I personally have no problem with them having the same colours and emblem as another club. In the English Soccer League, there are a few teams who are called the "Blues", and literally dozens of teams with the same colours. I don't see the big deal. Problem is, Collingwood hold a lot of...

I'll give my two cents, then go. We all know that technically, the Magpies in the SANFL are only 6 years old. But try telling that to the fans who turn up to support them each week. They look the same, feel the same, have the same people supporting them, and are frequently referred to as...

Your effort in the night comp in 2001 foreshadowed your success in the 2001 season proper, so don't write it off as not counting. It's a premiership, and it's something to win which adds to the history of the club.

We've never been great travellers interstate. Our good record outside the Victorian border is more due to the fact that we have been a good team, rather than us being good travellers. We will be keen to get some pride back after last years disaster, but realistically Port should win. I think...

This time last year in the pre-season cup, you guys gace us a 79-point thrashing. Are you confident you can repeat the dose one year later?

Jars, That's a good point, and it is what I mean. PA1870 makes some valid points, but the bottom line is that the Power are regarded, by the ignorant (which is most of the population) as a new club. If the Port Magpies Football club wasn't born in 1997, those people would be able to make...

PTW, Just one thing. I would totally agree on the Port thing if it wasn't for one tiny detail. Let's just suppose that the Magpies left the SANFL in 1996, and joined the AFL under a new name (the Power). Fine. This happened, and I can see it. You left one comp and joined another. If Port left...

Ha ha, good one. Do you think he is? In your honest opinion, how many goals per game do you think he would have averaged in the VFL, hypothetically? P.S. Hudson and Coleman averaged 5.6 and 5.5 goals per game in the AFL (or the VFL as the current competiton was "named" back then) Ken Farmer...

ptw, Yes, I know the stats don't disappear. It just means that a new comp would be started and all clubs would be on ZERO in the new comp. You seem to have a hard time understanding. You are talking about the history of the CLUBS (which is on going over different comps) I am talking about the...

Macca, Well you think that our "coma man" wouldn't reconize the comp as being the same. I say he would, okay. The fact is, it IS the same. There may be slight changes (like in all comps), but it is the same comp. It wasn't as if all the teams left the VFL, and joined into a brand spanking new...

ptw, You're not serious are you? Firstly, an observer after 30 years would be able to tell it is the same comp. Let's imagine he went into a coma in 1971 and woke up in 2001. He watches each of the 8 games in round 5. Would would be his conclusion? Coll vs Ess - both familiar. Gee vs Port -...

AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!! Of course they would recognize it if they woke up from a coma after 30 years. Yes, there are 5 new teams admittedly, and they play at different grounds, but who cares about the grounds? It's the "clubs" that are important. There are 11 teams that are still competing in this...

PA1870, If Essendon legally joined the NFL and "moved" to that comp, and a team in the AFL was formed called the "Essendon Bombers Football club", I would support the AFL team. The AFL team, even though, legally it would be a new team, wouold still be, to me, Essendon. Who cares about the...

Rubbish! 11 of the original 12 clubs still remain. The one that doesn;t (Fitzroy), "half" remains, so to speak. The only difference is that some new clubs have been added. But tis happens in all competitons, including the SANFL. It doesn't matter where these clubs come from, or whether they are...

Yes they are, but I don't think they should be. I think the Power "should" be a separate branch of Port Adelaide, while the Magpies continue to play in the SANFL and "should" be the same as they have always been. For all intents and purposes it's that way now, right? (take not the words for all...

Macca, No, it different. Different arguments. When the name change to AFL took place in 1990, the teams in the comp were the same as they were in 1989. Nothing changed. No one moved to a new comp. It was the same comp, with new teams added from all over the country. It would be like my team...

Ptw, I'm not arguing the facts with you. I agree that legally, the Power are the same as the pre-1996 Magpies. But from a common-sense and logical point of view, they shouldn't be. It's dumb (my opinion) As for the VFL-AFL, legally they are the same, and logically they are too. You want an...

I don't want to turn this to a debate about the AFL in the Port board, but I will comment breifly. It is totally irrelevant whetehr it looks different to what it did in 1897. The fact is, it is the same comp. So what if it looks different? An 80 year old man looks different to when he was an...

Ptw, It is completely differentto the VFL-AFL thing. Firstly, the current SANFL Magpies, look like Port, play like Port, have the fans as port. Logically (not legally) they ARE Port. The VFL is obviously legally the same as the AFL, but is is logically the same too. Like any competiton, new...

Look, I just reckon that it's stupid to have the current SANFL Magpies as a legally different club to the SANFL Magpies in 1996. it makes no sense. That's just my opinion. If, when, the Power joined the AFL in 1997, the SANFL team stopped completely and there was no Port in the SANFL, then it...

Grave Danger, This is what I posted in reply to your idiotic thread on the Essendon board: Keep this crap on your own board. I am perfectly entitled to use the other boards, if I am talking about those teams in question. I was talking about Port, so I used the Port board. What do you suggest...

It's not "your" board, you dill. You don't own it. If I want to come on here and talk about Port (which i did), then I will do just that. If you want to go to the Bombers board and talk about Essendon, then do it. Go right ahead, I don't care. I just think that PA1870 needs to take the stick...

The AFL section is the "only" section of your history PA1870. Port still play in the SANFL and continue the 130 year tradition. And don't give me any more of this pedantic "Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club" bullshit, either. You know full well, that the only Port that is feared and admired...

Well, you kicked 107 points, which was the biggest score kicked against us since round 17 1999 !!! So, your forward line did OK. But we shifted our side around in the last term, and pit Hird and Long on the bench, so who knows what it really means? It was good to beat you though after you...

I've tried to keep quiet, but I just can't hold it in any longer. I have to tell everyone that there is a genuine coldness, a chill, that pervades the land, as people are scared to death by Port Adelaide 1870's phlegmatic prognoses. What follows is a set of observations I have made about...
