Power to Tasmania?

After being built up by Rowey all day, this story was released just after 5.

According to Cornesy, there is a federal meeting being held to discuss the possibility for an AFL team in Tasmania, there will be three options on the table:

1.Create a new team for Tassie.

2.Relocate a Victorian team.

3.Relocate the Power.


Won't happen, I know, but it's interesting that they're even bringing up the Power's name. An agreement similar to what Hawthorn have is more viable.

One positive to the move is that it would significantly decrease the crime rate in SA.

That's funny XztatiK but Crows players probably commit more crimes but we wont let facts get in the way of an attempted funny joke.

Tredders drops into Choco 's house on Thursday a couple of hours before training to talk about that night's session. As he walks in he sees
Choco finishing off his lunch - eating the biggest tomato he had ever seen.

A hobby vegie grower from way back, Tredders excitedly asks Choco "Where did ya get that tomato?"

"I grew it myself," Choco proudly answers. "Stiffy and Truck down at the Crows have a hobby farm and they mix up a secret blend of sheep manure, horse manure and cow manure and they gave me a bag."

"I've just gotta try some of that on my vegies" says Tredders, "Can you get me some?"

"No worries," is the reply, "I'll stop in at Stiffy 's on the way to training and grab you a bag."

At Alberton Oval that evening Peter Rohde has just finished signing up Michael Wilson for 6 more years when he walks out of his office and sees Choco dragging a large, heavy bag into the Power rooms.

"What's that?" he asks.

Choco replies "I've got a bag of sh*t from the Crows for Tredders."

"Well done" says Rhodey. "Good Trade!"

In all seriousness, the Power wouldn't move there as it seems to want to be the NT/SA team of choice. There would be more chance of St Kentucky Fried Chicken moving there.

You'll find that after the premiership, Hawthorne will receive a groundswell of support from olde '80's fans. The Hawk experiment of playing in Lawn-ceston will die a slow death.

Should there be a team in Tassie? Probably, but it's like politics. Take the seat of say Elizabeth. When the ALP are in power they know that the punters will vote ALP, so why invest in that area? When the Libs are in power, ditto.

Unfortunately, Tassie is too Aussie Rules for its own good. The AFL knows they will support Aussie Rules rather than say NRL, or Union, or soccer - so why try to raise acceptance from 75% to 90%?

Like politics, the money always goes to the marginal seats.

Nice...relocate the Power, and relocate the people who support them. Other sports may then get a look in on the news reports and in the paper.

Just a few true jokes i found.

Q: What do you do for a drowning Power player?
A: Nothing. You could drag him to the top, but he'll choke anyway.

Q: What is the difference between Mount Everest and Port Power?
A: Not everyone has walked over Everest.

Sure harry, whatever you say!

In regards to Power to Tassie, Melbourne (Demons) should be on the list before Port, but history will uphold Melbourne's continuation in the league out of Vic.

That is where the AFL has double standards proven once again.

Harry im a port supporter and i have all my teeth, the correct number of fingers and toes. Ive got all my hair and im completely f*cking normal. Please can we add some substance to this topic? Port supporters may be "toothless hobos" or what ever the f*ck you think but at least we want to actually talk about the football instead of ganging up on the minority with stupid jokes. This is the only thing that Vics have over us croweaters! I mean you can get better quality unbias newspaper articles about port players in Vic papers ffs! At least the Vics can talk about bloody football!

Corey, was that yet another joke about the intelligence of Port supporters??? How the hell did those stats indicate that Port aren't chokers? Do you know what choking is? It's getting knocked out of the finals in straight sets after finishing top. It's losing games after leading by 40pts at 3qtr time. It's losing Grand Finals by 119pts. Those stats, while interesting, have absolutely nothing to do with choking.

Since we're heading in the joke direction anyway...


What do you call a 30year-old female Port supporter?

Grandma


What do you call a Port supporter who has had an abortion?

Crimestopper


Why did Cinderella run away from the ball?

Just copying Port players.


2007 GF:
* Waiting in a queue for six hours to buy a grand final ticket.
* Sacrificing two dole cheques to pay for it.
* $200 of supporters gear (free when shoplifted).
* Risking two years' jail to steal a half-decent car to get you to Melbourne.
* 8 hours travel and $150 petrol (not including what you sniff or what you steal).
* Overnight stay (free on a park bench).
* Return trip another eight hours.
* Grand final result & PRICELESS!


A Port Adelaide supporter went down to Centrelink to claim welfare after realising she was the only one of her friends - who were all "Power" supporter - who was not on benefits.
"How many children do you have?" the man at Centrelink asked.
"Ten," she replied.
"What are their names?"
"Jaidyn, Jaidyn, Jaidyn, Jaidyn, Jaidyn, Jaidyn, Jaidyn, Jaidyn, Jaidyn and Jaidyn," she replied.
"They're all named Jaidyn?" he asked "What if you want them to come in from playing outside?"
"Oh, that's easy," she said. "I just call 'Jaidyn,' and they all come running in."
"And, if you want them to come to the table for dinner?"
"I just say, 'Jaidyn, come eat your dinner'," she answered.
"But what if you just want ONE of them to do something?" he asked.
"Oh, that's easy," she said. "I just use their last name."

OK X, I was looking at the OVERALL statistics of the 2 clubs, you were focusing on certain instances which I guess is easy to do and relavent to how the "choking" tag started.

The OVERALL stats I have provided I guess give the people reading this thread the picture as who has the better percantage win/loss record in all games and finals. That was my argument from a different angle.

Port 2 Grand Finals - 1 Premiership

The Crows are equal chokers. How many years were they a dominant force in the AFL only to be stopped by West Coast in the finals year after year.
