The Eagles weren't arrogant enough wear it against a fellow WA side.

Pretty big difference there.

It was deliberate.
At the time it was decided that rather than let Port pull off their attempt to enter the VFL (so called AFL) independently, allegedly representing SA, a composite team more representative of SA football as a whole would be formed. Hence the colours and the "team for all..." theme in the song.

The tragedy that has befallen the SANFL started with that compromise and was aggravated by the later back down involved in giving a Port Adelaide team the second licence instead of forming a second composite team that may have attracted broader support. The SANFL has never stopped backing down under pressure from Melbourne since.

No one is asking people to support the crows, they are honouring football in this state, something no other club will do

Exactly. Whether the Crows are 'honouring' the guernsey can only be assessed objectively - i.e. by the wider SA footballing public. You can't just put it on and tell us your honouring it.

Wouldn't a North Adelaide/Power double win in the two comps be a lovely way to start the season. Adelaide Slime buckets.
I'll be at both games and hopefully won't be disappointed.

I would hope North Adelaide win but not Port Power, have never barracked for a Port side and never will.

The real Port is no longer around so it makes it a lot easier.
