Geelong in 2007 were one of the greatest teams of all time, so it was no disgrace for Port to lose heavily to them. But the manner of the defeat was risible. A margin similar to Essendon's win in 2000 (60 points) would have been a fair reflection of the actual difference between the two sides.
As everyone knows, Port beat the Cats at home in round 21 that year. No one could have possibly imagined the bloodbath which was to come in the Granny. I actually felt bad for Port's supporters to have to witness that. They deserved better.
I was in Germany. I got up at 4am to get to the pub to watch this... The publican felt so bad for how bad the game was he gave everyone free shots at half time.
Ken Hinckley knew from his own experience as a Geelong player from the 90s. When you are 10 Goals in front at half time, don't let the opposition back in. There was a game in 1993 where Geelong were winning against West Coast by 7 Goals in Half Time, Geelong had the game won and half way through the 3rd quarter they were on their way to winning the match. However the Eagles came back and won by 7 points in the end. Geelong would give up big leads to either loose or almost loose the match all the way through 1993 and while they did improve and won their last 5 games of the season in convincing display of natural skill and awesome talent of the side Geelong were in the 90s, their early season losses meant they missed out on the finals by percentage, against the Eagles who were on the same win/loss but only in front by 3 to 4 goals difference. The Cats of the 90s and the Geelong fans back then know that when you are in front at half time in any game, including Finals and Grand Final, you MAKE SURE you BURY the opposition in the 3rd Quarter. Thus is the reason why Geelong won in 2022 against Sydney in much the same way.
As a Port fan I like to fantasise that in 2027 Port Will Beat Geelong in the Grand final by 120 Points Exactly. I live in Geelong and if this were to happen I would have so much joy.
Damm, that's a outstanding video documenting what went wrong for Port in 2007 and its ramfifcations since. They have JHF and the strong core on paper, an top 4 worthy. I don't know if Power can win it all but still
Damn great video my mans. As a port supporter the 2007 gf still stings to this day and there was plenty of rough years for sure. Great work and this video shows you put heaps of effort and research into your content!! Much love
Probably the most damage one game has ever had on a club. Absolutely ruined Port Adelaide. The greats of early 2000s such as the Cornes and Burgoyne brothers, Tredrea etc had their legacies permanently damaged and the young crop of players that propelled Port to the grand final were so scared that the few that ended up having solid careers took years to get back to the level they displayed in 2007.
For the off seasons could you do the history of each club? What year they started, how many finales they have been in, how many cups they have won, best wins and worse loses.
Great video mate. Another twist in the tale, out in straight sets to cap off the early dominate '23 season with a sour taste. Good list they have so they'll be back and the story continues..
Funny I can still remember waking up to that 2007 Grand Final, thinking it must be Geelong's time to finally win one after years waiting since 1963. Saw the 1989 and 1992 Grand Finals on VHS tapes at my Grand Parents place back when I was a kid and saw the 1994 and 1995 disasters for the Cats on TV at the time when those games took place. Also Port Adelaide who were only 11 seasons into the AFL competition since starting in 1997 after being 35 time champions in the SANFL since 1870 and when they won their 1st AFL Premiership in 2004 just 3 years earlier, I felt that it was going to be a tough game. However in the space of just 2 to 3 hours of Football, not only had the Cats won their first Premiership since 1963 but they also smashed Port Adelaide by 119 points. It was just a surprise how much they won and how badly it affected the club on the opposite side of that result.
Port Adelaide are the greatest team to follow, you never know what you're gonna get. It could be an absolute drubbing either way, it could be a nailbiter decided by under a goal, it could even be a 50 point margin at half time followed by a miraculous comeback/choke. I may have a head of grey hair at 19 but it's certainly a roller coaster I'm happy to ride
Geelong were simply incredible that day - everything they tried came off, they won every contest and Port players heads dropped. Williams should have switched to damage limitation in the third quarter, but he chose to keep going for it and Geelong took full advantage.
There's not really any reason for damage limitation in a grand final. Percentage doesn't matter. For the most part injuries and suspensions don't either. It's either a win or it isn't, so you have to keep trying to get the win. Except of course when it comes to the public relations and psychological disasters of a historic loss.
To put Port's win in rd21 into context, Geelong had several top players injured/rested and they were 3 games clear on top of the ladder. It still took Port until the last few seconds to beat 3/4 of a team.
