Mark Williams and Port part ways

News of Williams' quitting has spread around the world







It's even made Wheel of Fortune

Not liking this whole siuation but I can draw some positives from this.

Richmond took years to decide to get rid of Wallace, they could have cut his contract up but chose not to and it was much to their detriment as they spent years floundering under him and it will take years to rectify.

We can move on now, we can thank Mark for delivering us our first AFL Premiership and now start to build towards our future. Every club has tough times and this is all the more "news worthy" because Port Adelaide have not had many dark days in our history.

The whole Laidley arrival was clearly a safety net that is about to be thrown out to catch us in and I dont think we could be in better hands. Laidley had a crap squad for some time at the 'Roos and still managed to keep them competitive. I'm hoping he can ( if appointed, as I write this before the Presser ) can do the same here.

not a fan of laidley to old and stale...

Some would say the same about the bloke he might just replace.

I wonder what Mark would do to Rucci if they met in a dark alley?

See how he was looking at him..

Are you saying that there is no chance of Dynasty Mk II - the Final Chapter???

[Brucetiki]

Interesting to note the Herald Sun is providing more up to date coverage of the events than Adelaide Now - Rucci must really be cracking it !

Laidley or Primus to take over?

Laidley the man for 2011?

It's a shame it's come to this but no point persisting if neither party has their heart in continuing. For about 4 seasons Port were close to the best team in the comp and but for some bad losses in home finals and a rampaging competitor in the Brisbane Lions they may have had a second flag.
