Throw in the Powers record and apart from one final series there hasn't been much finals success in the new millennium for the once unbeatable power house

Grand Finals in 04,07, Prelim finals in 02,03,14. Semi Final in 13.

So 10 winning finals and 5 losing since the start of 02. Hmm.....nice try.

I'm not sure it was fishing, but I knew it would get a bite.

Hey, stop letting facts get in the way of our hating on you.

I'm not much for defending, even the good balls.

The feeling is mutual.

Is Thomas set to play on?

I heard yes he is. Certainly looks like he could keep going.

His last six weeks have been phenomenal. Looks fantastic and is setting a great example for his side.

I don't know what the scribes said in the various media outlets, but he was BOG for mine yesterday. One of the few Dogs over the years that have got my admiration.

Eagles by less than 119 points.

PS Power: 3 minor prenierships, 1 2nd, 1 3rd
Finals record: 11 wins, 11 losses. 1 flag.
Their reserves are even worse!
Must be bad hay fever down Alberton way in September.

Central have now won twice as many finals than North did matches.

Not bad for the 9th worst team in the comp.

Easily the 9th worst side in the comp.

They're still our finals bitch this decade though. No one else can stop them.
At least North won more games than the Power played finals

Considering the bottom team was out and out shit, you didn't have to be that great to be the "9th best" in some judges eyes.

I'm not sure what North's relevence is to the topic, wasnt it out of finalists or do we have a new system?
I still think it will be a West v Eagles GF with the Eagklea taking it out and Booney not being surprised at the crowd.

I'm sure Scott, PhilH or Spell Check would be able to confirm this...

These discussions about the once invincible Port Magpies poor recent finals record just highlights the changing face of the SANFL. As we all know up until the year 2000, one of the four most successful clubs, Port, Norwood, North and Sturt had played in every Grand Final since the inception of the finals series in 1898. This year will be the 8th time in the last 16 years that none of those four have figured in the Grand Final.
