I don't see what gives off that impression? That orangey-red and the font of 'we' are both from AFLW marketing (the logo and the current 'This is us' tagline). Everything else presented is the usual black, white, teal, silver colour scheme.
Im confused by the pledge system. They are asking us to back in the girls and say we will buy a membership, but there are no details on the membership package.
Actuall **** it Ill do it now anyway.

I so hope that they choose magenta and blue as secondary colours for the Port Adelaide Magentas in the AFLW. #CarnTheMaggies!!
The AFLW and Port: name, colours, and team song
Earlier this week I have awaken inspired. I couldn't resist making a sketch of a song's lyrics for our future AFLW team. Now, English is no...

I just told them I would volunteer.
It seems to soon to define anything. They are simply asking what would be our inclination at this point.

“I will let you know firsthand! It’s Donna!”

I’ll make tears from your Wines.
Why would we let everyone know that!

Yeah exactly. I mean you can say that but there is probably a pretty good chance the volunteer positions would be based in Adelaide.
Wtf, why?
Hire the best person who will win us a flag. I don't give a shit if they are male, female or non-binary as long as they win us premierships.
Because, like the whole concept of AFLW, its not about substance. Obviously we are using this as part of our pitch to be more favourable to our chances.

Yes, but it just gives someone else the opportunity to be first and effectively grab Erin.
The same issue with our first ‘attempt’.
Get the headline instead of the thing itself. It’s shitty.

I just made myself available, if the club understands there’s something useful I could do from here.

Perhaps you can set up the talent pathways for Brazil! If we can stock our AFLW team with top female athletes from a country of over 200 million people I'd say that would be a pretty decent competitive advantage

From the Age article
“Our ambition is absolutely to have a female coach in 2022,” Richardson said ahead of Port’s presentation on Thursday. “We think it’s really important for women in football to be able to create the opportunity for them at the start. That would be our intent, that our head coach would be a woman. We’re keen to make an appointment soon, ahead of AFLW, our head of AFLW program will also be a woman. There are some great women who have a lot of elite high-performance sport [and] commercial experience that will be important to lead the integration across our club.”
There are 2 candidates to fill the role(s) IMO - Erin Phillips and Naomi Maidment. You all know Erin but who is Naomi? She has been head of our Women's NGA program and coach for since 2018.
She played state junior and senior cricket, also played and coached woman's footy and in 2012 West Adelaide coach Andrew Collins got her involved with West Adelaide first in the women's footy program for 2 years and then she coached their U/16 boys team for 4 years.
Then Chris Davies and Shane Grimm came calling and appointed her as head coach of the NGA and basically have given her 4 years to prepare the young girls and herself for entry into the AFL.
If you understand Chris Davies, you know there has been a lot of lead up work gone into this in preparation for 2022 or 2023 if we don't get in straight away. Its not just something put together last month for the presentation.

“To eventually take a group we’ve had for four years through to the AFLW is really exciting. We’re already developing a list of players we can hopefully take forward.
From The Tsier article
The Port Adelaide Football Club will on Thursday formally put forward its case to the AFL that the club be granted the right to establish a women’s team and join the successful AFLW competition from the 2022-23 season. Club hierarchy, including chairman David Koch, board member Holly Ransom and chief executive Matthew Richardson, will tell AFL executives that the club is already well advanced in its planning and preparation for a women’s team and will be aiming to win premierships from its first season.
Among key pillars of the pitch are that the Power’s women’s captain will wear the coveted No. 1 jumper, spectators will belt out “Never Tear Us Apart” before games and that all home games will be played at Alberton Oval, which is undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation to, in part, develop new women’s change rooms and create a “premium AFLW match-day venue”.
Port will also detail how it is building its playing list, with emerging talent already identified through its Female Next Generation Academy. The club also plans to recruit local SANFLW talent overlooked in recent AFLW drafts, with an emphasis on recruiting Indigenous and multicultural talent.
The Power will next month appoint its first Head of AFLW, and has pledged it will be a woman and the process of identifying candidates for their inaugural head coach is also underway.

Naomi Maidment excited for the future of women's football at Alberton
Port Adelaide's Next Generation Academy women's coach is excited to be part of Port Adelaide's push into the AFLW.

For the same reason there's been talk about having AFLW showdowns in front of 50,000 people... even though the chances of getting football played at Adelaide Oval in the H&A season's new calendar slot are slim to none.
Pours cold water on what Essendon (80,000 members) and Hawthorn (all-female VFLW coaching panel) would describe as unique or key features of their bid, therefore directing the AFL's focus back on the actual key differentiating issues which will ensure Port aren't overlooked.
