You think there would be more than three thousand people that are Magpies only fans? I don't.


Many more than that.
Get your head out of the sand mate.
Really? Where are they? Where is the evidence for this mythical population of people?


Their heads aren’t in the sand or up their ar$e so you probably won’t see them :lol:
Solid argument.

Just another hypothesis. Putting it out there again.

It couldn't be that in fact, it is you who is denying reality? It is you that is perhaps blinded by emotion? It is you that is a victim of an echo chamber of only like minded people?

I mean all of the non anecdotal and anecdotal evidence points that way, but you know, hypothesis and all that.

Go ahead I say. Just don't call yourself Port Adelaide.


Just don't reference soccer in any way to aussie rules and certainly not to Port Adelaide.

We go there to watch the spectacle that is the game. If you want choir practice there's plenty of churches about or if you're attracted to bright lights you're as smart as a moth.

I thought the reference to AFC Wimbledon and FC United were pretty apt in the context of the discussion. Both are clubs formed by fans disenfranchised with their original clubs, so started new ones for the real fans.

Bloody hell.
Doesn't this thread grow with morell around? :lol:
I couldn't be bothered reading through it all as I usually do. I think the gist is basically morell lecturing us all that the Power is more important than the Magpies, therefore supporters of the latter aren't entitled to an opinion.
And he's written about 3 pages of analysis to that effect.
Am I right? I really couldn't be bothered reading it all and past experience has taught me it's usually just a very simple idea that he feels needs complication. In basic words, the power will kill the Magpies if it's convenient. Right! Let's start talking about everything especially, except that! :lol:

Yeah that about sums it up.

I'll question the complicating things though. I get in strife elsewhere for being patronising and condescending by not going into detail and just poking fun at people. So I don't do that and carefully explain through my opinion. Now I get criticism for that!

Bunch of bloody Goldilocks in here.

The reason you're getting in trouble is that your basic argument is flawed.
Simple.
You can put on all the icing and cherries that you want, it's still going to smell like shit if it's a turd.

and yet there isn't a single refutation of any significance beyond "nah you're wrong".

What, all of them

Ok, in the beginning Sanful made Adelaide. But he could see that Adelaide was lonely so he created Port that she may mate with Adelaide. But Port was greedy and disobeyed Sanful and ate from the forbidden Aful tree, so Sanful banished Adelaide and Port from the garden of sanful.
Adelaide and Port travelled far until they came upon the sinful and corrupt city of AvFL. But there was no room in the inn, for AvFL already begat a Magpie and for sure would not allow another.
Port begat two sons, Power and Magpie, but Power slain his brother Magpie in an act of treacherous fraticide so he could dwell in the sinful city of AvFL.
Port begate another offspring, and named that bastard child also Magpie.

Benevolent sanful came upon Port and her bastard offspring Magpie, but the immaculate conception was surely weak and deformed. Sanful took pity upon mother and child, and fed them with 15 million loaves and fishes. Then a wondrous miracle did occur, for Power would preach to his followers in the church of the blind faith,. He would preach of his history, of his time in the garden of sanful, but sanful had begat other offspring whose followers were from the church of the nonbeliever, who knew what was true and that the Magpie was surely cunning.
For these were the followers of the Bulldog and the Tiger, the Rooster and the Panther, of noble beast who served sanful and obeyed the ways of sanful.

Adelaide begat another son and named him Raven for he was the child of evil and deceit. Adelaide and Port returned to sanful and asked that he would let their children enter the garden. For sure sanful was weak and easily fooled by his lust for false promIses, promises of many followers, of wealth and good fortune. And truly the Rooster, the Tiger the Woodeagle and the beastless ones did sucker to sanful and threw open the gates to the garden.
Only the Panther and the Bulldog could foresee the plagues that would beset sanful, but he was blinded.

The Raven and Magpie were conceited and vain children, and like their parents had done, stole and ate the harvest from the garden, that their siblings would have none. Surely sanful grew weak as his children grew weak and his followers did abandon them. But sanful did love Raven and Magpie and did foresake his own. Then AvFL did awaken and did call to Adelaide and Port and did proclaim, bring your children to me for I am the word and my word is the law. And low Adelaide and Port would take their children from the garden of sanful because they were indeed powerful and would lead them to the promised land, a land where all the children of the AvFL would live and prosper.
And AvFL did proclaim that sanful was a blasphemer and did crucify him and his children be enslaved to serve the new king. And his word was so.
