Mark Williams: Hubris handballs to denial...

Port Adelaide's defeat finally marked the end of Melbourne's 1988 greatest losing margin achievement, however it will take some time to break the record for getting-ahead-of-one's-self exhibited by the losing Port coach. Dave Hughes had it summed up the night before on Channel Ten when he declared that Williams' trash talking had handed the game to Geelong.

The hubris is all the more embarassing when on a Grand Final stage the Team sets a new Club Record Losing Margin. The great Port Adelaide tradition has had an ugly new page written and the club has been vicariously be-smirched with a sticky layer of foul-smelling grit.

Mark Williams is a legend. Great coach, controversial and good for the game

And he is funnier than Dave Hughes as well

Doesnt say much for Huighes the 'comedian' does it, when an AFL coach is wittier than you

 

I think Mark has handled himself extremely well this week from his efforts on the footy show to the way he post match interviews.

I was particularly impressed when he went to congratulate the Geelong players and staff. Complete class!!!

Mark Willams is a great coach.

The trash talking was to instill positivity into the young'uns in his team, and to shake up a Geelong side with a history of GF failure. Obviously it didn't work. But it made no difference either way.

He's a class act, I liked the hand shaking too.

The man not only loves Port, he loves football.

Agreed.

I'm usually a real fan of Mark Williams but he has come up with bull during the finals series. But then again that is what makes the coaches conferences more interesting, the controversy!
