| The Australian Rules football club formerly known as the ], was re-branded as the '''Port Adelaide Magpies''' in 1996 <ref> — about the club from the official website.</ref> after a licence to enter the AFL (Australian Football League) was granted to the club. From that decision, two clubs effectively existed, allowing an AFL entity (PAFC Power), which shares the heritage of its SANFL roots, to play in the AFL competition while the other, (PAMFC), continued the Magpies presence and history in the SANFL. The PAMFC has added on 2 premierships in that time, to take the club's overall tally to 36.<ref> — about the club from the official website.</ref> | |||
| === History === | |||
| The Port Adelaide Football Club was first founded on 20 April 1870, and played its first match on 24 May at Buck's Flat in ]{{ref|official}} (in comparison, ] was founded in 1878, and the sport of basketball invented in 1891). Based in the north-western suburbs of Adelaide, its traditional supporter base is among the working-class residents of ] and its surrounding areas; a strong rivalry naturally ensued with clubs of the wealthier suburbs such as ] and ]. | |||
| In 1877, Port Adelaide was a founding member of the South Australian Football Association (later renamed the SANFL); it won its first premiership in 1884. Its colours and mascot changed several times in the early years; shortly after the turn of the century, it had settled on a distinctive "prison bar" strip in black and white, with the nickname "the ]s". Its 1914 team went through the season undefeated, and then defeated ] champions ] in a match mooted as deciding that year's "Champions of Australia".{{ref|champions}} In the 1950s under coach ], the club was exceptionally dominant in the league, winning seven premierships, including six in a row.{{ref label|official|1|a}} | |||
| Over the twentieth century, the ]<!-- sic --> became richer than its interstate counterparts, and consequently the quality of its players and play increased. Port Adelaide's dominance of the SANFL led to frequent calls, of varying degrees of seriousness, for it to join the VFL. The latter expanded into ], ] and ] over the 1980s, and after it renamed itself the ] in 1989, Port Adelaide reached an agreement to join.{{ref|1990}} | |||
| The Port Adelaide Football Club, in effect, was a reverse-merger. From one club were created two entities. One to join the AFL, and another to retain and continue in the SANFL. The AFL entity was renamed "Power", wearing black, teal, white, and silver colours. The SANFL entity was re-named as the "Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club". The PAMFC and the PAFC (Power) would therefore be able share the statistical history of the former-PAFC from 1870 to 1996, even though though they are both separate clubs. | |||
| ] was appointed coach of the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club when ] stepped aside mid-season in 1996 to concentrate solely on his job as coach of the Port Adelaide Football Club that had joined the AFL. In keeping with tradition, Steven guided the club to three more premierships (1 in 1996 as the previous PAFC + 2 with the PAMFC) before announcing his resignation at the end of the 2003 season. In 2003 Brett Ebert created history by becoming the first son of a Magarey Medallist to also claim the coveted award. | |||
| 2005 saw club legend John Cahill return to coach the Magpies for 1 year, leading the Club to finish in 3rd position and really set the Club up for an exciting and successful future once again. Recruit Jeremy Clayton dominated the competition until a devastating ruptured spleen in the Qualifying Final victory over the Eagles ended his season and meant that he had to watch from his hospital bed as he took out the 2005 Magarey Medal. In 2006 ], who was Cahill’s assistant in 2005, took over the reins as senior coach together with the appointment of Mark Clayton as the new Club Captain. | |||
