Although the Port Adelaide football club was founded in 1870, the side would officially been known as the Power in 1997 which was also the year they entered the AFL premiership. Prior to their introduction, Port Adelaide won 34 SANFL titles and were crowned champions of Australia four times. In 2004, they won their maiden AFL flag and are the most successful club in Australia in terms of titles won in any major league across the country.

Travis Boak flying under the Brownlow radar
by Ben Mitchell, 14 May 2013
There is no doubt that Travis Boak has flourished in his new captaincy role. He has been a standout player for the Port Adelaide Power in 2013. Stats such as averaging 27 disposals and a goal per game is evidence that he has improved. Other than Chad Wingard, he is arguably Port’s most improved player [...]
Deledio stars as Tigers thump Port in AFL
by Steve Larkin, 12 May 2013
Richmond AFL linchpin Brett Deledio has heard the criticism: he’s soft, can’t cope with heavy tags, isn’t a leader. And after producing a stunner to help the Tigers sink Port Adelaide by 41 points on Saturday, Deledio isn’t thanking his many critics for the extra motivation. “You definitely hear it – there’s no doubt about [...]

Ken Hinkley’s journey to Port Adelaide
by Kevin Martin, 10 May 2013
I can’t speak highly enough of Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley and the administrators that brought him to our great club.

Power staying real about AFL season start
by David Beniuk, 4 May 2013
Port Adelaide’s best start to an AFL season won’t mean a campaign without pain, caretaker coach Alan Richardson has warned. Taking the reins while head coach Ken Hinkley recuperates from a virus that prevented him flying to Hobart for Saturday’s clash with North Melbourne, Richardson says a 5-0 start has changed nothing about Port’s rebuilding [...]
Port take another step in the right direction
by Dave Webb, 29 Apr 2013
One of the traits of a good team is that they can play badly and still win. For two and a half quarters Port Adelaide were decidedly poor. A team that looked clueless. There is very little point in looking back, but if the Eagles had kicked straight then the Power would be waking up [...]
Port once again a Power
by Cameron Rose, 29 Apr 2013
‘We are Port Adelaide’. Last year, this was a statement to invite ridicule and pity or, even worse, apathy. This year, it stands for something meaningful; heart, courage and commitment. 12 months ago, the Power were the target of much invective. Disgraceful, disgusting, deplorable. Putrid, pathetic, inept. Basically half of what the current Melbourne Football [...]

It leads for calls to replace the current system with a US-style conference system, but unfortunately it would not solve any competition equality problems.

My open-letter to AFL supporters
by Callam P, 20 May 2013
Hello generic AFL supporter, we have never met but I was sitting nearby on Saturday afternoon. I loved the way you cheered the big marks and the pivotal goals. I laughed when you told the umpires they were maggots and suggested an opposition player take up ballet. I appreciated the passion you had for your [...]
Long, cold winter ahead for Western Bulldogs
by Cameron Rose, 20 May 2013

Hawks down plucky GWS by 83 points
by David Beniuk, 19 May 2013
There was no re-writing of the record books as Hawthorn saw off a plucky Greater Western Sydney by 83 points in Saturday’s AFL clash at Aurora Stadium. The result might have never been in doubt but predictions the in-form Hawks would smash all kinds of records proved wide of the mark in a 21.14 (140) [...]
