ONE Port Adelaide Football Club

[PhoenixPower]

Playing the devils advocate card, why wouldn't the PAFC push for complete independence, reserves side and for both the Power and Magpies to join forces if the AFL will remove the license from the SANFL if this is not given the go ahead?

im sure thats what will happen if its voted down

My understanding was we only wanted to focus on the off field side of the merger as it was more likely to be approved that way. I also remember hearing that the crows would be the one to push the reserve side agenda meaning it will be a smoother process coming from the crows.

All the media talk is saying that its a sure thing to get approval.

....... As it is, ONE Port will still have Magpies players segregated like they are PAMFC. ......

They will be segregated because they will still belong to a different club. It now seems apparent to me that the ONE Port Adelaide Football Club initiative will still result in TWO Port Adelaide Football Clubs, the PAFC and its subsidiary the PAMFC. Two clubs is two clubs regardless of how the ownership is structured.

From what I have read recently it is not going to be;

..... The united Port Adelaide Football Club will field teams in two competitions - the Power in the AFL and the Magpies in the SANFL ...

as the club has maintained here.

There will still be a PAMFC. I feel i have been sold a pup.

I dont reckon the AFL has made an "offer" as such... more of a "threat"

its just good business for all concerned to get this through and underpin the PAFC, and therefore the SANFL.

The AFL could see that its pure arrogance and pigheadedness that stopped it the first time, so I believe they have come in waiving their slipper and telling everyone to play nice or were all going to bed without supper

Hmmm maybe you haven't watched Godfather. The offer was a threat

 

[P.A.F.C]

This extra corporate interest surely links in with Port's second sponsor for 2011, as Aussie ATM only had a one year contract with the club. Maybe some local companies are wanting to get their name on both guernsey's, with the clubs under a united banner, rather than risking supporting one with the mess of an identity situation at the moment.

Hopefully this goes through and an announcement for a second sponsor will be made shortly after.

It seems like a parent company arrangement. The reality is the Port Adelaide Football Club can no longer be debated against as being the 1870 established identity.

So will these mean all Port Adelaide listed players will play at the Magpies ala the situation with VFL teams and their AFL affiliates?

 

[The Floodbuster]

What time is the vote?

The meeting is at 6pm. Centrals & North are now on board, proxy vote until tomorrow night for magpies members to change the constitution.

 

[Portia]

No. That is what is most bullshit about all this.

Nah mate, thats one thing that one happen.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

So which Port Magpie members get to vote? The current 1200 or the 6,000 (or whatever the figure was) listed for the 2010 season?

And how many of those were from other clubs doing their bit for local footy and would they vote the way the league and the Port Adelaides want them to vote?

 

[Gus]

No. That is what is most bullshit about all this.

Nah mate, thats one thing that one happen.

Then why One Club?

Say the magpies win a premiership- is that going to be added to the PAFC 36 now? would it have been before?

seems a bit silly to just unite the club in an off-field business sense if you aren't going to go the whole hog.

Port, the SANFL and the AFL have determined significant financial advantages for the Power to go down this path.

Thanks.


I don't like the whole thing, but that's just me.

 

[PhoenixPower]

I'm at the club now. Half the board + ginever and fiacchi are here but not got any news yet

 

[Asgardian]

No. That is what is most bullshit about all this.

In the long term this will be corrected, IMO.

But at this stage it's just baby steps, we get the SANFL clubs to accept what is currently on offer and keep working till we get what we want.

Softly, softly, catchee monkey.

Unless there is some special sort of clause in the PAMFC's constitution, then 2010 paid up members are allowed to vote at any meetings until the 2010 AGM - or an AGM that approves the 2010 accounts in case it happens in early 2011. Not sure what is the case with 2011 members voting at a special meeting.

The Port Club says fully paid up members as at 30 September can vote at the AGM which is in Dec straight after the PAFC Ltd AGM.

This is from the Port Club's ie
