Adelaide Power

The Roach at his mischievous best.

But I'd be amazed if this hasn't been canvassed at some point.

No Port, no support!

If this was to ever happen, I won't have a club to support anymore.

So there would be two teams in the AFL called Adelaide? Um, ok!

SA FOOTBALL COMMISSION STATEMENT
The following is to be attributed to John Olsen, Chairman of the South Australian Football Commission:

In response to a story posted today on Adelaide Now website (‘SANFL plotting another Port Adelaide Football Club coup’, Monday 15th August) I feel it important to explain the governance process that relates to the appointment of directors of both the AFL clubs in accordance with their respective constitutions.

In October of each year, a Nominations Committee sits to discuss vacancies and invite nominations. This committee is made up of the CEO and Chairman of the relevant club and the CEO and Chairman of the Commission.
Then, following the AGM of the club and based on the recommendations of the Nominations Committee, the Commission appoints the most qualified nominees to the available directors’ positions.
It is the responsibility of the boards – and the boards alone - of the two AFL clubs to appoint persons to the positions of CEO and Chairman.
With respect to the club’s brand name, the Commission is not considering removing the name Port Adelaide and it cannot do so without the approval of the club which again is a matter that is contained in the Port Adelaide Constitution.

I trust this clarification will prevent further speculation that can only be harmful to the Port Adelaide brand.

The sharks are just media sharks. Annoying and constantly flapping their gums around, but no power over anyone or anything.
