Congratulations Erin!

Foley vice captain. Dunn, Houghton and Mules in the leadership group.

Wow just saw this, quite surprised to be honest, really thought they'd go Foley or Dunn.

I like it though, basically means we are gonna give the younger players in that 24-28 bracket a couple of seasons to prove themselves as the next leader, while currently getting hopefully at least a couple of seasons with probably the best leader in the comp.

Congrats to Erin. She deserved the chance to be the next in her family to be a Port captain.

 

[Jojay]

That legit gave me goosebumps

Can I just say that the woman's kit is on point. They've got the chevron size to jumper ratio spot on, and the teal trim works.

Get the men's on board

Can we name her men's captain as well? Perfect choice for our first skipper though

At last, how many years ago did they pre empt this?

Great interview. Goosebumps. Actually looking forward to our women’s season.
A silver lining in a rather disappointing season.

Remember that time Ken Hinkley didn't care about the history, tradition and emotion behind the number 1 at Port Adelaide.

 

[Pappagallo]

Congrats Erin. Good to have a winner in the #1.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but; let this be the one section of the board where that smug pr*ck doesn't get mentioned/referenced.

Lauren, Juliet, Erin and co. have built a sense of optimism for this club, which doesn't deserve to be tarnished by referencing the failings of the men.

Our 3 senior captains are Phillips, Jonas and Sutcliffe.

Only 1 true number 1 in that lot…

These are the special moments that remind me of who we once were and will become again.

I hear what you're saying but it will never happen. The men and women will always be linked and referenced across the two boards.

Brilliant video on Port social media of Greg finding out that Erin had received the Captaincy.

One of SA’s great sport families.
