Nice way to demean our own competition and the hundred plus years that goes with it
I never thought i,d say this but i think Freo should pass the chip over to Port fans.

Dude, give it up. No one cares about the history or how many state flags you have except Port fans.
The poll never lies
You obviously do, otherwise you wouldn't be so obsessed about us.
Jealous?

You realise we have beaten the crows more then they have beaten us and unlike freo we have won a premiership. The rivalry between the two teams is totally different!
I think it's unfair to say that the crows have no history.
The crows ARE history.

It's sure looking like that. Terrible recruiting staff has seen them blow there picks on older players therefore they have the biggest dud youngsters in the comp. Id say they are history.

Maybe so who cares you cant honestly say that was one of your better seasons can you?. 2005 you guys finished 6th we finished 10th 2006 you guys finished 12th we finsihed 13th still a pretty ordinary 2005 for a premier from the previous year and before you say what about brisbane we were in 4 grand finals for 3 wins one loss so it was to be expected.

Haha this is great stuff. And to think Port copped the wrath of the entire non-Port supporting football public of SA (i.e the Crows fans) in 1990 for 'betraying' the SANFL. Now look at them !!! The team for all South Australians bagging the very league that spawned their existance and talking about how second rate it was.
Ohhhhhhh the irony

The Crows are a made up team that is not even 20 years old yet.
Port are one of the most successful Australian Rules FC in the country.
Sorry bout that 93' Pre-lim crowmunchers,might have been 3

I think that it is good to see Crows supporters finally revealing what they really think of the SANFL competition.
I look forward to them informing their club's administration that for Heritage Round, you don't want to wear some old SANFL state guernsey, or some hideous conglomeration patchwork of all the SANFL clubs, because you think that the SANFL history means nothing to the Adelaide Crows.
Which of course, means that Ross Gibbs 280 games in the SANFL means nothing, hence stop your bleating about Bryce not being a Crows father-and-son rule...
And for all the posters who just look at the names and feel that the current Port Adelaide Magpies are the traditional team est 1870 and Port Adelaide Power in the AFL are est 1996, then I look forward to you expunging the VFL records from your club's history books, because last time I looked there is a VFL currently and I suppose because they have the name then they must own the history, not the AFL.

Better to be desperate defending the PAFC and SANFL history (remember, the poll was created by a Crows supporter), than to be desperate to ignore it (like Crows supporters are keen to do).
You remember history don't you? ... that time back then when you used to win premierships..
I've got no problem with Port Powers' origins..that being the Port Magpies in the SANFL. Every team has its roots.
Footscray/Western Bulldogs were a very successful VFA club before joining the VFL in the 1920's...they don't go on about their premiership wins (and they had a few) prior to joining the big league...it's just irrelevant.
Brisbane claim 3 premierships...and not the 8 Fitzroy won.
Fremantle have a loose association with South Fremantle F.C and wear their old colours during heritage week. Can't say I've ever hear a Freo supporter try to annex that WAFL clubs success to theirs.
So time to wipe the slate clean, and understand that in 1996 the PAFC branched off into 2 sepparate entities. 'Brother' clubs if you like. But not the same club.
I'm sure the Port Magpies don't claim the 2004 flag as theirs..........They don't do they??
Anyway, if you want something to compare the SANFL to any other league, it's Victoria's real state comp...the VFA now know as the VFL. A second rate league, but a still a very high standard of football.
I am interested in the way you continue to portray history as if it were factual, then use it to justify your opinions.
This has been said before, and I haven't seen a response yet. Virtually no-one moved states for football reasons until the 50's. Before then, do you really believe that the best 360 players (12 teams x 30 players) were all from Victoria?
Maybe what you are saying is that it is only since the advent of TV that football history is important. It is a pity that history such as the 1914 Port Adelaide Magpies which went unbeaten in the SANFL and then won the Champions Of Australia comp wasn't on TV.
Footscray/Western Bulldogs were a very successful VFA club before joining the VFL in the 1920's...they don't go on about their premiership wins (and they had a few) prior to joining the big league...it's just irrelevant.
That might be because they are not the same club, they were a result of a merger between the Brisbane Bears and the Fitzroy Football Club.
Again, they are not the same club.
Let's ignore the fact that the Port Adelaide Football Club was in the SANFL until 1996, then were in the AFL from 1997. Same club. Not branched off. Same club. Is that too hard to understand?
Hey, there is a pattern going on here... They are not the same club. Just as if Port Adelaide SANFL won next years flag, I wouldn't expect the AFL club to claim it as theirs.I'm sure the Port Magpies don't claim the 2004 flag as theirs..........They don't do they??

Cancelled
Crows = 2 AFL premierships
Power = 1 AFL Premiership
What does the Port Adelaide Magpies have to do with this Did they fold and amalgamate with the Power, I was sure they were still in existence playing SANFL is SA.
1 AFL premiership >>>>>>>>>>>>35 SANFL flags
therefore:
Adelaide Crows>>>>>>>>>>>>>Port Adelaide Power>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Port Adelaide Magpies
Power = 1 AFL Premiership

Great comment PowerForGood. I notice no one is able to address your post or challenge your logic.
Apparently footy was only ever played in victoria. So nothing else matters except vfl and afl flags.
With that sort of insular small town attitude (normally associated with Adelaide) its not suprising that the vic teams havent won a flag in ages and dont look like ever doing so in the future.
Are you guys taking acid?
I never, ever, ever said that the greatest footballers were always from Victoria. Far from it, infact in one post I gave 10 names of some of the greatest blokes to ever play VFL/AFL, and guess what....not one of them was a Victorian.
My point was that the pinnacle, A-Grade competition for Australian football has always been the VFL/AFL and it has always attracted the best players from everywhere.
That's why two statewide leagues have been forged in Victoria....The VFL/AFL was always this country's best comp, the VFA now known as the VFL is Victoria's state league.
I've previously asked Port fans (or anyone else for that matter) to tell me one legendary player (not from S.A) that has packed up and left his home state and gone to play in the SANFL. A player good enough to play in the VFL, but chose to play in S.A, that's what I'm after......I'm still waiting. I gave you ten names!!! Do you get it?
VFL flags have always been held in higher regard than SANFL premierships. This is obvious to everyone except Port fans.
The SANFL competition is on a par with the current VFL (VFA).
