Round 20 Preview [Radio Podcast]



Rick Nieuwenhoven, from PortFanRadio, had the audacity to invite me to have a podcast of my own. I had never said "yes," until finding a perfect co-host. It was Thiago Vacite (Colorado and Crow) who came up if the concept for the show, actually. I just told him that it was possible...
---

With Rick's consent, I have hosted the "BigFooty Port Adelaide Podcast" for a whole hour before this week's Showdown. Thiago, unfortunately, couldn't make it. So, our "Rivals Without Borders" will have to wait a bit more to debut. For those interested in listening to the show, here is the link:https://www.spreaker.com/user/portfanradio/rivals-without-borders-gremiopowers-show

Next week, the first "Rivals Without Borders." Stay tuned!

“SHOVE THIS!” (Showdown 44: Port 95 - 90 West Lakes)

I’ve managed to save my reputation with the In-Laws and to introduce the game to my younger kid, but I’m not sure whether Adelaide is still standing. --- The alarm unusually rang at 4am on Saturday. I was still sleepy when I turned it off, trying to grasp what was going on. On the screen of my phone, it was written: “Showdown”. I stood up, grabbed my phone, and left the bedroom as quiet as I could not to disturb the kids. My wife was in the bedroom next door, with a sister; while the hosts, my In-Laws, were a bit further. I was already proud of my ninja skills, when, almost at the last couple of stairs a second and a third alarm rang simultaneously, sounding like footy sirens. Being a son-in-law is a curse! “Power-Crows is about to start,” said the messages from both AFL’s and Port’s apps. I held my breath. No sound was coming from upstairs, and I began to breathe again. I opened the WatchAFL app and reached for the earphones… Only to find nothing. It was dark, an

THE BEHIND POSTS [I.2] (Miscellaneous)

This week: The Creed; Koch; Co-Captaincy; Tom Brady; My Lineup Changes; Ruckmen; and Game of Thrones ---- What is Port Adelaide FC? The Creed is probably my favourite part of the Port Adelaide F.C. I love it fullheartedly! It is full of a virtue called "magnanimity." It has a balance between arrogance and humility. The Creed and our mottos are parts of a same whole. They share a common spirit – the belief that We DESERVE to WIN. The Creed respects the opposition and recognizes our own shortcomings, but doesn't let our defects and their qualities stop us from achieving what is RIGHTFULLY ours — the premiership. After all, " We are Port Adelaide " and “ We exist to win premierships. ” We will work our asses off because no one can be better than us. We are going to win: if not this year, than in the next; if this year, then also in the next. By the way,  someone has brought up an analogy of the "grandfather's axe" (“ after si

The Riddle of the Sphinkley (Port 60 - 102 West Coast)

“Decipher me, or I’ll devour you” —It’s derby week, and nobody knows what to expect from Port Adelaide. At least, I am not alone… --- So, the Magpies has lost two in a row, and the Power has split its two-game road trip. The results seem to be all disappointedly connected. This blog is an attempt to understand from a far things that people nearby seem unable to grasp. Still, maybe my struggles can help others to see better what is going on. Then, they could come here and explain it to me… On the Magpies, after the two weekend losses, there are people – once again – complaining about the club’s approach towards the SANFL competition. People tend to exaggerate on defeat. Winning both AFL and SANFL are goals, but there is an evident order of priority. If I understood the club right (always tricky!), there seems to be an understanding at the club that a competitive Magpies help developing and improving our depth as a whole.[1] One aspect that has made things harder this seaso
