Port Adelaide Football Club, often referred to as simply Port or the Power, is an Australian rules football club based in Adelaide, South Australia.

They were known as the Cockledivers, Seaside Men, Seasiders, Mudholians, Dustholians, Magentas before finally settling on Magpies in 1902. In 1997 The Port Adelaide Football Club joined the Australian Football League (AFL). On entry, Port Adelaide adopted a new nickname, Port Power, which was changed to just 'Power' shortly thereafter, and added two more colours (silver and teal) in a requirement to differentiate itself from an existing AFL club, the Collingwood Football Club.

History

Foundation years: 1870 - 1901

The Port Adelaide Football Club was established on 13 May 1870 with a meeting between President John Hart Jnr, Captain John Hart, Secretary, R.W.J Leicester and treasurer, George Ireland. R.W.J Leicster and John Rann are acknowledged as the founders of the club. The club played its first match against a team called the 'Young Australians' on 24 May 1870 at Buck's Flat, a property owned by President Hart in Glanville, South Australia. Football in South Australia at this stage was rather unorganised and there were several sets of rules in use across the state. is the 133rd day of the year (134th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1870 (MDCCCLXX) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Monday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ... is the 144th day of the year (145th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1870 (MDCCCLXX) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Monday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ... For the song, see South Australia (song). ...

In 1877 however, Port Adelaide joined seven other local clubs and formed the South Australian Football Association, the first organisation of its type in Australia. It competed its first few seasons of competition wearing a rose pink outfit with white knickerbockers. The club initially enjoyed modest success and did not win a premiership until 1884. By this time, the strip had changed to magenta with navy knickerbockers. In 1880, the club moved from Glanville Park Oval to Alberton Oval which, except for the 1975 and 1976 seasons, has been its base ever since. Port Adelaide's humble results continued before a second premiership in 1890. It was in this season that Port Adelaide was crowned 'Champions of Australia' for the first time after they defeated VFA premier, South Melbourne. Alberton Oval is located on Queen St, Alberton. ...

The 1890s were grim economic times for Port Adelaide's working class base and many players were forced to move interstate to find work. This transferred into poor results on the field. In 1896, with the club in crisis, the club committee met with the aim of revitalising the spirit and instilling a new sense of pride in the Port Adelaide Football Club. It had immediate results and in 1897, Port Adelaide returned to the winners list with a third premiership. Stan Malin won Port Adelaide's first Magarey Medal in 1899. Port finished bottom in a six-team competition in 1900, it has not finished bottom since. The Magarey Medal is an Australian Rules Football award, given annually since 1897 to the best and fairest player in the South Australian National Football League as adjudged by the field umpires. ...

Developing tradition: 1902 - 1949

In 1902, Port Adelaide took to the field in the famous black and white for the first time as they were having trouble finding the appropriate dye for its magenta guernseys. The club was now being referred to as 'the Magpies' and the Port Adelaide Football Club was taking a more familiar look. Something which was also becoming familiar was winning premierships with success in 1903, 1906, 1910, 1913 and 1914. Port Adelaide also added to its 'Champions of Australia' title in 1890 with victories in 1910, 1913 and 1914. From June 21 1913 to July 31, 1915 the club was undefeated in 30 games including the 1914 season in which Port achieved the rare distinction of going through the entire season without losing a match. 1914 also saw Port hold North Adelaide to a record low Grand Final of 1.8 (14) to Port's 13.15 (93). At the end of the year the SAFA put together a combined team from all other SAFA clubs to take on the Magpies and Port won again.

Port Adelaide's pre-war success did not continue post war and from 1919 to 1935, the club recorded only two premiership successes in 1921 and 1928. The depression of the early 1930s hit the club hard with several of its better players moving interstate to secure employment. However, by late 1930s, the economy was on the improve and so was Port Adelaide's form. The losers netted three premierships in four years with titles in 1936, 1937 and 1939. Just as in 1914, Port Adelaide had hit the peak of their form in the lead up to war, and, just as with World War One, the club was hit hard by players losses to World War Two. From 1942 to 1944, Port Adelaide merged with nearby West Torrens Football Club and the combined side picked up one premiership in this time. Port Adelaide struggled to regain its pre-war momentum once competition resumed in 1945 and played in only one grand final for the rest of the 1940s.

