Do you hate Port Adelaide?

[gytre]

Before joining the AFL in 1997, Port Adelaide had a reputation back in South Australia at least, of being a team people either loved or hated. They're like SA's equivalent of Collingwood in this respect.

But has this love/hate feeling towards Port expanded out of South Australia? I don't believe it has. I get the impression that many people outside of Victoria really respect Port Adelaide. It's mostly only Crows fans who passionately hate the Power.

So, I thought I'd start a poll to test my theory.

I'm a dockers fan from SA... but I still hate Port, it digs deep to my mini-league game at Alberton where we won and I had a bottle thrown at me...

I dont like a lot of Port fans but ive got nothing against the team.... liked em in the SANFL and the Power is ok..........

I think alot of SANFL hatred came from the fans or jealousy

Of course my team sucked so I had nothing to base me jealousy on lol

I used to hate them, but am loving the way they play at the moment. Have some great players that are great to watch

I think the respect comes from the fact that unlike the Eagles, Dockers and Crows, Port Adelaide actually earned the right to play in the AFL.

True. But you had to have a West Australian club in the AFL.

The only thing I hate about Port is the teal colour in their jumper and Tredrae, who is a tool. Other than that, meh. I don't hate Collingwood much either. It's meh.

And you wonder why so many people dislike Port fans???

Good team, I like them.

Then your friends should show them more respect.

I don't think I really hate them, except for Warren Treadrea maybe. But I despise the Adelaide Crows with a passion - can't stand their one-eyed bandwagon supporters. Oh, and good luck next weekend - should be a good game.

Well I hope the " I despise Port with a passion" category picks up, too low for my liking