The 2020 Preliminary Final loss to my beloved Richmond Tiges was sweet revenge for the Elimination Final of 2014!! this vlog is grouse!!!! Good luck on Saturday........
I was at this game. Didn’t get to watch as my uncle was letting random people hold me if they bought him a beer. All I can say is he forgot he was looking after me, he was that pissed. Also I was abit young to know what was happening
Still convinced they were doping, they were just so much bigger, faster and more physical it was crazy. Not like everyone wasn't back then tbh. As testing got better players got a lot smaller. Port Adelaide beat Geelong in round 19 when Geelong other than 3 losses in the first quarter of the season went undefeated until then. To beat them in Geelong and end their winning streak was amazing I was there, and we were pumped. Then came the finals, Port played West Coast, it was a close first round but so what it was West Coast they had been solid all year. Geelong slapped Kangaroos and then Port slapped Kangaroos by a similar margin in the prelims. After Geelong narrowly beat Collingwood we were confident as fans that Port would get the job done or it would be a "close" game, it wasn't and Port's never been the same a team without any nerve. The next season was harsh too.
I love how you went off topic when you were complaining about Brisbane not winning the 4th flag in a row. But hey at least you won 3 and winning a home game in Melbourne. (That Melbourne rules i have to agree with you its so silly how lions wins the rights to play a home game but was over-ruled by afl. Thank god they changed it.)
This is one year where a team that made it the GF just legitimately wasn't suppose to... I might be biased here... but hear me out...I still think if Kerr plays in the Qualifying final against port Adelaide, Chris Judd isn't stuck in a forward pocket the whole game on one leg (Osteitis pubis) and Ben cousins doesn't pull his hamstring in the first quarter the eagles win that game, they only lost by 5 points I think... they'd go to a home Preliminary and probably play Geelong in GF and they would of put up alot better performance than Port.. the eagles were the reigning premiers that year and had their midfield absolutely desimated with injury leading into Finals... that qualifying final turned out to be last game Judd and cousins ever played for the eagles as Judd was not able to play in the overtime loss to Collingwood in the semi final the following week, along with Cousins and Kerr.
Port Adelaide deserved all the flak, jeering and embarrassment that they received after that Grand Final. I know we tend to be fairer to clubs that lose grand finals because they are so hard to get into, but a team losing a grand final by more than 100 points is a disgrace. You should never allow your team to be blown out of a game like that. When St. Kilda lost in the Grand Final Replay against Collingwood, they still fought hard in the last quarter to bring the margin down to something more respectable. I would say that most supporters would be more forgiving of a team getting smashed, if the margin indicates the team at least cared enough to try and win. The Power couldn't even do that for their fans. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it astonishes me that some people actually felt sorry for them. They deserve no sympathy! A 119 point loss is gutless! I'm not a Power supporter, but I feel so much sympathy for them. Think of all those Port supporters/members that would have saved up their money and tried really hard to obtain GF tickets (particularly those who flew out or drove from South Australia to watch that game), only for them to show up to the game and watch the team to put up such a weak effort. I would even go as far as to say that the team's performance was so bad, that it was the equivalent of being spat in the face by the players. Such an insult to all their fans and members. I hope those players were ashamed, because they should've been. Especially considering how they played so valiantly against the LIons in 2004. Credit where credit is due, Geelong played exceptionally well deserved the win. It must've been so satisfying for the Cats after all their GF losses in the 90's. They had an awesome team back then, even when you thought their period of premiership glory was coming to a end, they bounced back with a vengance in 2011.
you know I'm starting to think this guy might be a little bit biased towards the lions. could just be me but i have a feeling. all jokes aside great video
my first game was at adelaide oval swans vs port and swans lost (my team). everytime i got up swans went well, everytime i came back port did well, it got so bad that power fans begged me to stay. Overall it was a good experience.
Geelong in 2007 were one of the greatest teams of all time, so it was no disgrace for Port to lose heavily to them. But the manner of the defeat was risible. A margin similar to Essendon's win in 2000 (60 points) would have been a fair reflection of the actual difference between the two sides.
From New Zealand
Port Pear haven't played in a Grand Final since and have never looked like playing in one.
That sums it up.
Give Ken another 5 years
Absolutely phenomenal video man. The amount of effort and dedication that would've gone into this is lost on none of us.
Those early Port jerseys are legendary

