Thats right, you were not good enough to get in the AFL. Not enough teams to merge with or something by memory.

Are you one of those Port fans that stated "12th" was a successful year? What happened to "we exist to win Premierships"? False advertising if you ask me...would rip up my membership card over those comments by the Port hierarchy

You guys have got a new away strip that you stole from the Sydney Mardi-Gras, so it's all even.
Atleast we have a decent clash strip.
Hmmmmm.... Just as I suspected, he's still a tosser.

LOL. Even harder to take anything that Gets! says seriously then on those standards.
Oh ok. So you're saying Warren Tredrea is similar to Gets then. Fair enough. Not a bad comparison I guess.

Tredders66 has already done that. Remember, his 'membership is in flames'.
come on mr morg, get some new material, you have been trolling on that pic for over a year now
.Be creative 
I was only reflecting your comments on Port Adelaide playing against inferior clubs in the SANFL, that inferred that now that we are in the AFL we'll struggle... and showing that the same applies to Collingwood since the expansion really started in 1987 and you have to play against non-Victorian clubs.
Your record since 1987 demonstrates that you are barely meeting average (1 premiership in 20 years, 3 GF's in 20 years, 8 finals series in 20 years ), and in fact struggled a little more than our modest record (1 premiership in 10 years
What was that you were saying about logic?
Time will tell.
Well done in 2004 by the way. I my opinion you guys should have won at least 2 flags in the early part of this decade, Port WERE pretty good...ladder leaders 3 years in a row right?
Just goes to show that the flags might be a bit harder to come by in this competition.

Agreed.
Also, competing with 15 AFL teams instead of 8 SANFL teams makes it naturally harder, just as competing with 15 AFL teams instead of 11 VFL teams is.

Tredrea said: “Whatever it takes, it’s the attitude that is expected by every player since 1870. It’s the attitude that is handed down from generation to generation, to accept, respect and uphold. It’s the attitude that is demanded each time a player wears the guernsey and crosses the white line. It’s the reason why the Port Adelaide Football Club is one of the most successful clubs in the world…Be assured, we are doing whatever it takes to win the next Premiership. After-all, it’s the reason we exist.”
If anyone wanted further proof, here it is.

Lets not also forget that Centrals has shown that dynasties can still be created and maintained in the SANFL. There is no chance in the AFL structure for a team to make so many GFs in a row its a whole new ball game with a level playing field where every club is as hungry as the next.

Because the VFL was becoming a national competition and thus would in fact be the clear numero uno going forward. Football history didn't start in 1987 though (or '91 for all you Crows fans playing at home) so Port won plenty of VFL/AFL equivalent SANFL flags from about 1900-1980.

Its funny this thread wasn't directed at anyone in particular but who was first to jump on it? Adelaide supporters. Look at it how you will but I think anyone looking from the outside in can put 2 and 2 together
Ah, but I used to disagree about when the history of the PAFC started, but then I realised that that meant discounting another piece of SANFL history (which the V/AFL love to do - i.e. Ports' heritage guernsey, father/son rule, lack of Hall of Fame Members from both SA and WA and other cases).
So I now agree with the whole history thing, and am prepared to stand up for Port fans in this debate - if not, we as SA fans are just trying to cut out another part of SANFL history.

when was the last time the power played a home game at alberton???????
i wouldn't be proud of the fact you kicked the maggies to the curb, made them train at ethelton and took their pokies as well!!!!
PAMFC were a new entity and it was the rest of the SANFL that insisted they be kept away from Alberton. It's the height of hypocrisy to blame this on PAFC.when was the last time the power played a home game at alberton???????
