With the return of Chad to Port Adelaide as coach of their SANFL team, the time is ripe for the return of the Chad Medal. This prestigious medal is named in honour of Chad and is awarded to the fuckwit of the week. In his time as a player for Port Adelaide, Chad was truly one of the great fuckwits of all-time, in fact, in my opinion THE biggest fuckwit of all-time. If there was a fuckwit hall of fame Chad would be the inaugural member and attain automatic legendary status. Some disagree. Some say he was a wanker, others suggest he was a cockhead – but let’s not quibble over semantics – surely we can all agree that he is a bona fide fuckwit.
So the Chad Medal is back. And guess who receives this week’s 3 votes – yes, Chad himself. Chad made his debut as coach for Port against the Redlegs on the Thursday night clash at the Parade. Not surprisingly, the Redlegs made short work of the hapless Magpies and won the game comfortably. Well, Chad, in true Port Adelaide tradition, rather than accepting his insipid side was beaten by a superior outfit (just like the 2014 grand final), he decided to squeal like a stuck pig and instead attack the passionate and loyal band of Redlegs supporters. Sooky sooky la la. Chad called the Redlegs supporters the most abusive supporters he had ever encountered. He sobbed that his players were subjected to unfair taunts. In fact, it apparently was so bad that his little brother Kane had to leave the ground at half-time but not before Kane collected his stats for the first half. Well, Chad – harden the fuck up. If you cannot handle the passionate banter from opposition supporters then pack your bags and head back to the safe confines of Greater Western Sydney where those orange clad nuffys get less support than the Bernard Finnigan fan club. Of course Chad himself was such a gentle soul on the football field and never once incited the crowd with fist pumps and taunts- pig’s arse – Chad was a deadset fuckwit on the field and now he is continuing that trait as coach.
Chad has to accept that his side was subjected to heckling for good reason. For a start – they play for Port Adelaide, that alone is grounds for constant derision. But then consider some of the individual efforts. Paul Stewart thumped a Norwood player which the umpire over-looked and Stewart smugly played on, Sharrad did likewise and was caught and subsequently rubbed out for a week, Steven Summerton took more dives than Greg Louganis, John Butcher had 3 touches for the game and if he had more Norwood would have won by more, Jimmy Toumpas played like a typical ex-Woodville West Torrens player and as usual Kane Mitchell and Aaron Young looked rather fetching in their delightful man-buns.
So welcome back, Chad, and kudos on gaining 3 votes in round 1 of the 2016 Chad Medal, an outstanding effort.
