Old page wikitext, before the edit (old_wikitext) | 'The villagers of Little Hangleton still called it "the Riddle House," even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there. It stood on a hill overlooking the village, some of its windows boarded, tiles missing from its roof, and ivy spreading unchecked over its face. Once a fine-looking manor, and easily the largest and grandest building for miles around, the Riddle House was now damp, derelict, and unoccupied.
The Little Hangletons all agreed that the old house was "creepy." Half a century ago, something strange and horrible had happened there, something that the older inhabitants of the village still liked to discuss when topics for gossip were scarce. The story had been picked over so many times, and had been embroidered in so many places, that nobody was quite sure what the truth was anymore. Every version of the tale, however, started in the same place: Fifty years before, at daybreak on a fine summer's morning when the Riddle House had still been well kept and impressive, a maid had entered the drawing room to find all three Riddles dead.
The maid had run screaming down the hill into the village and roused as many people as she could.
"Lying there with their eyes wide open! Cold as ice! Still in their dinner things!"
The police were summoned, and the whole of Little Hangleton had seethed with shocked curiosity and ill-disguised excitement. Nobody wasted their breath pretending to feel very sad about the Riddles, for they had been most unpopular. Elderly Mr. and Mrs. Riddle had been rich, snobbish, and rude, and their grown-up son, Tom, had been, if anything, worse. All the villagers cared about was the identity of their murderer - for plainly, three apparently healthy people did not all drop dead of natural causes on the same night.
The Hanged Man, the village pub, did a roaring trade that night; the whole village seemed to have turned out to discuss the murders. They were rewarded for leaving their firesides when the Riddles' cook arrived dramatically in their midst and announced to the suddenly silent pub that a man called Frank Bryce had just been arrested.
"Frank!" cried several people. "Never!"
Frank Bryce was the Riddles' gardener. He lived alone in a run-down cottage on the grounds of the Riddle House. Frank had come back from the war with a very stiff leg and a great dislike of crowds and loud noises, and had been working for the Riddles ever since.
There was a rush to buy the cook drinks and hear more details.
"Always thought he was odd," she told the eagerly listening villagers, after her fourth sherry. "Unfriendly, like. I'm sure if I've offered him a cuppa once, I've offered it a hundred times. Never wanted to mix, he didn't."
"Ah, now," said a woman at the bar, "he had a hard war, Frank. He likes the quiet life. That's no reason to -"
"Who else had a key to the back door, then?" barked the cook. "There's been a spare key hanging in the gardener's cottage far back as I can remember! Nobody forced the door last night! No broken windows! All Frank had to do was creep up to the big house while we was all sleeping..."
The villagers exchanged dark looks.
"I always thought that he had a nasty look about him, right enough," grunted a man at the bar.
"War turned him funny, if you ask me," said the landlord.
"Told you I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Frank, didn't I, Dot?" said an excited woman in the corner.
"Horrible temper," said Dot, nodding fervently. "I remember, when he was a kid..."
By the following morning, hardly anyone in Little Hangleton doubted that Frank Bryce had killed the Riddles.
But over in the neighboring town of Great Hangleton, in the dark and dingy police station, Frank was stubbornly repeating, again and again, that he was innocent, and that the only person he had seen near the house on the day of the Riddles' deaths had been a teenage boy, a stranger, dark-haired and pale. Nobody else in the village had seen any such boy, and the police were quite sure Frank had invented him.
Then, just when things were looking very serious for Frank, the report on the Riddles' bodies came back and changed everything.
The police had never read an odder report. A team of doctors had examined the bodies and had concluded that none of the Riddles had been poisoned, stabbed, shot, strangles, suffocated, or (as far as they could tell) harmed at all. In fact (the report continued, in a tone of unmistakable bewilderment), the Riddles all appeared to be in perfect health - apart from the fact that they were all dead. The doctors did note (as though determined to find something wrong with the bodies) that each of the Riddles had a look of terror upon his or her face - but as the frustrated police said, whoever heard of three people being frightened to death?
As there was no proof that the Riddles had been murdered at all, the police were forced to let Frank go. The Riddles were buried in the Little Hangleton churchyard, and their graves remained objects of curiosity for a while. To everyone's surprise, and amid a cloud of suspicion, Frank Bryce returned to his cottage on the grounds of the Riddle House.
"As far as I'm concerned, he killed them, and I don't care what the police say," said Dot in the Hanged Man. "And if he had any decency, he'd leave here, knowing as how we knows he did it."
But Frank did not leave. He stayed to tend the garden for the next family who lived in the Riddle House, and then the next - for neither family stayed long. Perhaps it was partly because of Frank that the new owners said there was a nasty feeling about the place, which, in the absence of inhabitants, started to fall into disrepair.
The wealthy man who owned the Riddle House these days neither lived there nor put it to any use; they said in the village that he kept it for "tax reasons," though nobody was very clear what these might be. The wealthy owner continued to pay Frank to do the gardening, however. Frank was nearing his seventy-seventh birthday now, very deaf, his bad leg stiffer than ever, but could be seen pottering around the flower beds in fine weather, even though the weeds were starting to creep up on him, try as he might to suppress them.
Weeds were not the only things Frank had to contend with either. Boys from the village made a habit of throwing stones through the windows of the Riddle House. They rode their bicycles over the lawns Frank worked so hard to keep smooth. Once or twice, they broke into the old house for a dare. They knew that old Frank's devotion to the house and the grounds amounted almost to an obsession, and it amused them to see him limping across the garden, brandishing his stick and yelling croakily at them. Frank, for his part, believed the boys tormented him because they, like their parents and grandparents, though him a murderer. So when Frank awoke one night in August and saw something very odd up at the old house, he merely assumed that the boys had gone one step further in their attempts to punish him.
It was Frank's bad leg that woke him; it was paining him worse than ever in his old age. He got up and limped downstairs into the kitchen with the idea of refilling his hot-water bottle to ease the stiffness in his knee. Standing at the sink, filling the kettle, he looked up at the Riddle House and saw lights glimmering in its upper windows. Frank knew at once what was going on. The boys had broken into the house again, and judging by the flickering quality of the light, they had started a fire.
Frank had no telephone, in any case, he had deeply mistrusted the police ever since they had taken him in for questioning about the Riddles' deaths. He put down the kettle at once, hurried back upstairs as fast as his bad leg would allow, and was soon back in his kitchen, fully dressed and removing a rusty old key from its hook by the door. He picked up his walking stick, which was propped against the wall, and set off into the night.
The front door of the Riddle House bore no sign of being forced, nor did any of the windows. Frank limped around to the back of the house until he reached a door almost completely hidden by ivy, took out the old key, put it into the lock, and opened the door noiselessly.
He let himself into the cavernous kitchen. Frank had not entered it for many years; nevertheless, although it was very dark, he remembered where the door into the hall was, and he groped his way towards it, his nostrils full of the smell of decay, ears pricked for any sound of footsteps or voices from overhead. He reached the hall, which was a little lighter owing to the large mullioned windows on either side of the front door, and started to climb the stairs, blessing the dust that lay thick upon the stone, because it muffled the sound of his feet and stick.
On the landing, Frank turned right, and saw at once where the intruders were: At the every end of the passage a door stood ajar, and a flickering light shone through the gap, casting a long sliver of gold across the black floor. Frank edged closer and closer, he was able to see a narrow slice of the room beyond.
The fire, he now saw, had been lit in the grate. This surprised him. Then he stopped moving and listened intently, for a man's voice spoke within the room; it sounded timid and fearful.
"There is a little more in the bottle, My Lord, if you are still hungry."
"Later," said a second voice. This too belonged to a man - but it was strangely high-pitched, and cold as a sudden blast of icy wind. Something about that voice made the sparse hairs on the back of Frank's neck stand up. "Move me closer to the fire, Wormtail."
Frank turned his right ear toward the door, the better to hear. There came the clink of a bottle being put down upon some hard surface, and then the dull scraping noise of a heavy chair being dragged across the floor. Frank caught a glimpse of a small man, his back to the door, pushing the chair into place. He was wearing a long black cloak, and there was a bald patch at the back of his head. Then he went out of sight again.
"Where is Nagini?" said the cold voice.
"I - I don't know, My Lord," said the first voice nervously. "She set out to explore the house, I think..."
"You will milk her before we retire, Wormtail," said the second voice. "I will need feeding in the night. The journey has tired me greatly."
Brow furrowed, Frank inclined his good ear still closer to the door, listening very hard. There was a pause, and then the man called Wormtail spoke again.
"My Lord, may I ask how long we are going to stay here?"
"A week," said the cold voice. "Perhaps longer. The place is moderately comfortable, and the plan cannot proceed yet. It would be foolish to act before the Quidditch World Cup is over."
Frank inserted a gnarled finger into his ear and rotated it. Owing, no doubt, to a buildup of earwax, he had heard the word "Quidditch," which was not a word at all.
"The - the Quidditch World Cup, My Lord?" said Wormtail. (Frank dug his finger still more vigorously into his ear.) "Forgive me, but - I do not understand - why should we wait until the World Cup is over?"
"Because, fool, at this very moment wizards are pouring into the country from all over the world, and every meddler from the Ministry of Magic will be on duty, on the watch for signs of unusual activity, checking and double-checking identities. They will be obsessed with security, lest the Muggles notice anything. So we wait."
Frank stopped trying to clear out his ear. He had distinctly heard the words "Ministry of Magic," "wizards," and "Muggles." Plainly, each of these expressions meant something secret, and Frank could think of only two sorts of people who would speak in code: spies and criminals. Frank tightened his hold on his walking stick once more, and listened more closely still.
"Your Lordship is still determined, then?" Wormtail said quietly.
"Certainly I am determined, Wormtail." There was a note of menace in the cold voice now.
A slight pause followed - and the Wormtail spoke, the words tumbling from him in a rush, as though he was forcing himself to say this before he lost his nerve.
"It could be done without Harry Potter, My Lord."
Another pause, more protracted, and then -
"Without Harry Potter?" breathed the second voice softly. "I see..."
"My Lord, I do not say this out of concern for the boy!" said Wormtail, his voice rising squeakily. "The boy is nothing to me, nothing at all! It is merely that if we were to use another witch or wizard - any wizard - the thing could be done so much more quickly! If you allowed me to leave you for a short while - you know that I can disguise myself most effectively - I could be back here in as little as two days with a suitable person -"
"I could use another wizard," said the cold voice softly, "that is true..."
"My Lord, it makes sense," said Wormtail, sounding thoroughly relieved now. "Laying hands on Harry Potter would be so difficult, he is so well protected -"
"And so you volunteer to go and fetch me a substitute? I wonder...perhaps the task of nursing me has become wearisome for you, Wormtail? Could this suggestion of abandoning the plan be nothing more than an attempt to desert me?"
"My Lord! I - I have no wish to leave you, none at all -"
"Do not lie to me!" hissed the second voice. "I can always tell, Wormtail! You are regretting that you ever returned to me. I revolt you. I see you flinch when you look at me, feel you shudder when you touch me..."
"No! My devotion to Your Lordship -"
"Your devotion is nothing more than cowardice. You would not be here if you had anywhere else to go. How am I to survive without you, when I need feeding every few hours? Who is to milk Nagini?"
"But you seem so much stronger, My Lord -"
"Liar," breathed the second voice. "I am no stronger, and a few days alone would be enough to rob me of the little health I have regained under your clumsy care. Silence!"
Wormtail, who had been sputtering incoherently, fell silent at once. For a few seconds, Frank could hear nothing but the fire crackling. The second man spoke once more, in a whisper that was almost a hiss.
"I have my reasons for using the boy, as I have already explained to you, and I will use no other. I have waited thirteen years. A few more months will make no difference. As for the protection surrounding the boy, I believe my plan will be effective. All that is needed is a little courage from you, Wormtail - courage you will find, unless you wish to feel the full extent of Lord Voldermort's wrath -"
"My Lord, I must speak!" said Wormtail, panic in his voice now. "All through our journey I have gone over the plan in my head - My Lord, Bertha Jorkin's disappearance will not go unnoticed for long, and if we proceed, if I murder -"
"If?" whispered the second voice. "If? If you follow the plan, Wormtail, the Ministry need never know that anyone else has died. You will do it quietly and without fuss; I only wish that I could do it myself, but in my present condition...Come, Wormtail, one more death and our path to Harry Potter is clear. I am not asking you to do it alone. By that time, my faithful servant will have rejoined us -"
"I am a faithful servant," said Wormtail, the merest trace of sullenness in his voice.
"Wormtail, I need somebody with brains, somebody whose loyalty has never wavered, and you, unfortunately, fulfill neither requirement."
"I found you," said Wormtail, and there was definitely a sulky edge to his voice now. "I was the one who found you. I brought you Bertha Jorkins."
"That is true," said the second man, sounding amused. "A stroke of brilliance I would not have thought possible from you, Wormtail - though, if truth be told, you were not aware how useful she would be when you caught her, were you?"
"I - I thought she might be useful, My Lord -"
"Liar," said the second voice again, the cruel amusement more pronounced than ever. "However, I do not deny that her information was invaluable. Without it, I could never have formed our plan, and for that, you will have your reward, Wormtail. I will allow you to perform an essential task for me, one that many of my followers would give their right hands to perform..."
"R-really, My Lord? What -?" Wormtail sounded terrified again.
"Ah, Wormtail, you don't want me to spoil the surprise? Your part will come at the very end...but I promise you, you will have the honor of being just as useful as Bertha Jorkins."
"You...you..." Wormtail's voice suddenly sounded hoarse, as though his mouth had gone very dry. "You...are going...to kill me too?"
"Wormtail, Wormtail," said the cold voice silkily, "why would I kill you? I killed Bertha because I had to. She was fit for nothing after my questioning, quite useless. In any case, awkward questions would have been asked if she had gone back to the Ministry with the news that she had met you on her holidays. Wizards who are supposed to be dead would do well not to run into Ministry of Magic witches at wayside inns..."
Wormtail muttered something so quietly that Frank could not hear it, but it made the second man laugh - an entirely mirthless laugh, cold as his speech.
"We could have modified her memory? But Memory Charms can be broken by a powerful wizard, as I proved when I questioned her. It would be an insult to her memory not to use the information I extracted from her, Wormtail."
Out in the corridor, Frank suddenly became aware that the hand gripping his walking stick was slippery with sweat. The man with the cold voice had killed a woman. He was talking about it without any kind of remorse - with amusement. He was dangerous - a madman. And he was planning more murders - this boy, Harry Potter, whoever he was - was in danger -
Frank knew what he must do. Now, if ever, was the time to go to the police. He would creep out of the house and head straight for the telephone box in the village...but the cold voice was speaking again, and Frank remained where he was, frozen to the spot, listening with all his might.
"One more murder...my faithful servant at Hogwarts...Harry Potter is as good as mine, Wormtail. It is decided. There will be no more argument. But quiet...I think I hear Nagini..."
And the second man's voice changed. He started making noises such as Frank had never heard before; he was hissing and spitting without drawing breath. Frank thought he must be having some sort of fit or seizure.
And then Frank heard movement behind him in the dark passageway. He turned to look, and found himself paralyzed with fright.
Something was slithering toward him along the dark corridor floor, and as it drew nearer to the sliver of firelight, he realized with a thrill of terror that it was a gigantic snake, at least twelve feet long. Horrified, transfixed, Frank stared as its undulating body cut a wide, curving track through the thick dust on the floor, coming closer and closer - What was he to do? The only means of escape was into the room where the two men sat plotting murder, yet if he stayed where he was the snake would surely kill him -
But before he had made his decision, the snake was level with him, and then, incredibly, miraculously, it was passing; it was following the spitting, hissing noises made by the cold voice beyond the door, and in seconds, the tip of its diamond-patterned tail had vanished through the gap.
There was sweat on Frank's forehead now, and the hand on the walking stick was trembling. Inside the room, the cold voice was continuing to hiss, and Frank was visited by a strange idea, an impossible idea...This man could talk to snakes.
Frank didn't understand what was going on. He wanted more than anything to be back in his bed with his hot-water bottle. The problem was that his legs didn't seem to want to move. As he stood there shaking and trying to master himself, the cold voice switched abruptly to English again.
"Nagini has interesting news, Wormtail," it said.
"In-indeed, My Lord?" said Wormtail.
"Indeed, yes," said the voice, "According to Nagini, there is an old Muggle standing right outside this room, listening to every word we say."
Frank didn't have a chance to hide himself. There were footsteps and then the door of the room was flung wide open.
A short, balding man with graying hair, a pointed nose, and small, watery eyes stood before Frank, a mixture of fear and alarm in his face.
"Invite him inside, Wormtail. Where are your manners?"
The cold voice was coming from the ancient armchair before the fire, but Frank couldn't see the speaker. the snake, on the other hand, was curled up on the rotting hearth rug, like some horrible travesty of a pet dog.
Wormtail beckoned Frank into the room. Though still deeply shaken, Frank took a firmer grip on his walking stick and limped over the threshold.
The fire was the only source of light in the room; it cast long, spidery shadows upon the walls. Frank stared at the back of the armchair; the man inside it seemed to be even smaller than his servant, for Frank couldn't even see the back of his head.
"You heard everything, Muggle?" said the cold voice.
"What's that you're calling me?" said Frank defiantly, for now that he was inside the room, now that the time had come for some sort of action, he felt braver; it had always been so in the war.
"I am calling you a Muggle," said the voice coolly. "It means that you are not a wizard."
"I don't know what you mean by wizard," said Frank, his voice growing steadier. "All I know is I've heard enough to interest the police tonight, I have. You've done murder and you're planning more! And I'll tell you this too," he added, on a sudden inspiration, "my wife knows I'm up here, and if I don't come back -"
"You have no wife," said the cold voice, very quietly. "Nobody knows you are here. You told nobody that you were coming. Do not lie to Lord Voldemort, Muggle, for he knows...he always knows..."
"Is that right?" said Frank roughly. "Lord, is it? Well, I don't think much of your manners, My Lord. Turn 'round and face me like a man, why don't you?"
"But I am not a man, Muggle," said the cold voice, barely audible now over the crackling of the flames. "I am much, much more than a man. However...why not? I will face you...Wormtail, come turn my chair around."
The servant gave a whimper.
"You heard me, Wormtail."
Slowly, with his face screwed up, as though he would rather have done anything than approach his master and the hearth rug where the snake lay, the small man walked forward and began to turn the chair. The snake lifted its ugly triangular head and hissed slightly as the legs of the chair snagged on its rug.
And then the chair was facing Frank, and he saw what was sitting in it. His walking stick fell to the floor with a clatter. He opened his mouth and let out a scream. He was screaming so loudly that he never heard the words the thing in the chair spoke as it raised a wand. There was a flash of green light, a rushing sound, and Frank Bryce crumpled. He was dead before he hit the floor.
Two hundred miles away, the boy called Harry Potter woke with a start.' |

