"Fantastic for Crows/36ers supporters, now we just need the 6ers to play more like the Crows."

We do, lose in finals.

Bizzy, Spoken like a true Port Power choker!

However, after the 36ers last few games rumour has it that Alan Scott is insisting on some teal in the jerseys

Power haha - Been Hawks supporter since forever.

Assumed that if you didn't go Crows, must have gone Power. Sorry Bizzy, you must be a Victorian? or a Tasmanian hpoing for the VFL team to relocate to the isle?

either way, as a neutral in afl support, its a big plus, to draw on the crows offield success with there continuing dominance in memberships (1 2008) and offield profit (no.1, with no afl assistance funding like the vfl based sides)

good union, should lead to better publicity and exposure, now all we need is a 36ers team to play with some greater intensity

Jack - South Aussie through and through, but went for the Hawks prior to the Crows inception, so if I had to pick an SA team it would be Crows though.

Jack Toft, come on man you don't just accuse someone of being a Power supporter like that. That's about as big a slur you can say these days.

Anon, "Needed this alliance when both were achieving, not when both are in decline in crowds and support. Too little , too late."
Are we talking about the same Crows? You mean the ones who have the most members in the AFL?

I find it kinda funny that the Power have a partnership with the Thunderbirds (netball) and now the Crows are with the 6ers. Very appropriate.

both unions, netball and bball, have nothing but upsides regardless of your AFL prefernces, ppl need to look past that and see the REAL benifits

I wouldn't mind the 6ers being as successful as the Crows. Its been a while since we've made the finals, and based on the way the season is heading, a first round finals exit sounds pretty good right now!

Someone tell anon that there isn't ACTUALLY a spoon made of wood that the bottom club wins from the AFL.

Is that what Port were going for this year? unlucky.

If I were a player, I'd want to be playing with the Power.. but as a supporter, surely you'd rather be aligned to the 6ers.

"i can see no downsides at all."

I certainly can see downsides, i do not wish to be associated with the crows in any way.

I support the adelaide 36ers and Port Power!

Chardonnay sipping, johnny come lately football teams who are more about profit and business than sport are not welcome at my Basketball club!

Hahaha that's what I love most about this new partnership - it pisses off Port supporters :)

"Chardonnay sipping, johnny come lately football teams who are more about profit and business than sport are not welcome at my Basketball club!"

Would you rather a team with feral supporters who are too lazy to get to their team's games when their losing even despite the chance of seeing Brogan or Motlop knock a guy out off the ball when they can't get the ball themselves?

lol I love footy banter. Port should make an NBL team so we could have more of this on Hoops SA :P

Power v Crows basketball game at the dome would be good. Half footy players and half basketball players in each team.. bit of fun like slow down..
