They won 34 SANFL premierships as Port Adelaide Football Club, but Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club won 2. PAMFC has since merged with PAFC in 2010. There was no such thing as Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club until 1997.
So, then Melbourne, Geelong, Carlton, etc didn't exist until 1897 or even 1990 when the AFL became a thing? It's like saying VFL/AFL teams don't have VFA/VFL premierships, because they formed a different club in the VFA/VFL, today.
How is that even remotely the same comparison?
Exactly... And that's what these "it's not Port Adelaide it's Port Power" morons don't understand.

Because it's the same "X club moves to a different competition."
Where did you get 1996 from? The Port Adelaide Football Club got their AFL license in 1994, The Power branding began in 1995.
Why do you believe that? Because they like many of the VFL teams they changed their branding and competition? So, Melbourne became a new club in 1897 when they joined The VFL after being in different competitions? Or, when Melbourne changed their branding to The Demons they began a new club?
So that would mean Melbourne, Geelong, Carlton, etc didn't exist until 1897 or even 1990. Those clubs playing in different competitions doesn't matter, they're new clubs once they joined The VFL or even The AFL rebrand.
You are wrong on ALL counts.
Judging by your Rey Skywalker profile picture I imagine you’re about 12 years old. Even if you’re not the chances you weren’t even alive beteeen 1996-2010 are significantly high so you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
So you’re telling me that in 1998 when Port won the SANFL Grand Final you would’ve be fine with saying it was the clubs first Premiership? I doubt it.
if West Coast had won a flag between 1986-1989 you wouldn’t have this view
For specifically Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club it was, which was a different club with different facilities and a different home ground. In fact, Port Adelaide Football Club were actually going to move into The AFL and have no SANFL team, but something happened where a new Magpies club was formed in The SANFL. Like I said, they've since merged with Port Adelaide Football Club in 2010.
Why are you deflecting? I guess I must be right that you've set arbitrary rules for Port's establishment, but you don't apply the very same rules for Melbourne, Geelong, Carlton, etc who did the very exact same thing as Port did. The fact you came out with 1996 which has no "first milestone" significance for Port proves you don't know what you're talking about, since The Power branding came out in 1995, and 1994 was when they got their AFL license.
No point arguing.
I was talking about their arbitrary rules they set, where if something has a name change, it must be a new thing, ie Magpies to Power, but they don't apply it to say when The VFL became The AFL, or when Melbourne who have also changed their nicknames, colours and competitions. Double standard stuff. I don't subscribe to their illogic theories, though, they were trying to insinuate that to deflect the facts I presented that changing names, colours or competition does not necessarily mean it makes something a new thing.
I had no idea the commentator was Moses.
What was the point of this exactly?
And out come the insults. Nice one. You're losing the argument so you've resorted to name calling.
No idea, honestly. I think the idea (which probably seemed like a good idea at the time) was to keep a "Port Adelaide" in the SANFL...
They weren't even going to have an SANFL team in 1997, once they moved into The AFL. The SANFL I believe made some sort of demand for them to form another club for The SANFL, since they owned them. I think Brian Cunningham told that story.