===1870–1876: Formation years===
By the late 1860s [[Port Adelaide]]'s [[Port River|river]] traffic was growing significantly causing John Rann, Mr. Leicester and Mr. Ireland to form a sporting club to benefit local wharf workers.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Port Adelaide Football Club - Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%2520Adelaide/9|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The Port Adelaide Football Club was established on 12 May 1870 as part of a joint [[Australian rules football|Australian football]] and [[cricket]] club with the first training session taking place two days later.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article39203522|title = The wheat statistics.|newspaper = [[South Australian Register]]|location = Adelaide, SA|date = 13 May 1870|accessdate = 29 March 2015|page = 5|publisher = National Library of Australia}}</ref> It played its first match against a team called the "Young Australians" on 24 May 1870 at inaugural club president [[John Hart, Jr.|John Hart]]'s family property in [[Glanville, South Australia|Glanville]]. Football in [[South Australia]] at this stage was yet to be organised by a single body and as a result there were several sets of rules in use across the state.
===1877–1889: SAFA foundation, Alberton Oval and Australia's first grand final===
In [[1877 SAFA season|1877]] Port Adelaide joined seven other clubs to form the [[South Australian National Football League|South Australian Football Association]] (SAFA), the first league of its type in Australia.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.sahistorians.org.au/175/chronology/april/30-april-1877-south-australian-football-associatio.shtml|title = The South Australian Football Story|date = 1983|accessdate = 2 May 2015|website = SA 175|publisher = professional historians association (south australia)|last = Whimpress|first = Bernard}}</ref> It competed its first few seasons wearing magenta guernseys and white shorts.<ref>{{Cite book|title = 1877 South Australian Football Season Records and Statistics|last = Gyss|first = Trevor|publisher = |year = 2010|isbn = 1445782928|location = |page = 31}}</ref> In [[1878 SAFA season|1878]] the club hosted its first game against the recently established [[Norwood Football Club]] with the visitors winning 1-0. A rivalry between these clubs would soon develop into one of the fiercest in Australian sport (See [[Port Adelaide–Norwood SANFL rivalry|Port Adelaide-Norwood SANFL rivalry]]).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article73070391 |title=FOOTBALL. |newspaper=[[The South Australian Advertiser]] |location=Adelaide |date=18 June 1878 |accessdate=2 May 2015 |page=7 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref>

In 1880 the club moved to [[Alberton Oval]]. In 1881 the club played an interstate team for the first time against [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton]] at Adelaide Oval. Later that year the club travelled to Victoria and played its first game outside South Australia against [[Sale Football Club|Sale]].<ref>{{cite web|title = 10 things you probably don’t know about the Port Adelaide Football Club… – portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2015-05-12/port-adelaide-turns-145|accessdate = 2015-05-29}}</ref> During the [[1882 SAFA season|1882 season]] Port Adelaide overcame Norwood for the first time after nine previous attempts winning by 1 goal at [[Adelaide Oval]]. In 1884 Port Adelaide won its first SAFA premiership, ending Norwood's run of six premierships. On 25 May 1885, Port Adelaide played its first game at the [[MCG]] against [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]], drawing with the eventual VFA premiers in front of 10,000 spectators.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article6080331 |title=Sporting Intelligence |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]] |location=Melbourne |date=25 May 1885 |accessdate=22 November 2014 |page=9 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref>
In 1887 immense interest led into the Round 8 meeting against Norwood as the previous two matches between the clubs resulted in draws. Norwood won in front of a then-record 11,000 spectators at Adelaide Oval.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article37175326 |title=FOOTBALL. |newspaper=[[The South Australian Advertiser]] |location=Adelaide |date=21 June 1887 |accessdate=14 January 2015 |page=7 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref> During 1889 the club played against the [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] at [[Punt Road]], with Port prevailing by a goal.<ref>{{Cite web|title = First of firsts: Port Adelaide v Richmond 1889 - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2014-09-03/first-of-firsts-port-adelaide-v-richmond-1889|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The [[1889 SAFA season]] ended with Port Adelaide and Norwood equal top, leading to the staging of [[1889 SAFA Grand Final|Australia's first grand final]].

In 1890 Port Adelaide won its second SAFA premiership and would go on to be crowned "[[1890 Championship of Australia|Champions of Australia]]" for the first time after defeating [[Victorian Football League|VFA]] premiers [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]]. During the 1890s Australia was affected by a severe depression and many players were forced to move interstate to find work translating into poor on field results. By 1896, the club was in crisis and finished last causing the clubs committee to meet with the aim of revitalising the club. Historian John Devaney suggested that there was a "conscious and deliberate cultivation by both the committee and the team's on field leaders of a revitalised club spirit, whereby playing for Port Adelaide became a genuine source of pride".<ref>{{cite web|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%20Adelaide/9|title = Port Adelaide|date = |accessdate = 14 May 2015|website = Australian Football|publisher = |last = Devaney|first = John}}</ref> It had immediate results and in 1897 Port Adelaide won a [[1897 SAFA season|third premiership]] finishing the season with a record of 14-2-1 with a scoring record two and a half times its conceded total. This is one of only four occurrences since 1877 that the team that finished last won a premiership the following year. [[Stan Malin]] won Port Adelaide's first [[Magarey Medal]] in 1899.
During the 19th century the club had nicknames including the Cockledivers, the Seaside Men, the Seasiders and the Magentas. In 1900, Port finished bottom in the six-team competition, which it has not done in any senior league since.

In 1902, Port Adelaide took the field in black and white guernseys for the first time after it was having trouble finding dyes that would last for its blue and magenta guernseys.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article162353382 |title=FOOTBALL. |newspaper=[[Adelaide Observer]] |date=26 April 1902 |accessdate=28 December 2014 |page=20 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref> The first year in the new guernsey would be a controversial year for the club.

During the early stages of the 1907 season, Port Adelaide travelled to Sydney to play a combination of the cities best players. The game was marketed as 'Port Adelaide vs. Sydney' with the harbour city side taking the honours 8.9 (57) to 5.14 (44).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article115235416 |title=PORT ADELAIDE v.

Port Adelaide won the SAFL premiership in 1910 defeating [[Sturt Football Club|Sturt]] 8.12 (60) to 5.11 (41) in the Grand Final. The club would go on to defeat Collingwood for the [[1910 Championship of Australia]] title. During the 1910 post season, seeking revenge for their loss the year before, Port Adelaide travelled to Western Australia and beat East Fremantle by 12 points. To conclude the trip Port Adelaide played a combination of some of the [[Western Australian Football League|WAFL]]'s best players and achieved a remarkable victory scoring 6.17 (53) to 6.12 (48), with [[Sampson Hosking]] named best on ground.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Australian Football|url = http://australianfootball.com/articles/view/Port+in+Perth+-+Port+Adelaide's+1910+WA+tour/12|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> Along with beating the premiers from South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia in 1910, Port Adelaide also invited North Broken Hill, the premier team of New South Wales, to a game at Adelaide Oval.

During the 1912 preseason, Port Adelaide travelled to Tasmania and took on a combination of players from various [[Tasmanian Football League]] (TFL) sides.

The [[1914 Port Adelaide Football Club season]] is widely regarded as one of the best in Australian rules football history. It won all its pre season matches, won all fourteen SAFL games by an average margin of 49 points and the 1914 SAFL Grand Final where it held North Adelaide to a single goal for the match 13.15 (93) to 1.8 (14). The club would then meet [[Victorian Football League|VFL]] premiers [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton]] on Adelaide Oval, defeating the Victorian club by 34 points to claim a record fourth Championship of Australia. At the end of 1914 season a combined team from the six other SAFL clubs played Port Adelaide and lost to the subsequently dubbed "Invincibles" by 58 points.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Championship football port adelaide invincible soundly defeat combined league team.|url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article105464625|newspaper = Daily Herald|date = 15 October 1914|access-date = 2015-07-13|page = 5}}</ref> Key players from this team are [[Harold Oliver (Australian footballer)|Harold Oliver]], [[Angelo Congear]] and [[Sampson Hosking]] who all share the unique distinction of playing in three Championships of Australia together as well all taking part in South Australia's first victorious [[1911 Adelaide Carnival|Australian National Football Carnival in 1911]].<ref>{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Angelo Congear - Player Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/players/player/angelo%252Bcongear/43|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref>

After World War I, [[Harold Oliver (Australian footballer)|Harold Oliver]], arguably the state's best player, was close to retiring from league football playing only 1 game in 1919 and 8 in 1920. However keen supporters of the club hoping to replicate its pre-war success raised funds and bought him a motorbike so he could commute from his farm in [[Berri, South Australia|Berri]] for the 1921 season.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Family tree.

In 1922 after playing only 5 league matches for the season his football career came to an end due to commitments regarding his farm and disputes regarding game compensation.

By the late 1930s, the economy and Port Adelaide's form both recovered and after two narrow grand final losses in 1934 and 1935 the club won premierships in 1936, 1937 and 1939.

Just as had happened in 1914, the league was being hit hard by player losses in World War II. Due to a lack of able men the league's eight teams were reduced to four with Port Adelaide merging with nearby West Torrens from 1942 to 1944. The joint club would play in all three Grand Finals during this period, winning the 1942 instalment but losing the 1943 and 1944 editions to the Norwood-North Adelaide combination. Normal competition resumed in 1945. After finishing his military service [[Haydn Bunton Sr.]], now a triple [[Brownlow Medal|Brownlow]] and [[Sandover Medal|Sandover]] medallist, joined the club for his final season.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://australianfootball.com/players/player/haydn%2Bbunton%2Bsnr/5255|title = Haydn Bunton Snr|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = Devaney|first = John}}</ref> However, despite this addition Port Adelaide was unable to regain its pre-war success and played in only one grand final for the rest of the 1940s.

At the end of the 1949, having missed two finals series in a row, the Port Adelaide Football Club had become desperate to improve its on-field performances. The club's committee subsequently sought out a coach that could win the club its next premiership.
Eventually a decision was made which would influence the next 50 years of the Port Adelaide Football Club with [[Fos Williams|Foster Neil Williams]], a brilliant [[Follower (Australian rules football)|rover]] from West Adelaide, being appointed captain-coach of the club. Williams brought to the club a new coaching style based on success at any cost which was succinctly encapsulated in the legendary [[Port Adelaide Football Club#Club creed|club creed]] he eventually wrote in 1962. During his second season as coach in 1951, Williams led Port to their first official premiership (excluding World War II competition) for 9 seasons, defeating North Adelaide by 11 points. At the end of the 1951 season the VFL premiers Geelong visited South Australia to play the local premiers Port Adelaide on Adelaide Oval. Geelong won the match 8.14 (62) to 6.18 (54) in front of 25,000 people.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Bound for Glory|last = Wood|first = John|publisher = Largs Bay Printers|year = 1991|isbn = 0959316213|location = Port Adelaide|page = 46}}</ref> Port Adelaide would make the Grand Final again in 1953 against local rivals West Torrens in what would be the Eagles last appearance before merging with Woodville. West Torrens would disappoint Port Adelaide, winning the 1953 premiership by 7 points.

