That's a bit harsh mate. It's an attitude thing and that's clear as daylight. I think the supporters and the club itself are playing their part, it's on the park and in the preparation they have shit the bed. The coaches and the players haven't been on the same page for 2 years.

They have had a couple of poor years and their fans need to toughen up a bit, a lot of other clubs could only wish to be where Port is.

Port fans are Football people and will go. However, because they can only tap into the "Port" market they have to be more creative to capture a younger non-traditional "Portie" market in order to grow as a club. What made Port such a tough foe, and eventually got them into the AFL was the "us or them" mantra. While this served them very well locally it has proven to be something of a setback nationally. I know of some but not too many non Magpies fans who follow the Power.
The problem is not the icing, but the cake. Port lack depth and they need to shake up the box a little to throw more fresh legs and some new strategies at the opposition. Despite this season fizzling out, a lot still works at Port. KT and Kochie are getting it right, but the core business needs some tinkering moving forward. It is some poor list management decisions and coaching appointments that are the problem, not any marketing exercises that have captured the imagination and have proven to be successful strategies for "growing the brand".
regards,
REB

I've liked Impey's season and Pittard has been probably our best player most of the year.
