Big port fan here, love this video man. The 07 grand final and the 2014 prelim are two games burned into my memory. Can't wait to see what the Rozee, Duursma and Butters era can do for this club.

Dude, I'm a massive Port fan too! Watch you all the time Ozzy! Great video Jagger. Really well done. Was lucky enough to attend that 2014 prelim. Best game ever! I've said since toward the end of last season that Power will win the flag this year! Let's hope they still can.

I was at this game as a hawks fan when I was 9 years old, and I vividly remember now - at 17 that Hodge smother. Absolutely remarkable.
As a Port Adelaide fan, this was an emotional run mate. Thank you

agree, had to force myself to keep watching at least 3 times during this vid
I'm a Collingwood fan and this story is up there as one of the best
I remember watching that 2014 prelim with a heap of mates. We were going nuts in that last quarter. Wingard was carving the Hawks up and that game is what allowed him to coast along at port for the next 4 seasons. Port gave it their all and with how crap Sydney were the following week I have no doubt in my mind if port got 1 more goal they'd have won the following week.

Disagree, Sydney may have played a shocker in the gf that year when it came to hawthorn, but they were the best team that year finishing the minor premiers and had a good record against port. One of the sides that port struggled against for a few seasons
stunned to see this content come from someone with 100 subs
I remember being at work in the Aus desert and getting score updates from a colleague. He wasn't even a Port fan, but came running over when the comeback was on! Being a Port fan aside, not enough teams play this way anymore instead trying to reduce the damage of a loss. The fast and hard nature of a comeback effort, taking risks, going until it's over - that's how the game should be played.

I was lucky enough to watch the 2016 final in a Roadhouse in the Northern Territory, Kulgera I think it is. Plenty of Sydney and Bulldogs supporters there despite being so remote.
probably one of the best videos i’ve watched on youtube.
Absolutely! The belief Port had in their fitness was immeasurable with Burgess at the club and their constant comeback wins that year Hinkley was a revelation with an all-out attacking style in contrast to all the ultra-defensive styles that had imbedded themselves in the AFL since the Swans had won the '05 Premiership! There were countless times in games where I can vividly remember the likes of Schulz and The Hoff getting a mark on the 50m arc and running freely into goal, as was the attacking setup of the team! The Dogs in 2016 played their part in changing the ultra-defensive concept by winning the Premiership and it has been a slow burn since then, but the 2020 Premiership and beyond will prove to be for the brave, attacking teams and leave defensive coaches in a 'has been' era I'm a born and bred Victorian and I'm a signed up Carlton member but I was gearing up to unleash on every social media platform and every talk back radio station I could get on if Hinkley ended up being let go by Port. Yes he and his players went into their shell a bit after the 2014 prelim, but what could have been not just for Port but the AFL as an industry if they had of gone on that year and spanked WCE instead of Hawthorn doing so. Champion Data and Ranking Points would have imploded.
Could be one last shot at glory this year if they keep strong and consistent

Well some times you have to roll with the punches unfortunately, takes time, but since 2017 and building a nice squad to build around boak wines Jonas westhoff hartlett with guys like motlop lycettt Rocky Dixon Burton, the draft kids from last year plus unsung guys like dbj Ebert Marshall clurey.
Not going to lie, this video brought back some emotions I wasn't quite ready for. That Hawthorn game broke me for a long time in 2014. And then you had to bring up the 2017 Extra Time After The Siren goal. I'm not crying, it's just raining...

From memory 2014 season was Freos to lose.
Goosebumps. This is incredible. Over that two year span we played in some of the most thrilling games I've ever watched, having come from the absolute depths of despair as you eloquently put it. I still remember reading the news about John McCarthy in the schoolyard at lunch time in 2012 and just crying the whole night. I think about that 2014 Prelim and what could've been almost every weekend of footy, as I reckon we would have definitely beaten Sydney. Here's to a big 2020 and near future. NTUA.
As Port Fan that prelim is my fav game even though we lost! Thanks for an awesome video mate. As you said it will be forgotten but the supporters never forget!
Amazing video man I can see how much effort you put into this
Australian footy needs more stories like this- not just 6 minutes of game highlights. There are scores of stories like this across 120 years. Congratulations, I'm impressed.
I was thinking that the other day. If port won that prelim the AFL would be so different today

Very similar to if Collingwood had of defeated Geelong in the 2007 Prelim final, the margin was less than a goal, it would have been Port vs Pies, Geelong wouldn't have started their afl era legacy as early. Collingwood or Port would have been Premiers instead......It's kool looking back at points in time where if one thing happens, it changes things drastically.
i love that you know just when to not talk and let the game sounds and commentators tell the story great work!!
Holy shit mate this is one of the best vids I’ve seen on KZread.
2014 was the first year I was a Port member. This season is and always will be nostalgic for me. Doing the Never tear us apart song every game was the most exciting thing, the atmosphere of the stadium was thunderous. Having such a great team with Wingard, Boak, Shultz and more was great but there are so many forgotten greats as well. White, Neade, Butcher, Monfries were some superstar players that don’t get enough praise. I was gut wrenched at the end of that preliminary final, I was distraught. The magic of that season has never truly been recreated and it’s a real shame. That team was almost perfect but even though we didn’t win that season, that team has always been my favourite to date. Thanks so much for this video

