Didn't pass the collingwood test

This is the board that got us into the afl. Mostly businessmen. I think Tony Hobby was an ex player, but only played a handful of games. In 1990 Dave Boyd was on the board at the time of the original bid

I've been a member since the late 80's and as far as I remember all board positions were elected prior to us entering the afl

That's how it originally worked in footy as well. We were mudholians in the 19th century as the Port was seen as a putrid mud hole. We embraced it. I would be happy for an organic nickname to emerge as well, rather than the dated 90s usa style nickname we chose. We'd probably end up called the...

'officially' adopted - they were using the nickname before we went into the AFL. There are about 1000 clubs, sporting and other, from the Port and le Fevre area using the 'Port Adelaide' brand - most have black and white as part of their colours - I don't think we should be bullying any of them...

Port Adelaide Pirates already exist and had that identity before we entered the AFL. I wouldn't be a fan of trying to bully them out of their nickname https://www.portpirates.com.au/

maybe - playing the opposition's song never used to be a thing pre AFL days. When you share a ground I get it, but it's just one of those irrational things that mildly irritates me. I like your home to be your fortress

having to play the opposition's song before the game and, especially after the game if they win, has always annoyed me

The look definitely stuck around with science and geography teachers and boys' club pedos well into the 80s

everyone's dad in the 1970s

Sad face. I was ready to go with the nickname 'Dim'

Oof. They're time's nearly up!!

Look at these blokes, thinking, thinking... what do we do? Who do we choose? Thinking, thinking... Hows the theatre!!

bold change I presume the old latin motto translated to 'Schoolgirls and Dwarf Tossing', so obviously no longer relevant in these woke times

As long as it's silver and teal - or be bold and bring back magenta. Magenta and teal PBs :fire::heart:😍

I predict the next away guernsey will be another crack at a BradtheBrain Memorial symphony in teal

Bloody hell, that looked like the Port Adelaide I remember playing finals. A win that's up there with the great finals wins in our 154 year history

I was refering to the old Stanley H Lewis

I'm pretty sure it was minor round only

Yeah, we all know it will be Collingwood Cos.

Exactly. As Donna has to keep telling him - making the cheese toasty is only half the job. You have to then clean the toasty maker and put it away

Is that the old carpet from Alberton?

If you're talking about Lycett, I watched a fair bit of the game on youtube and Lycett was moving about as well as my grandpa was after his third stroke. Sam Gray was only marginly more agile

I was silly enough to get into a couple of little 'debates' on reddit recently - and their arguments pretty much boil down to 'you can't sack a bloke that consistently takes us into the top 4' (little battler club punching above its weight) and 'he saved the club and if he goes we will...

Mission Accomplished Connor Rozee confirmed they'd stuck it up the critics after the game Friday night. Dicks are now unfurled and windmilling all the way into 2025

Is it halloween already? I'll have to nip to the IGA and get a bag of snack sized carrots for the little scallywags. I'm off the ****-halloween bandwagon now, after getting scolded for being anti fun a couple of years ago
