After our loss to Essendon, I felt the urge to speak my heart out on the completion of Port's self-destructing end of season. The link is below.

The AFLW and Port: name, colours, and team song

Image
Earlier this week I have awaken inspired. I couldn't resist making a sketch of a song's lyrics for our future AFLW team. Now, English is not my first language, and I have no musical talent. Hence, I have no idea whether my effort is good, bad, or somewhere in between. I would like your help to improve it. That's why I'm also telling what I had in mind while writing it. Context matters! Disclaimer: My posts are mostly half-joke, half-serious anyway. So, please, take this one accordingly. --- The Inspiration Port Adelaide's Identity: Gospel, Name, Colours The Port Adelaide Football Club has a clear identity. This identity is anchored in our constitutional documents – which, by the way, have nothing to do with the actual club constitution. To avoid confusion, let's call those documents as " The Port's Gospel ". So, as I understand it, The Port's Gospel has 4 parts, each comprised by one distinct document: (a) " The Creed " [...

THE BEHIND POSTS [II.05] (Miscellaneous)

Image
This week: Hinkley to North; Frampton; Port Rising Up; Robbie, Jonas, and the Maggies; and Extra Finals Round. Bonus: Latino v Hispanic in US Law. ---- Hinkley to North No, not Siberia. Please, I like the guy. “North” is North Melbourne FC. It is probably a good idea. There are coaches really good in putting houses back in order, and Hinkley seems to be one. He also seems to be a players’ coach, and this could help North bring in some talent. This idea could be the best for all parts involved. I mean, all but Polec and Pittard, probably. Oh, well… ---- Playing Frampton It took to long for Frampton to be called up both this season and the last. On this, someone has said: “ Last season, people were calling for Frampton to be selected as a ruck. No one called for him to be selected as a key forward. ” That’s true, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. Meanwhile, Dixon, who isn't a ruck either, was getting murdered. The problem was always the structure. It i...

Boak's 350th and the Need of a 'Dekochication' for Port Adelaide​

Image
Far-West Footy is back! At least, for now. Last weekend, it was  Boak's 350th AFL game for the club. It was also  Hinkley's 250th. In the midst of the celebrations leading to the game, the coach has said that the former captain is responsible for " Port  almost  still being around ". Let's be honest with ourselves here. It's true.  Here I talk why this is so and argue on Koch's responsiblity for it. --- Uruguayana, March 21st, 2024​ I agree with Hinkley. I know it has been quite a long time since I have said those words, but I try to be a just man. If I hear something with which I concur, I recognize it regardless of the person who had said it. Hinkley has said, in celebration of Boak's 350th AFL game for the club, that the former captain is responsible for " Port almost still being around ". Let's be honest with ourselves here. It's true. Despite all the effort from the current regime, the essence of our club is not complete...
