So Port don't make any distinction between their SANFL and AFL premierships in their club premiership table. See where this supposed tradition and heritage is heading and why people want to stop it in its tracks?

My club, on the other hand, makes that distinction, as do other traditional AFL clubs like Carlton.

Richmond won 2 VFA premierships before their 13 AFL premierships. Now, you might say that only three of those latter premierships are AFL premierships, but the reality is that the AFL is simply a rebranded VFL with some new teams added. Richmond never jumped ship from the VFL to the AFL.
It's pretty clear as there is only one at the MCG. Carlton do it the most correct, they say VFL/AFL premierships as they acknowledge while its a continuous comp premierships were once just state league flags as opposed to national flags.
You are right though it should say Port 36 Sanfl Premierships and 1 AFL premiership.
Out of curiosity what makes the Richmond 1974 premiership any better than Ports 1977 SANFL premiership? Both just state league premierships. The ultimate goal in each state at the time.
