This is one to remember...We must get our house in order.

Thank God it is being done but there is still a long way to go.

No doubt the Power joining the AFL killed the S.A Magpies-wonder if it will also effect the Power going forward?

Port Power should never have been allowed into the AFL-the supporter base was always too small and polarized.

Will Port Power Survive long term???

Thoughts...

The franchise did not reflect the rich history of a proud club. This was a HUGE mistake on behalf of the AFL and if they had better foresight i think they would have started two South Australian teams at the same time.

Totally agree. Another one of Wayne Jacksons great legacies. You really wonder what is going to happen to the power in the next 5-10 years.

No future for Port Adelaide either...

In Adelaide ( like Collingwood in Melbourne), you either barrack for them or hate them. Do they have any supporters outside S.A.?

The only followers that Port have are the old Magpie supporters. Everyone else barracks for Adelaide. On a national basis, they have too few to be financially viable. It is just a matter of time....

"The only followers that Port have are the old Magpie supporters."

You are so right, and now that old Magpie football team has been starved to death, you wonder how long those old magpie supporters will support the Teal Port Power.

Another Team on the long Term Drip feed. This is not good for us all.

Thanks Wayne Jackson-you are responsible for this mess.

This is not just B/S, for those interested there is a book called BUYOLOGY by Martin Lindstrom. In one of the chapters it reports how they hooked people up to fMRI machines and found that the regions of the brain activated when thinking about your sports team are exactly the same regions activated when thinking about religion.

This probably says more about what we don't know about the brain more than any other highly subjective conjecture. As I am an atheist, are you saying that I have lost some brain capacity?

UD why no, you barrack for the Dee's and this activity alone catapaults you into the upper echelons of braininess.

And on the other end of the scale there are Collingwood Supporters... :lol:

Gippy

Sad too see any club go under. That said, I would rather it be Port than us in 5-10 years. Boy do we need some success to drag us out of the doldrums!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
