Port to wear black and white at footy Pk heritage rounds

[PortAdelaideProud]

Why dont they wear the guernsey they wore on their first AFL game in the 90s
This is the Port Power football club a decade old in the AFL
This is not Port Magpies, the real balck + white team of the SANFL

There is no such club called the Port Power Football Club.

sorry, but again, you can't have it all ways to suit you...
Port Power & Port Adelaide Power are the names you guys have called yourself- your song says your "the Power from Port"
Port Power was used upon entry into the AFL, to attempt to lure (read selling out history) to gain non-Port Adealide Magpies support.
When they realised this may alienate there current supporter base, they attempted to back-flip into "hang on, we're not Port Power, we're "Port Adelaide Power"- really, who gives a shit?
Just like the history of the club is altered to suit the argument at hand- we're a new club/we're an old club etc.

Port Power= split personalities!

They always were lyin' cheatin' thuggish psychopaths, as exemplified by good old Portites like Grave Danger.

You need to get over your self imposed blindness to the facts which,on many occasions have been presented to you.

The club,which was in the SANFL until 1997,and now competes in the AFL is The Port Adelaide Football Club.The club which,in 1997 was formed is The Port Adelaide Magpies FC.They compete in the SANFL.

The 'Power" is merely a nickname.

Are North Adelaide the North Adelaide Roosters Football Club? No.

Are Collingwood the 'Collingwood Magpies Football CLub"? NO.

FFS! How many ******* times will this need to be explained to you? Pretty simple,perhaps people who dont understand are the same way inclined,simple.

ROTFLMAO

Fight, Fight ,Fight.....

Pfft there is a very simple solution to this, kick both Collingwood and Port Power out of the AFL and they can play in their own monochrome league....

Check that, if we kick them out we wouldn't have a club or group of supporters to mock and pity.....

Im sure we could find another club to pick on...........................St Kilda and Geelong spring to mind

Punky I am not a Port fan, in fact on some level I hate them like most non-Port supporters.

But with all due respect I think you are looking at this through your "I hate Port Adelaide" goggles.

Technically speaking, Port Adelaide Football Club has 36 (or whatever it is) SANFL premierships to 1996. From 1997, they moved to the AFL and now have 1 AFL premiership.

It's seems illogical but that's technically the way it is.

Port Adelaide Magpies in the SANFL are actually a new club. Whether that club can claim some of the 1870-1996 heritage is debateable but is it really that big a deal?

If you are waiting for Punky to exercise some common sense and agree,dont hold your breathe.

Common sense 'aint so common.

Theres always Glenelg supporters to mock. And to think they have no come back because their pathetic excuse of a club has done SFA in their entire history.

Pfft, done one thing your club has never done, beat Port in a GF the suspposed true measure of credibility in the SANFL...

Actually you're wrong mate, but don't take it to heart as I believed as you did for many a year and preferred it that way as it meant my SANFL club had more premierships than the Port SANFL club.

After some investigation with a few others a few years back it was discovered.

The Port Adelaide Football Club actually changed their name to the Port Adelaide Magpies Club, ie same club, slightly different name, so the Power (ie new club) could take ownership of that name.
The entity that one over 30 premierships in the SANFL is still in the SANFL all be it with a changed name from 1996.
The entity in the AFL was created in 1996/7 and adopted the name that the Magpies left them.

FACT, I had to admit I was wrong (which I dont like doing as most who know me realise) when I found out the above, it was all confirmed with copies of official documentation at the time when we investigated it.

So in summary, The Power despite being the PAFC only have 1 premiership at any level to their name (not including preseason cups).
The Magpies despite changing their name in 1996/7 are still the same club that was always in the SANFL and are the only club that can lay claim to all those SANFL premierships.
I'd prefer it be the other way around but its simply not the case lads.

i guess most people hate Port and Collingwood with a passion. The former for their success and their supporters forever reminding us. The latter for their mediocrity but unabashed and un-justified arogance. I think I prefer the locals at least they have a proud record behind them in all it's reincarnations. Why can't there be two losers in a Port vs Collingwood match?

I dont hate Collingwood with a passion, never have, I can understand how Carlton or Essendon fans hate them with a passion (just like I can understand why Norwood supporters hate Port here) but the South Australians with anti-Victorian chips on their shoulders annoy me, I find it pathetic.

[mick]

I'm sorry Wedgie, I have a bit of an anti-victorian bias because they ripped the balls off the SANFL with their extended VFL, I guess we have to agree to disagree

That goes against everything I have ever heard or understood ..... but it does line up with the 'history' section of the Port Magpies web site. And if you have uncovered the documents then that would be the authority. So I'll stand corrected (and apologise to Punky) unless I hear otherwise.

Interestingly, the web site explains the situation as tho the 1996 club was split in to 2 so that "both clubs share the history from 1870 to 1996".

Yeah I think we can all safely dispel that as crap but some morons are probably stupid enough to believe it.

Let's split North up into 10 pieces so we can have 130 premierships.

Just to add to the previous point, as the Magpies just changed their name legally (and weren't new), their existing player contracts, board members, staff, etc could still continue.
It would have been a constitutional, legal and paper nightmare if the club that was in the SANFL moved into the AFL.

I'm sorry Wedgie, I have a bit of an anti-victorian bias because they ripped the balls off the SANFL with their extended VFL, I guess we have to agree to disagree

Yep mate, we will, and you're not alone on this issue, my parents have the same ideals as you do on this matter.

I guess now we await Booney to come in & make disparaging remarks about you now....

But with all due respect I think you are looking at this through your "I hate Port Adelaide" goggles.

& Port supporters aren't looking through rose coloured glasses?
For the record, I have no more hatred for Port than I have for the Crows, or have for St Kilda etc... (I devote my hatred to Glenelg)

Booney does seem clouded by his blind loyalty to his club, so as to gloss over the truth & sees things as he wants to see it

[Punk Rooster]

Common sense 'aint so common.

Why should I agree with a false statement?
Your right about common sense not being common...

Now you all know that is FACT and not opinion maybe people like pap and the rest of the power fans can take off the blinkers but i doubt it.
