The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[Rising Power]

Agreed Port should of left when going into the AFL but the SANFL didn't want to lose it's biggest commodity.
Interesting if they had have left if we would still hear the same froff about Port not being Port

.... And kill off the Magpies?
I've met plenty of Port fans that stuck by the black and white. They're the biggest sufferers in this whole saga IMO. The final tragedy being that now the Power might truly leave, they'll possibly sacrifice the Magpies in order to do it.
P.S WTF is Morrel doing back on this thread? Didn't he do the old "I'm too good for this and I ain't never coming back" spiel about one hundred pages ago?

Nah don’t worry about the real Magpies fans TRB, apparently they have plenty of Power fans now and don’t need them.

Re:Morrell ........ We wish!

Brian Cunningham must be a raving lunatic then, when he gives his version of events as the first PAFC CEO in the AFL, 29:00 to 34:00 marks - https://www.spreaker.com/user/portfanra ... esktop_app

Without even watching it, I have the utmost respect for Bucky but that doesn’t mean to say I have to agree with everything he says.

There are some Magpies supporters who didn’t want Port in the AFL and don’t support the Power because of this, I know that’s hard to believe for some but it’s true!

[amber_fluid]

Wow. So the Magpie fans are abjectly and universally wrong?

Kidding yourself

Wow. So *the club itself* is wrong and a few stubborn fools are right?

Kidding yourself.

I can't be any clearer that this - Magpies "fans" that think the SANFL team is the real Port and the Power are interlopers would constitute about 1% of the Port Adelaide Football Club community. If that. It's just that the tiny minority happen to congregate on safooty a bit and probably amongst the few that still go to SANFL games.

The remaining 99% would be on board with the One Club and the AFL - with various degrees of fervour, sure, but this really is a non-argument.

Seriously stop making figures up as it’s making you look silly.
99%

I think that hardcore group has either softened in recent times, has walked away since the unification or has come on board. I don't think that hard core group is as large in numbers or as vocal as it was 3-4 years ago and certainly not what it was 10-15 years ago.

56k members. Many more than that "supporters" who I would count as part of the community. Roy Morgan research estimated a total supporter base of 298k for Port in 2017.

1% of 298,000 is 2,980.

You think there would be more than three thousand people that are Magpies only fans? I don't.

Correct.

It's now an incredibly small number of people, in the scheme of things.

You’re probably right but there is still plenty that do exist.
To pretend otherwise like Morrell is, is just plain silly.

[morell]

Not trying to get out of anything. I couldn't give a flying **** if you believe me or not. I deal in truisms. The truth is Port have 56k members. Rounded up to the nearest 1k.

Another truism is Roy Morgan estimates our total supporter base at 298k

My estimation, of 1% of our supporter base being Magpies only fans, is therefore, quite accurate when you consider the numbers that attend SANFL games. Plus just anecdotally. I know a lot of Port fans. Can count the Maggies only ones on half of one hand.

Define "plenty"

I think three thousand people is "plenty".

But in the scheme of things. It's really not.

Hey Amber, why don’t you and all your Real Port Buddies just start up and new club like AFC Wimbledon or FC United. Instead of the Teal Port Adelaide you could be the Real Port Adelaide. Hang on, that could be your slogan. Forget the Teal, join the Real.

If you can scratch only the 3,000 members left that Morrell has scientifically calculated on his smart phone, you’d still have more members than most of the traditional SANFL Clubs would have. We’d welcome you back with open arms and apparently you don’t even need to go through any formalities to do it, just start a team. Jo has a spare oval you can use and you could even call yourself the Magpies.

There’s that word Mythical again. Has there been a Harry Potter season on the box recently or something

[morell]

I don't see any evidence that this population of people exist beyond the numbers I've spoken about. If there is research out there, or even a well formed hypothesis put forward, then I'm all ears

Until that time, it's a myth, in the truest sense of the word.