They have blown away multiple teams in more recent finals games, possibly a byproduct of the miracle on grass?
@zainkhan2766 they were too good mate, nothing to do with grass.

Port looked really strong leading by a point at the start of the game
Damn great video my mans. As a port supporter the 2007 gf still stings to this day and there was plenty of rough years for sure. Great work and this video shows you put heaps of effort and research into your content!! Much love
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed!

I’m legit wearing my Port Beanie right now lol.
Dude this video was WAYYY more entertaining than i imagined it could be. Awesome job!
I absolutely enjoy your content mate. Ngl, 2022 was another orgy of Cats Goals too against our scrappy young side.
As an Eagles supporter...the 2017 EF and then the game in 2018, both won after the siren, were very satisfying..
Mate ya gotta make more of these if possible. It's absolutely fantastic
Adelaide Crows 🤝 Brisbane Lions
Hating the 2004 Grand final.
Adelaide Crows 🤝 Brisbane Lions
THE AFL FORCING US TO PLAY A "HOME" FINAL AT THE MCG AGAINST A VICTORIAN TEAM IN THE EARLY 2000s
I was at Skill Stadium when Cornes did his little dance when they beat us in round 21, and fuck it felt good to give it to them in the GF
Vengeance of this magnitude could not have been inflicted on a more deserving pack.
119 has been my favourite number for 17 years
This was elite. Good stuff. Can’t wait for the bears and essington vids.
It was legit the first grand final I ever watched and I could not believe what I saw
For the off seasons could you do the history of each club? What year they started, how many finales they have been in, how many cups they have won, best wins and worse loses.
you could probably google that easily
Been waiting for this vid for ages keep it up mate!!!
Port ran into one of the greatest teams who were never gonna get touched that year, somehow found a way to lose in the year after
2008 was similar to 1998: a blue and white team clearly the best team in the comp choking on the big day, mainly through disastrous kicking at goal.
@@mikespearwood3914 yeh unfortunately for me north butchered that grand final
Ken Hinkley is still trying to destroy Port Adelaide
he succeeded 😂
Great video mate.
Another twist in the tale, out in straight sets to cap off the early dominate '23 season with a sour taste.
Good list they have so they'll be back and the story continues..
bro i felt that lions stuff 😥

Never Tear Up Our Tarps.... viva Port Powder
Hello goat
@@moxie_zs hey boss
I love your content
Top class video mate!
Cheers bro!
Good production on this video. Gave me a few laughs on your jokes.
Also long live Lions fans ✊️✊️
i was not ready for the Jurassic bark reference.
Its amazing that port were the last team to beat Geelong that year.
Most port fans like myself wish the Cassisi to win it game was the grand final
Port Adelaide are the greatest team to follow, you never know what you're gonna get. It could be an absolute drubbing either way, it could be a nailbiter decided by under a goal, it could even be a 50 point margin at half time followed by a miraculous comeback/choke.

