The Port Magpies and Port Power should be part of the same club. It is no different to Geelong and Collingwood, both of whom have a VFL team. I suspect that this recommendation by the club directors reflects petty jealousy and mean vindictiveness rather than an impartial view of what’s good for the game as a whole. The SANFL should overrule this recommendation and let the merger proceed. And tell the rest of the SANFL clubs to lift their game.

This just proves that creating Port Power in the AFL was misjudged and the Port Magpies were always going to be the innocent victims of the move.

I don’t understand the short sightedness of this SANFL decision, perhaps illustrating why they never had the vision and capacity to run a national game!

140 years of History, record amount of flags, most clubs get the highest crowds when we come to play them and they left us out to die, Long live the PAMFC and I hope the SANFL dies.

and the question stands – - is this for the good of the game??

Port Adelaide magpies carries a huge history and tradition.