I feel this was about the 2013 and 2015 seasons and my dockers. Hawthorn beat us both times we should have won. Especially 2015 we finished minor premiers and won the first qualifying. Our only major loss of the season was choking against a team going after 3-peat glory that had no right to win on our home soil and having lost against the eagles 2 weeks before the long road trip. It's insane we stumbled 2015. I really never recovered to have that spark like those years 2011-2015. With our changed guernsey and with Ross Lyon making us competitive the year he galvanized the group. It's not just success that makes barracking fun. But despair mixed with missed opportunity can rob you of the spirit when you see its not a bunch of guys willing to do anything for one another to succeed. Hawthorn being too good and taking their chances in that era broke many sides... Only Geelong got through to keep fighting for flags. And only a Bulldogs fairy tale run can soothe some of my disdain for thier time at the top.
Still one of the games I’ll always remember. Biggest memory is port changing tactics and running in lines through the centre bounce for the last 5 minutes, desperate to score. It was insanity
Excellently told, well edited and a conclusion that leaves you with goosebumps. Make sure you watch this one to the end, people, you wont be disappointed. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Really well made video! Hope it picks up some more attention :)

I remember the watching the Hawks game with my dad. We got so excited but then the siren sounded
This was so well made mate. Well done in putting this together!
My man only has 600 subs this is so well put together
I was at that Port vs Hawthorn game and I was so sad to see Port lose
Being a port fan as a little kid I remember,her crying at the end of that and my dad jumper of the couch (who goes for hawks) one of my saddest memories
This is bloody incredible mate. A great insight, you deserve more recognition. Great video
this was such a well put together video might i say. i was there at the ‘14 prelim and what a game it was. i was soul crushed at 3rd quarter time, but when that siren went, i was destroyed. i’ve been through finals loses in my own football games but man did watching the prelim hurt so much more.
Love all of your videos mate. You display the drama, the stakes so well
Absolutely elite video, incredibly gripping watch, top stuff mate.
Some really impressive stuff here mate loved the vid would watch again if you made another
I am a North supporter but an MCC member and I was at the 14 PF. I have watched lots of games in the members but that one really stands out because I have never seen the Members swing behind a team like they did that day. Really roaring for Port in the last quarter. Thanks for the memories of a great match.
this is brilliant content. Really looking forward for more like this.
I won't ever forget this game. I was on holiday in Australia watching this game with my uncle who is Australian in a resort in airlie beach. I was new to the game but I knew I had just watched a cracking game of footy. I singled out chad wingaard in this game and funnily enough he ended up at hawthorn.
Great memories and very well put together.
And then to lose by 6 points in the 2020 prelim to the eventual back-to-back premiers... the memory of 2014 haunted me that night.
Awesome vid mate!
Absolutely brilliant dude! As a Canadian who's been trying to get into the lore of the AFL for a few years now, this one really did it justice. Would love to see more AFL videos from you. Also great editting man, loved the muffled crowd when Hawthorne won. Go Bulldogs!!
Great vid mate keep posting more AFL content like this would love to see more!!!
I’m a proud Crows fan but absolutely enjoyed this video, awesome stuff! 😎👍 ❤️💛💙

Top work mate. Loved this!

Awesome video man, really summed it up perfectly
Im a Hawks fan and i was at that game on the far RHS of ports goal in the 4th Qtr. Couldn't of said it any better when you said the Hawks players were relieved, so were us fans, the joy of hodgey smothering that footy with 1minute left on the clock and then the RAW of the crowd around me siren sounded short after was pure relief! Port were a powerful and intimidating team in 2014. Best game ive been to and will never forget!
TY sooo much! I am a new footy fan and I have watched so much and there is always something that I can't define about PA, but it has made me a lifelong fan. This helps me understand more of the amazing history of a great club! TY! ⚡⚡⚡⚡
Inspirational video mate. Well done.
This is quite a good video. Aside from a few pronunciation errors and a missed opportunity or two to use a well timed pause, I really enjoyed this. Has a 'Aussie' SB Nation feel to it, espcially with the timeline graphic at the start, similar to their 'Collapse' series. Well done!
They’re doing alright in early 2020

Im a hawks fan.. great insight into the port fans perspective.. really well made video my friend..
Port is through the blood of my family, we have seen the disappointments and the greater moments but this year just seems like a positive it’s not too easy but not too hard. We are a good club and we will get that premiership!
Well done for that piece! Great viewing mate!
Bloody awesome vid mate! That 2014 season was one for the ages. I was born and bred down Port Adelaide so supported them all my life, but live in Melbourne now. And 2014 was so good I went to every one of those finals, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne. And we almost took away the fairy tale...........
Nicely done video mate. Painted the picture honestly and so well about PAFC. Such a shame we couldn’t get over the line in 2014. If only we also had kicked straighter in that game it would have been a different story. Hopefully better times ahead!
please do more videos like this, this was fantastic mate
dude well done. I was keeping a close eye on port in 2013, and then 2014 season came along and my eyes were glued to their games. The heartbreak I felt for them in that prelim. I still think to this day that if they went on to the GF, they would've beaten the Swans. (Essendon fan, dont laugh I know you're laughing right now stop that.)
great vid mate very well created
This was beautiful kudos mate
U should do more of this. It’s so interesting
This gave me goosebumps throughout the whole video This was amazing 🤩🤩
Fantastic video, although as a Port fan absolutely heartbreaking to watch.
