Over 100 years of history done!
Was one of the last cool traditions getting around.
We didn't get to wear the prison bar or keep our nickname upon entrance to the AFL but have moved on, well most have anyway, this should be no different.
Yes this is true. There is a small supporter group that is particular upset about this, however I'm sure they'll be fine in the end.
As I have said before for me this is not a huge issue, I am more so concerned with issues around our game plan, skill level and ball movement first.

Certainly have moved on since killing off the Port Magpies.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

The death of the Port Magpies in the SANFL is still something I will always be disappointed in in terms of football which ever way you look at it. Still such a sad end to something some grand.
I will always recall fondly the memories of going to Alberton with the old man and his old man to see the Magpies play.
However gone are the good old days and the way things are heading the SANFL is walking the same line. Very sad.

I'm a power supporter but I'm not a "one club" supporter.

I agree. In saying that, the Magpies arm of the PAFC should have been put to bed in 1997.

It’s definitely not end of world stuff but I like uniquish traditions.
It was also sad Arsenal removed their 100 year tradition which saw the captain chose whether the team wore long sleeves or short sleeves each individual match. All the players had to follow suit.

Heaps of people talking about handing in their membership if the club breaks with tradition. I understand the want of many to keep in line with a proud history, and Ive always personally been a fan of just the 1 skipper at a club, but at the end of the day support the club and if they decide co-captains is in their best interest (why else would they do it?) then surely you just go with it?
The die hard/front running port fans will use any excuse to jump off.
Time slots AAMI stadium is crow stadium(2 minutes from Alberton) Weather Ticket prices Making a grand final and getting ass punched Train strikes Beer prices Missing out on pregame dragon boat races Telecast was Live on tv Paying a for a bus ticket to the game
The results don’t change just the excuses.
Are port going to take up the bad press they cop with former player Dwayne Russell.
As for co-captains at port well the line “it’s the true port Adelaide tradition”’ I’m assuming will be changed
Looks like we need to add co-captains to the list of excuses PAFC fans won’t attend Afl games in droves
Poor front runners