Fos Williams era: 1950 - 1973

Desperate seeking a change in fortunes, the Port Adelaide committee went in search of a coach that could win the club a premiership. In a decision which would shape the next 50 years of the Port Adelaide Football Club, the committee took a punt on a rover from West Adelaide with just 54 SANFL games to his name - Foster Neil Williams. Williams brought a new uncompromising coaching style based on success at any cost. In just his second season as coach, Williams led the Magpies to their first premiership since 1939. However this was just the beginning of an unprecedented run of success. From 1953, Port Adelaide played in every grand final for the rest of the decade and won a record six premierships in a row from 1954–1959. Williams left as coach in 1958 and Port Adelaide's success seemed to go with him. With his return in 1962, Port Adelaide won three of the next four premierships taking Williams' tally to nine.

This era introduced Magpies fans to players the likes of John Cahill, Peter Woite, David Boyd, Geof Motley and Russell Ebert. However, the club failed to win a premiership over the period 1966-1976. Port, and Fos Williams, were frustrated particularly by the dominance of Sturt, which captured seven titles over this period with its run-on game under the leadership of Jack Oatey.

John Cahill era: 1974 - 1988

One of Port Adelaide's finest players during the Fos Williams era was John Cahill. He eventually became William's protégé and ultimately took over as coach in 1974. While not experiencing success as soon as Williams, Cahill coached in the Williams mould and was, if anything, even more attacking. Cahill took the Magpies to their first Grand Final under his leadership in 1976. They lost the match but learnt a lot, and converted this experience into premierships in four out of five seasons from 1977 to 1981.

Off-field, a dispute between the Port Adelaide City Council and the SANFL forced the Magpies to move to Adelaide Oval for two seasons from 1975 to 1976. This dispute was eventually solved and the Magpies moved back to Alberton in 1977. The City of Port Adelaide Enfield was established in 1996 through an amalgamation of Port Adelaide and Enfield councils, and is one of the largest metropolitan councils within South Australia. ...

Cahill left the SANFL Magpies in 1983 to coach the VFL Magpies, Collingwood, for two seasons. This saw Port Adelaide fall back to the field somewhat and would not win another premiership until 1988. Collingwood Football Club, nicknamed The Magpies, is an Australian rules football club involved, and playing in the Australian Football League. ...

Meanwhile, the 1980s marked the rise and rise of the VFL as the premier football competition in the country. SANFL players were flowing across the border to Victoria in search of the large salaries on offer.

Entering the AFL: 1989-1996

As early as 1982, there was talk of a side from South Australia entering the VFL. This was fast tracked in 1987 when a team from Western Australia, the West Coast Eagles, and a team from Brisbane, the Brisbane Bears joined the VFL. This left South Australia as the only mainland state in Australia without a team in an increasingly national competition.

The SANFL had been unwilling to entertain the thought of a South Australian side in the VFL. In 1990, the Port Adelaide Football Club, frustrated at the SANFL's lack of action and looking to secure its own future, formally applied to enter what had now become the AFL. The AFL signed a Heads of Agreement with the club in expectation that Port would enter the competition in 1991. What ensued was one of the most bitter episodes in South Australian football history that split the state, the fault lines of which are still evident today. Furious at what it perceived to be treacherous behaviour by Port Adelaide, the SANFL put forward a counter bid to enter a composite South Australian side into the AFL. After legal action from all parties, the AFL finally agreed to accept the SANFL's bid and the Adelaide Football Club was born. Ultimately, Port Adelaide could not compete against the SANFL's ownership of infrastructure and the support of the nine other clubs in South Australia. This page is for the Australian Rules Football Club in Adelaide. ...

The fallout from this failed bid was disastrous with some even calling for Port Adelaide to be expelled from the SANFL. However, Port Adelaide continued to compete and continued to dominate. The Magpies followed their triple triumphs from 1988 to 1990 with a premiership in 1992 and three in a row again from 1994 to 1996. This equated to seven premierships in nine seasons.

But the anger from the failed AFL bid continued to simmer below the surface. In 1994, the AFL announced it would award a second AFL licence to a South Australian club. Port Adelaide seemed the obvious choice but this did not stop other clubs putting their case forward. The strongest threat came from a combined Norwood-Sturt bid. After much deliberation, the AFL awarded Port Adelaide the second licence and after years of delays, Port was set to enter the premier competition in Australia.

However a licence did not guarantee entry and although a target year of 1996 was set, this was reliant on an existing AFL club folding or merging with another. In 1996, cash-strapped Fitzroy announced it would merge with Brisbane Bears to form Brisbane Lions. A spot had finally opened and it was announced that in 1997, one year later than expected, Port Adelaide would enter the AFL. Fitzroy Football Club, most recently nicknamed The Lions, was an Australian rules football club formed in 1883 to represent the inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, Victoria and was a foundation member club of the Victorian Football League (now the Australian Football League) on its inception in 1897. ... Brisbane Bears were an Australian rules football Club and was the first Queensland-based club in the Victorian Football League. ... Brisbane Lions Australian Football Club (the trading name for the Brisbane Bears-Fitzroy Football Club) is an Australian Football League club based in Brisbane, Queensland. ...

