Nobody is protective of Power. Power is a nickname we've had for about 5 seconds that would be forgotten instantly if we ditched it.

The Port Adelaide Football Club is eternal.
Precisely. If we're being honest, it is nothing more than a contrived fad-marketing brainfart and is no better than the derivative provincal branding that was slapped on to the screaming behind of our bastard child from down the road.

Haha I see where you're going now. Magenta is almost the exact opposite of teal on the colour wheel too, so it's about as far away from our colour palette as you can get!

But then again it would accidentally follow that quirky Aussie tradition of opposite nicknames, such as "Bluey" for red heads and "Tiny" for big blokes.

Abber also played for the Crows.

Incidentally it is Power spelt P-O-W-E-R. Just because those bogans down the road cannot get it right it doesn't mean we have to lower ourselves.

I really have a thing about our supporters taking the piss out of our nickname. If we are going to be protective about being called Port Adelaide Power or Port Adelaide we need to get it right among ourselves. This 'pear' rubbish has run its course and when we use it we sound like a bunch of bogans.
I can slightly tolerate Pear but Kern is too much

Nikki was a very happy and friendly girl after a few drinks, not shy...Heaven nightclub she certainly enjoyed the attention.

Listening to the wrong 80's music then or you're just taking the piss.