Port Adelaide's run of disappointment from the 1952 and 1953 seasons would prove to be short lived with the club subsequently going on to win a national record six Grand Finals in a row from 1954 to 1959. The club had a win-loss-draw record of 105-16-1 (86%) over the six-year period. During the 1950s Port Adelaide and [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]], often the premiers of South Australian and Victorian leagues, played exhibition matches at [[Norwood Oval]]. The most notable game was the 1955 match with an estimated crowd of 23,000. The game being a thriller going down to the last 15 seconds with [[Frank 'Bluey' Adams|Frank Adams]] kicking a behind and sealing the game 9.11 (65) to 9.10 (64) in favour of [[Norm Smith]]'s demons.<ref name="demonwiki.org">{{cite web|url = http://demonwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=1955+Exhibition+Match+vs+Port+Adelaide|title = 1955 Exhibition Match vs Port Adelaide|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = |first = }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = http://demonwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=1955+Exhibition+Match+vs+Port+Adelaide|title = 1955 Exhibition Match vs Port Adelaide|date = 30 May 2014|accessdate = 2015-01-20|website = demonwiki.org|publisher = |last = |first = }}</ref> The following year Melbourne was full of praise for their cross border challenger with those in the Demons camp agreeing that "Port Adelaide could take their place in the V.F.L. competition and do themselves credit".<ref>{{Cite book|title = Port Adelaide Football Club Annual Report|last = |first = |publisher = Port Adelaide Football Club|year = 1956|isbn = |location = |page = 6}}</ref>
[[Geof Motley]] took over the captain-coaching role at the club in 1959 when Williams left to take a break from the game. That year the club won the premiership setting a national record of sixth consecutive Grand Final victories. Port Adelaide's hope of winning 7 consecutive premierships was brought to an end in the 1960 preliminary final when Norwood won by 27 points. For the following two seasons Port Adelaide would finish third.

Fos Williams returned in 1962 and Port Adelaide won three of the next four premierships taking his personal tally to nine and the clubs record to 10 of the last 15 premierships. The 1965 premiership, the last that Williams coached, was played in front of 62,543 people, the largest ever crowd at Adelaide Oval. In that game Port Adelaide defeat Sturt by 3 points. After the [[1965 SANFL Grand Final|1965 Grand Final]], Port Adelaide would be frustrated by the dominance of [[Sturt Football Club|Sturt]], which won seven premierships over this period under the leadership of [[Jack Oatey]]. In all, despite playing in 6 of the next 10 grand finals, Port Adelaide would fail to win a premiership until 1977.

One of Port Adelaide's finest players during the Fos Williams era was [[John Cahill (footballer)|John Cahill]]. He eventually became William's [[Mentorship|protégé]] and ultimately took over as coach in 1974. In 1975 a dispute between the [[City of Port Adelaide Enfield|Port Adelaide City Council]] and the SANFL over the use of Alberton Oval forced Port Adelaide to move its home matches to Adelaide Oval for two seasons. In 1976 Cahill would subsequently take Port Adelaide to its first Grand Final under his leadership against Sturt with an official attendance of 66,897, the record for football in South Australia. The actual crowd was estimated at 80,000, much bigger than the official figure as Football Park ran out of tickets early and were forced to shut the gates 90 minutes before the bounce as people were being crushed on entry.<ref name="Norton 2013 28">{{Cite book|title = Port Adelaide Football Club – 2013 Season Guide.|last = Norton|first = Daniel|publisher = Bowden Group|year = 2013|isbn = |location = Adelaide|page = 28}}</ref> Sturt won in an upset by 41 points. In 1977 the dispute regarding Alberton Oval was resolved and the club moved back to its home ground and won that years premiership breaking an 11-year drought which at the time was Port Adelaide longest since competing in an organised football competition.

The [[1980 SANFL season|1980 season]] was Port Adelaide's most dominant since 1914. All SANFL divisions of the club made finals with both the league and reserve sides winning their respective premierships. Russell Ebert won his record 4th [[Magarey Medal]]. [[Tim Evans (footballer)|Tim Evans]] set the then-league goal kicking record of 146 goals in a season. The club provided seven players to the state league team ([[Russell Ebert|Ebert]], [[Tim Evans (footballer)|Evans]], [[Brian Cunningham|Cunningham]], [[Greg Phillips|Phillips]], [[Mark Williams (Australian footballer born 1958)|Williams]], [[Tony Giles|Giles]] and [[Milan Faletic|Faletic]]). The club set a new record for most points scored during the whole season at 3,421 whilst also having the best defence conceding only 1,851 points. Overall Port Adelaide lost 2 games from 24 for the year.
[[Russell Ebert]] became coach in 1983 when Cahill left to coach Collingwood for two seasons. This period saw the club fail to reach the grand final. The period also marked the rise of the VFL as Australia's premier football competition. Many SANFL players were moving to the VFL larger salaries. In 1982 the SANFL, Norwood and [[East Perth Football Club|East Perth]] all approached the VFL in regards to entering the league. All were ignored at the time.<ref name="australianfootball.com">{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Port+Adelaide Football Club - Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%252BAdelaide/9|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> Port Adelaide's report from 1982 showed that the failure of these attempts impacted the understanding of its future.<ref>'Port Adelaide Football Club Inc. Annual Report and Balance Sheet Season 1982', page 11</ref> From this point onwards the club restructured in regards to economics, public relations and on-field performance for an attempt to enter the league. There was genuine feeling that failure to do this would result in the club ceasing to exist in the future.<ref name="australianfootball.com"/> Talk of a side from South Australia entering the VFL was fast tracked in 1987 when a team from Western Australia, the [[West Coast Eagles]], and a team from [[Brisbane]], the [[Brisbane Bears]] joined the VFL. South Australia was left out as the only mainland state without a team.
John Cahill returned as coach for the 1988 season. During that year, one of Fos Williams sons, Anthony, was tragically killed in a building accident. The following day the club played against Norwood and managed to overcome an early deficit to win the emotional charged game. The club would go on to win the 1988 premiership.
In 1989 seven out of ten SANFL clubs were recording losses and the combined income of the SANFL and WAFL had dropped to 40% of that of the VFL.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Revisiting the South Australian license saga of 1991|url = http://www.theroar.com.au/2012/07/16/revisiting-the-south-australian-license-saga-of-1991/|website = The Roar|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> During early 1990 the SANFL decided to wait three years before making any further decision in regards to fielding a South Australian side in the VFL until it could be done without negatively affecting football within the state. Frustrated with lack of progress, Port Adelaide were having secret negotiations in the town of Quorn for entry in 1991.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Stateline South Australia|url = http://www.abc.net.au/stateline/sa/content/2003/s1206851.htm|website = www.abc.net.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> From these discussions Port Adelaide Football Club accepted an invitation from the VFL to join what had now become the AFL. The AFL signed a Heads of Agreement with the club in expectation that Port would enter the competition in 1991, meaning the Port Adelaide Football Club would field two teams, one in the AFL and one in the SANFL.
During the 1990 preseason Port Adelaide played a practice match against the Geelong at Football Park in front of 35,000 spectators with [[Gary Ablett, Sr.|Gary Ablett Snr]] and [[Gavin Wanganeen]] prominent.
When knowledge of Port Adelaide's negotiations to gain an AFL licence were made public, many in the SANFL saw it as an act of treachery. SANFL clubs urged Justice Olssen to make an injunction against the bid, which he agreed to.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Revisiting the South Australian license saga of 1991|url = http://www.theroar.com.au/2012/07/16/revisiting-the-south-australian-license-saga-of-1991/|website = The Roar|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The AFL suggested to the SANFL that if they didn't want Port Adelaide to join the AFL, they could put forward a counter bid to enter a composite South Australian side into the AFL. After legal action from all parties, the AFL finally agreed to accept the SANFL's bid and the [[Adelaide Football Club]] was born.<ref name="Devaney">John P.

A spot had finally opened and it was announced that in 1997, one year later than expected, [[Port Adelaide]] would enter the AFL.
Once an entry date had been confirmed, the Port Adelaide Football Club set about forming a side fit for competition in the AFL. It was announced that existing Port Adelaide coach, John Cahill would make the transition to the AFL and [[Stephen Williams (footballer)|Stephen Williams]] would take over the SANFL coaching role. Cahill then set about forming a group which would form the inaugural squad.

Of the 35 players on Port Adelaide's inaugural AFL list 13 had played for the club before. The AFL's father son rule for the club was set at 200 games for players before 1997. This compared to only 100 for Victorian clubs.

On 29 March 1997, Port Adelaide played its first AFL premiership match against Collingwood at the MCG, suffering a 79-point defeat. Port won its first AFL game in Round 3 against Geelong, and defeated cross town rivals and eventual premiers Adelaide by 11 points in the first [[Showdown (AFL)|Showdown]] in Round 4. At the conclusion of Round 17, the side sat fifth – only one win and percentage off the top spot in what was an unusually close season – but it fell out of the finals after recording only a draw from its final five games. Port Adelaide finished its first season 9th, missing the finals on percentage behind Brisbane. The 1998 season was looking very similar to the previous year as they hovered around ninth position for most of the year and looked like a threat for finals after Round 14; but they lost six of their last eight games to finish in 10th place, with a record of 9 wins, 12 losses and 1 draw.

They were eliminated by eventual premier, North Melbourne, by 44 points in the Qualifying Final. After finishing 14th in 2000, Port Adelaide had a very successful [[2001 AFL season|2001 season]], starting with a maiden pre-season competition victory, defeating the Brisbane Lions. Port Adelaide finished their 2001 home and away season in third place with 16 wins and six losses. The club travelled to Brisbane for the Qualifying Final, losing by 32 points, then lost its home Semi Final against sixth-placed [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] to be eliminated. Port Adelaide started 2002 strongly, winning the pre-season competition for the second time in a row, defeating Richmond by 9 points. The side built on its success and won its first [[McClelland Trophy|AFL minor premiership]] with an 18–4 record. However, they lost to the eventual premiers, the Brisbane Lions, by 56 points in the preliminary final. Port Adelaide continued its minor round dominance in 2003 and again finished top to claim the minor premiership; however like the previous year, Port Adelaide was eliminated in the preliminary final, losing to Collingwood by 44 points.
Port Adelaide opened the 2004 season well with four straight wins, but then won only four of its next eight games. From Rounds 12–17, Port Adelaide turned their fortunes around and had six consecutive wins, and with five rounds remaining were equal top of the ladder with Brisbane, [[St Kilda Football Club|St Kilda]] and Melbourne.
After losing in Round 18 to Essendon, Port Adelaide won its remaining four games – including wins against minor premiership contender Melbourne and cross town rivals Adelaide to claim the minor premiership for the third consecutive year. Port Adelaide easily won its qualifying final against Geelong, earning a home preliminary final. Port Adelaide made it through to its first AFL grand final after defeating St Kilda in a thrilling preliminary final by just six points with Gavin Wanganeen kicking the winning goal with a minute to go.
The following week Port Adelaide faced a highly fancied Brisbane side attempting to win a record-equalling fourth straight AFL premiership. Only one point separated the sides at half time, however late in the third quarter Port Adelaide took the ascendency to lead by 17 points at three-quarter time, and dominated the final term to [[2004 AFL Grand Final|win by 40 points]]: 17.11 (113) to 10.13 (73). [[Byron Pickett]] was awarded with the [[Norm Smith Medal]] after being judged the best player in the match, tallying 20 disposals and kicking three goals.

After a slow start to the 2005 season, Port finished eighth on the ladder, and defeated the Kangaroos by 87 points in the elimination final. In the semi-final, Port faced minor premiers Adelaide and lost by 83 points.

Port Adelaide started their finals campaign against the [[West Coast Eagles]] at Football Park and won by three points. That win gave Port the bye, and they easily defeated the Kangaroos in the preliminary final to win by 87 points. This win delivered Port its second Grand Final berth in four years. However, in the [[2007 AFL Grand Final|grand final]] they were defeated by Geelong by an AFL record margin of 119 points, 24.19 (163) to Port Adelaide's 6.8 (44) in a crowd of 97,302.
The 2008 season was disappointing one for a Port Adelaide side keen to build on its 2007 grand final appearance, dropping to 13th on the ladder and out of the finals. By 2009 Port Adelaide had accumulated a consolidated debt totaling $5.1 million and was unable to pay its players; they had lost $1.4 million the season before. Financial assistance was denied by the league, with AFL Chief Executive [[Andrew Demetriou]] saying that they would have to undergo an intensive application process and work with the [[South Australian National Football League|SANFL]], who owned Port Adelaide's AFL licence.<ref>[http://thepowerfromport.com.au/articles.php?action=view&article_id=6827&lid=6&yr=2009 It's not a snub – AFL still in the wings] TPFP 19 March 2009</ref> On 20 May, Port were handed $2.5 million in debt relief by the SANFL, and on 15 June were handed a $1 million grant by the AFL commission.<ref>[http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/77190/default.aspx Port Adelaide gets $2.5 million SANFL funding] [[Australian Football League|AFL]] 20 May 2009</ref><ref>[http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6038/newsid/78867/default.aspx Power AFL grant] [[Australian Football League|AFL]], 15 June 2009</ref> The SANFL had announced it would not support Port Adelaide in both the AFL and SANFL. Plans for a re-merging the two teams was rejected by the SANFL. Amidst these off-field struggles, the club finished 10th in 2009.

