Instead of Power what would you prefer

Port Adelaide Ferals

What we can do is avoid marketing ourselves like a Big Bash franchise.

By marketing ourselves like an NFL franchise?

 

[Butters and Pepper]

We were a power in the SANFL so named ourselves the power in the AFL... I think that's how it went?

I think(?) it was more "power at the ball" and "power at the opposition who have the ball"....at least that's how I recall Jack Cahill explaining it at one stage.

From memory, there was also some connection to the club's motto at the 1979 Grand Final against South.

 

[GremioPower]

I know we all wish we were still the MAGPIES but unfortunately we can't.
So we settled on POWER.
Don't get me wrong the POWER chant does sound amazing.
But if we could rename what would be your preference.
Ive heard Dolphins and Pirates but what else is there.

And yes im bored

Maggies

Next.

Port Paterson would be more fitting given it was the location of two former power stations.

Once Where Power (ful)

Dolphins is better and had the obvious Port river connection.

The trouble is most of the names we come up with sound a little childish I think, maybe that's why they settled on the power.

I hear that Donuts Hinkley is going to get a whole new suburb named after him so maybe the Port Donuts in honour of his coaching achievements.

This was settled years ago:

I can picture the crowd chanting 'SEAMEN' instead 'POWER'.
Doesn't suit our AFLW side. Would have to change it to SEAFARERS.

They'd be the most disappointing donuts you've ever tasted. Promise so much but actually tasteless.

Carn bomber you know you want it!

Lol. As if that is how it would have played out.

The advocates of the Pirates branding have this ideal in their head of how it would have turned out but the reality is that it would have been a total disaster given the types of decisions being made at the time and the people making them.

Think less Captain Blackbeard and more Captain Feathersword.

So like actual Krispy Kreme then?

We would have to get rid of 'Thunda' power and replace him with a new mascot

I would've gone with Pirates, easy to market & bad ass logo ideas galore the kids would've loved it but it's putting toothpaste back in the tube stuff now.

I'm wondering what difference it made, if at all, having the Dockers come into the league two years before we did.

You've got their logo with a bloke holding an anchor and with Port potentially thinking about going down the Raiders (Pirates) style of branding, it was probably a bit too similar.

Who gives a shit about nicknames. We are Port Adelaide Football Club, no need for anything else. I'm pleased that the club has now downplayed the nick name theme through out.

Port Adelaide Red Bulls.

Private ownership (i know the AFL doesnt do this but id be for it)

 

[GoldbergsGold]

I wonder why Port fans hate Power. It's a pretty strong sounding nickname, like Bombers, Eagles or Hawks. I prefer it over Magpies.
