Heard this version of The Sound of Silence on the radio today.
Been around for 7 years yet I never heard it before.
Sent shivers down my spine.
Thought I would share it.

I was not really liking the version at the beginning, but it grew on me.
Checked out some of their other stuff.
Might download some and see if it strikes a chord.
So far looks promising.

Port Adelaide, the club that bangs on incessantly about tradition and about their long history and about wanting to wear their prison bars jersey, now want to leave the sanfl.

Hypocrites.
Sounds like a massive win for us.
Port field their own “power” reserves and the port Adelaide magpies go back to being standalone SANFL team.
No more wannabe magpies in the AFL.

I'm pretty sure they're planning on not having a team in the SANFL at all, so the Port Adelaide magpies would be gone.

Port Adelaide greats say it would be the right decision for the club to leave the SANFL to join a national reserves competition.

The SANFL’s most successful club with 36 premierships, Port Adelaide recently had another meeting with the AFL where it reaffirmed its desire to join a national reserves competition if the league establishes one.

Port greats said it would be the right avenue for the club to pursue and it wouldn’t impact the history it had created in the SANFL.

Four-time SANFL premiership player, three of them as captain, and former chief executive Brian Cunningham – who was part of the club’s successful bid to join the AFL – said it was never the intention of Port Adelaide to remain in the SANFL when it joined the national league in 1997.

He said despite the club having a plan for its reserves, the SANFL insisted the Port Magpies remain in the state league – which led to them being sent to Ethelton before the ‘One Club’ reunification campaign.

Seven-time SANFL premiership player and former board member George Fiacchi said the current model could not continue.

“Sooner or later they have to pull the plug and do something because it has not worked for either team and the league,” he said.

“My personal preference would be I love the SANFL, that’s where I played my footy and I love the competition but if you look at it independently it is not working and we are going to have these discussions on a continuous basis unless something changes.

On Thursday, Port Adelaide chief executive Matthew Richardson said he believed fans would support the club’s push for a national reserves competition.

“Yes we celebrate our past and rich heritage, and that is what has gotten us to this point,” he said.

“But Port Adelaide has always been about moving forward and what is next and what we are talking about here is what is best for Port Adelaide and more importantly what is best for football.”

Cunningham said he expected fans to do as they did in 1994 and back the club striving to have success at the ultimate level.

“We don’t lose the history, it is there and it remains forever and the Prison Bar guernsey will definitely be used in the future still as it has done in the past popping up periodically and people will wear them with pride and the players will wear it proudly when they get the opportunity to do so,” he said.

“So we aren’t losing any history, what we are doing is creating the future for Port Adelaide and if the Adelaide Footy Club is of the same mind you have the two top clubs playing in the best competition in Australia being really strong.

Fiacchi said there would be some Port fans against the push.

“I think there needs to be a lot of PR around this because there are people like myself who grew up with Port Adelaide in the SANFL and when you take them out it will be a massive change,” he said.

They certainly aren't giving up on the idea of wearing the "prison bars".

Can’t imaging that would be all that popular with traditional Port fans.

Port Power and Port Adelaide.
2 seperate entities.
As it should be.
In fact…. As it was when Power first joined the AFL. Port Adelaide magpies were a separate entity, and through osmosis over the years they merged.

Edit: the word osmosis could be substituted with stealth or theft.

Just a reminder that breakdancing makes its entry into the Olympics in Paris next year.

Competition will be conducted underneath the Awful Tower.

It can be a grim world, so it's important to have these things to look forward to.

I'm not sure that Jeff Dunne, Australia's rep, is much of a medal chance. Those South Korean and Japanese dancers take their craft pretty serious, they practically duck-dive out of the womb.

But I'll be cheering Dunny, because he's a battler.

 
melbourne cup....a reflection of life.... the worker gets to return to the stables and eat hay..... the manager on his back gets a decent living and a few slaps on the back...and the owners get all the profits and sit back and watch and drink piss...

Winner would also be guaranteed a good root, to continue the winning bloodline.

Men have gone to war for less.