The AFL gave the money to the SANFL with strict conditions that they give Port Adelaide three million dollars a year, for three years.<ref>{{Cite web|title = The official website of the Australian Football League - AFL.com.au|url = http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/122680/default.aspx|website = afl.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> Statistically, 2011 was Port Adelaide's worst season in 141 years, finishing 16th with only three wins from 22 games. Rounds 20 and 21 saw the club lose to {{AFL Col}} and [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] by record margins of 138 and 165 respectively. The 2012 season was marginally better but a loss against {{AFL GWS}} resulted in senior coach [[Matthew Primus]] stepping down. Assistant coach, [[Garry Hocking]], took over for the remaining four games, with a draw in the final round against {{AFL Ric}} the best result.
===2013–present: Ken Hinkley, Adelaide Oval return and independence ===
[[File:Adelaide Oval, 2014.jpg|thumb|250px|In 2014 Port Adelaide returned to Adelaide Oval as its home ground for the first time since 1976]]
On 8 October 2012, [[Ken Hinkley]] was announced as the new senior coach of the club. This marked the first time that the club had appointed someone not associated with the club before since [[Fos Williams]] in 1950. Television personality [[David Koch (television presenter)|David Koch]] was named chairman of the club and numerous board members were replaced. The 2013 preseason also saw [[Travis Boak]] succeed [[Domenic Cassisi]] as the captain of the club.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Boak to lead new era at Port Adelaide|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2013-01-30/boak-becomes-69th-captain|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The club finished the home and away season 7th on the ladder, making it the first time that they had qualified for the finals since 2007. Port travelled to Melbourne to play Collingwood at the MCG in an Elimination final where they won by 24 points; they then lost to Geelong by 16 points the following week.
The 2014 season saw both Port Adelaide and Adelaide move their home ground from Football Park to the redeveloped Adelaide Oval. Port Adelaide signed up a record 55,715 members for the 2014 season and averaged 44,429 at home games, a 65% increase from the previous year. Port Adelaide had its best first half of an AFL season, sitting first with ten wins from eleven matches. They then won only four of their remaining eleven matches to finish fifth on the ladder. They hosted Richmond in the elimination finals, kicking the first seven goals of the game and leading by as much as 87 points before recording a 57-point victory. After defeating {{AFL Fre}} in the semi-finals the club's 2014 season ended with a three-point loss to Hawthorn in the preliminary finals.
With great expectation Port Adelaide started the 2015 season playing all of the year's finalists in the opening 10 rounds and entered the mid-season break with a 5-7 record. The club had a better second half of the year, recording 7-3, but would miss out on finals by one win.
On 11 February 2016, the mens Port Adelaide Football Club merged with the Port Adelaide Women's Football Club.
==SANFL presence post AFL entry==
When the Port Adelaide Football Club entered the AFL, a new state league team was created to fill the void left by the club. The new club was now called the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club as opposed to the original counterpart, the Port Adelaide Football Club, playing in the national competition.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Port+Adelaide+Magpies Football Club - Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%252BAdelaide%252BMagpies/318|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> On 20 August 2010, the "One Port Adelaide Football Club" movement was launched by former player [[Tim Ginever]] to merge the Port Adelaide Football Club and the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club as one club. A website was created that claimed 50,000 signatures were needed for the two entities to merge. On 15 November 2010, all nine SANFL clubs and agreed that the off-field merger between the two clubs would proceed.<ref>[http://onepafc.com.au/ Stop Press! One Club has been approved! See you at Alberton Oval at 11am Tuesday 16 November! #pafc]</ref><ref>[http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/one%20pafc/tabid/16808/default.aspx One PAFC – Official AFL Website of the Port Adelaide Football Club]</ref> On 10 September 2013, Port Adelaide and the SANFL agreed to a model to allow all its AFL-listed players (not selected to play for Port Adelaide in the AFL) to play for the club in the SANFL League competition. From 2015 onward, the club lost its recruiting zones and could no longer field sides in the junior SANFL competition. Port Adelaide subsequently started an Academy team composed of 18- to 22-year-olds.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Statement: Port Adelaide accepts SANFL invitation - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2013-09-10/statement-port-adelaide-accepts-sanfl-invitation|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref>
== Women's teams ==
The Port Adelaide Women's Football Club was founded in 2003 and competes in the [[South Australian Women's Football League]]. In 2016 the club merged with the men's club with the intention of further developing the game among women in the Port Adelaide area and South Australia more generally.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Port Adelaide to field women's team in 2016 with big grassroots committment [sic]- portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2016-02-11/womens-footy-port-adelaide-to-field-female-team-in-2016|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|access-date = 2016-02-19}}</ref>
==Club symbols and identity==
===Guernsey===
The Port Adelaide Football Club won 32 grand finals in the "Wharf Pylon" [[Guernsey (Australian Rules Football)|guernsey]] in addition to the Champions of Australia three times. Due to the fact that AFL club Collingwood were already using the magpie emblem and "Magpies" nickname, Port Adelaide was requested by the AFL to simply find a new nickname and logo to avoid a clash.<ref>h{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article122301794 |title=Premier SA club plans AFL move. |newspaper=[[The Canberra Times]] |date=1 August 1990 |accessdate=18 March 2015 |page=38 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref> However, after the unsuccessful 1990 bid, Collingwood successfully lobbied the AFL to force Port Adelaide to change not only its logo and nickname but also its guernsey and colours. In 1995, a new guernsey was created incorporating teal.
In May 2007 chief executive John James stated that Port Adelaide received more correspondence from its supporters about the heritage guernsey than all other issues and that the club would "fight for its heritage and what is right". Port Adelaide decided not to participate in the 2006 heritage round when the AFL declined the club's 1980s guernsey for its 80s-themed heritage round.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2007-05-01/club-statement-re-heritage-guernsey|title= Club statement re: heritage guernsey|date=1 May 2007}}</ref>
In 2007 the club was waiting for confirmation from the AFL that it could wear its 1970s' "Wharf Pylon" guernsey for a match against the [[Western Bulldogs]] and wanted confirmation it would be able to continue to honour its heritage in any future heritage rounds. On 14 May 2007 the AFL and Port Adelaide reached an agreement whereby the club could wear its traditional guernsey in the heritage round, with the proviso that in future seasons its players can only wear it in home heritage round games and provided that such a game is not against Collingwood.<ref>. [http://portadelaidefc.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArticle/tabid/6038/Default.aspx?newsId=43168 "Port Adelaide to wear Black and White"] from the Official AFL Website of the Port Adelaide Football Club. Retrieved 14 May 2007.</ref> No heritage rounds have been held since this agreement was reached.

I'll say that for a start."|[[Leigh Matthews]] during a discussion regarding Port Adelaide's traditional guernsey during the 2014 Elimination Final.<ref>Leigh Matthews, 2014 AFL Elimination Final – Port Adelaide vs Richmond, Channel 7.</ref>}}
Support for the guernsey remains extremely high with a limited batch of jumpers raising over $400,000 for the club for the one off game against Carlton in 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Port to farewell AAMI in prison bars - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2013-04-23/port-to-farewell-aami-in-prison-bars|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The most recent instance of the club trying to wear its traditional guernsey was in celebration of 100 years since its 1914 Championship of Australia.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/port-adelaide-denied-opportunity-to-wear-heritage-jumper-at-first-friday-night-match-at-adelaide-oval/story-fnia6ojc-1226991287562|title = Port Adelaide denied opportunity to wear heritage jumper at first friday night match at Adelaide Oval|date = July 16, 2014|accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = Rucci|first = Michelangelo}}</ref> The AFL denied the club the right.

===Club songs===
The AFL side's victory song is "Power to Win", written for the club by Quentin Eyers and [[Cold Chisel#Band members|Les Kaczmarek]].
The SANFL side's victory song is "Cheer, Cheer the Black and the White", to the tune of "[[Victory March (fight song)|Notre Dame Victory March]]".
===="Never Tear Us Apart"====
Since March 2014, Port Adelaide has used "[[Never Tear Us Apart]]" by the Australian band [[INXS]] as the club's unofficial anthem leading up to the opening bounce at its new home of Adelaide Oval. The song is used as a reference to the various and unique difficulties the club faced when trying to enter the AFL.
Port Adelaide's use of the song stemmed from a trip the club took to Anfield in November 2012 while they were in England to play an exhibition match against the Western Bulldogs.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref> In light of the very positive reviews given by the club's players towards the Anfield crowd's rendition of "[[You'll Never Walk Alone]]", Matthew Richardson, Port's general manager of marketing and consumer business, along with the club's management, sought to replicate the pre-match experience they experienced at Anfield. At a meeting in mid-2013, the idea of an anthem was raised; a number of various songs were suggested, including "[[Power and the Passion (song)|Power and the Passion]]" by [[Midnight Oil]] and "Power to the People" by [[John Schumann]]. Eventually, "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS was suggested by Port Adelaide's events manager, Tara MacLeod. It was eventually accepted, due to the fact that the song resonated with the club's history.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref>
Initially the song was introduced to coincide with the 60-second countdown before the start of a match, with the music playing over the top of a video montage. The song proved to be a success among the fans, with them adopting the song as well as raising scarves above their heads as the song was being sung.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref> So successful was the song that by June 2014, the club were forced to print club coloured scarves with the words "Never Tear Us Apart" on them that fans would hold aloft and sing in unison prior to the start of matches.
===Home grounds===
On 15 May 1880, Port Adelaide played its first match at Alberton Oval. In 1881 the decision was made by the club to start leasing the oval from the Port Adelaide Council for the sum of 10 shillings a year. Situated at the eastern end of the suburb of Alberton in Adelaide, the playing surface is surrounded by the Allan Scott club headquarters, the Robert B. Quinn MM Stand, the Fos Williams Family Stand, the Port Adelaide Bowling Club and the N.L. Williams Scoreboard. As well as the facilities facing the oval, along Queen Street there is The Port Club and The Port Store.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/alberton%20oval/tabid/8097/default.aspx |title=Alberton Oval – Official AFL website of the Port Adelaide Football Club |publisher=Portadelaidefc.com.au |accessdate=14 June 2010}}</ref>

==Supporters==
The Port Adelaide Football Club has historically drawn its supporter base in and around historical working class [[Port Adelaide]]. However, this support has spread to many coastal locations in Adelaide (from [[Outer Harbor, South Australia|Outer Harbour]] down to [[West Beach, South Australia|West Beach]]), in much of the inner-Western suburbs, throughout the North-Eastern suburbs in [[City of Campbelltown (South Australia)|Campbelltown]] and [[City of Tea Tree Gully|Tea Tree Gully]], in many of the Southern suburbs (such as [[Aberfoyle Park]] and [[Flagstaff Hill, South Australia|Flagstaff Hill]]), as well as throughout the [[Adelaide Hills]] and country South Australia.
After historically being the largest football club in South Australia, Port Adelaide has reemerged as one of the largest sporting organisations in Australia, with over 60,000 members and an average attendance nearing 45,000 in 2015.
===Supporter groups===
Port Adelaide has many [[supporter groups]], with every state or territory containing at least one supporter group. In addition, many country towns within South Australia have their own supporter group, many of which travel to both home and away games.<ref>{{cite web|title = Port Adelaide Supporter Groups - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/supporters/official-supporter-groups|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-07-11}}</ref>

-The villagers of Little Hangleton still called it "the Riddle House," even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there. It stood on a hill overlooking the village, some of its windows boarded, tiles missing from its roof, and ivy spreading unchecked over its face. Once a fine-looking manor, and easily the largest and grandest building for miles around, the Riddle House was now damp, derelict, and unoccupied.

+The '''Port Adelaide Football Club''' is a professional [[Australian rules football]] club based in [[Alberton, South Australia|Alberton]], [[Port Adelaide]], South Australia. The club's senior team plays in the [[Australian Football League]] (AFL) whilst its reserves and development teams compete in the [[South Australian National Football League]] (SANFL).<ref>[http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6038/newsid/105240/default.aspx Update: Power & Magpies Unite – Official AFL Website of the Port Adelaide Football Club]</ref> Port Adelaide is the oldest professional football club in South Australia and the [[List of Australian rules football clubs by date of establishment|5th oldest club in the AFL]].
-The Little Hangletons all agreed that the old house was "creepy." Half a century ago, something strange and horrible had happened there, something that the older inhabitants of the village still liked to discuss when topics for gossip were scarce. The story had been picked over so many times, and had been embroidered in so many places, that nobody was quite sure what the truth was anymore. Every version of the tale, however, started in the same place: Fifty years before, at daybreak on a fine summer's morning when the Riddle House had still been well kept and impressive, a maid had entered the drawing room to find all three Riddles dead.
+Since the club's first game on 24 May 1870, it has won 36 South Australian league premierships, including six in a row. The club also won the [[Champions of Australia]] competition on a record four occasions.<ref>[http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/port_adelaide.htm ''Port Adelaide – Part One: 1870 to 1918''], FullPointsFooty.net</ref><ref>[http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/championship_of_australia.htm ''Club Championship of Australia''], FullPointsFooty.net.</ref> In 1997, the club joined the Australian Football League as the only pre-existing non-Victorian club—and subsequently added the [[2004 AFL Grand Final|2004 AFL Premiership]] to its achievements.
-The maid had run screaming down the hill into the village and roused as many people as she could.

Football in [[South Australia]] at this stage was yet to be organised by a single body and as a result there were several sets of rules in use across the state.
-The police were summoned, and the whole of Little Hangleton had seethed with shocked curiosity and ill-disguised excitement. Nobody wasted their breath pretending to feel very sad about the Riddles, for they had been most unpopular. Elderly Mr. and Mrs. Riddle had been rich, snobbish, and rude, and their grown-up son, Tom, had been, if anything, worse. All the villagers cared about was the identity of their murderer - for plainly, three apparently healthy people did not all drop dead of natural causes on the same night.

-There was a rush to buy the cook drinks and hear more details.
+In 1890 Port Adelaide won its second SAFA premiership and would go on to be crowned "[[1890 Championship of Australia|Champions of Australia]]" for the first time after defeating [[Victorian Football League|VFA]] premiers [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]]. During the 1890s Australia was affected by a severe depression and many players were forced to move interstate to find work translating into poor on field results. By 1896, the club was in crisis and finished last causing the clubs committee to meet with the aim of revitalising the club. Historian John Devaney suggested that there was a "conscious and deliberate cultivation by both the committee and the team's on field leaders of a revitalised club spirit, whereby playing for Port Adelaide became a genuine source of pride".<ref>{{cite web|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%20Adelaide/9|title = Port Adelaide|date = |accessdate = 14 May 2015|website = Australian Football|publisher = |last = Devaney|first = John}}</ref> It had immediate results and in 1897 Port Adelaide won a [[1897 SAFA season|third premiership]] finishing the season with a record of 14-2-1 with a scoring record two and a half times its conceded total. This is one of only four occurrences since 1877 that the team that finished last won a premiership the following year. [[Stan Malin]] won Port Adelaide's first [[Magarey Medal]] in 1899.
-"Always thought he was odd," she told the eagerly listening villagers, after her fourth sherry. "Unfriendly, like. I'm sure if I've offered him a cuppa once, I've offered it a hundred times. Never wanted to mix, he didn't."
+During the 19th century the club had nicknames including the Cockledivers, the Seaside Men, the Seasiders and the Magentas. In 1900, Port finished bottom in the six-team competition, which it has not done in any senior league since.
-"Ah, now," said a woman at the bar, "he had a hard war, Frank. He likes the quiet life. That's no reason to -"

-"Who else had a key to the back door, then?" barked the cook. "There's been a spare key hanging in the gardener's cottage far back as I can remember! Nobody forced the door last night! No broken windows! All Frank had to do was creep up to the big house while we was all sleeping..."

