Maybe I've missed something here - what exactly do Port fans have to be grateful about?
- Grateful that we won't win the wooden spoon?
- Grateful that we can beat crap teams on a regular basis?
- Grateful that we manage to challenge good teams - conveniently forgetting the fact that we hardly ever beat them?
The only thing I'm currently grateful about is that I'll be saving hundreds of dollars on membership fees for next year.
The other thing is, footy didn’t begin in 2013.
Since the 2004 premiership:
• ‘dream final’
• ‘12th and loving it’
• 119
• pr¡ckteasing mediocrity of 08-09
• the nadir of 10-12
• the respectable promise of 13-14
• prickteasing mediocrity of 15-19
• a surprise minor premiership amidst an asterisk-laden minefield culminating in a heartbreaking home PF loss most of us weren’t allowed to actually go and see (I did)
• a follow-up home PF ending in our heaviest home defeat since 2011
• 0-5 start. more mediocrity.
Port fans have been through the absolute ringer for the better part of 20 years.
Ungrateful? Impatient? Unrealistic?
If anything, it’s a surprise the joint isn’t being burned down as we speak.
