Watching the Port vs Saints 2004 Pf first quarter .

[Rubyjo]

Omg how good and how tough were we
G TRAIN gets 100
Black killing it
Kosi on fire
Harvey and Lennie on fire
Picket getting it. Ball tough as nails
Milne sneaky as
Compare that to our current team .and current day football ..we need to get that back

[1971]

One of the best sides we have had in my opinion.

[Harvey To Hayes]

Don't watch the rest of it, I was there and it's burned into my memory... Why did people run onto the ground when G-Train got his ton?

[Scollop]

Omg how good and how tough were we

...

...

...we need to get that back

A few extra push ups at training might be required and the leadership might have to lift a bit, but...

They'll organise a meeting and should be sweet

[Banger9798]

And we would've beaten Brions in the GF.

Honestly , only StKilda would find an original way to sabotage ourselves.....this time it was our own fans destroying our momentum in a final

[Vortex]

This current list are a bunch of cream puffs in comparison to that 2004 side.

[mr six o'clock]

We played attractive attacking football.
It's a pity GT was hopeless when it came to defence.

[B.M]

Why are they ‘cream puffs’?

Are they soft??

Steele, Crouch, Ross etc…. Definitely not soft

Just not as good as Hayes, Harvey, Ball

Correct
To his credit he did try “flood” later but never grasped it
Lyon came in and took team defence in the entire AFL to another level
Malthouse copied …

Just reading the title of the thread gave me the sads

[flack]

I just hope Lenny and Banger can instil a bit of pride in the playing group. Even though we lost that game the players never gave up and I would pay to see such games instead of some of those insipid efforts we saw last year. Mission to give the group some stamina to last four quarters and Ross to be honest with the players and not sugar coat their average efforts. I'm looking forward to the season with renewed enthusiasm.

I have always blamed the sniper for that loss.

After the fuckwits who invaded the oval of course.