-"Horrible temper," said Dot, nodding fervently. "I remember, when he was a kid..."
+Just as had happened in 1914, the league was being hit hard by player losses in World War II. Due to a lack of able men the league's eight teams were reduced to four with Port Adelaide merging with nearby West Torrens from 1942 to 1944. The joint club would play in all three Grand Finals during this period, winning the 1942 instalment but losing the 1943 and 1944 editions to the Norwood-North Adelaide combination. Normal competition resumed in 1945. After finishing his military service [[Haydn Bunton Sr.]], now a triple [[Brownlow Medal|Brownlow]] and [[Sandover Medal|Sandover]] medallist, joined the club for his final season.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://australianfootball.com/players/player/haydn%2Bbunton%2Bsnr/5255|title = Haydn Bunton Snr|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = Devaney|first = John}}</ref> However, despite this addition Port Adelaide was unable to regain its pre-war success and played in only one grand final for the rest of the 1940s.
-By the following morning, hardly anyone in Little Hangleton doubted that Frank Bryce had killed the Riddles.
+===1950–1973: Fos Williams era and Jack Oatey rivalry===
+[[File:Fos Williams 1954.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Fos Williams]] coached Port Adelaide to nine premierships, playing in six of them.]]
+At the end of the 1949, having missed two finals series in a row, the Port Adelaide Football Club had become desperate to improve its on-field performances. The club's committee subsequently sought out a coach that could win the club its next premiership.
-But over in the neighboring town of Great Hangleton, in the dark and dingy police station, Frank was stubbornly repeating, again and again, that he was innocent, and that the only person he had seen near the house on the day of the Riddles' deaths had been a teenage boy, a stranger, dark-haired and pale. Nobody else in the village had seen any such boy, and the police were quite sure Frank had invented him.
+Eventually a decision was made which would influence the next 50 years of the Port Adelaide Football Club with [[Fos Williams|Foster Neil Williams]], a brilliant [[Follower (Australian rules football)|rover]] from West Adelaide, being appointed captain-coach of the club. Williams brought to the club a new coaching style based on success at any cost which was succinctly encapsulated in the legendary [[Port Adelaide Football Club#Club creed|club creed]] he eventually wrote in 1962. During his second season as coach in 1951, Williams led Port to their first official premiership (excluding World War II competition) for 9 seasons, defeating North Adelaide by 11 points. At the end of the 1951 season the VFL premiers Geelong visited South Australia to play the local premiers Port Adelaide on Adelaide Oval. Geelong won the match 8.14 (62) to 6.18 (54) in front of 25,000 people.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Bound for Glory|last = Wood|first = John|publisher = Largs Bay Printers|year = 1991|isbn = 0959316213|location = Port Adelaide|page = 46}}</ref> Port Adelaide would make the Grand Final again in 1953 against local rivals West Torrens in what would be the Eagles last appearance before merging with Woodville. West Torrens would disappoint Port Adelaide, winning the 1953 premiership by 7 points.

+Port Adelaide's run of disappointment from the 1952 and 1953 seasons would prove to be short lived with the club subsequently going on to win a national record six Grand Finals in a row from 1954 to 1959. The club had a win-loss-draw record of 105-16-1 (86%) over the six-year period. During the 1950s Port Adelaide and [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]], often the premiers of South Australian and Victorian leagues, played exhibition matches at [[Norwood Oval]]. The most notable game was the 1955 match with an estimated crowd of 23,000.

-Then, just when things were looking very serious for Frank, the report on the Riddles' bodies came back and changed everything.
+[[Geof Motley]] took over the captain-coaching role at the club in 1959 when Williams left to take a break from the game. That year the club won the premiership setting a national record of sixth consecutive Grand Final victories. Port Adelaide's hope of winning 7 consecutive premierships was brought to an end in the 1960 preliminary final when Norwood won by 27 points. For the following two seasons Port Adelaide would finish third.

+Fos Williams returned in 1962 and Port Adelaide won three of the next four premierships taking his personal tally to nine and the clubs record to 10 of the last 15 premierships. The 1965 premiership, the last that Williams coached, was played in front of 62,543 people, the largest ever crowd at Adelaide Oval. In that game Port Adelaide defeat Sturt by 3 points. After the [[1965 SANFL Grand Final|1965 Grand Final]], Port Adelaide would be frustrated by the dominance of [[Sturt Football Club|Sturt]], which won seven premierships over this period under the leadership of [[Jack Oatey]]. In all, despite playing in 6 of the next 10 grand finals, Port Adelaide would fail to win a premiership until 1977.
-The police had never read an odder report. A team of doctors had examined the bodies and had concluded that none of the Riddles had been poisoned, stabbed, shot, strangles, suffocated, or (as far as they could tell) harmed at all. In fact (the report continued, in a tone of unmistakable bewilderment), the Riddles all appeared to be in perfect health - apart from the fact that they were all dead. The doctors did note (as though determined to find something wrong with the bodies) that each of the Riddles had a look of terror upon his or her face - but as the frustrated police said, whoever heard of three people being frightened to death?

-As there was no proof that the Riddles had been murdered at all, the police were forced to let Frank go. The Riddles were buried in the Little Hangleton churchyard, and their graves remained objects of curiosity for a while. To everyone's surprise, and amid a cloud of suspicion, Frank Bryce returned to his cottage on the grounds of the Riddle House.
+One of Port Adelaide's finest players during the Fos Williams era was [[John Cahill (footballer)|John Cahill]]. He eventually became William's [[Mentorship|protégé]] and ultimately took over as coach in 1974. In 1975 a dispute between the [[City of Port Adelaide Enfield|Port Adelaide City Council]] and the SANFL over the use of Alberton Oval forced Port Adelaide to move its home matches to Adelaide Oval for two seasons. In 1976 Cahill would subsequently take Port Adelaide to its first Grand Final under his leadership against Sturt with an official attendance of 66,897, the record for football in South Australia. The actual crowd was estimated at 80,000, much bigger than the official figure as Football Park ran out of tickets early and were forced to shut the gates 90 minutes before the bounce as people were being crushed on entry.<ref name="Norton 2013 28">{{Cite book|title = Port Adelaide Football Club – 2013 Season Guide.|last = Norton|first = Daniel|publisher = Bowden Group|year = 2013|isbn = |location = Adelaide|page = 28}}</ref> Sturt won in an upset by 41 points. In 1977 the dispute regarding Alberton Oval was resolved and the club moved back to its home ground and won that years premiership breaking an 11-year drought which at the time was Port Adelaide longest since competing in an organised football competition.
-"As far as I'm concerned, he killed them, and I don't care what the police say," said Dot in the Hanged Man. "And if he had any decency, he'd leave here, knowing as how we knows he did it."

-But Frank did not leave. He stayed to tend the garden for the next family who lived in the Riddle House, and then the next - for neither family stayed long. Perhaps it was partly because of Frank that the new owners said there was a nasty feeling about the place, which, in the absence of inhabitants, started to fall into disrepair.
+The [[1980 SANFL season|1980 season]] was Port Adelaide's most dominant since 1914. All SANFL divisions of the club made finals with both the league and reserve sides winning their respective premierships. Russell Ebert won his record 4th [[Magarey Medal]]. [[Tim Evans (footballer)|Tim Evans]] set the then-league goal kicking record of 146 goals in a season. The club provided seven players to the state league team ([[Russell Ebert|Ebert]], [[Tim Evans (footballer)|Evans]], [[Brian Cunningham|Cunningham]], [[Greg Phillips|Phillips]], [[Mark Williams (Australian footballer born 1958)|Williams]], [[Tony Giles|Giles]] and [[Milan Faletic|Faletic]]). The club set a new record for most points scored during the whole season at 3,421 whilst also having the best defence conceding only 1,851 points. Overall Port Adelaide lost 2 games from 24 for the year.
-The wealthy man who owned the Riddle House these days neither lived there nor put it to any use; they said in the village that he kept it for "tax reasons," though nobody was very clear what these might be. The wealthy owner continued to pay Frank to do the gardening, however. Frank was nearing his seventy-seventh birthday now, very deaf, his bad leg stiffer than ever, but could be seen pottering around the flower beds in fine weather, even though the weeds were starting to creep up on him, try as he might to suppress them.
+[[Russell Ebert]] became coach in 1983 when Cahill left to coach Collingwood for two seasons. This period saw the club fail to reach the grand final. The period also marked the rise of the VFL as Australia's premier football competition. Many SANFL players were moving to the VFL larger salaries. In 1982 the SANFL, Norwood and [[East Perth Football Club|East Perth]] all approached the VFL in regards to entering the league. All were ignored at the time.<ref name="australianfootball.com">{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Port+Adelaide Football Club - Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%252BAdelaide/9|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> Port Adelaide's report from 1982 showed that the failure of these attempts impacted the understanding of its future.<ref>'Port Adelaide Football Club Inc. Annual Report and Balance Sheet Season 1982', page 11</ref> From this point onwards the club restructured in regards to economics, public relations and on-field performance for an attempt to enter the league. There was genuine feeling that failure to do this would result in the club ceasing to exist in the future.<ref name="australianfootball.com"/> Talk of a side from South Australia entering the VFL was fast tracked in 1987 when a team from Western Australia, the [[West Coast Eagles]], and a team from [[Brisbane]], the [[Brisbane Bears]] joined the VFL. South Australia was left out as the only mainland state without a team.
-Weeds were not the only things Frank had to contend with either. Boys from the village made a habit of throwing stones through the windows of the Riddle House. They rode their bicycles over the lawns Frank worked so hard to keep smooth. Once or twice, they broke into the old house for a dare. They knew that old Frank's devotion to the house and the grounds amounted almost to an obsession, and it amused them to see him limping across the garden, brandishing his stick and yelling croakily at them. Frank, for his part, believed the boys tormented him because they, like their parents and grandparents, though him a murderer. So when Frank awoke one night in August and saw something very odd up at the old house, he merely assumed that the boys had gone one step further in their attempts to punish him.
+John Cahill returned as coach for the 1988 season. During that year, one of Fos Williams sons, Anthony, was tragically killed in a building accident. The following day the club played against Norwood and managed to overcome an early deficit to win the emotional charged game. The club would go on to win the 1988 premiership.
-It was Frank's bad leg that woke him; it was paining him worse than ever in his old age. He got up and limped downstairs into the kitchen with the idea of refilling his hot-water bottle to ease the stiffness in his knee. Standing at the sink, filling the kettle, he looked up at the Riddle House and saw lights glimmering in its upper windows. Frank knew at once what was going on. The boys had broken into the house again, and judging by the flickering quality of the light, they had started a fire.
+In 1989 seven out of ten SANFL clubs were recording losses and the combined income of the SANFL and WAFL had dropped to 40% of that of the VFL.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Revisiting the South Australian license saga of 1991|url = http://www.theroar.com.au/2012/07/16/revisiting-the-south-australian-license-saga-of-1991/|website = The Roar|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> During early 1990 the SANFL decided to wait three years before making any further decision in regards to fielding a South Australian side in the VFL until it could be done without negatively affecting football within the state. Frustrated with lack of progress, Port Adelaide were having secret negotiations in the town of Quorn for entry in 1991.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Stateline South Australia|url = http://www.abc.net.au/stateline/sa/content/2003/s1206851.htm|website = www.abc.net.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> From these discussions Port Adelaide Football Club accepted an invitation from the VFL to join what had now become the AFL. The AFL signed a Heads of Agreement with the club in expectation that Port would enter the competition in 1991, meaning the Port Adelaide Football Club would field two teams, one in the AFL and one in the SANFL.
+During the 1990 preseason Port Adelaide played a practice match against the Geelong at Football Park in front of 35,000 spectators with [[Gary Ablett, Sr.|Gary Ablett Snr]] and [[Gavin Wanganeen]] prominent.
-Frank had no telephone, in any case, he had deeply mistrusted the police ever since they had taken him in for questioning about the Riddles' deaths. He put down the kettle at once, hurried back upstairs as fast as his bad leg would allow, and was soon back in his kitchen, fully dressed and removing a rusty old key from its hook by the door. He picked up his walking stick, which was propped against the wall, and set off into the night.
+When knowledge of Port Adelaide's negotiations to gain an AFL licence were made public, many in the SANFL saw it as an act of treachery. SANFL clubs urged Justice Olssen to make an injunction against the bid, which he agreed to.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Revisiting the South Australian license saga of 1991|url = http://www.theroar.com.au/2012/07/16/revisiting-the-south-australian-license-saga-of-1991/|website = The Roar|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The AFL suggested to the SANFL that if they didn't want Port Adelaide to join the AFL, they could put forward a counter bid to enter a composite South Australian side into the AFL. After legal action from all parties, the AFL finally agreed to accept the SANFL's bid and the [[Adelaide Football Club]] was born.<ref name="Devaney">John P.

-The front door of the Riddle House bore no sign of being forced, nor did any of the windows. Frank limped around to the back of the house until he reached a door almost completely hidden by ivy, took out the old key, put it into the lock, and opened the door noiselessly.

-He let himself into the cavernous kitchen. Frank had not entered it for many years; nevertheless, although it was very dark, he remembered where the door into the hall was, and he groped his way towards it, his nostrils full of the smell of decay, ears pricked for any sound of footsteps or voices from overhead. He reached the hall, which was a little lighter owing to the large mullioned windows on either side of the front door, and started to climb the stairs, blessing the dust that lay thick upon the stone, because it muffled the sound of his feet and stick.

-On the landing, Frank turned right, and saw at once where the intruders were: At the every end of the passage a door stood ajar, and a flickering light shone through the gap, casting a long sliver of gold across the black floor. Frank edged closer and closer, he was able to see a narrow slice of the room beyond.
+Once an entry date had been confirmed, the Port Adelaide Football Club set about forming a side fit for competition in the AFL.

Of the 35 players on Port Adelaide's inaugural AFL list 13 had played for the club before. The AFL's father son rule for the club was set at 200 games for players before 1997. This compared to only 100 for Victorian clubs.

+On 29 March 1997, Port Adelaide played its first AFL premiership match against Collingwood at the MCG, suffering a 79-point defeat. Port won its first AFL game in Round 3 against Geelong, and defeated cross town rivals and eventual premiers Adelaide by 11 points in the first [[Showdown (AFL)|Showdown]] in Round 4. At the conclusion of Round 17, the side sat fifth – only one win and percentage off the top spot in what was an unusually close season – but it fell out of the finals after recording only a draw from its final five games. Port Adelaide finished its first season 9th, missing the finals on percentage behind Brisbane. The 1998 season was looking very similar to the previous year as they hovered around ninth position for most of the year and looked like a threat for finals after Round 14; but they lost six of their last eight games to finish in 10th place, with a record of 9 wins, 12 losses and 1 draw.

