Chocko waving away a self-delivered pungent odourPort Adelaide Power coach Mark Williams has thrown down a daunting challenge to the other seven coaches he may do battle with in this year’s AFL finals series. Having out-coached Mark Thompson by psyching out his opposite number in a series of projections concerning the Geelong Football Club and its ticking time bomb forward Cam Mooney, Williams is now directing his attention to the likes of John Worsfold, Adrian Clarkson and Mick Malthouse, all of whom he reckons he can “mindfuck at his leisure” in September.
The Cats, whose 14 game winning streak was brought to an end last week at Kardinia Park where the Power pinched the game while they’re travelling supporters pinched wallets, have had their season thrown into turmoil by the anachronistic trash talking of Chocko. Williams who has little respect for his peers has been known to spit in the mirror, sometimes on match day.
“He’s a man possessed right now,” said a Port trainer who wanted to remain unidentified. “Last time we won the premiership he spat at his own image just before the big one.”
After the victory over the Brisbane Lions Williams was seen posing to the crowd, clutching at his necktie to mock knockers who had labelled his team for the previous four years as chokers who couldn’t cut it under the pressure of finals. It has been revealed, however, that the gesture was in fact a tribute to Williams’ late friend Michael Hutchence. According to the Port trainer Williams hadn’t had the appropriate forum in which to dedicate the inspiration he had channelled from the late INXS frontman.
“A full house really brought it out of him” the trainer said. “For years he had motivated the players with the album Kick and got nothing. He didn’t play it that day. Hell that’s why Damian Hardwick was so angry in the first quarter. Mark felt he owed it to Hutch when they won. After all sometimes people are more conspicuous by their absence rather than their presence.”
