I have a feeling our teams will vary quite a bit.
I'll chop and change with peoples suggestions.

If the player moved clubs ONLY consider their form whilst at Port Adelaide (ie Tom Harley wouldn't...
A ripper book recently published by Wakefield Press. Offers new insights into the clubs endeavours, and roadblocks, in its entry into what ultimately became the AFL.
Justice Olsens whole injunction reasoning is in the book, something I have never been able to get my hands on before.

Tredrea getting which one it was muddle up. Round 16 Showdown fixture swapped with Hawthorn vs. Collingwood.
This thread is for people to express their opinion on what they would like the club the be doing by 2020, the clubs 150th anniversary year, and the direction you'd like us to be heading beyond that.
From my perspective I'll always come back to the clubs branding which is fractured and...
If anyone is booing at the game tell them to pull their heads in.
Which players who moved to other clubs could you never boo?

A few people on social media associated with the club have hinted at their desire for murals featuring iconic PAFC photographs.
This week a few murals were painted in Sydney and Melbourne for Indigenous Round.
I'd love for the club to organise some for around Port Adelaide.

To be the only pre-existing club outside Victoria to gain entry into the national competition we couldn't have done it without the contribution of a few legends.
Four men stand out for me and I am having trouble splitting them.

The biggest rivalry in the AFL today is between:

I think it would be a gamble worth taking recruiting a young +210cm basketballer as a Cat B rookie, if not for promotional purposes alone. Find a player who is not quite at the level to make the move to the NBA or get the bigger paycheques in the CBA and make him an offer worth while.

Currently both the AFL and AFLW use percentage as a tie breaker for premiership ladders. If the AFL is so paranoid about a low scoring game then they could replace percentage with points for. It wouldn't change a single rule of the game but it would significantly preference a high scoring game...
1. Tasmanians boycott watching AFL games on TV. Tasmanians cancel their Foxtel subscriptions.
2. Tasmanians boycott AFL games hosted in the state.
3. Start a crowdfunding campaign that collects the value of a current AFL membership, approximately $200, from people. This will be done on the...
Pretty simple, post songs below.
Obvious official inclusions:
- 1882: "Play, boys play and be contended"
~ 1920: "Pride of Port Adelaide"
- 1971: "Cheer cheer the Black and the white"
- 1997: "Power to win"
I tried to write 100 down but I ran out.
Anyway, here are some of mine.

In 1894 the population of South Australia was around 340,000 and Victoria was around 1,005,000.
At the time South Australia had 4 premier clubs competing in the SAFA (later SANFL):
- Port Adelaide
- Norwood
- South Adelaide
- North Adelaide
Meanwhile the VFA had 13 clubs running around:

Stumbled across this on Youtube.
Never heard it before.
Not sure when Bob McLean changed the song to "Cheer Cheer" but this was at least in use as early as 1921.
Whichever way you spin it the perfect AFL fixture requires 22. The 17-5 nonsense is clunky. Currently the fixture is a joke. Richmond and Collingwood leave Victoria 5 times. Port Adelaide leave Adelaide 10 times.
Time to bring in two more clubs quickly from traditional markets:

Questions:
1. Was R.E.N. Twopeny the journalist the same as R.E.N. Twopeny the SAFA founder and Adelaide (SAFA) captain?
2. Did R.E.N. Twopeny play for Port Adelaide from 1890–1895?
Personally I think the answer is yes to the first question and no to the second. A player by the name of R...