They were eliminated by eventual premier, North Melbourne, by 44 points in the Qualifying Final. After finishing 14th in 2000, Port Adelaide had a very successful [[2001 AFL season|2001 season]], starting with a maiden pre-season competition victory, defeating the Brisbane Lions. Port Adelaide finished their 2001 home and away season in third place with 16 wins and six losses. The club travelled to Brisbane for the Qualifying Final, losing by 32 points, then lost its home Semi Final against sixth-placed [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] to be eliminated. Port Adelaide started 2002 strongly, winning the pre-season competition for the second time in a row, defeating Richmond by 9 points. The side built on its success and won its first [[McClelland Trophy|AFL minor premiership]] with an 18–4 record. However, they lost to the eventual premiers, the Brisbane Lions, by 56 points in the preliminary final. Port Adelaide continued its minor round dominance in 2003 and again finished top to claim the minor premiership; however like the previous year, Port Adelaide was eliminated in the preliminary final, losing to Collingwood by 44 points.
-"There is a little more in the bottle, My Lord, if you are still hungry."
+Port Adelaide opened the 2004 season well with four straight wins, but then won only four of its next eight games. From Rounds 12–17, Port Adelaide turned their fortunes around and had six consecutive wins, and with five rounds remaining were equal top of the ladder with Brisbane, [[St Kilda Football Club|St Kilda]] and Melbourne.
+After losing in Round 18 to Essendon, Port Adelaide won its remaining four games – including wins against minor premiership contender Melbourne and cross town rivals Adelaide to claim the minor premiership for the third consecutive year. Port Adelaide easily won its qualifying final against Geelong, earning a home preliminary final. Port Adelaide made it through to its first AFL grand final after defeating St Kilda in a thrilling preliminary final by just six points with Gavin Wanganeen kicking the winning goal with a minute to go.
-"Later," said a second voice. This too belonged to a man - but it was strangely high-pitched, and cold as a sudden blast of icy wind. Something about that voice made the sparse hairs on the back of Frank's neck stand up. "Move me closer to the fire, Wormtail."
+The following week Port Adelaide faced a highly fancied Brisbane side attempting to win a record-equalling fourth straight AFL premiership. Only one point separated the sides at half time, however late in the third quarter Port Adelaide took the ascendency to lead by 17 points at three-quarter time, and dominated the final term to [[2004 AFL Grand Final|win by 40 points]]: 17.11 (113) to 10.13 (73). [[Byron Pickett]] was awarded with the [[Norm Smith Medal]] after being judged the best player in the match, tallying 20 disposals and kicking three goals.
-Frank turned his right ear toward the door, the better to hear. There came the clink of a bottle being put down upon some hard surface, and then the dull scraping noise of a heavy chair being dragged across the floor. Frank caught a glimpse of a small man, his back to the door, pushing the chair into place. He was wearing a long black cloak, and there was a bald patch at the back of his head. Then he went out of sight again.

-"Where is Nagini?" said the cold voice.
+After a slow start to the 2005 season, Port finished eighth on the ladder, and defeated the Kangaroos by 87 points in the elimination final. In the semi-final, Port faced minor premiers Adelaide and lost by 83 points.

+After missing the finals in 2006 Port Adelaide made a strong recovery in 2007, and with strong performances from midfielders [[Shaun Burgoyne]] and [[Chad Cornes]] and strong debut seasons from [[Justin Westhoff]], [[Robert Gray (Australian rules footballer)|Robert Gray]] and [[Travis Boak]], Port Adelaide finished the minor round second on the ladder with 15-7 record. Port Adelaide started their finals campaign against the [[West Coast Eagles]] at Football Park and won by three points. That win gave Port the bye, and they easily defeated the Kangaroos in the preliminary final to win by 87 points. This win delivered Port its second Grand Final berth in four years. However, in the [[2007 AFL Grand Final|grand final]] they were defeated by Geelong by an AFL record margin of 119 points, 24.19 (163) to Port Adelaide's 6.8 (44) in a crowd of 97,302.
-"I - I don't know, My Lord," said the first voice nervously. "She set out to explore the house, I think..."
+The 2008 season was disappointing one for a Port Adelaide side keen to build on its 2007 grand final appearance, dropping to 13th on the ladder and out of the finals. By 2009 Port Adelaide had accumulated a consolidated debt totaling $5.1 million and was unable to pay its players; they had lost $1.4 million the season before. Financial assistance was denied by the league, with AFL Chief Executive [[Andrew Demetriou]] saying that they would have to undergo an intensive application process and work with the [[South Australian National Football League|SANFL]], who owned Port Adelaide's AFL licence.<ref>[http://thepowerfromport.com.au/articles.php?action=view&article_id=6827&lid=6&yr=2009 It's not a snub – AFL still in the wings] TPFP 19 March 2009</ref> On 20 May, Port were handed $2.5 million in debt relief by the SANFL, and on 15 June were handed a $1 million grant by the AFL commission.<ref>[http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/77190/default.aspx Port Adelaide gets $2.5 million SANFL funding] [[Australian Football League|AFL]] 20 May 2009</ref><ref>[http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6038/newsid/78867/default.aspx Power AFL grant] [[Australian Football League|AFL]], 15 June 2009</ref> The SANFL had announced it would not support Port Adelaide in both the AFL and SANFL. Plans for a re-merging the two teams was rejected by the SANFL. Amidst these off-field struggles, the club finished 10th in 2009. The 2010 season would see [[Mark Williams (Australian footballer born 1958)|Mark Williams]] step down as senior coach marking the end of the Williams era for the club.
-"You will milk her before we retire, Wormtail," said the second voice. "I will need feeding in the night. The journey has tired me greatly."

-Brow furrowed, Frank inclined his good ear still closer to the door, listening very hard. There was a pause, and then the man called Wormtail spoke again.

On 9 September, [[Matthew Primus]] was appointed as the senior coach of the club for the next three years. The SANFL sought to take control of Port Adelaide in 2011. Despite underwriting $5 million of Port's debt in 2010, the takeover failed when the SANFL was unable to get a line of credit to cover Port Adelaide's future debts. The AFL announced it would underwrite $1.25 million in debt to protect its $1.25 billion television rights. AFL Chief executive [[Andrew Demetriou]], offered $9 million over the next three years to help the club, ahead of the move to the [[Adelaide Oval]]. The AFL gave the money to the SANFL with strict conditions that they give Port Adelaide three million dollars a year, for three years.<ref>{{Cite web|title = The official website of the Australian Football League - AFL.com.au|url = http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/122680/default.aspx|website = afl.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> Statistically, 2011 was Port Adelaide's worst season in 141 years, finishing 16th with only three wins from 22 games. Rounds 20 and 21 saw the club lose to {{AFL Col}} and [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] by record margins of 138 and 165 respectively. The 2012 season was marginally better but a loss against {{AFL GWS}} resulted in senior coach [[Matthew Primus]] stepping down. Assistant coach, [[Garry Hocking]], took over for the remaining four games, with a draw in the final round against {{AFL Ric}} the best result.
-"My Lord, may I ask how long we are going to stay here?"
+===2013–present: Ken Hinkley, Adelaide Oval return and independence ===
+[[File:Adelaide Oval, 2014.jpg|thumb|250px|In 2014 Port Adelaide returned to Adelaide Oval as its home ground for the first time since 1976]]
+On 8 October 2012, [[Ken Hinkley]] was announced as the new senior coach of the club. This marked the first time that the club had appointed someone not associated with the club before since [[Fos Williams]] in 1950. Television personality [[David Koch (television presenter)|David Koch]] was named chairman of the club and numerous board members were replaced. The 2013 preseason also saw [[Travis Boak]] succeed [[Domenic Cassisi]] as the captain of the club.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Boak to lead new era at Port Adelaide|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2013-01-30/boak-becomes-69th-captain|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The club finished the home and away season 7th on the ladder, making it the first time that they had qualified for the finals since 2007. Port travelled to Melbourne to play Collingwood at the MCG in an Elimination final where they won by 24 points; they then lost to Geelong by 16 points the following week.
-"A week," said the cold voice. "Perhaps longer. The place is moderately comfortable, and the plan cannot proceed yet. It would be foolish to act before the Quidditch World Cup is over."
+The 2014 season saw both Port Adelaide and Adelaide move their home ground from Football Park to the redeveloped Adelaide Oval. Port Adelaide signed up a record 55,715 members for the 2014 season and averaged 44,429 at home games, a 65% increase from the previous year. Port Adelaide had its best first half of an AFL season, sitting first with ten wins from eleven matches. They then won only four of their remaining eleven matches to finish fifth on the ladder. They hosted Richmond in the elimination finals, kicking the first seven goals of the game and leading by as much as 87 points before recording a 57-point victory. After defeating {{AFL Fre}} in the semi-finals the club's 2014 season ended with a three-point loss to Hawthorn in the preliminary finals.
-Frank inserted a gnarled finger into his ear and rotated it. Owing, no doubt, to a buildup of earwax, he had heard the word "Quidditch," which was not a word at all.
+With great expectation Port Adelaide started the 2015 season playing all of the year's finalists in the opening 10 rounds and entered the mid-season break with a 5-7 record. The club had a better second half of the year, recording 7-3, but would miss out on finals by one win.
-"The - the Quidditch World Cup, My Lord?" said Wormtail. (Frank dug his finger still more vigorously into his ear.) "Forgive me, but - I do not understand - why should we wait until the World Cup is over?"
+On 11 February 2016, the mens Port Adelaide Football Club merged with the Port Adelaide Women's Football Club.
-"Because, fool, at this very moment wizards are pouring into the country from all over the world, and every meddler from the Ministry of Magic will be on duty, on the watch for signs of unusual activity, checking and double-checking identities. They will be obsessed with security, lest the Muggles notice anything. So we wait."
+==SANFL presence post AFL entry==
-Frank stopped trying to clear out his ear. He had distinctly heard the words "Ministry of Magic," "wizards," and "Muggles." Plainly, each of these expressions meant something secret, and Frank could think of only two sorts of people who would speak in code: spies and criminals. Frank tightened his hold on his walking stick once more, and listened more closely still.
+When the Port Adelaide Football Club entered the AFL, a new state league team was created to fill the void left by the club. The new club was now called the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club as opposed to the original counterpart, the Port Adelaide Football Club, playing in the national competition.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Port+Adelaide+Magpies Football Club - Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%252BAdelaide%252BMagpies/318|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> On 20 August 2010, the "One Port Adelaide Football Club" movement was launched by former player [[Tim Ginever]] to merge the Port Adelaide Football Club and the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club as one club. A website was created that claimed 50,000 signatures were needed for the two entities to merge. On 15 November 2010, all nine SANFL clubs and agreed that the off-field merger between the two clubs would proceed.<ref>[http://onepafc.com.au/ Stop Press! One Club has been approved!

From 2015 onward, the club lost its recruiting zones and could no longer field sides in the junior SANFL competition. Port Adelaide subsequently started an Academy team composed of 18- to 22-year-olds.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Statement: Port Adelaide accepts SANFL invitation - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2013-09-10/statement-port-adelaide-accepts-sanfl-invitation|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref>
-"Your Lordship is still determined, then?" Wormtail said quietly.
+== Women's teams ==
+The Port Adelaide Women's Football Club was founded in 2003 and competes in the [[South Australian Women's Football League]]. In 2016 the club merged with the men's club with the intention of further developing the game among women in the Port Adelaide area and South Australia more generally.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Port Adelaide to field women's team in 2016 with big grassroots committment [sic]- portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2016-02-11/womens-footy-port-adelaide-to-field-female-team-in-2016|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|access-date = 2016-02-19}}</ref>
-"Certainly I am determined, Wormtail." There was a note of menace in the cold voice now.
+==Club symbols and identity==
-A slight pause followed - and the Wormtail spoke, the words tumbling from him in a rush, as though he was forcing himself to say this before he lost his nerve.
+===Guernsey===
-"It could be done without Harry Potter, My Lord."
+The Port Adelaide Football Club won 32 grand finals in the "Wharf Pylon" [[Guernsey (Australian Rules Football)|guernsey]] in addition to the Champions of Australia three times. Due to the fact that AFL club Collingwood were already using the magpie emblem and "Magpies" nickname, Port Adelaide was requested by the AFL to simply find a new nickname and logo to avoid a clash.<ref>h{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article122301794 |title=Premier SA club plans AFL move. |newspaper=[[The Canberra Times]] |date=1 August 1990 |accessdate=18 March 2015 |page=38 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref> However, after the unsuccessful 1990 bid, Collingwood successfully lobbied the AFL to force Port Adelaide to change not only its logo and nickname but also its guernsey and colours. In 1995, a new guernsey was created incorporating teal.
-Another pause, more protracted, and then -
+In May 2007 chief executive John James stated that Port Adelaide received more correspondence from its supporters about the heritage guernsey than all other issues and that the club would "fight for its heritage and what is right". Port Adelaide decided not to participate in the 2006 heritage round when the AFL declined the club's 1980s guernsey for its 80s-themed heritage round.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2007-05-01/club-statement-re-heritage-guernsey|title= Club statement re: heritage guernsey|date=1 May 2007}}</ref>
-"Without Harry Potter?" breathed the second voice softly. "I see..."
+In 2007 the club was waiting for confirmation from the AFL that it could wear its 1970s' "Wharf Pylon" guernsey for a match against the [[Western Bulldogs]] and wanted confirmation it would be able to continue to honour its heritage in any future heritage rounds. On 14 May 2007 the AFL and Port Adelaide reached an agreement whereby the club could wear its traditional guernsey in the heritage round, with the proviso that in future seasons its players can only wear it in home heritage round games and provided that such a game is not against Collingwood.<ref>.

