Port 1970 were minor premiers of the competition they played in - just like the Port 2020 squad.
Port 1970 didn't make it to the Grand Final - just like the Port 2020 squad.
Port 1970 lost their Preliminary Final to opposition wearing the colours of yellow and black - just like the Port 2020 squad.
Port 1970 in that Preliminary Final had the lead during the last quarter - just like the Port 2020 squad.
Port 1970 fans at the Preliminary Final complained bitterly about the umpiring - just like the Port 2020 fans.
Port 1970 supplied the player who finished 2nd in the Medal Count for the best player in the competition they played in - just like Port 2020 did.
So there's enough proof to support the old saying - "The more things change, the more they are the same..."
Sturt Sturt rub em in the dirt.
Great to see Jack Oatey sabotaging the Port thread in 2020 just like he sabotaged their premiership hopes back 50 years ago !!
