Simply because Port is one of 10 SANFL teams and the majority of the current population grew up in the areas that followed one of the other 9 teams (or 8 if you want to go that way).Fair enough but how?
How will it become less relevant?
Now we will have Norwood Vs Crows in the SANFL just like Norwood Vs Port. In the AFL it is one out of 2 teams.
Give it time (talking generation wise more than years) and the SANFL allegiances will be a thing of the past.
Port's biggest mistake was to listen to people telling it to grow the pie, not necessarily because it was the wrong thing to do but IMO the wrong time to try and do it.
