every big game occasion.

The perfect microcosm. Our game against Richmond in early 2019, when they were coming off back-to-back 7 goal losses and would be without Martin, Cotchin, Riewoldt, Houli & Rance.

Then something broke. The 2007 grand final destroyed something in our club and it hasn't been the same since.

It broke in 2006.

There's a long queue in front Janey

I literally have no idea how people could be excited by what we're dishing up at the moment, even though we're 5th. I mean I guess there is a small hint of hope, but we've been demonstrating we aren't actually good enough to win a flag with this group since 2015 so what hope there is, is basically waiting and hoping for some miraculous 'clicking' of our side. A light bulb moment if you will.

July 2021: Was bang on about the reality and here we are still persisting with the status quo awaiting that miraculous clicking moment.
