Port Adelaide Football Club is arguably the most successful
senior football club, not only in South Australia but Australia-wide.Since its first game in 1870, the club has gone on to win an Australian record of 34 SANFL premierships (up until 1997) In 1997 they joined the country's national competition - the Australian Football League. The Power and Magpies share the past of Port Adelaide from 1870-1996 a long , proud and successful history. On joining the AFL, teal blue and silver were added to the famous black and white, along with a new nickname, "POWER", to avoid a clash with the Collingwood Magpies. In 2004 they won their first premiership in their 8th season as an AFL team. |

I'm a Port Adelaide
fan. I'm a current member. I live in Sydney but that hasn't always been the case. I grew up in Sydney the Rugby League heartland. Somehow the game of Aussie Rules used to get my attention once a year when they used to broadcast into Sydney live for the grand finals in the seventies.That used to excite me no end and I developed a liking for the Collingwood football club. I loved the way they played and the clubs pride and loyalty. No one knew what I was about to discover years later that would blow me away. This helped me to develop a wanting to play the great game. I did this at school through the weekly sports session which saw us play other schools in the district. As this was a new sport introduced into schools we copped a fare bit...the usual taunts of "ah you play aerial pingpong" "that's a wussies game and so forth. But my love for the game just got stronger. Well I left school and in my search to find my bearings I ended up in Adelaide. I was in my element there because it was Aussie Rules all the way with no league spoiling the party. I'm back living in Sydney but Sydneys' attitude is now changing and has come along way since the seventies. But going back to going to South Australia...I found myself watching the fantastic football being played in the SANFL. I even worked with a guy who played first grade for North Adelaide. One club caught my attention...do I have to say it? Yes Port Adelaide! When I was asked to go to the Friday night footy and watch Port go around I didnt think twice, I was there, the atmosphere was electric and the supporters ...well they just blew me away, they bled tears of joy with every win or bled with every loss. It surpassed by far my Collingwood connection . I knew then that the club that gave me this kind of high was and is the club that I support to this day and needless to say I will always follow and support.In 1997 when they became a part of the AFL, well I started "bleeding teal". Now I could see my club being showcased in the best sporting competition in the land and Port Adelaide did this without sacrificing any of its history. My mission still remains the same...to help my club win premierships. |

| The
Port Adelaide Football Club - "the Magpies" is one of South Australia's most successful Australian Rules Football clubs in History. Since the club’s first game in1870, the club has gone on to win an Australian record of 36 SANFL premierships including six in a row and achieve the honour of being Champions of Australia on four occasions It all began back during April 1870 when Messrs. John A. Rann, George Ireland and R.W.J. Leicester met on the North Parade at Port Adelaide and discussed the formation of a sporting social club for the young men of the district, hence the formation of the Port Adelaide Football Club. |
 |
| In
1997 the Port Adelaide Football Club Ltd (Power) was formed and joined the AFL with the Magpies continuing in the SANFL as the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club Inc, with both clubs now sharing the history from 1870 to 1996. |

Object of the game
The object of the game is to outscore the opposition.
(funnily enough, that would be the object of almost every sporting competition).
Teams
Each team consists of eighteen players with an extra four players on the interchange bench.
These interchange players can come on and off at any stage through the match.
Scoring
A goal is scored when a player kicks the ball through the two tallest upright posts.
Six points is given for a goal. If the ball passes either side of the tall posts, a behind is
registered. The total score is the addition of goals and behinds.
For example: 3 goals, 2 behinds =20 points.
Strategy
The ball is bounced in the centre of the ground to commence the game.
The players then try to move the ball towards their goals by either handpassing, which is
holdingthe ball in one hand and punching it with the other hand, or kicking it.
If a player kicks the ball and another player, either his teammate or the opposition catches it
(called a mark) then that player can stop play without fear of being tackled by the opposition.
When a team has the ball within reach of goal, usually 50 metres and closer, they then try to
kick a goal. Unlike AmericanFootball, the game of 'Aussie rules' is conducted at a fast pace
with minimum stoppage.
Game time
A game consists of four quarters of twenty minutes each. Time on is added when a goal is
scoredor a bounce up is conducted.
Rules
Below is a list of some free kicks that are given during the game.
A free kick is awarded to the opposition for the following.
-
Pushing an opponent in the back.
-
Tackling an opponent around the neck.
-
Throwing the ball.
-
Being tackled fairly by your opponent and then dropping the ball.
-
Being tackled by your opponent when you don't have the ball.
-
Kicking the ball out of bounds on the full.
-
Running with the ball for more than 10 metres without bouncing it on the ground
