Was more in regards to being liable for damage that happens due to the player hitting the ground.
Pulling out the plastic or cork inserts from a Coke bottle to reveal the heads and getting pissed off because you got another South Adelaide nobody again - knowing no one at Woodville Primary School would want to trade with you for that shit.
Sticking the bottle top heads on the cardboard folder that Coke distributed as part of the promotion. Not giving a feck about the other clubs, just wanting to fill all the spots on the Port column. Jack Cahill as captain at the top of course.
Yep, I remember FF. We've lost a lot of the local identity of this state as everything has gone national, which is why the history of Port and taking our history to the national stage of the AFL matters.
Kinda like how if a car is broken into, the owner takes no responsibility by making sure its locked, windows up etc?
That's not the case by the way, if a cars unlocked or the windows are down, too bad, got to protect yourself, even if that means getting into a scorching hot car.
The cork inserts were a bastard to remove. I scratched a few heads with those.
I remember footy cards (I think) in the old Peters Neapolitan ice cream too.

Don't get me started on ice cream. As a kid we had 'Amscol Footy Colours' available in all of the 10 SANFL team colours.
A 4" slab of inch thick black and white ice cream loaded with sugar marketed at kids and sold in primary school canteens. Yum. Dentists loved it.
The marketing of SANFL clubs, teams and players was everywhere as a kid - even Kellog's Corn Flakes had SANFL player badges in them at one time. And I'm pretty sure not one cent of the proceeds went to the players themselves.Yes, that's it. I just remembered ice cream. Amscol in footy colours. That was the life!

Of ALL TIME...or at least since 1997

In the OrwellFL people who just wore PB jumpers don't count.That’s a disgrace. Send emails to the club complaining and asking they again lobby the VFL for the clubs history to be appropriately acknowledged.
Bloody hell, even I'm not old enough to remember half of that stuff!
I'm not yet old enough to not be able to remember it.Bloody hell, even I'm not old enough to remember half of that stuff!

Let the lad who wrote the Port Adelaide part of the article know that Russell Ebert is Ports goat.That’s a disgrace. Send emails to the club complaining and asking they again lobby the VFL for the clubs history to be appropriately acknowledged.
