Port are definitely catching up to the fruit tingles the way they operate off the field.
I have a friend who knew him when he was here and he told them that he hates Adelaide and would never play for them. Of course, that could be until the right offer comes along. But interesting
Wasn't gibbs the one that was going to go to Adelaide under the father/son rule?

Port only have 4k less members than Adelaide, shows how far PAFC have come. Crows need to re-think their "team for all south aussies" slogan, it is clearly false advertising.

Not really...his old man played enough for the bays but with the moving goalposts of the afl father son rules for interstate teams, his games didnt fall into the designated years

Port fans just own more pets and have more kids than adelaide fans :wink:
Serious question though are SACA members, afl members, Sanfl members and adelaide oval members included in those numbers. I know the SANFL ones were at AAMI

Have a real market and brand will always win over a false claim to fame.


Port are doing this, whilst the crows just spreads themselves like a cheap hooker at the local meat market.

false claim to fame eh... how about "Est. 1870" or whatever when realistically it was 1997... there's your false claim pal.

port are doing well and doing the right things on and off field - but "fans" like you give them a bad name.

Well I know in world terms 100 years isn't much but in the convict colony it is a lot. Aren't they also the most succesful team in australian sport?

I have no idea.

Irrelevant anyway, does a team not exist until they're in the premier league, do they cease to exist if they get relegated.

So Wigan do not exist anymore and cardiff were formed this season?

no idea and yet you continue to comment about AFL. well in.

SANFL and AFL are in no way competitively linked, your argument is invalid.

So now a league has to be cometetively linked for them to exist?

Facts are simple on this one, Port Adelaide have existed for over a century. They now have a team in the afl, You don't negate history becuase you move to a better league.

When were collingwood formed? Did they exist before the afl?

Port Power were established in 1997.

A 17 year history steeped in tradition...

When were collingwood or essendon formed?

Port Power, est 1997. End of discussion.

Jog on Englishman, this is an Australian's sport to argue about, not some whinging pom who constantly moans about Australia, yet he still resides here voluntarily.

Take Collingwood out of the AFL and it would have been the Port Adelaide Magpies....but it wasn't to be because there is no way they would let their be another Magpies team. The Power are a part of the success of the Magpies in the SANFL as Port Adelaide went from the local to national stage. PAFC est 1870. Not born in a court room etc...

Why does it say 1870 on the back of their jumpers then?

Are you suggesting that they (& the AFL) don't know their own history???

1870 is the number of fans you had a few seasons ago.
