The power of Port


The Melbourne press seems to have written Port off in tomorrows grandfinal, assuming that the club would be happy to make the grandfinal. They just don't understand that the whole history and culture of our club is that we expect nothing less than victory.
If Brisbane can include Fitzroys VFL history in its ALF stats why can't the Power use these stats:

THE PORT FILE

Aren't you glad you put that up now?

You may even have put all those dates in by hand.

That was a well deserved win and a GF that was a true rarity - a joy to watch

Was truly a day for all the faithful to remember.

But,as we have seen before,just another chapter beginning.

Another chapter in the glorious history of the P.A.F.C

GO THE POWER!
