HB: Matthew Broadbent, Jackson Trengove, Hamish Hartlett
C: Jared Polec, Brad Ebert, Jasper Pittard
HF: Justin Westhoff, Charlie Dixon, Robbie Gray
F: Sam Gray, Jay Schulz, Chad Wingard
Foll: Matthew Lobbe, Travis Boak, Ollie Wines
I/C: Jimmy Toumpas, Matt White, Tom Jonas, Brendon Ah Chee

Pittard on the wing? Toumpas in your best 22? Im not convinced Dixon and Schulz will play in the same forward line


Why would they have kept Schulz and recruited Dixon, they wouldn't have both for security reasons.
I don't mind Pittard up the field, he's a goer who finds the ball and is let down by disposal, at least his turnovers would be further from the opposition goals.

I like the idea of the walk, but i hate how footy clubs try and appropriate some of the heritage of war, i.e Peter Badcoe etc.

piss off, they were fighting for all of us, not fighting for the port adelaide footy club.

Agree.

On the same sort of line i cant stand to watch any broadcasted ANZAC Day footy. Makes me cringe every time you here the commentators whether that be tv, radio, AFL, SANFL compare the football match to being in the trenches etc etc.

I don't think the season is long enough to roll out all the guernseys over the last 20 years ;)

First the Crows celebrate their 24th birthday and now the Power celebrate their 19th birthday.

Carn Wedgie.

We are not celebrating a "birthday", or "anniversary". We are wearing a jumper which was worn for our first ever game in the AFL to commemorate the start of our 20th season in the AFL, 1997 being season 1, not 0.

Play on.

Do people celebrate their 21st birthday or their 21st year 12 months earlier?

The whole concept is stupid, doesn't matter what clubs or who does it. Perhaps I should have asked for long service leave at the start of my tenth year!

Without drawing you a picture, a football season lasts longer than one day. Kapeesh? It's not rocket science.

A year in someones life last longer than a football season but a celebration is held when that year is complete as do 99.9% of celebrations for anything in this world. It obviously is rocket science to you!
The only thing sillier than the Power following stupidly in the Crows claw prints is people that blindly argue the point as its their club. If any of my clubs did it I'd be just as outspoken but I'm not a sheep.

But if I was to celebrate my 21st YEAR of living I would start it the day after my 20th birthday & continue until my 21st birthday. Port are celebrating their 20th season so they do it the season after their 19th & before they complete their 20th. I think.

Pretty normal for clubs to celebrate milestones as a 10th, 20th, etc season rather than anniversary. They also mark the actual anniversary with an event, but usually the entire season is considered celebratory. I guess people have forgotten the AFL's 100th season came 99 years after the first.
