17 PREMIERSHIPS, 19 X Runners up
THE VFLS MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB - THE MIGHTY PORT MELBOURNE BOROUGH!
I'M PORT MELBURNE BORN, I'M PORT MELBOURNE BRED, I'LL BE PORT UNTIL I'M DEAD!!!
McCartney's style might not please all at Port.
His tenure at North Ballarat he was solely dedicated to development & was never interested in bringing highly paid players or big names.
Abou ten of his youngsters had VFL experience at Footscray, Geelong, Werribee, Collingwood, North Melbourne & Brisbane.
It will need to be a change of direction at Port who won't want to be involved in too much development.
A very good coach & person just the same who knows Football & its people back to front.
We might be from the bush. but we ain't green
