IT’S tough being a Port supporter when your club isn’t in the finals. We’re used to finals and success, and tasting the thrill of preliminary final victory.
So when Port isn't playing in the finals, how else do you get through it?
We know there's no point in barracking for another team. Port supporters are physically incapable of doing that.
And there are plenty of other more stimulating things that you can do to cope.
But on prelim final weekend, that itch to see Port play footy starts to annoy you.
So we've got the next best thing to seeing the Power and Maggies in action this weekend...
September Survival Guide, Part 3
Q: Dear portadelaidefc.com.au, how do I get through this weekend's prelims, and the SANFL Grand Final?
A: Close your eyes and think of Scotty Hodges.
Yep, seriously. Do it. Nostalgia is the ultimate curative for a bad case of the finals munchies. Specifically, we recommend a health dose of Scotty Hodges highlights.
