Why do they hate us well from a supporter from way back I always found that Port Adelaide bonded together and helped each other. Port Adelaide was the pits in my day and were looked down upon and it irked everyone else that such down and outs could win footy. It has always been us against them from the wharfie days.

Well, as a Port supporter who grew up in the late 80's and 90's - I think the hatred of those years was because of our success - and obviously that can be traced back many years too.
It's envy, in my opinion. And when we don't do well - they love it. Where as, with the exception of one or 2 clubs, I couldn't care less what was happening to them!

ask Cornesy. He NEVER got over the Bays 1977 Grand Final loss against a "slower, older" Port side.
I reckon it's just that we have success on a REGULAR basis rather than just every now and then ala Norwood, Sturt, North, Glenelg et al.
Some would call it arrogance, I don't care. It's about always expecting to win. Hope we get that back next year.

Ask him about 1990, (after we won once again), he said the Bays would never loose to Port in a grand final again. Two years latter same story, we once again beat the Bays. What was that joke? Whats the easiest way to win a grand final? Play the bays

Ask him about the speech he made IN the PORT CHANGEROOMS after we beat his Bays in 1977. (he was the coach) Something about not deserving to win it I think......
Like I said before I reckon it's just that we always expect to win, others call it arrogance....

1977? We beat the bays again, but Cornsey was a player not the coach.

Im sure Greg Phillips. Nippy, Bucky and maybe Dwayne Russell would all help. Dont count on KG once you have told him you are a Port supporter.
Rucci would be good on this topic as well
Also what about the man who gave this state AFL football Bruce Webber.

What did it mean to grow up in Port Adelaide and how did/does this affect your support for Port Adelaide?
Can a Glenelg lad become a dyed in the wool Port supporter?

My dad as a kid lived on Brighton Road Glenelg, went to Brighton High School and had 9 siblings-who barracked for the Bays! I have NO idea why he followed Port-but am sure glad he did! It probably had a bit to do with all the success we had under Fos Williams. (RIP)
I went to Morphett Vale High-also full of Bay supporters-and revelled in it!Used to wear my Port Magpies Cheer Squad duffle coat all year round! Reckon there were 3 of us "port ferals" in the whole school-out of 1300 kids!
When we moved to Vic the "locals" were trying to tell us that we'd have to change clubs...once a Port fan, always a Port fan. We just get to see them "live" less often.
Some of us enjoy being in the minority-especially we when we win!
