pretty soon all they have will be to be proud of the past because if they cling to the black and white the future wont be too confident

Am I missing something? Where is it exactly that Port Adelaide lay claim to being the "Team for all South Australian's"? The inaccuracy is quite amusing.
Your ill-informed poorly thought out comment gives it no crdibility whatsoever.
Perhaps this week is all about heritage,one which you do not choose to recognise,but one that exists none the less.
Yeah, how about you read about the past players opinions and take some "thought" from them?
What i said was on the money Booney, so you can play hide and go f##k yourself.
Don't question me.
Ill-informed?
I think you are the one who is ignorant.

These former stars (who helped create Port Powers own traditions) make some interesting observations about the club attracting long term support...
I.e. distance itself from its magpie heritage....
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,22019523-21545,00.html"Of the coaching clinics we do, we estimate that there would be an 80-20 supporter split for the Crows ahead of the Power - and that's worrying," Francou, who played 156 games for Port from 1997-2006 and was runner-up for the Brownlow Medal in 2002, said.
That's an interesting comment. I would have guessed 70-30. Augurs badly for Port if that's the case.
In WA the split is more 60-40 and that's for an unsuccessful club like Freo who have a membership base of 43K. Yet a recent premiership club in Port is battling for numbers.

How about the fact that a quarter of the traditional WAFL clubs (ie excluding Peel Thunder) have Fremantle in their name?

That's one of the main criticisms levelled at the Crows ... no real heritage ... among a host of others![]()
Finally, I wonder how much these issues faced by PAP today can be linked to negative consequences from the failed bid to leave the SANFL in 1990. Or did current non-PAP supporters all hate PAM before then anyway? Even if we did hate them before then, the 1990 episode didn't exactly endear them to our hearts any further.
Freo in the west seem to have a bigger base with the Dockers seeminingly representing a couple of WAFL clubs based in that area.

Just about all the Vic clubs are wearing the same jumpers now as they did
in the 70's with maybe a few subtle changes...
The round is nothing but a marketing tool for the AFL to try and make more money.
