Toast #BringBackTheBars - Our Heritage, Our History, Our Right! Part 1

[TeeKray]

Lol, it would be entirely in character for the Crows to oppose the PBs given their entire reason for existence is to oppose the dominance and history of Port Adelaide. They would almost not be doing their job properly if they didn't.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Caro also said the AFL have finally given the club confirmation they will let the club makes its presentation to the Commission postseason.

Caro started off with coaches wearing PB's a few weeks ago then said - "Port have a date, OR they've certainly sent a letter to the AFL Commission, and the AFL Commission have agreed, to sit down with Keith Thomas, if he's still there as CEO or his replacement, and David Koch and the board and listen to their bid to play every showdown, not just home showdowns in the Prison Bar jumper."

Then goes on about push back from AFC, Kane's father Graham Cornes says it will be a disadvantage to Adelaide, incredibly, if they had to play Port in a PB jumper, the panel laughs. How?? someone asks.

"It's not an ambit claim, but they'd take home showdowns, and this is not going away, and there is going to be a meeting with the commission, post season.

Lloyd asks collingwood supporter and fill in host for Hutchy, Tony Jones for his view on it.
TJ Do you have any issue with it??
"Not at all. If its a one off game, once a year, why not celebrate their tradition? It's not like Port Adelaide JUST, became Port Adelaide when they joined the AFL. I, ah, its a real bee in Eddie's bonnett and he's gotta get over it. I just, let Port Adelaide wear the prison bar jumpers for that one game" Caro then interrupts and starts joking about TJ never hosting the show again after that comment.

Caro goes on a bit that it will be really interesting where it goes.

Reckon TJ gave a good summary of what Commission will probably allow, that enough people know Port just didn't come out of thin air into the AFL, but 1 game a year will probably all that gets approved.

Watch between 41.40 and 43.40 at 9 Now, but you will probably have sit thru 10 or 12 ads before you see the discussion.

Definitely.....I would still prefer Anzac day over a showdown, what better way to emphasise our history than to respect players that served our country and played for Port Adelaide such as Bob Quinn etc..
The showdowns are really only a history since 97.

Yep. I have said this since day 1.

 

[RossFC]

The 1914 design for ANZAC round should be a yearly thing. Then the current Prison Bars should be for all the other home games.

 

[Andre]

Caro was saying there may be pushback from the Crows to wear the PB's in their showdown because reasons.

I would be pushing for Anzac day instead...running out with the PB's on Anzac day would be bigger than a crow showdown.

No man better represents the spirit of the Anzac and Port Adelaide better than Robert Berrima Quinn. MM.

Lol, Adelaide are so short sighted and fixated on Port, rather than how this could help them in the long term. If they could tear themselves away from their own ineptitude for 5 minutes, they'd realise 2020 has ripped away the veneer that the competition is run for all clubs equally and not for the Vic clubs first, second and third. Given this they should be embracing anything that shows that Victoria isn't the 'only true football state, with only our clubs mattering'. Instead it's hur dee hur hur Port Power 1996.

 

[Marmozet]

The Crows have dozens of their own issues they need to fix without worrying about us, but trust! Never change.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Yep. I have said this since day 1.

I think we need to take away any opportunity for the AFL to approve ‘yes you can wear the PB in home ANZAC games’ and then we never play another ANZAC home game again.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

The crows would love nothing more than us being a run of the mill, composite, teal version of them.

Their ambassadors and ex-players/coaches actively pushed for this back when we were falling apart under the weight of the sanfls financial expectations.

 

[VineValerian]

Has to be twice a year, every year.
No matter what games they may be. Non negotiable!

I just can’t believe Eddie is that stubborn he can’t see the money making new modern day era rivalry this could create.

 

[edgie]

Hey

Nobody is stopping the crows from wearing any SANFL guernseys.

Tony Jones is horrible, this year he keeps doing and saying things where I think he's not that bad and I wish he wouldn't.

He even got stuck in to Caro a few times and she mentioned Port quite a bit and thought she had an agenda against us.

Eddie and Collingwood have enough money, he can afford to be stubborn.

The club went all out with a petition and a campaign. To get the jumper for one game per year is a mockery.
I don't think KT is the right man to present this case.

 

[Chewy316]

Based on what was said on Footy Classified, it seems like the objection by the Crows is conjecture based on what old mate Graham has said about it in the media.

The presentation will no doubt be an interesting one. I think Kochie will be a good person for this. He is a very good salesman.

I can't believe Eddie is given any say in the matter.

Except ours

 

[Enviable Tradition]

If the AFL fobs us off til after our 150th year that isnta good sign IMO.

A NO in our 150th would seem mean spirited.

I think we should wear them in our first final at Adelaide Oval. Just run out in them without warning then do a GoFundMe to cover any fine.

We need to start owning this guernsey as our own, it's absolutely pathetic that we have to ask for permission to wear it.

 

[RossFC]

"It comes as no surprise that the Prison Bar guernsey is this seasons hottest selling item in the AFL competition, in this most special year for our club." - KT

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

I want one - are there anymore available at the club. There is nothing in the afl stores or online?

[Lockhart Road]

I too would like to hear an explanation ... from someone at the Club who has been told he’ll be with us next year.

 

[bomberclifford]

Not technically BBTB related, but if Man U can wear this as an away strip, why the hell can't Collingwood come up with an alternative guernsey for away/clash?
