Port Magpies to be dissolved. Is it true?

[UK Fan]

ignorance is bliss i guess

another positive of ignorance is it makes it easier to blame everybody else for your mess. Good point you make Macca, I would stay ignorant if i was you.

Thats been the case with a few of North threads this year, apart from the usual suspects the north supporters haven't been posting as much as usual IMHO.

Doesn't the Port Magpies of today have the same associated club number as an Alberton based club did in 1995?

Good to see Griffin made the real scapegoats accountable.

The post Jarman era - nothing to bitch and whinge about since our clubs rigged Board Elections.

This is a web-based forum so users have to have both access to the net plus computer skills. Must be a rare combination for those supporters

uk fan , as i have stated, read what tredrea has said, and what i have said, the sanfl put alot of conditions on port to join the afl. port did not wont to leave a side in the sanfl. the debate should be,should port have been allowed to join the afl, considering how domanant they were, or was the sanfl wrong in allowing port to join, considering how much of a mess we have 12 years later .

Mr O . Read what I have said. Did Port agree to those conditions in 1996 ????
Did the SANFL and 8 SANFL clubs put a gun to Ports head and make them sign ????

If you remember correctly and stop re-writing history Port really really wanted to join the AFL and maybe didnt do their sums properly in their haste to achieve the 2nd licence in the AFL. And maybe also made false promises on the size of crowds they could attract. How is that 15 years later the WAFC or the SANFLS fault ???

We gave Port Adelaide and Magpies everything to be successful. Even Tredrea will admit the port Magpies only has its own administation to blame for its financial situation. So why blame the SANFL ??

Seems to me SANFL did their research and worked out a good deal for itself.

Mr O. Port were never ever going to join the AFL independently. I think they learnt that lesson the hard way in 1991. ??? Sitting back and claiming not our fault we should have got in indepenently (a situation that was never achievable)is quite simply pathetic.

To point the blame back onto the agreed sanctions from 15 years ago as an excuse is laughable.The two clubs have got compeltely seperate issues off the field. None of which could possibly be blamed on the SANFL.

Only the truly dimwitted would even entertain this theory. ie Most Port fans

Isnt Port MAgpies supporting the NAFC with its claim against the Power.

Just another scapegoat theory bites the dust I guess. Watch out the Thunderbirds.

When are Port going to announce their new CEO? The person that is going to lead them out of their existing troubles where Matthew Richardson couldn't after 5 years in the position?????

Port is in a vastly better position than it was 5 years ago. Perhaps we should have just taken the easy option and merged like your mob did.

But what team would have agreed to merge with Port Adelaide??

[Sojourner]

But what team would have agreed to merge with Port Adelaide??

The team that broke away from then and was based also at Alberton Oval perhaps????

[beenreal]

But what team would have agreed to merge with Port Adelaide??

Perhaps Norwood should. At least then you'd have a clubroom to go back to.

Port Adelaide's financial position has been wildly overstated. 6 other clubs made a bigger loss than Port but didn't create the hysteria. Glenelg have a 3M debt but that doesn't make a headline.

5 years ago there was no hotel license. 5 years ago the League was struggling, the Reserves were struggling and there was NO work being put into the Juniors.

Jump forward to the present and the League are competitive and filled with talented kids. The Reserves are entrenched in the top 5, and the U18s are thrashing just about everyone!

I'm sorry to bud into this argument, but I thought I'd ever see the day that a Port Magpie would be saying that being 7th with a 4-9 record and no hope of playing in the finals was being competitive!!!

My statement was comparing the past to the present. If you want to isolate a small portion to suit your argument go right ahead. As for finals? Win each week and we make it, starting with tomorrow!
