I reckon they should go with a predominantly teal colour guernsey as their clash strip, would be much better than that horrible grey.
If that's what we want, why do you get to say otherwise?Except it was a final so tickets would have been split and you’d have been lucky to get 10,000 of your members into the game…
Your members are capable of travelling to the MCG. Playing a final at a small regional stadium and locking out 60k fans (fans of both clubs plus neutrals) is ridiculous and thankfully won't happen.You mean, we want to play in front of our own members for our home game?
I’ve got 5 questions for you which I hope you can answer for me.
1 - Do you like your current AFL jumper? (I personally think it’s just about the best)
2 - Do you resent the fact you have teal?
3 - Do you like the nickname the Power?
4 - Do you wish your AFL club colours were just plain black and white and without teal.
5 - Lastly, would you prefer to be known as the Port Adelaide Magpies in the AFL or are you happy as the Port Adelaide Power?
Finals have always been at league determined venues.You mean, we want to play in front of our own members for our home game? Gee what a novel concept. fmd
We just dont need to adopt the white wash solution.If it aint white its dark. Sydney is probably the only confusing one.
Richmond is unlucky, their clash kit works but they are victims of the fact that in spite of having a good clash kit we still seem to have clashes every other week.
Every has their home kit and then a predominantly white one. Again this isnt the only solution, its just the easiest and until the AFL works their s**t out i wont be convinced their is a better way.
I’ll say it againWe just dont need to adopt the white wash solution.
We just need to ensure that clubs have an alternate kit, it doesnt need to be white.
Richmond - go with all yellow
Suns - go with royal blue
Essendon - all red
Eagles - go with yellow
Adelaide - could go red, yellow or white
Saints - could go red or white
Melbourne - could go red or white
Port - should be silver with teal in PB design
Hawks - have a gold dominant strip

Anyone that seriously thinks it’s unreasonable that GEELONG supporters would prefer their HOME finals are played in GEELONG, especially when playing a Victorian team has rocks in their heads. The fact it won’t happen doesn’t change that they would want it.Finals have always been at league determined venues.
It is home state finals since more non-vic teams have come in.
Even in VFL days, everyone understood amd accepted that finals were played at the G or Waverley.
It has been that way for 125+ years, but now Geelong think they deserve "home" finals. * me
Wear that in all games against Port. Would be delicious
Now i want the set of three
One of the guys on the Jumper Design thread could do it for you, if you ask really really nicelyNow i want the set of three
Reverse of the above
And blue version
What a terrible example. Counting East Germany/West Germany would be like counting Brisbane/Fitzroy - two teams that were competing at the top level. Not one team playing for a short time at the top level and a long time at suburban level. What Port are doing is like if Australia counted Olympic medals and Commonwealth Games medals and called them all Olympic medals.
The Commonwealth games has always been a low level completion that very few other countries care about or see as anything more than a glorified club meet that is becoming more irrelevant as time goes on. Similar to the SANFL in the Football world.
If Port Adelaide can count a suburban league Premiership as an AFL premiership - I'm counting my under 10 c grade basketball trophy as a Norm Smith medal.
Back when one team played home games at the G. So 1/12 had a home advantage in finals.Finals have always been at league determined venues.
Yes and 125 years later, 14/18 clubs happen to play their home games at the same venue they get home finals at. From less than 10% in the 60s to 75%.It has been that way for 125+ years, but now Geelong think they deserve "home" finals. * me
Great point, thank you. We want 11 home games and finals. Its a joke that clubs can sell home games to tassie, ballarat, darwin etc and still get their other home games where they please whilst we get told we should be considered lucky to go from 7 (which it was before 2017) to 9 home games at home.Anyone that seriously thinks it’s unreasonable that GEELONG supporters would prefer their HOME finals are played in GEELONG, especially when playing a Victorian team has rocks in their heads.

I think most people realise that the SANFL was a pretty equivalent league to the VFL until around the late 80s (from memory an SA team beat the Vic team in like 92? and was still pretty competitive even until the late 90s when their was a national league anyway).What a terrible example.

In was in response to a Port poster saying Port are the most successful club because they have won 36 Premierships. 1998 and 1999 was their reserves side in the SANFL. It would be the equivalent of Melbourne claiming that they have won 14 Premierships because they won the 2000 reserves premiership.I've missed something along the way here. Are Port claiming to have won 3 AFL premierships? 1998, 1999, 2004?
That is in no way close to being true.I think most people realise that the SANFL was a pretty equivalent league to the VFL until around the late 80s (from memory an SA team beat the Vic team in like 92? and was still pretty competitive even until the late 90s when their was a national league anyway).
I dont think its unreasonable to count SANFL flags as the equivalent to VFL flags until that time. Would Port have won them pre 1990 against the Vic teams that wont the VFL flags, probably not but they also might have.
More importantly i dont think anyone is saying that Port has 35 or whatever AFL premierships, if someone is that is an equally silly argument. Consider for a second if the VFL in 1990 went "what well do is keep the vic teams and their history and bring in East Fremantle, Perth, Port and Glenelg to join the comp" then you would have to assume that the VFL, SANFL and WAFL teams would have all retained their heritage and premierships.
As it stands Port is completely unique as the only team to enter the competition after the AFL established itself as a pre existing team in a state league.
I think that uniqueness is really what sets the argument about them apart. When they say the prison bars matters their not making something up to suit an argument, when they say they are proud of their 35 SANFL flags it rings true.
I get the whole they made a new identity and should embrace it, i really do but at the same time, one game a year to wear the jumper they cherish as much as any Collingwood supporter does the black and white, played in SA really doesnt seem like a tough ask to me.
Theres Vic bias then there is whatever this is...That is in no way close to being true.
Have Collingwood ever worn Hooped socks? Mero?common sense would suggest that Collingwood wear a white guernsey with black stripes, white shorts and hooped socks.
but you never know with the AFL
Yep WAFL shat on SANFLThis is right up there with the worst takes ever seen on big footy.
Id say both were pretty close in talent to the VFL which was really more the point.Yep WAFL shat on SANFL

Im sure they have, I just cant remember them.If they havent ive been properly Mandela effected here, would put my house on that they have.
