From a West Coast Eagles member who sympathises with the Port Adelaide faithful: What a bunch of hypocrites these panelists are. The Port fans have had to put up with one false dawn after another. They have absolutely every right to boo. If it’s ok for these panelists to completely scorch the club on a show that reaches a national audience, then it’s alright for the justifiably upset fans to do the same. Kane, you get paid to watch that club and it’s during your work hours. The Port fans have dig into their own pockets for the privilege and during their time off from work. Put yourself in their shoes before you call them “disgraceful”.

I'm very proud of all the Port Fans. They bood with such honesty. And integrity. So proud. They are fully aware of the importance of honesty in communication for a high performing team. Even more so than the brissy coach. Maybe that's why their first half of season has been a disgrace?? Now can one of the fans go pull their coach aside and teach him about honesty. Kens half time spill to Cam Mooney was hilarious beyond words. 40 points dn and they just have to change the simple things to get back in the game. Even Mooney looked perplexed. Poor guys lost it.?

The players need to take a good hard look at themselves, if you love your coach then you have to put it all on the line for him instead of putting pretty poor efforts out there like they have the last three games otherwise you have cost him his job. Players have taken advantage of Ken and have cost him his job as there is no way he will last the year. Biggest problem with Ken is he treats them like his kids when at times he needs to give them the good hard truth. I don’t blame the fans for booing as I don’t believe it was all directed at Ken, a good portion of the boos would have been directed at the board that gave Ken an extension when the fans had been asking for a change. Throw everything at Buckley and hope you can convince him to give up his current life, surely this list is attractive to someone like Buckley as it has some pretty damn good players and just needs to be coached a bit sharper and needs a little more depth, unfortunately for Port I don’t see Buckley taking the plunge and so they will be left with Carr.

Thanks for the contribution, Kane. And you might have some credibility if the administrators, it's employees and the cheerleaders in the media haven't spent years gaslighting supporters who attend their games and pay their memberships. Hinkley was signed IN SPITE of the fans. Perennial loser Charlie Dixon called the fanbase "two cents". Koch referred to them as "white noise". And the club paid back the members' support by losing in straight sets and embarrassing everyone on this important anniversary. When does it end?

I believe Port Power have to stop with pretending to be The Old Port Adelaide and put on their Guernsey that they established on August 31 1995 not 1870 before they're a legitimate chance of winning an AFL Premiership again. Being the one club hasn't done Port Power any favour and Port Adelaide Magpies are totally different to Port Power. It's offensive to say Port Adelaide Power and Port Adelaide Magpies are the one team as of late 2010 in which I was against The proposal and should be no more under The One Club Banner. I know they're a lot of Crows, Collingwood and other Team Supporters who barrack for Port Adelaide Magpies in The SANFL too and it's a joke that Port in The AFL live in a fantasy and copy the original Port Adelaide Magpie Slogan. No More rubbish thank you Port Power this is a long term consequence if you continue with your trash in living in a fantasy. Lastly I'm not surprised with their on field performances with this fantasy that they keep relieving in the background and in their subconscious. No more It's dreadful.

[@Thebeginningofwisdom863]

I believe that Port wore on Saturday a guernsey that was similar to the one they wore to win the 2004 premiership. It was one of the 3 original guernsey designs that was presented in 1995. The black and white prison bar guernsey only started in 1902. From 1870, it was blue and white hoops, then progressed into blue, magenta, and yellow before 1902. Those 2 guernseys were worn by the power in AFL heritage games. They had also worn a pure pink , a pink and blue guernsey , and a different blue and white one too. Most true Port Adelaide supporters know this information because they have continued supporting the one club with two teams. The magpies staying in the SANFL as an AFL reserve team hasn't worked. Unfortunately, it is time for the SA teams to be a part of the AFL reserves. The prison bar design is the most iconic and attractive black and white guernsey. But we've come too far now to go back. It seems it can only be a part of history now.

[@user-xs8mt4bn5s]

@@Thebeginningofwisdom863 Hey yes they Port Power did all that and it was silly. I know they wore The Blue and White Bananas and Pajama's Gurnseys in Showdown 14 August of 2005 Ha ha 😊.

I remember Eddie McGuire who wasn't our president and The President Kevin Rose at The time saying it was stupid that Port wanted to copy Collingwood before they were even in the AFL for 1997. Lastly by the way the Crows represent every team in The SANFL so they could say that they established in 1870 too. They have a right to not Port Power or anyone else. Port Power established 1995 and Port Magpies established in 1870. So the Crows are decent to say that they established in October/November of 1990 when I was 6 months old and yet they don't live in a fantasy fairs fair and no more rubbish from Port Power being the same club than The original Port Adelaide Magpies.
