Is this meant for me or pafc88? Boy oh boy, hard to know when I deserve a pasting and when I don't nowadays. Unless I'm mistaken, I think it is my only post in this thread. I'll stand to be corrected. I think I typed a sentence in another thread but still it wasn't anymore dramatic than this. If this sentence is your only beef, I'd hate to see your over-reaction on something said that's more sinister. So "look", it is an observation from the posts I've read. Had made me wonder who took the survey seriously and who didn't.

Just for the record, I never made any mention of Monfries but I will, we need his experience, if fit, and is quite a courageous player. I love that he upsets the opposition. He's pretty Port Adelaide to me.
My fury was at the dickhead who suggested Angus Monfries wasn't a Port Adelaide footballer.

My somewhat milder frustration was at yourself questioning the value of marketing. I seem to get yours and a certain other poster with a similar coloured avatar and short username mixed up who has made numerous references on this board about the survey, so sorry for that but still I believe that it should be fairly obvious why the club would want to know such things.

Hmm ... unrelated.

For anyone who was too young to see the announcement of the nickname and logo for the AFL
Greg Boulton - "..... Our name will always be Port Adelaide Football Club but we will have a new nickname ..... Remember, Port Adelaide Football Club for the last 125 years, Port Adelaide Football Club forever ....."

Why was it so hard for so many people in the SA media to get their head around that simple statement? :confused:

We were this close to getting it right.

Had we just gone with "Power" from the off, as we've been since 2000, we'd have been sweet.

Yep, we brought the `Port Power ' jibes apon ourselves, the much simpler `Power ' would have sufficed.

That's the clearest 'name' thing you'll see.
Was all this info leaked beforehand? In the Internet era there's no way it would be a secret, was it a fairly open secret back then?

yeah it was leaked, I remember trying to digest it the hours before the launch show, the name I warmed to, the jumper designs that was a lot harder, might have been a corny show but geez I was proud of those boys and the club on the night, our promotion to the AFL all earned by their efforts, forever legends
