I just had to use the Power Megastore website and it was one of the worst sites i've ever experienced.

A Port supporting mate's birthday is coming up, so I went to buy him that poster with all of the various port jumpers from the past century, which i'll then get framed. Going halves with another friend, so I went to send him a direct link to the poster, but couldn't, because the entire website exists within the one address. That's insane.

Then there's the pop-up for the Adelaide Oval framed piece of memorabilia. I don't mind that popping up once, but not EVERY SINGLE TIME A NEW PAGE OPENS. It even popped up during each phase of the checkout process. I can't add items AFTER the checkout! Ridiculous.

But the icing on the cake was the shopping cart itself. The website simply wouldn't let me add any items to my shopping cart. After much frustration, I discovered that the issue was my needing to ENABLE COOKIES. What year is this, 1995!?

TLDR: Website desperateley needs to be contemporised.

You won't get any argument from me on this front.

Our website is that sophisticated it knew you were a Crow supporter and immediately enabled the defence mechanisms.

Try eBay, there are some interstate stores who have eBay shops and sell stuff through there. I bought a ladies' Power wristwatch that I couldn't get in the megastore...arrived within a couple of days. Or just google AFL official apparel Australia- you'll get a stack of interstate and online stores to browse through.

Do you mean the tees with the black prison bars?
I remember they had them in, I did see a pic (maybe even a few pages back on this thread) but I think they went like hotcakes!

Will this scarf be added to the Port Adelaide Power Megastore?

To mark this year’s celebrations, hijabs in the colours of AFL teams have gone on sale in an AFL-endorsed initiative. The scarves are the brainchild of a Melbourne mother, Shanaaz Copeland, bottom, with her four daughters. Photograph: AFL

I have a number of muslim women that work for me and when I mentioned these this morning one of the ladies said she would love one in Port Adelaide colours.

Off to the megastore I go.

DonDraper · Jul 18, 2014

I really like the yellow training tops. Wouldn't be opposed to using it in a pre season game.

Why? What possible harm would it cause to you or the club?

El_Scorcho · Jul 18, 2014

I know it doesn't mean a whole lot but I love that we are the club featured most prominently on the media release for this.

It's a terrific, inclusive idea by whoever came up with it. Well done.

No colour other than Black, White, Teal & Silver should be used by us in an official game of any type IMO.

This post on the main board sums upon my feelings pretty well. Very disappointed in the AFL on this one.

So your response to perceived oppression and censorship is further oppression and censorship?

I'm not sure, but my response to this question is bewilderment.

Winestoppable · Jul 19, 2014

I'd like rosary beads in Port Adelaide colours thanks.

Wear a normal team scarf over your burqa if you want to identify who you barrack for.
