A bit of an off-season thread but thought it would be a good thread nonetheless.

Pretty self explanatory title. If the pokies at Alberton were ever relocated off site it would make an ideal spot.

Some things I would like to see...

1. Mark Williams tie from the 2004 AFL Grand Final.

2. Harold Oliver's motorbike he used to ride from Berri to Adelaide for football (or a replica of the bike). Pictured below is a 'Favourite' re-jiged for Australia from 1914-1921. Riding that twice a week would shorten the career of a lesser player (along with any appendages).

3. Thirty Six of these little beauties.

Only sort of related, but I'd love to see an online library of Port Adelaide's historical media made available to members - old issues of Power To The People, Magpie News, Annual Reports, and Bob McLean's 1870-1970 history of the Magpies.

A reading room! Media could pay to use the services or purchase a membership.

Actually would love the idea of a media room. Fill it with all sorts of physical paraphernalia, as well as a few touch screens and what not. Like a Port Adelaide library.

I love that 1948/49 Guernsey. It'll be good if we wear it in the AFL sometime

Fr Tony Noble and others have donated items for use in any museum.

Tony founded the port cheer squad in the 60s, now retired living in St Kilda (vic) and is still an attendee at many games in Adelaide and other states.

Why did we start wearing the Collingwood style guernsey in the early 40s & again in the early 50s? I hate that bloody thing.
