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 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
