Kochie was a great purchase of the # 1 season ticket holder position at the PAPS. For a club with supposed history they have certainly sold their soul. First it was the traditional gurnsey, then the colours and then they continue to take the money from Alan Scott even though they all hate him. What a sell out of a corporation, you can say what you like about Lleyton Hewitt but at least he is an actual supporter of the club rather than a purchase.

I got an email today about 50 steps to know if you were a child of the 80s and got to thinking maybe to help the Port supporters out I would construct a quiz so that the Port supporters can self diagnose themselves to enable them to find out whether or not they are a "POWERTARD"

If you find yourself agreeing to most of these statements you will be happy to know that you can be considered amongst the powertard faithful.

1. Believe in your mind that Port are flag favourites every year
2. Believe that Port only lose because they have a bad day and not because they were outplayed by the opposition.
3. Irrespective of where Port or Adelaide finish, you believe Port always has a better list than Adelaide
4. Believe that Adelaide only won their premierships by fluke
5. Believe the SANFL premierships are equally as important as AFL/VFL premierships
6. You are obsessed with the Crows
7. Believe that Tredrea is as good as Carey was in his prime
8. Believe Choco is a very sane man and doesnt have a chip on his shoulder
9. Believe the people that Brogan hit are the guilty ones and believe that P Burgoyne was innocent.
10. Irrespective of where Adelaide finish you believe they have a cr@p list even though you have just spent the summer trying to justify that they choked a match that you claim they should have won against the premiers.
11. You believe that Adelaide in 2006 was a bigger choke than Port VS Sydney in 03
12. Believe that Rucci has an unbiased view on things.
13 Believe that Port will eventually dominate the AFL year in year out like no other team has ever done before
14 Obsess over any slight indiscretion by an Adelaide player and call for their head and then try and justify it and say it is different if it happens to a Port player
15 Believe that sometime in the future that Port will win every single showdown
16 Believe that the Port supporters dont leave early when they are losing
17 If you throw a tantrum when you hear a Crows supporter say Port Power
18 Believe every year that Adelaide have crap youngsters
19 Argue how much more important your claim of "being a real club" is even though you havent been as successful AFL premiership wise and in attracting supporters as clubs like West Coast and Adelaide.
20 Have a hatred towards Freo
21 Believe Josh Carr was stupid for leaving Port and double points if you believe that he is coming back
22 Believe that Toby Thurstan will become a dominant forward
23 Hate Tony McGuinness for no reason and put the blame squarely on his shoulders for last year
24. Believe that Collingwood should have had to change their emblem and colours when Port entered the AFL
25. You cant have a football conversation without trying to turn the topic to something about Port Adelaide
26. You feel compelled towards referring to the Crows as Cows, All Sorts, Clowns etc
27. You rip off this thread by trying to create one about Adelaide
28 You think that Nick Stevens actually cares that he missed out on the 04 premiership
29. You cheered to yourself when Primus did his knee
30 You tell everyone that Mark Ruciccuto is a crap captain
31 You believe that Port supporters dont turn on their own players when they are losing
32. You believe the guy who held up the choco for baghdad sign was really a crows supporter.
33. You didnt cringe when Choco said "Alan Scott, you were wrong"
34.Before 04 clung to the showdown victories as though they were grand finals
35.If you think that Carolyn Wilson's article from a couple of years ago about the leadership issues at Port was just lies.
36.If you resort to using things that havent even happened yet to try and win football arguments.
37. Believe that Port will soon overtake Adelaide as the number 1 club in SA
38.Believe that all Adelaide supporters are bandwagoners and Port supporters arent
39. If you thought that Port were going to easily win the dream final, but then deny that they choked in this game
40. Emailed Kochie when 5AA didnt broadcast a Port trial game and believed that he actually cared
41. If you use a radio segment after the 06 prelim final as a troll and then you actually deny that Port supporters didnt ring up 5AA in 02 and 03 after their losses in the very same fashion.
42. Believe that Adelaide supporters are jealous of Port
43. If you bag the Crows shed without ever going in there to actually see what it looks like on the inside and ignore the fact that Port want to do something similar.
44. You compare everything against the Crows
45. You find it impossible to say anything positive about the AFC
46. You never were really into the AFL prior to 97, but now act like you know everything about it
47. Believe that between 91-96 that Port Magpies would have been able to beat the crows side.
48. You critisise Adelaide supporters for abandoning the SANFL yet you dont go and watch the SANFL anymore either
49. Believe that the AFL isnt/wasnt the VFL
50. Cheered or laughed when Hentschel did he knee in the showdown.

There we have it, so port supporters how many did you get ???
That's pretty funny considering how long it must have taken you to write this...:rolleyes:

37. Believe that Port will soon overtake Adelaide as the number 1 club in SA 13/36 (in football terms, not the Crows obsession with money (refer point 19 again).
38.Believe that all Adelaide supporters are bandwagoners and Port supporters arent 13.5/37 (they were when they first started in 1991, getting better now)
39. If you thought that Port were going to easily win the dream final, but then deny that they choked in this game 13.5/38 (didn't think they'd win easily)
40. Emailed Kochie when 5AA didnt broadcast a Port trial game and believed that he actually cared 13.5/39

42. Believe that Adelaide supporters are jealous of Port 15/41 - in football terms again - refer point 19 AGAIN!
43. If you bag the Crows shed without ever going in there to actually see what it looks like on the inside and ignore the fact that Port want to do something similar.16/42 IT IS A SHED!

48. You critisise Adelaide supporters for abandoning the SANFL yet you dont go and watch the SANFL anymore either 16.5/47 (half righ - Adelaide supporters abandoned their SANFL club, we are still following ours as they moved to the AFL.
49. Believe that the AFL isnt/wasnt the VFL 16.5/48 (it was the VFL - it shoudn't be, but it is)
50. Cheered or laughed when Hentschel did he knee in the showdown. another pathetic question to ignore (refer point 29)

SO, how did I go. 16.5 / 48 is about one-in-three... about the same percentage of the SA public that supports us.
So if we hypothetically did a Crowtard quiz, you'd get two-out-of-three, right?

In turn...
the traditional guernsey - couldn't take it into the AFL, just like the Crows couldn't take the Glenelg guernsey in...
the colours - refer previous point... actually, it is the previous point... I didn't know the guernsey and colours were separate... then again, Crows supporters think they have the state colours on a Fruit Tingle packet, right?
the sponsor - I don't like Alan Scott, no other AFL club sponsor outwardly speaks of what the club should do, we should just focus on Vodafone and BHP and the like - then again we didn't give him naming rights, like the Camry Crows?
Lleyton Hewitt - don't go there, mate, just like the Crows it's all about the money.
Kochie - While I wouldn't have picked him given a choice, what a pity that you have absolutely no idea his upbringing and who he supports...

For the information of all - Krow has a very unhealthy obsession with the mighty Power!
:cool:

Obsession stems from jealousy. (Fact)

QED.

To be honest though he did grow up in Adelaide and did follow Port when he was younger so there are gueniune links there, BUT as to how much he supports them now is the real question. The funniest thing ever was that I said on here that he was a casual supporter at best and some port supporter tried to tell me that he lives and breathes Port Adelaide blah blah blah, the guy wore a friggin Sydney Swans scarfe prior to last years AFL grand final.

The guy tried to argue about his radio interview with 5AA and insinuate in the hope that I didnt hear it that it painted a different picture, but he only spoke about his interest for Port in a past tense it didnt sound like he had gone to see them lately or anything.
