Step-by-step guide on how to write an article about Port Adelaide.
by Mark Ricciuto.

1. Make an obvious statement.
2. Supporting sentence for obvious statement.
3. Another supporting sentence, unrelated to the first.
4. Idea about the topic pinched from Rucci.
5. Random sentence.
6. Reference to the Crows.
7. Reference to Port's finances.
8. Pithy one-liner pinched from Rucci.
9. Obvious statement phrased as if insightful wisdom.
10. Repeat an unfounded rumour regarding Port's finances.
11. Reference to Sando and how well he's done at the Crows.
12. Another random sentence.
13. Mention Malcolm Blight.
14. Reference to Alipate Carlile's weight.
15. Statement that implies connections within AFL circles.
16. Prediction that echoes 90% of football supporters predictions made over a month ago.
17. List of players that everyone knows.
18. Cliché about luck.
19. A few more random sentences.
20. Summary that predicts tough times ahead.
21. Subliminal reference to the Crows as 'big boys'

Just had to put it up again as this is pure Gold. It is so accurate and laughable all at once.

or;
1. make long drawn out noise like a runny fart burbling down a drunks leg
2. get someone who can write without crayon to transcribe noise to paper
3. profit

Would've thought it was more like:

1. Put head up ass
2. Inhale/ingest
3. Verbal diarrhea time

THEY say it is not safe to be at Power-hosted Showdowns. Yet, figures recently offered by the SANFL reveal the most evictions at AAMI Stadium are during Crows games. Obviously, they fight among themselves.

Over AAMI stadium hangs a pall of fear.

Ultimately, they are afraid of the shame of walking past Port fans after a loss. It's a simple as that.

Not sure if anyone watched on the couch last night ( fox footy ), a glowing report on Port. It was mentioned Port handled the J Mac game fantastically, im sure they meant on and off the field. Also the crowd got mentioned as being fantastic, something to those words. It was only a short segment, but sweet.

Also got a good wrap on 360 for the same thing and Westy got a special mention.

Port decided to take out their banter from this weeks paper,
It was going to say
No hidden contracts. Just good, hard footy.

Nice comment from Inside Football mag this week. In the Things we Learnt This Week colum - "Just when you think football clubs are soulless professional outfits along comes Port with its sensitive handling of the McCarthy tribute. His family appreciated a heart-and-soul effort", said it was all class. Also noticed that while Kane Cornes is still in the top ten for disposals in the comp he is also top five for tackles

That is one of my favourite things about this year so far...

This is a really positive article so it can go here, but it also says we lost Nick Salter at the end of the 2011 season and that our match against Carlton was our only memorable game last year (would have had North and possibly St K games there) so I guess it may belong in the shakes head thread too?

I tweeted them about this and the good thing is, for one, they actually responded but also acknowledged the error and encouraged their followers to call them out on such errors. I really enjoy what they produce. No fanfare, just solid football reporting.

Turned on 5AA and I think Rowie must have been talking to one of the Crows' assistant coaches or something about injuries and he asked "Was Henderson stiff?"

Don't know why Stupid needed to ask, it's common knowledge that Henderson pulled up a little stiff.

I hope he writes about his cat.

I hope he writes about Catboys cat.

 

[Port85]

Andrew Capel is writing how Brad Ebert went to the pound and controversially selected a tough mongrel cat over a flashy Pomeranian that can run fast but has questionable toilet training accuracy and would have to spend an entire year completing puppy pre-school before being allowed outside.

Hinkley is on the front of the AFL Record this week and there is an article about his journey to the top job at Port.

Hinkley is on the front of the AFL Record this week and there is an article about his journey to the top job at Port. ....

Does the article explain how he was the last man standing after all of the better candidates pulled out and that he was very lucky to get the job?

Been so long i can't remember what it was like losing to you guys.

Been so long i can't remember what it was like losing to you guys.

But there's always the possibility. That's the problem for the no-show fans.

Your memory is really failing you Noddy, it was only 16 April 2011. Wasn't that the year that The Advertiser ran their front page "Get Behind Our Crows" campaign?

If you can't remember 2011 then 1998 must be really fuzzy to you.

No, that was 2010. 2011 was when Neil Craig's Crows were "bulldozed by a powerful side".

Geez the AFL Record are even borrowing from the AFL theme song to sing the praise of Kenny.
