Everyone talks about Richmond always finishing just out of the eight and being called "Ninthmond", maybe we now should refer to the Cows as "Eighthelaide"

Failaide?

Premiers this century?

Premiers this century?

Ooooh I would trade having twice as many flags if only wehad won one in the last 9 years


You carry on about 10 years being such a long time to not win a flag. Which one of us averages a flag every 9 years and which every 12 years again?

 

[xamol]

Premiers this century?

Wow, for a newbie, you crap on like you have been here before.

I wonder why that is.

 

[relapse]

Premiers this century?

Straw clutching at it's finest, this year is the 5th year since Port's flag. Knowing that Tredrea, Lade, P Burgoyne, Brogan, Chad all will be retiring in the next 1-3 years wont be long and the 10 year celebration of your one and only solitary flag will be happening down at Alberton.

 

[Geoffa32]

The "ten years of nothing" comments are going to bite some people in the ass around 2014...


The PAFC have a 20 year celebration this year of the 1989 flag. Or will they let the PAMFC take care of that? Like they did the 1988 one.

ffs Geoffa - have you got alzheimers or something? I doubt it - I doubt you've forgotten about this being explained to you a few times now.

You know full well why this happens. Stop bringing it up like it's some new revelation.

The Power dont want to associate itself with club legends such as Delaney, Fiacci, Rohan Smith Tim Ginever as to not offend some new supporters who remember recently (well in living memory) being towled up by these legends of the club.

So they let the Magpies honour them. Even thought they are the "new" club.

Yeah makes sense as image is everthing.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Geoffa, i'll echo PowerKat's thoughts here. The way you make this argument has been sekajesque. You've been told time and time again, yet you ignore the responses and post the same crap again.

We clearly want to honour our legends from the SANFL days. Our theme this year is to "Live the Creed", the Creed being written by the father of our club, you'd be well aware of him. We've fought to wear the Prison bars in heritage round, we've put 1870 on our guernseys, and we've done all we can to honour our past.

As the two clubs are basically the result of a demerger, the magpies were given the role of handling these sorts of events. It would be silly for both clubs to have events to celebrate the same thing.

So the Port Adelaide Power takes what it wants & leaves the left overs to the Port Adelaide Magpies.

Is that what you are saying ?

That isn't what he's saying at all. Geoffa has been told at least five times that Port Adelaide and the Magpies are not allowed to hold joint fundraising activities as part of the licence agreement. Port even had to get Whicker and co's blessing to conduct the recent Family Day trial vs. PAMFC at Alberton.

Hence, entirely separate functions for the 1988 and 1998 sides at the Port Club to satisfy the SANFL's decree would've been stupid. As a result, the Magpies take care of all the pre-1997 reunion stuff whereas the Power runs its own initiatives such as the annual 'Power Goes...' event and the Business Luncheons.

In hindsight the joint history thing was a needlessly stupid complication that screwed the pooch. The Magpies should never have been created, or at least, should've been converted into a Power affiliate (similar to the Geelong outfit in the VFL) or been rebranded something else to emphasise the PAFC's wishes.

WOw thanks for the contribution Fred seriously good stuff not tired, or old, or irrelevant or unoriginal

You Port supporters are so boring to play with. I hope you are again succesfull, one day. All I get from you guys these days is exactly what you wrote above. And the dont call Chad gay, leave sexuality out of football. So you have to go through football stats dating back two centuries to give us shit but if we mention any of your obvious failings its, as mentioned above!

DR C, you remind me of a real ugly kid with a big wart on the end of your nose. After giving shit to a normal looking kid, who then says 'nice wart on your face DR C', your reply is " WOw thanks for the contribution Fred seriously good stuff not tired, or old, or irrelevant or unoriginal"

Your club is that ugly kid. It will always have that 119 point wart on its nose. This wart will never go away. Even if you win a flag, the wart will be the first thing people see when they look at your face. Its what your club is known for.

And what was the Power Family day with the Port Magpies playing? Were Magpies memberships availiable on that day? As well as the joint marketing woth regard to the Port Club.

http://www.portmagpies.com.au/portclub_events.php

Note both logos.

I see know reason why the Power can not acknowledge the past flags (apart from AFL heritage round) especially given it is an anniversary year this year. 125 years since first flag, 50th since 1959 and 20 since 1989. Would tie in well with the "Live the Creed" and getting back to being Port Adelaide marketing.

If the Magpies had not of been created the deeds of those who played pre AFL would of been forgotten, or rather glossed over to appease the new supporters and "fabled neutrals".

That is ridiculously speculative and you know it.

Of course it is speculative. But apart from granting automatic life memberships how have the Power ever celebrated the deeds of those guys in the late 80s early 90s?

In the late 90s when the SANFL were scared of the Magpies/Power connection that would be true The fear of them joining together. But I am sure no-one would hold back the Power from celebrating the achievements of their own club. If the Power truly wanted too. I bet most Tealsters would love it too.

Wouldnt you love it if there was some Merchandise and maybe a night to meet some of your idols growing up as a kid? Not put on by the "other" club, but the one that has existed since 1870.

I bet in 2014 there will be plenty of fanfare. As there was at the AFC this year and last, as there would be at any club with such a rich history.

Surely you know that that's complete bullshit. Had the magpies never been created, we wouldn't hear a word about how we're "not the real Port Adelaide", and ofcourse the club would be handling things like Premiership reunions.

At the time of the demerger, we didn't realise we'd constantly have to deal with idiots trying to cite technicalities to deny us our heritage, so, considering we weren't allowed to hold joint functions with the PAMFC, it seemed logical that they handled things like premiership reunions.

I'll say again, the way you are arguing this is sekajesque. We've spelled it out for you a number of times and you ignore what we say and restate the same argument over and over again. Would you like to chuck the word "humiliating" or "119" in there just to complete the picture?

Actually I thought it was an interesting discussion.

I have shown some examples where both clubs have been able to work together. I did not ignore what you (and DT) said but found examples where it has been overcome. I am sure the other SANFL clubs have more the fear (financially) in the Port Club (which is promoted by both clubs), than a Power function honouring players who won many a flag for the club.

Why is it logical that the PAMFC hold these type of reunions. The Power are telling the world they are EST 1870. When you think about it saying it is logical that the "new" club holds these funtions goes against the accepted "EST 1870" logic of the Power.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Because there was never supposed to be a new club and an old club. It was supposed to be one club, demerged because the SANFL wouldn't let us be linked.

The whole "we're the real Port Adelaide" and the wishes that the PAMFC had never been formed have only come around since we've consistently copped crap about who we are and where we come from in the last 5 or 6 years.

The clubs were supposed to share the history. So at the time it was perfectly logical. Both clubs date back to 1870, and both clubs have the rights to the history. It's only the constant attacks on our heritage which have led some Port supporters to reaffirm that the real Port Adelaide FC is the one playing in the AFL, which is correct.

The only way to fix it somewhat is for the Power to fully reclaim and acknowledge the history. I have shown a way that it can.