Retrieved 14 May 2007.</ref> No heritage rounds have been held since this agreement was reached.
-"My Lord, I do not say this out of concern for the boy!" said Wormtail, his voice rising squeakily. "The boy is nothing to me, nothing at all! It is merely that if we were to use another witch or wizard - any wizard - the thing could be done so much more quickly! If you allowed me to leave you for a short while - you know that I can disguise myself most effectively - I could be back here in as little as two days with a suitable person -"

-"Do not lie to me!" hissed the second voice. "I can always tell, Wormtail! You are regretting that you ever returned to me. I revolt you. I see you flinch when you look at me, feel you shudder when you touch me..."
+===Club songs===
+The AFL side's victory song is "Power to Win", written for the club by Quentin Eyers and [[Cold Chisel#Band members|Les Kaczmarek]].
-"No! My devotion to Your Lordship -"
+The SANFL side's victory song is "Cheer, Cheer the Black and the White", to the tune of "[[Victory March (fight song)|Notre Dame Victory March]]".
-"Your devotion is nothing more than cowardice. You would not be here if you had anywhere else to go. How am I to survive without you, when I need feeding every few hours? Who is to milk Nagini?"
+===="Never Tear Us Apart"====
+Since March 2014, Port Adelaide has used "[[Never Tear Us Apart]]" by the Australian band [[INXS]] as the club's unofficial anthem leading up to the opening bounce at its new home of Adelaide Oval. The song is used as a reference to the various and unique difficulties the club faced when trying to enter the AFL.
-"But you seem so much stronger, My Lord -"
+Port Adelaide's use of the song stemmed from a trip the club took to Anfield in November 2012 while they were in England to play an exhibition match against the Western Bulldogs.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref> In light of the very positive reviews given by the club's players towards the Anfield crowd's rendition of "[[You'll Never Walk Alone]]", Matthew Richardson, Port's general manager of marketing and consumer business, along with the club's management, sought to replicate the pre-match experience they experienced at Anfield. At a meeting in mid-2013, the idea of an anthem was raised; a number of various songs were suggested, including "[[Power and the Passion (song)|Power and the Passion]]" by [[Midnight Oil]] and "Power to the People" by [[John Schumann]]. Eventually, "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS was suggested by Port Adelaide's events manager, Tara MacLeod. It was eventually accepted, due to the fact that the song resonated with the club's history.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref>
-"Liar," breathed the second voice. "I am no stronger, and a few days alone would be enough to rob me of the little health I have regained under your clumsy care. Silence!"
+Initially the song was introduced to coincide with the 60-second countdown before the start of a match, with the music playing over the top of a video montage. The song proved to be a success among the fans, with them adopting the song as well as raising scarves above their heads as the song was being sung.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref> So successful was the song that by June 2014, the club were forced to print club coloured scarves with the words "Never Tear Us Apart" on them that fans would hold aloft and sing in unison prior to the start of matches.
-Wormtail, who had been sputtering incoherently, fell silent at once. For a few seconds, Frank could hear nothing but the fire crackling. The second man spoke once more, in a whisper that was almost a hiss.
+===Home grounds===
-"I have my reasons for using the boy, as I have already explained to you, and I will use no other. I have waited thirteen years. A few more months will make no difference. As for the protection surrounding the boy, I believe my plan will be effective. All that is needed is a little courage from you, Wormtail - courage you will find, unless you wish to feel the full extent of Lord Voldermort's wrath -"
+On 15 May 1880, Port Adelaide played its first match at Alberton Oval. In 1881 the decision was made by the club to start leasing the oval from the Port Adelaide Council for the sum of 10 shillings a year. Situated at the eastern end of the suburb of Alberton in Adelaide, the playing surface is surrounded by the Allan Scott club headquarters, the Robert B. Quinn MM Stand, the Fos Williams Family Stand, the Port Adelaide Bowling Club and the N.L. Williams Scoreboard. As well as the facilities facing the oval, along Queen Street there is The Port Club and The Port Store.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/alberton%20oval/tabid/8097/default.aspx |title=Alberton Oval – Official AFL website of the Port Adelaide Football Club |publisher=Portadelaidefc.com.au |accessdate=14 June 2010}}</ref>
-"My Lord, I must speak!" said Wormtail, panic in his voice now. "All through our journey I have gone over the plan in my head - My Lord, Bertha Jorkin's disappearance will not go unnoticed for long, and if we proceed, if I murder -"

-"If?" whispered the second voice. "If? If you follow the plan, Wormtail, the Ministry need never know that anyone else has died. You will do it quietly and without fuss; I only wish that I could do it myself, but in my present condition...Come, Wormtail, one more death and our path to Harry Potter is clear. I am not asking you to do it alone. By that time, my faithful servant will have rejoined us -"
+===Current playing list===
+{{Port Adelaide Football Club current squad}}
-"I am a faithful servant," said Wormtail, the merest trace of sullenness in his voice.
+{{Port Adelaide Reserves}}
-"Wormtail, I need somebody with brains, somebody whose loyalty has never wavered, and you, unfortunately, fulfill neither requirement."
+==Corporate==
-"I found you," said Wormtail, and there was definitely a sulky edge to his voice now. "I was the one who found you. I brought you Bertha Jorkins."
+===Administrative positions===
+* Chairman: [[David Koch (television presenter)|David Koch]]
+* Chief executive: [[Keith Thomas (footballer, born 1961)|Keith Thomas]]
+* Football operations: [[Christopher Davies (Australian cricketer)|Chris Davies]]
+* Board members:

+** Ross Haslam
+** [[Holly Ransom]]
+** Jamie Restas
+** Richard Ryan
+** Trevor Thiele
+** [[Amanda Vanstone]]
-"That is true," said the second man, sounding amused. "A stroke of brilliance I would not have thought possible from you, Wormtail - though, if truth be told, you were not aware how useful she would be when you caught her, were you?"
+===Current sponsors===
-"I - I thought she might be useful, My Lord -"
+====Major sponsor====
+* [[Renault]]
+* [[EnergyAustralia]]
+* Foodbank (Australia)
-"Liar," said the second voice again, the cruel amusement more pronounced than ever. "However, I do not deny that her information was invaluable. Without it, I could never have formed our plan, and for that, you will have your reward, Wormtail. I will allow you to perform an essential task for me, one that many of my followers would give their right hands to perform..."

-"R-really, My Lord? What -?" Wormtail sounded terrified again.
+==China partnership==
+On 14 April 2016, Port Adelaide announced a three-year multimillion-dollar partnership with leading Chinese property developer Shanghai Cred. Within this partnership, Port Adelaide will take primary responsibility for developing Australian rules football in [[China]]. The partnership will see Port Adelaide hold annual training camps and provide sponsorship in China, as well as producing AFL programs and broadcasting games in the country via [[China Central Television]] and other networks.{{citation needed|date=April 2016}}
-"Ah, Wormtail, you don't want me to spoil the surprise? Your part will come at the very end...but I promise you, you will have the honor of being just as useful as Bertha Jorkins."

+==Supporters==
-"You...you..." Wormtail's voice suddenly sounded hoarse, as though his mouth had gone very dry. "You...are going...to kill me too?"
+The Port Adelaide Football Club has historically drawn its supporter base in and around historical working class [[Port Adelaide]]. However, this support has spread to many coastal locations in Adelaide (from [[Outer Harbor, South Australia|Outer Harbour]] down to [[West Beach, South Australia|West Beach]]), in much of the inner-Western suburbs, throughout the North-Eastern suburbs in [[City of Campbelltown (South Australia)|Campbelltown]] and [[City of Tea Tree Gully|Tea Tree Gully]], in many of the Southern suburbs (such as [[Aberfoyle Park]] and [[Flagstaff Hill, South Australia|Flagstaff Hill]]), as well as throughout the [[Adelaide Hills]] and country South Australia.
-"Wormtail, Wormtail," said the cold voice silkily, "why would I kill you? I killed Bertha because I had to. She was fit for nothing after my questioning, quite useless. In any case, awkward questions would have been asked if she had gone back to the Ministry with the news that she had met you on her holidays. Wizards who are supposed to be dead would do well not to run into Ministry of Magic witches at wayside inns..."
+After historically being the largest football club in South Australia, Port Adelaide has reemerged as one of the largest sporting organisations in Australia, with over 60,000 members and an average attendance nearing 45,000 in 2015.
-Wormtail muttered something so quietly that Frank could not hear it, but it made the second man laugh - an entirely mirthless laugh, cold as his speech.
+===Supporter groups===
+Port Adelaide has many [[supporter groups]], with every state or territory containing at least one supporter group. In addition, many country towns within South Australia have their own supporter group, many of which travel to both home and away games.<ref>{{cite web|title = Port Adelaide Supporter Groups - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/supporters/official-supporter-groups|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-07-11}}</ref>

-"We could have modified her memory? But Memory Charms can be broken by a powerful wizard, as I proved when I questioned her. It would be an insult to her memory not to use the information I extracted from her, Wormtail."
+===Number 1 ticket holders===
-Out in the corridor, Frank suddenly became aware that the hand gripping his walking stick was slippery with sweat. The man with the cold voice had killed a woman. He was talking about it without any kind of remorse - with amusement. He was dangerous - a madman. And he was planning more murders - this boy, Harry Potter, whoever he was - was in danger -
+====Current====
+* [[Hugh Sheridan]] – Australian actor and singer.
-Frank knew what he must do. Now, if ever, was the time to go to the police. He would creep out of the house and head straight for the telephone box in the village...but the cold voice was speaking again, and Frank remained where he was, frozen to the spot, listening with all his might.

-And the second man's voice changed. He started making noises such as Frank had never heard before; he was hissing and spitting without drawing breath. Frank thought he must be having some sort of fit or seizure.

-And then Frank heard movement behind him in the dark passageway. He turned to look, and found himself paralyzed with fright.

Horrified, transfixed, Frank stared as its undulating body cut a wide, curving track through the thick dust on the floor, coming closer and closer - What was he to do?

+At end of 2015 season.
-The cold voice was coming from the ancient armchair before the fire, but Frank couldn't see the speaker. the snake, on the other hand, was curled up on the rotting hearth rug, like some horrible travesty of a pet dog.
+'''Best league record against another club'''
-Wormtail beckoned Frank into the room. Though still deeply shaken, Frank took a firmer grip on his walking stick and limped over the threshold.
+Over 10 league matches against a current club.
+* AFL – West Coast – 17 wins / 10 losses / 0 draws (62.96%)
+* SANFL – Glenelg – 177 wins / 67 losses / 3 draws (72.27%)
+At end of 2015 season.
-The fire was the only source of light in the room; it cast long, spidery shadows upon the walls. Frank stared at the back of the armchair; the man inside it seemed to be even smaller than his servant, for Frank couldn't even see the back of his head.
+'''Worst league record against another club'''
-"You heard everything, Muggle?" said the cold voice.
+Over 10 league matches against a current club.
+* AFL – Sydney – 7 wins / 19 losses / 0 draws (26.92%)

-"What's that you're calling me?" said Frank defiantly, for now that he was inside the room, now that the time had come for some sort of action, he felt braver; it had always been so in the war.
+'''Highest score'''
-"I am calling you a Muggle," said the voice coolly. "It means that you are not a wizard."

+* SANFL – 37.21 (243) vs [[Woodville Football Club|Woodville]], 19 April 1980, Football Park
-"I don't know what you mean by wizard," said Frank, his voice growing steadier. "All I know is I've heard enough to interest the police tonight, I have. You've done murder and you're planning more! And I'll tell you this too," he added, on a sudden inspiration, "my wife knows I'm up here, and if I don't come back -"
+'''Lowest score'''
-"You have no wife," said the cold voice, very quietly. "Nobody knows you are here. You told nobody that you were coming. Do not lie to Lord Voldemort, Muggle, for he knows...he always knows..."
+* AFL – 3.3 (21) vs Collingwood, Round 20, 2011, Football Park
+* SANFL – 1.1 (7) vs North Adelaide, 5 May 1900, Alberton Oval
-"Is that right?" said Frank roughly. "Lord, is it? Well, I don't think much of your manners, My Lord. Turn 'round and face me like a man, why don't you?"
+'''Greatest Winning Margin'''
-"But I am not a man, Muggle," said the cold voice, barely audible now over the crackling of the flames. "I am much, much more than a man. However...why not? I will face you...Wormtail, come turn my chair around."
+* AFL – 117 points vs Hawthorn, Round 13, 2005, Football Park
+* SANFL – 179 points vs [[Woodville Football Club|Woodville]], 8 August 1970, Woodville Oval
-The servant gave a whimper.

+* SANFL – 114 points vs [[Sturt Double Blues|Sturt]], [[1965 SANFL season|1965]], [[Unley Oval]]
-Slowly, with his face screwed up, as though he would rather have done anything than approach his master and the hearth rug where the snake lay, the small man walked forward and began to turn the chair. The snake lifted its ugly triangular head and hissed slightly as the legs of the chair snagged on its rug.
+'''Most Wins in a season'''
-And then the chair was facing Frank, and he saw what was sitting in it. His walking stick fell to the floor with a clatter. He opened his mouth and let out a scream. He was screaming so loudly that he never heard the words the thing in the chair spoke as it raised a wand. There was a flash of green light, a rushing sound, and Frank Bryce crumpled. He was dead before he hit the floor.
+* AFL – 20 wins ([[2004 AFL season|2004]])