Sounds like Freo
A detailed look at a club plunged into crisis. Nicely done!
Who’s here after the 2024 Qualifying Final?
And they will never ever tear up our tarps dun dun dun dun duuuunnnnnn

As a Crom supporter, the 2007 grand final will always go down as my absolute favourite game of all time!
Mate, what a video! Excellent content - looking forward to seeing more
The interesting thing is, is that despite how bad they may have been in the late 2000s- early 2010s. The club is still yet to win a wooden spoon.
Port literally gave up, and they were a top team that year. Pitiful performance, nothing like the spirit of never give in Port Magpies.
Great video, looking forward to more of these essay videos in the off season
I was at that game in 07 as a 13 year old…..fkn tough day man
To put Port's win in rd21 into context, Geelong had several top players injured/rested and they were 3 games clear on top of the ladder. It still took Port until the last few seconds to beat 3/4 of a team.
I love your videos mate completely underrated
In stitches 😂😂
0:45 "former fireman and part-time footballer, Kane Cornes" 🤣😂. Brutal, but absolute comedy gold.
Great video, I don’t really like AFL but i love a good video essay
As a port fan you have given me nightmares forever
Keep up the content! Awesome stuff
As a port fan it was bad day for me but this is a legendary video
It’s kinda crazy how they made it back from that but I’m also a lions supporter so I’m still not happy with 04 haha
The 2020 Preliminary Final loss to my beloved Richmond Tiges was sweet revenge for the Elimination Final of 2014!! this vlog is grouse!!!!
Good luck on Saturday........
15:22 GTA San Andreas references are just legendary
i didn't think content could get better then his round reviews. i was... i was wrong
Awesome video mate, subbed 👍

Something was wrong with Port in 2007. They even lost the game 141-102 to 2nd last Carlton at the time at the Telstra Dome (Marvel Stadium)
Port deserved all of that after that 07 prelim.
as a fellow qlder. I still haven’t gotten over loosing that fourth premiership
i like your style, it's refreshing
I love how this guy played the tf2 medic theme over footage of a grand final
I love how you went off topic when you were complaining about Brisbane not winning the 4th flag in a row. But hey at least you won 3 and winning a home game in Melbourne. (That Melbourne rules i have to agree with you its so silly how lions wins the rights to play a home game but was over-ruled by afl. Thank god they changed it.)
Love this mate
I was hoping Port would win the 07 Grand Final
fantastic video!!
Watching this made me think how the fuck did they survive
amazing mate keep it up, top tier comedy and just overally enjoyable 26:02 mins
Great video!!
This is very true as aPort fan.
One thing though, 6 weeks prior we beat them in Geelong, and dint they have Bomber Dank or someone...
I remember port fans being so cocky heading into 2007 grand final and me telling them they're going to lose by 120 points.
Great vid. Do you dare touch Fitzroy?
the beginning has very Emplemon vibes
I’ve been watching that legend since his UA-cam poop days
This is one year where a team that made it the GF just legitimately wasn't suppose to...

Oh you think power and brisbane got screwed my dimetrieu? Essendon would like to have a word.
Good stuff mate.
Maybe about 20 port fans

@urbanyouths good to see that Dean Brogan took ownership of it. pretty pitiful the other two didn't.

Keep up the good work.
great vid mate
best content in da world
Your bloody right mate
Stevie Wonder would be glad to see it 😂😂😂 I just lost my shit
Fun fact, GWS grand final loss was worse percentage than PAFC’s loss
who cares
1:37 uses a song from 2013
Elite video eggboy!
I remember port being an absolute basket case back in the early 2010s, also because the dees were aswell
do videos on iconic team moments for all teams, that should keep you busy till next season starts
Kiwi here I know nothing about afl but what story, I see that Brisbane have made the grand finale in both afl and nrl this weekend
you know I'm starting to think this guy might be a little bit biased towards the lions. could just be me but i have a feeling. all jokes aside great video
As a tiger fan I am so glad I was to young to see that defeat to geelong
as a fellow tiger fan, I'm glad you didn't have to see that too. It was brutal
just a heads up, port adelaide power was only started in 1997.
Nice vid
lets go he uploaded it
The hate for Geelong is a bit much
Wow. A BT comment I actually agree with. How shocking.
Great vid
one of the first games i went too was a port loss and they had no goals at halftime
my first game was at adelaide oval swans vs port and swans lost (my team). everytime i got up swans went well, everytime i came back port did well, it got so bad that power fans begged me to stay. Overall it was a good experience.
absolute belter. please more afl/vfl history vids x
