Pretty sure you didn't play with Brian Lake :shock:

I would believe Brian Harris though ;)

Na I played with him, he just had an alias :D .. Was funny watching this young kid playing in the magoo's at Gaza with a waterlogged ball that 41 other players couldn't catch, but not Brian, probably took a good dozen overhead marks. Resulted in one of our best results for the season, think we only lost by about 7 goals that day ;)

I've been a supporter of the Footy Show throughout all the changes of line-up but last night was the end of my viewership. It was bad.

He was one of the few Port players of that era I never warmed too.
I was more a Craig Bradley or Martin Leslie type fan.

I thought Martin Leslie was the raging bull.that guy had no fear of anything, a lot like Glen Archer.

He was the Raging Bull, great player, but was around in an era mid 80s) when the club had fairly limited success.

Darren Smith, for all his critics, was a more effective CHF.

As for Dwayne's commentary, Im not a huge fan, but tend to make some allowances given his Port background.

He does seem though to come across a bit Amercan style/over-the-top.

To some extent, yes, but the top end talent talent was as good - if not better- in Dwayne Russell's era....Ebert, Bradley, Evans, Anderson, Clifford. Better coach (Cahill) too.

Smith to me was a bit more team orientated, and overall consistent, whereas Russell was more flamboyant and brilliant, but injury-prone and a bit of a hot-head.

When I think of Boofhead I think of the 84 Grand Final. Got absolutely cleaned up that day. That game will forever be one of my favourite all time matches. Your current CEO was absolutely brilliant that day. My duffle coat was Greg Turbill. What a tough player he was.

84' GF was the only game I can remember him getting off the leash against us. Built like a brick shithouse, but Tommy Warhurst always took it up to him. Russell always struck me as one of those "built like Tarzan, play like Jane" types, albeit he had ability. Marty Leslie mentioned earlier had it so far over DR for toughness that neither of them should ever be mentioned in the same sentence.
