Yep. This is a good point.Everything can be reviewed, everything can be revisited. If I was in charge of the club, we'd have worn them and copped a premiership point deduction a couple of times so they AFL realised what we were willing to concede to achieve our outcome here.
The AFL don't want the integrity of the competition compromised over a guernsey, and they've pushed back because they know we'll fold. It's time to stop folding.
Bashing up the opposition and making them lose their sh1t. That is the Prison Bar way.
I love this Detroit-Bad-Boys vibe that Port Adelaide has…
Loved the bars on Saturday night. Best thing was the zero song and dance about it. The quicker it becomes part of the furniture the better, like Brisbane wearing the Fitzroy jumper interstate.
Small sample size but from what I could tell on the Collingwood board, Port wearing the bars did not even register on their radar so that's a good sign that the gnashing of teeth in the Eddie years has passed on by.
Obviously its important to keep the regularity of the home showdown for now, but eventually I hope we have more discretion to switch to wearing it in a game (ANZAC day?) or home games of our choosing. A) they are somewhat wasted on the crows and b) I think aesthetically the showdowns work well with some teal to diffuse the tingle guernsey.
It's not a ploy it's just was done last year and now it's normalised. Literally no one cared last year and the faux outraged died fast, if the club had a real leader we could have forced the issue years ago, given up nothing for it and be wearing it whenever we want at home, probably 3 or 4 times when it suits a clash better. Except, here we are still run by a club who'se leadership do not want it and do not understand the history behind it, fun times.I think this was a deliberate ploy by mainstream media not to even discuss it. It was becoming counter productive for Collingwood to keep challenging it in the end. They will pipe up some more if we begin to request it in other matches outside of the showdown.

Rosemary having a crack at the PBs, saying that it makes us more aggressive or something like that.
Unintended consequences of Dan being marched off to the tribunal.
Good point. The AFL couldn't wait to push old Fitzroy off up north like a dirty secret after propping them up since the 60s. The silence around Brisbane adopting their old guernsey for away matches to appease the old ' Royboy ' supporters is deafening, although I have to admit to being perplexed why they wear it for away games anywhere other than Melbourne.Loved the bars on Saturday night. Best thing was the zero song and dance about it. The quicker it becomes part of the furniture the better, like Brisbane wearing the Fitzroy jumper interstate.
The all round opposition to Port wearing the PB's considering these two examples beggars belief.
Pretty fair point. Still can't get away from the fact though that seeing the old South Melbourne jumper run around must get under the nails of more than a few of the traditional South people, although in hindsight most of them would likely have passed on by now.Lions and Swans are VFL clubs. They don’t harm, but reinforce the myth of a Victorian football that finally spread itself beyond the state borders.
Port doesn’t fit into the narrative. We are the only constant reminder that there actually was football outside of Victoria.
We are a problem the league probably regrets have brought upon itself. Thus, we are treated accordingly.

Would be pissing McGuire off - if he is back from Paris - which is a good thing.
