Obviously not on the North board’s death riding thread, oddly enough. Keep your chin up. <3

Good fred would read again

Nice try. We do claim 35 AFL/SANFL premierships. We do not claim any more than one VFL/AFL premiership.

And you lot were the ones who declared war on Porthos' sig for some reason. It doesn't matter what you think, I've merely attempted to enlighten you. Obviously, that is far too hard a task for a mere mortal.

So did the NMFC exist since 1869 as your official history states, or didn't it exist until it joined the VFL?

Tell me, do you really believe that "aswell" is a word?

Proof?

The fact that you're scurrying about like mightily p1ssed off ants suggests otherwise.

Er, but you see... it doesn't matter what you think. Port Adelaide Football Club, est. 1870. 35 SANFL/AFL premierships. Whatever that means to you is of absolutely no relevance. It means a lot to us.

I'm sure the mods will kick me out eventually. Sadly for you guys, though, it won't make me any less right.

Who claimed that we had? Certainly not me, certainly not Porthos. So what exactly is your problem?

LOL... bud, reducing yourself to childish and profoundly misconcieved attempts at cultural elitism won't win you the argument either. Sorry.

That's because Victoria is your frame of reference. Therefore, relatively speaking, SANFL and VFL premierships are comparable. QED.

They really do, I'm afraid. Check out the history pages on each club's official site if you don't believe me: http://portmagpies.com.au/about.htm http://portadelaidefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=history&spg=display&articleid=179174 Now, you may not like it... but, I can assure you, there's...

I assume you meant to say I've been proven wrong. Where, pray tell?

Yeah keep that tactic up, bud. I'm sure it'll make me wrong eventually.

Can you read? The Port Adelaide Football Club has 35 senior flags. Simple as that. Prove me wrong. And exactly which part of Porthos' signature suggests otherwise? Are you saying he doesn't have a right to put something in his sig? That's pretty authoritarian of you. He can put...

And the argument to the opposite effect isn't parochial?! LOL Whatever superiority the VFL may have had to the SANFL at any point in their history is purely relative to the difference in population in the respective states, and the subsequent earlier adoption of professionalism.

See, now you're putting words in my mouth. I have never had a problem with Victorian AFL clubs "claiming" their VFL premierships. If you're going to argue with me, argue with what I'm actually saying rather than what you'd like me to be saying for your own convenience.

I'm certainly not counting them. And it's not that confusing. The Port Adelaide Football Club moved from the SANFL to the AFL. The Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club was created to carry on our SANFL history. The two entities, although technically seperate, share the same history up until 1997.

Ah, I see what you're doing, playing silly buggers with the SAFL/SANFL name change by any chance? You can do better than that.

Point it out, but fail to justify it.

Really? Do tell.

I was merely pointing out the ridiculousness of comparing VFA premierships to SANFL premierships.

I'm not. Prove me wrong with evidence, or apologise.

Yes, the one in the AFL is the Port Adelaide Football Club, est. 1870, and the one in the SANFL is the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club. Porthos' signature does not include the premiership years of the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club.

The phrase, I'm sure you understand, is intended as sarcasm. If I'm using it a lot, you should consider the possibility that I'm running across a lot of illogical statements in the given environment.

How is it coming from us? One of you guys just decided to randomly have a go at Porthos' sig, which was sitting there not hurting anybody.

And? It couldn't be more clear. He clearly states that he's combining AFL/SANFL premierships. The 35 senior premierships of the Port Adelaide Football Club. What's the problem? Well, the one from the club the player wanted to go to, obviously. Either that, or straight to the PSD (still the...

Excuse me?
