Club History Take the 4 point penalty. Then Win 3 flags

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

(Unless this is plot and wink from the AFL the Let It Go for now and we can wear it in the next showdown), I would say wear the PB Guernsey in defiance of the four point penalty.

Doing this will build the club and create a soul.

I was there 30 years ago at Alberton the week that Ken Cunningham was agitating to have us thrown out of the SANFL because of our AFL ambition.

Fair credit, the cretin was brave enough to be at Alberton the following week for the next game, but the shit that he got- well how many flags did we went after that?

I would say that if we took the Four Points penalty from the AFL for wearing the prison bar Guernsey against the Crows, I would put money on us to win the flag, and another soon behind that.

Club and legacy building us vs them stuff. I can't thank Eddie enough

I want us to take the 4 point penalty but if we do it we are not winning any flags. The umpires will be directed to cheat against us like what happens at SANFL level.

Something was up this morning when Koch got on the front foot and called out the AFL... he must've known this was coming.

 

[Imhotep]

I'm happy to die on this hill whatever the costs, take the 4 points take the fine take whatever punishment comes our way. Us against the rest baby Black and White for life.

 

[BornPort]

I said this in the other thread but it will be more than just 4 points. The AFL will do everything they can to screw us over for the next few years for defying them.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I'd like to see us wearing the bars in the warmups for the foreseeable future.

 

[finbarr]

I think now is the time to go all out towards making it our permanent jumper. Scrap the chevrons forever, and start with black w/silver bars home and silver w/black bars clash, slowly adding in more and more white.
I know this isn't popular with a lot of people but that's the way I'd go.

 

[Jack_1870]

The AFL are a bunch of '' See you next Tuesday's''

If that's the case there's no point ever standing for anything or even being in the comp.

We aren't allowed.

 

[backtozero]

lol no.

4 points could be the difference between top 4 or 5-8, and then what? Cop 4 points every time we want to wear it?

We keep pushing.

 

[JUSTWORK]

If we make the GF this year, run out in the bars and win.

 

[Rigs]

If we make the GF this year, run out in the bars and win.

then they'll carry the 4 points over to the following year

 

[El_Scorcho]

We aren't allowed.

They're not going to take points off of us for that though.

I wouldn't be against this, but only if it's silver and not teal.

If we'd joined the league in black and silver bars in 1997 we'd still be wearing them.

I wouldn't mind this to be honest

I think you need to be 40+ to understand "the old Port". to have lived through it. How the other clubs and the league truly hated us. How every game, every final was us against them. They were never just a game.

That is precisely what made us the club we were. Always. And then in the 80s it became Lee Whicker vs us, Max Basheer vs us, West lakes vs us, Ken Cunningham vs us, then the player retention scheme and Court cases. Everything they could always do to Penalise us. Suspending players before finals. Impede us

It's not just "and in spite of that" we won flags it was almost because of that.

I think our board would remember how valuable the us vs them was to the club. It WAS the club.

Beat the Crows, see them take the 4 points, challenge it in court.

And get the SANFL Port magpies merchandise kiosk out the front of every home game this year selling PB and magpie. I'd even wear a paper pull over "PB bib" to stick it to the AFL if there was one

I agreed wholeheartedly, it's our soul

 

[Hammer#8]

Wear the PBs during finals and cop it then. They can't stop us progressing the next week if we happen to win a QF/EF.

Even better, wear it on the big stage and tell them all to gagf.

No teal. As with the current clash they can put a flash of teal in the socks.

 

[Ports1870]

Yep we need to get as far away from teal as Possible

 

[elee]

WHAT IF WE WEAR IT IN THE playoffs or GRAND FINAL.. is the 4 point dock carried over??

 

[raman]

My preference is for PBs at home, and black or white chevron away depending on clashes.

You need the financial backing to challenge the salary cap and the draft. Then discuss terms to settle.
