Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[Slippery Pete]

There are leagues in the world with teams with the same "nickname/mascot".

Really?

 

[screech]

Koch was on AA again this morning whinging about the prison bars.

I know that opinions are divided here about who is wrong or right...

Hard to know without being a Port supporter but surely constantly putting the prison bars on a pedestal, going on about it all year every year, sort of permanently relegates their current jumper to an unwanted second best, something they can't really embrace and get behind?

I can't imagine constantly wishing we were wearing another jumper whenever we ran out.

Maybe some of those white away strips are as close as I can imagine haha

Their current re-coloulered state jumper replica is a good one, if I'm them, I'm forgetting about the prison bars for a period of time and really building a marketing push around pride in the current jumper or they'll forever be disappointed.

Hey, maybe wear their 2004 premiership jumper in their "heritage" showdowns and we can wear a design from the first showdown too.

I would like to see us acknowledge our history and annually each year wear the guernsey of each of the SANFL clubs that we were formed from. Would be nice to start with Woodville and Torrens over the first two years to acknowledge the sacrifice of their identities that were helped along by our creation (taking 40 players out of the competition). On each occasion have a pre-match where tribute is given to that club's history, motorcade of past champions and ex-crows that originated from that club, video tribute to the deceased club greats, etc.

Could get very interesting in the 10th year when it is Port Adelaide's turn

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I think they could get the prison bars back but how can there be two Magpies teams in the afl?

Port dont want to be the Magpies in the AFL. They have made that clear time and time and time again.

 

[GROTTO]

lol

For now

 

[GROTTO]

Correct.

IIRC When Port entered the competition, they were known as Port Power, this slowly became Port Adelaide Power.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Super player. What an incredible result from the Judd trade for WC. Incredible really.

+ Masten too I think.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Darling is the one who kills us every time. Murray probably goes to him

Or Worrell.

Would be a good learning experience.

 

[George Kramer]

Funny, listening to 5AA and talking about love triangle including Chalmers, Cornsey said Love triangles aren't easy. Rowey responds with something like "You'd know?". Forgetting about Cornsey's ex and McGuiness. Awkward, they both laughed it off though.

Port dont want to be the Magpies in the AFL. They have made that clear time and time and time again.

Unless Collingwood change their jumper and forfeit their brand, Port Power doesn't have rights to the white and black strip jersey in the AFL since the AFL was created from the VFL and not SANFL. The AFL pay all the clubs to play in their competition as franchises.

West Coast crushed that trade. When you look across sports, you almost never get even close to breaking even on the trade of a superstar.
West Coast won that trade.
Remarkable.

 

[DJ75]

For now

No. They just want to cannibalise the heritage for their new franchise.

 

[GROTTO]

What a way for Bigfooty to greet me Good Morning letting me know how many unread messages and posts I have.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

The answer to this jumper thing is quite simple.

Get the AFL, Collingwood, Port and Adelaide to sign off legally that they can wear the jumper at the Port Home Showdown and that is it. No more and it can’t be changed without the full agreement of all four parties.

Do this and we would see Port’s true intentions.

That's it, if people can't understand why the Pies keep saying no given Port's history I don't know what more to say.

 

[Jars458]

Did anyone watch Footy Classified last night?

They asked Kane Cornes if he thought Ken should be coaching next year. His response was he needs more information, more data before he could form an opinion.

This is the club he follows more closely than any other (some would say he follows our club closer, but you know what I mean).

And is the first to throw stones at the 17 other clubs without all the facts.

But turned to jelly when he had to have an opinion at Port.

What a weak human.

Very very average.

Are you guys prohibited from the design itself or is it just the colours? Isn't a prison bar design with teal a step in the right direction?

 

[arrowman]

+ Masten too I think.

Yes.

The deal saw Judd and pick No.46, which was used to recruit Dennis Armfield, sent to the Blues in exchange for full-forward Josh Kennedy, pick No.3 (Chris Masten) and pick No.20 (Tony Notte).

 

[arrowman]

OK not AFL, but I thought this was good (on Twitter, re the Women's Euro final):

Men: It's coming home, football's coming home, it's coming....

Women, 56 years later: FFS I'll get it.

Kochie throwing around threats of pulling out of SANFL, serve then with an invoice for monies owed,
jam your prison bars up the cash cows arse and throw them out
Kochie you are an embarrassment to the game of football

 

[GreyCrow]

Why do Port feel the need to wear the sanfl jumper only against us?

 

[footy4ever]

Why do Port feel the need to wear the sanfl jumper only against us?

exactly. ****ing w***ers.

 

[George Kramer]

Why do Port feel the need to wear the sanfl jumper only against us?

It’s their idea of a heritage round as we they are our little cousin

say on SEN tonight that they do welcome to country before every meeting they have.
Seems like that’s a bit overboard correcting their past indiscretions.

Yet keep threatening to leave the SANFL.

So much for tradition.

Is it an Eddie McGuire voice-over...