Because Collingwood, an existing AFL team, played in black and white stripes and were nicknamed the Magpies, it was incumbent on Port Adelaide to find new colours and a new nickname to avoid a clash. In 1995, a new guernsey - jumper was created with the look unveiled made up of Black, White, Silver and Teal which represents the water of the Port River. The logo consisted of three strips, reflecting the colours.

Once an entry date had been confirmed, the Port Adelaide Football Club set about forming a side fit for competition in the AFL. It was announced that existing Magpies coach, John Cahill would make the transition to the AFL. Cahill then set about forming a group which would form the inaugural squad. Brownlow medallist and former Magpie, Gavin Wanganeen was poached from Essendon and made captain of a team comprised of existing Magpies players, players from other SANFL clubs and some recruits from interstate. Gavin Wanganeen (born 16 June 1973) is an Australian rules footballer, currently playing with the Port Adelaide Football Club. ...

1997-98

On 29 March 1997 Port Adelaide played its first match for AFL premiership points against Collingwood at the MCG and copped a 79-point thrashing. Port won its first game in the AFL in Round 3 against Geelong on April 12 1997 by 39 points. In Round 4 it recorded one if its best wins for the season when it defeated cross town rivals and eventual premiers The Crows by 11 points in the very first Showdown. In May, John Cahill walked out on the team for a couple of days after a verbal argument with football operations manager Mick Moylan. Cahill said to Moylan: 'You've burnt me. You're claiming I'm not training the players hard enough. I've had it'.^{[citation needed]} Cahill returned to the club but Moylan left at the end of the season. At the mid way point of the season (round 11) Port were in ninth position out of the eight by just percentage. In Round 20 they drew their first match against the Brisbane Lions at the The Gabba. Port Adelaide was widely tipped to take the wooden spoon at the start of the season but defied the critics and recovered from its poor start to finish 9th just percentage behind Brisbane.

Heritage-Themed Round: The 2006 controversy concerning the AFL's refusal to permit Port to wear its traditional black-and-white "prison bar" guernsey in the heritage-themed rounds continued in 2007. Earlier in the year, Power chief executive John James said the club was waiting for confirmation from the AFL that it could wear its 1970s prison bar guernsey for the match against the Western Bulldogs. He said Port was also looking for confirmation it would be able to continue to honour its heritage in any future heritage rounds. Port Adelaide wore black-and-white in the SANFL from 1902 until adding teal and silver to its colours when it joined the AFL in 1997 to avoid a clash with Collingwood. Port Adelaide decided not to participate in the 2006 heritage round when the AFL did not approve the club’s 1980s-style black-and-white guernsey for its 80s themed heritage round. Collingwood club president Eddie McGuire has been a vocal opponent of Port wearing the prison bar guernsey, claiming that Collingwood has an exclusive right to wear black and white in the AFL, even in the heritage round. John James stated that the Power possibly received more correspondence from its supporters about the heritage guernsey than about any other issue and that the club would “continue to fight for its heritage and what is right”.^[2] On 14 May 2007 the AFL and Port reached an agreement whereby Port can wear its prison bar guernsey in the heritage round this season, with the proviso that in future seasons its players can only wear it in home heritage round games and provided that such a game is not against Collingwood.^[3] It appears that the Power may never wear their prison-bar guernsey again, given that the Adelaide Crows unfairly, and untraditionally plays at AAMI Stadium every year in Heritage Round.

Some former players also criticized wearing the heritage guernsey and called for the club to distance itself from its previous history in order to attract a wider fan base. Roger James says he had always viewed the Power as a new club "I understand Port's background but as far as I'm concerned the Power was started from scratch, has only been in the (AFL) competition for 11 years and was made up of players from every SANFL club, to me, its heritage goes back to 1997 and that's why I question the decision to wear a Magpies jumper." The Power has long been troubled by low attendances and membership due its limited supporter base.^{[citation needed]} Josh Francou commented that "It's time to move on, I can understand Port wanting to recognise its history but there is still a stigma attached with the Port Magpies in that if you don't like them you absolutely hate them and I think Port - while still being respectful of its heritage - has to move away from that."^[4] Roger James (born October 21, 1975) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League. ...
