Probably voted themselves for that guernsey a few thousand times to make sure it got over the line

Unfortunately for all those on here making false assertions, the fact is that the guernsey picked by the fans is the one that the AFC have gone with. (ie the V style).

Same hoops style as Central just darker blue

That leaves just Sturt, Eagles & North there is no likeness with ....

Put the tin foil hat away

SimonH wrote:For all the talk of 'one leadership player', the Crows can bring in whomever they want and pay them as much as they want. Just hire them as assistant coaches. Or, in homage to The Office, Assistants to the Coaches. Anyway, you pay them a pittance for running around and playing footy, and a (state league) fortune for 'developing the junior members of the group' and 'leading by example'.

Here's an excellent plan for circumventing the salary cap (let's face it, the comp has already thrown away its credibility, so the gloves are off): if the Crows can, why can't every SANFL team have a playing assistant coach? Or more than one? "We can only squeeze in $25k of our cap for your playing fees—but luckily an assistant midfield coach spot just became vacant. And you're the perfect candidate."

Sam Lonergan, Leader of Men: come on down!

Not as deep as the Crows (who, let's face it, are no threat to win a SANFL flag any time soon unless they significantly re-game the system). But deeper than other SANFL clubs. Deep enough for the salary cap to be an impediment in the real game: getting an advantage over other clubs who might be in a position to win the flag.

There would be no point in having a salary cap, unless some clubs were willing and able to spend more than it, if not prevented from doing so.

I dont think the Crows or Power will be that far away, all dependant on injuries.
What we need to consider is the standard of the curent SANFL teams will IMO drop considerably. Just the removal of AFL listed players from each team will do that. Also the possibility and we have seen some retirements already of the 26-32 yr olds who dont want to be part of a development league.
The comp wont need rules like only one player over 28 for Crows and Power, It will be the norm for all clubs and they will be lucky to have one player over 28. There won't need to be a salary cap either when SAAFL and country clubs have a bigger budget than the league clubs.
Hope Im wrong but give it 5 years

Don't even think of lumping the PAFC in with that mercenary abomination known as the Camry Number 2s. While they continue with this pathetic policy of rotating "top up" players through their system on 4-6 week contracts, they'll never be known as anything but a practice side.

Unlike Port Adelaide who are continuing the process of contracting their squads (Juniors, Reserves & League) for a tilt at the Premiership over the entire season.

PAFC- Doing everything better than everyone else for 143 years

Getting massacred in AFL grand finals better than everyone else; digging deep financial holes and needing help to crawl out of them better than everyone else; running down the team and the comp that was always the bedrock of the Port Adelaide Football Club's achievements, better than everyone else; disconnecting itself from the local community and closing up shop on junior development, and so starving its SANFL reserves (and ultimately league) team of talent, better than everyone else.

Talented kids growing up a drop punt from Alberton Oval will be playing their U/16 and U/18 football for whom? Not Port, that's for sure.
