This club could be the league's biggest problem in the next year or so.

Never agreed with their inclusion into the AFL as the supporter base was never going to be diverse enough.

Another great Wayne Jackson move...he did so much!!

    they'll merge....they'll fix themselves up.. The AFL has no real basketcases as far as introduced teams :rolleyes: just as there's no tanking...:lol: Port will come out smelling a little better than Carrum Downs or Werribee and all will be fine.

    Shall be interesting to see the outcome BB as over the last few years there has been a real identity crisis within those two clubs.

    Within south australia a lot of supporters have not felt comfortable barracking for one or either teams.

    Would be hard to barrack for those colours though, so i understand the dilema!! :lol:

    it was always a risk to have the 2nd SA team being Port Adelaide... while there was a ready made supporter base there, it would always alienate other football followers in SA....

    could you imagine, if the AFL originated out of SANFL, and in Victoria everyone followed a 'Melbourne' team, how many football followers of the VFL would then embrace Collingwood being the 2nd side? not many I would think...

    I didn't realise the Power and Magpies were separate, they need a branding overhaul.

    EDIT: They need an overhaul of everything.

    I must confess I always thought that Port..was Port. That is to say that the AFL team was an outcrop of the SANFL team. Only in reent times has it occured to me that this wasnt quite the case. Port is a basketcase ( and still they managed a Premiership :blink:) They are indeed a parochial lot in SA. They do love their footy ( and good on them ) but there are distinct divides.

    There's been a bit of movement at the helm there. I suspect things will calm down some.

    I agree a norward supporter would never barrack for, port, unless one of his relatives play for port, then again, it took chads farther a long time to even watch his sons play for port, so you can see how narrow minded south aussie are.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
