What should the name of the Port Adelaide AFL entity be ?

The most mind boggling thing about this thread is that it is genuine and not intended as a troll.

Agreed, I don't understand this thread at all.

A question for all you neutrals out there would you consider buying a membership, attending games of a club called Adelaide or Southern rather than Port Adelaide.

in the early to mid 1980's i actually donated $50.00 for their survival when ''they were dying'' then, as i didn't ever wanted the comp to change as to what i knew it was, i didn't like the fact of west torrens & woodville losing their independent identity, but this time around NO, I WONT DONATE, BUY MEMBERSHIPS ETC ETC, because of 1990, they gave their word in victor harbor & backflipped, so from that moment i lost all respect for them (both of them), i still believe the magpies will be around longer than this year as for the power why don't people realise that they are an AFL franchised organization just using the port name & the magpies are the REAL PORT

Bayman, you keep thinking that if it pleases you....but I think your post is a great description of SA's other AFL "club".

Why keep the Power part, would be the worste part of the name, drop the Power keep Port Adelaide and call yourselves the Dolphins or something else and i'd be tempted to join.....Power...come on...seriously i still can't believe that was the best name out of the choices they had.

[Macca19]

Im sure the Crows would love the fact they have a new rival called the Adelaide Power. Im sure that doesnt create any cross promotional issues or anything at all.

In fact, maybe the Adelaide Power should drop the Power monker and call them the Adelaide Ravens. Im sure having a black bird similar to the states emblem would only bring people through the door.

[hearts on fire]

What "nickname" choices did they have for the Power when they joined the AFL?

The Paupers?

(sorry lads, dont mind my SOH)

[Hondo]

as i said in another thread:

- the Crows won't let another team be called "Adelaide" and rightly so
- it's too late to quarantine off a geographic area in SA for an AFL side. What about Port supporters who live north or Crows supporters who live south?
- ask the NMFC if it's a good idea to drop your geographic name in an attempt to win wider support

It's a bit like Central Districts name suggests they should be from the Central region of Adelaide, but are more north than North Adelaide.

Elizabeth and Salisbury are located pretty much centrally in the whole Adelaide Plains.

Its not an error.

[Dutchy]

I dont think we could have the Adelaide Crows and the Adelaide Power...

Why Not?

Depends what definition of the Adelaide Plains you use, do a google search and you'll see what I mean as most of them more popular have Elizabeth and Salisbury nowhere near the middle. I can only browse select sites from work but couldn't find one that Elizabeth and Salisbury near the middle.

PS They should have been called the Pirates!

??? Hmm the NAFC - officially established in 1893 when the suburbs would not have gone much past Enfield and even into the early 60's anything North of Gepps Cross was considered country so we were and still are NORTH of Adelaide but excuse us for not changing our name when Centrals entered the comp or were formed in 1959! They should have been North Adelaide and we should have been maybe: JLBNAFC - Just a little bit North of Adelaide FC!

WORST

THREAD

EVER

I thought it was fairly legit to ask... if port want to expand their membership base and strengthen financially it could be a legitimate consideration

For the record i voted 'port adelaide' but only because i like having them as the official enemy. whether or not they make any money (or survive) is someone elses concern

i think its up there with the eagles twitter thread

Imagine the club's song chorus line and people could come to the games with an eye patch and a parrot

What about the Port Adelaide Possums? Why? Because they get killed on the road and play dead at home.