0 => 'The villagers of Little Hangleton still called it "the Riddle House," even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there. It stood on a hill overlooking the village, some of its windows boarded, tiles missing from its roof, and ivy spreading unchecked over its face. Once a fine-looking manor, and easily the largest and grandest building for miles around, the Riddle House was now damp, derelict, and unoccupied.',
1 => 'The Little Hangletons all agreed that the old house was "creepy." Half a century ago, something strange and horrible had happened there, something that the older inhabitants of the village still liked to discuss when topics for gossip were scarce. The story had been picked over so many times, and had been embroidered in so many places, that nobody was quite sure what the truth was anymore. Every version of the tale, however, started in the same place: Fifty years before, at daybreak on a fine summer's morning when the Riddle House had still been well kept and impressive, a maid had entered the drawing room to find all three Riddles dead.',
2 => 'The maid had run screaming down the hill into the village and roused as many people as she could.',
3 => '"Lying there with their eyes wide open! Cold as ice! Still in their dinner things!"',
4 => 'The police were summoned, and the whole of Little Hangleton had seethed with shocked curiosity and ill-disguised excitement. Nobody wasted their breath pretending to feel very sad about the Riddles, for they had been most unpopular. Elderly Mr. and Mrs. Riddle had been rich, snobbish, and rude, and their grown-up son, Tom, had been, if anything, worse. All the villagers cared about was the identity of their murderer - for plainly, three apparently healthy people did not all drop dead of natural causes on the same night.',
5 => 'The Hanged Man, the village pub, did a roaring trade that night; the whole village seemed to have turned out to discuss the murders. They were rewarded for leaving their firesides when the Riddles' cook arrived dramatically in their midst and announced to the suddenly silent pub that a man called Frank Bryce had just been arrested.',
6 => '"Frank!" cried several people. "Never!"',
7 => 'Frank Bryce was the Riddles' gardener. He lived alone in a run-down cottage on the grounds of the Riddle House. Frank had come back from the war with a very stiff leg and a great dislike of crowds and loud noises, and had been working for the Riddles ever since.',
8 => 'There was a rush to buy the cook drinks and hear more details.',
9 => '"Always thought he was odd," she told the eagerly listening villagers, after her fourth sherry. "Unfriendly, like. I'm sure if I've offered him a cuppa once, I've offered it a hundred times. Never wanted to mix, he didn't."',
10 => '"Ah, now," said a woman at the bar, "he had a hard war, Frank. He likes the quiet life. That's no reason to -"',
11 => '"Who else had a key to the back door, then?" barked the cook. "There's been a spare key hanging in the gardener's cottage far back as I can remember! Nobody forced the door last night! No broken windows! All Frank had to do was creep up to the big house while we was all sleeping..."',
12 => 'The villagers exchanged dark looks.',
13 => '"I always thought that he had a nasty look about him, right enough," grunted a man at the bar.',
14 => '"War turned him funny, if you ask me," said the landlord.',
15 => '"Told you I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Frank, didn't I, Dot?" said an excited woman in the corner.',
16 => '"Horrible temper," said Dot, nodding fervently. "I remember, when he was a kid..."',
17 => 'By the following morning, hardly anyone in Little Hangleton doubted that Frank Bryce had killed the Riddles.',
18 => 'But over in the neighboring town of Great Hangleton, in the dark and dingy police station, Frank was stubbornly repeating, again and again, that he was innocent, and that the only person he had seen near the house on the day of the Riddles' deaths had been a teenage boy, a stranger, dark-haired and pale. Nobody else in the village had seen any such boy, and the police were quite sure Frank had invented him.',
19 => 'Then, just when things were looking very serious for Frank, the report on the Riddles' bodies came back and changed everything.',
20 => 'The police had never read an odder report. A team of doctors had examined the bodies and had concluded that none of the Riddles had been poisoned, stabbed, shot, strangles, suffocated, or (as far as they could tell) harmed at all. In fact (the report continued, in a tone of unmistakable bewilderment), the Riddles all appeared to be in perfect health - apart from the fact that they were all dead. The doctors did note (as though determined to find something wrong with the bodies) that each of the Riddles had a look of terror upon his or her face - but as the frustrated police said, whoever heard of three people being frightened to death?',
21 => 'As there was no proof that the Riddles had been murdered at all, the police were forced to let Frank go. The Riddles were buried in the Little Hangleton churchyard, and their graves remained objects of curiosity for a while. To everyone's surprise, and amid a cloud of suspicion, Frank Bryce returned to his cottage on the grounds of the Riddle House.',
22 => '"As far as I'm concerned, he killed them, and I don't care what the police say," said Dot in the Hanged Man. "And if he had any decency, he'd leave here, knowing as how we knows he did it."',
23 => 'But Frank did not leave. He stayed to tend the garden for the next family who lived in the Riddle House, and then the next - for neither family stayed long. Perhaps it was partly because of Frank that the new owners said there was a nasty feeling about the place, which, in the absence of inhabitants, started to fall into disrepair.',
24 => 'The wealthy man who owned the Riddle House these days neither lived there nor put it to any use; they said in the village that he kept it for "tax reasons," though nobody was very clear what these might be. The wealthy owner continued to pay Frank to do the gardening, however. Frank was nearing his seventy-seventh birthday now, very deaf, his bad leg stiffer than ever, but could be seen pottering around the flower beds in fine weather, even though the weeds were starting to creep up on him, try as he might to suppress them.',
25 => 'Weeds were not the only things Frank had to contend with either. Boys from the village made a habit of throwing stones through the windows of the Riddle House. They rode their bicycles over the lawns Frank worked so hard to keep smooth. Once or twice, they broke into the old house for a dare. They knew that old Frank's devotion to the house and the grounds amounted almost to an obsession, and it amused them to see him limping across the garden, brandishing his stick and yelling croakily at them. Frank, for his part, believed the boys tormented him because they, like their parents and grandparents, though him a murderer. So when Frank awoke one night in August and saw something very odd up at the old house, he merely assumed that the boys had gone one step further in their attempts to punish him.',
26 => 'It was Frank's bad leg that woke him; it was paining him worse than ever in his old age. He got up and limped downstairs into the kitchen with the idea of refilling his hot-water bottle to ease the stiffness in his knee. Standing at the sink, filling the kettle, he looked up at the Riddle House and saw lights glimmering in its upper windows. Frank knew at once what was going on. The boys had broken into the house again, and judging by the flickering quality of the light, they had started a fire.',
27 => 'Frank had no telephone, in any case, he had deeply mistrusted the police ever since they had taken him in for questioning about the Riddles' deaths. He put down the kettle at once, hurried back upstairs as fast as his bad leg would allow, and was soon back in his kitchen, fully dressed and removing a rusty old key from its hook by the door. He picked up his walking stick, which was propped against the wall, and set off into the night.',
28 => 'The front door of the Riddle House bore no sign of being forced, nor did any of the windows. Frank limped around to the back of the house until he reached a door almost completely hidden by ivy, took out the old key, put it into the lock, and opened the door noiselessly.',
29 => 'He let himself into the cavernous kitchen. Frank had not entered it for many years; nevertheless, although it was very dark, he remembered where the door into the hall was, and he groped his way towards it, his nostrils full of the smell of decay, ears pricked for any sound of footsteps or voices from overhead. He reached the hall, which was a little lighter owing to the large mullioned windows on either side of the front door, and started to climb the stairs, blessing the dust that lay thick upon the stone, because it muffled the sound of his feet and stick.',
30 => 'On the landing, Frank turned right, and saw at once where the intruders were: At the every end of the passage a door stood ajar, and a flickering light shone through the gap, casting a long sliver of gold across the black floor. Frank edged closer and closer, he was able to see a narrow slice of the room beyond.',
31 => 'The fire, he now saw, had been lit in the grate. This surprised him. Then he stopped moving and listened intently, for a man's voice spoke within the room; it sounded timid and fearful.',
32 => '"There is a little more in the bottle, My Lord, if you are still hungry."',
33 => '"Later," said a second voice. This too belonged to a man - but it was strangely high-pitched, and cold as a sudden blast of icy wind. Something about that voice made the sparse hairs on the back of Frank's neck stand up. "Move me closer to the fire, Wormtail."',
34 => 'Frank turned his right ear toward the door, the better to hear. There came the clink of a bottle being put down upon some hard surface, and then the dull scraping noise of a heavy chair being dragged across the floor. Frank caught a glimpse of a small man, his back to the door, pushing the chair into place. He was wearing a long black cloak, and there was a bald patch at the back of his head. Then he went out of sight again.',
35 => '"Where is Nagini?" said the cold voice.',
36 => '"I - I don't know, My Lord," said the first voice nervously. "She set out to explore the house, I think..."',
37 => '"You will milk her before we retire, Wormtail," said the second voice. "I will need feeding in the night. The journey has tired me greatly."',
38 => 'Brow furrowed, Frank inclined his good ear still closer to the door, listening very hard. There was a pause, and then the man called Wormtail spoke again.',
39 => '"My Lord, may I ask how long we are going to stay here?"',
40 => '"A week," said the cold voice. "Perhaps longer. The place is moderately comfortable, and the plan cannot proceed yet. It would be foolish to act before the Quidditch World Cup is over."',
41 => 'Frank inserted a gnarled finger into his ear and rotated it. Owing, no doubt, to a buildup of earwax, he had heard the word "Quidditch," which was not a word at all.',
42 => '"The - the Quidditch World Cup, My Lord?" said Wormtail. (Frank dug his finger still more vigorously into his ear.) "Forgive me, but - I do not understand - why should we wait until the World Cup is over?"',
43 => '"Because, fool, at this very moment wizards are pouring into the country from all over the world, and every meddler from the Ministry of Magic will be on duty, on the watch for signs of unusual activity, checking and double-checking identities. They will be obsessed with security, lest the Muggles notice anything. So we wait."',
44 => 'Frank stopped trying to clear out his ear. He had distinctly heard the words "Ministry of Magic," "wizards," and "Muggles." Plainly, each of these expressions meant something secret, and Frank could think of only two sorts of people who would speak in code: spies and criminals. Frank tightened his hold on his walking stick once more, and listened more closely still.',
45 => '"Your Lordship is still determined, then?" Wormtail said quietly.',
46 => '"Certainly I am determined, Wormtail." There was a note of menace in the cold voice now.',
47 => 'A slight pause followed - and the Wormtail spoke, the words tumbling from him in a rush, as though he was forcing himself to say this before he lost his nerve.',
48 => '"It could be done without Harry Potter, My Lord."',
49 => 'Another pause, more protracted, and then -',
50 => '"Without Harry Potter?" breathed the second voice softly. "I see..."',
51 => '"My Lord, I do not say this out of concern for the boy!" said Wormtail, his voice rising squeakily. "The boy is nothing to me, nothing at all! It is merely that if we were to use another witch or wizard - any wizard - the thing could be done so much more quickly! If you allowed me to leave you for a short while - you know that I can disguise myself most effectively - I could be back here in as little as two days with a suitable person -"',
52 => '"I could use another wizard," said the cold voice softly, "that is true..."',
53 => '"My Lord, it makes sense," said Wormtail, sounding thoroughly relieved now. "Laying hands on Harry Potter would be so difficult, he is so well protected -"',
54 => '"And so you volunteer to go and fetch me a substitute? I wonder...perhaps the task of nursing me has become wearisome for you, Wormtail? Could this suggestion of abandoning the plan be nothing more than an attempt to desert me?"',
55 => '"My Lord! I - I have no wish to leave you, none at all -"',
56 => '"Do not lie to me!" hissed the second voice. "I can always tell, Wormtail! You are regretting that you ever returned to me. I revolt you. I see you flinch when you look at me, feel you shudder when you touch me..."',
57 => '"No! My devotion to Your Lordship -"',
58 => '"Your devotion is nothing more than cowardice. You would not be here if you had anywhere else to go. How am I to survive without you, when I need feeding every few hours? Who is to milk Nagini?"',
59 => '"But you seem so much stronger, My Lord -"',
60 => '"Liar," breathed the second voice. "I am no stronger, and a few days alone would be enough to rob me of the little health I have regained under your clumsy care. Silence!"',
61 => 'Wormtail, who had been sputtering incoherently, fell silent at once. For a few seconds, Frank could hear nothing but the fire crackling. The second man spoke once more, in a whisper that was almost a hiss.',
62 => '"I have my reasons for using the boy, as I have already explained to you, and I will use no other. I have waited thirteen years. A few more months will make no difference. As for the protection surrounding the boy, I believe my plan will be effective. All that is needed is a little courage from you, Wormtail - courage you will find, unless you wish to feel the full extent of Lord Voldermort's wrath -"',
63 => '"My Lord, I must speak!" said Wormtail, panic in his voice now. "All through our journey I have gone over the plan in my head - My Lord, Bertha Jorkin's disappearance will not go unnoticed for long, and if we proceed, if I murder -"',
64 => '"If?" whispered the second voice. "If? If you follow the plan, Wormtail, the Ministry need never know that anyone else has died. You will do it quietly and without fuss; I only wish that I could do it myself, but in my present condition...Come, Wormtail, one more death and our path to Harry Potter is clear. I am not asking you to do it alone. By that time, my faithful servant will have rejoined us -"',
65 => '"I am a faithful servant," said Wormtail, the merest trace of sullenness in his voice.',
66 => '"Wormtail, I need somebody with brains, somebody whose loyalty has never wavered, and you, unfortunately, fulfill neither requirement."',
67 => '"I found you," said Wormtail, and there was definitely a sulky edge to his voice now. "I was the one who found you. I brought you Bertha Jorkins."',
68 => '"That is true," said the second man, sounding amused. "A stroke of brilliance I would not have thought possible from you, Wormtail - though, if truth be told, you were not aware how useful she would be when you caught her, were you?"',
69 => '"I - I thought she might be useful, My Lord -"',
70 => '"Liar," said the second voice again, the cruel amusement more pronounced than ever. "However, I do not deny that her information was invaluable. Without it, I could never have formed our plan, and for that, you will have your reward, Wormtail. I will allow you to perform an essential task for me, one that many of my followers would give their right hands to perform..."',
71 => '"R-really, My Lord? What -?" Wormtail sounded terrified again.',
72 => '"Ah, Wormtail, you don't want me to spoil the surprise? Your part will come at the very end...but I promise you, you will have the honor of being just as useful as Bertha Jorkins."',
73 => '"You...you..." Wormtail's voice suddenly sounded hoarse, as though his mouth had gone very dry. "You...are going...to kill me too?"',
74 => '"Wormtail, Wormtail," said the cold voice silkily, "why would I kill you? I killed Bertha because I had to. She was fit for nothing after my questioning, quite useless. In any case, awkward questions would have been asked if she had gone back to the Ministry with the news that she had met you on her holidays. Wizards who are supposed to be dead would do well not to run into Ministry of Magic witches at wayside inns..."',
75 => 'Wormtail muttered something so quietly that Frank could not hear it, but it made the second man laugh - an entirely mirthless laugh, cold as his speech.',
76 => '"We could have modified her memory? But Memory Charms can be broken by a powerful wizard, as I proved when I questioned her. It would be an insult to her memory not to use the information I extracted from her, Wormtail."',
77 => 'Out in the corridor, Frank suddenly became aware that the hand gripping his walking stick was slippery with sweat. The man with the cold voice had killed a woman. He was talking about it without any kind of remorse - with amusement. He was dangerous - a madman. And he was planning more murders - this boy, Harry Potter, whoever he was - was in danger -',
78 => 'Frank knew what he must do. Now, if ever, was the time to go to the police. He would creep out of the house and head straight for the telephone box in the village...but the cold voice was speaking again, and Frank remained where he was, frozen to the spot, listening with all his might.',
79 => '"One more murder...my faithful servant at Hogwarts...Harry Potter is as good as mine, Wormtail. It is decided. There will be no more argument. But quiet...I think I hear Nagini..."',
80 => 'And the second man's voice changed. He started making noises such as Frank had never heard before; he was hissing and spitting without drawing breath. Frank thought he must be having some sort of fit or seizure.',
81 => 'And then Frank heard movement behind him in the dark passageway. He turned to look, and found himself paralyzed with fright.',
82 => 'Something was slithering toward him along the dark corridor floor, and as it drew nearer to the sliver of firelight, he realized with a thrill of terror that it was a gigantic snake, at least twelve feet long. Horrified, transfixed, Frank stared as its undulating body cut a wide, curving track through the thick dust on the floor, coming closer and closer - What was he to do? The only means of escape was into the room where the two men sat plotting murder, yet if he stayed where he was the snake would surely kill him -',
83 => 'But before he had made his decision, the snake was level with him, and then, incredibly, miraculously, it was passing; it was following the spitting, hissing noises made by the cold voice beyond the door, and in seconds, the tip of its diamond-patterned tail had vanished through the gap.',
84 => 'There was sweat on Frank's forehead now, and the hand on the walking stick was trembling. Inside the room, the cold voice was continuing to hiss, and Frank was visited by a strange idea, an impossible idea...This man could talk to snakes.',
85 => 'Frank didn't understand what was going on. He wanted more than anything to be back in his bed with his hot-water bottle. The problem was that his legs didn't seem to want to move. As he stood there shaking and trying to master himself, the cold voice switched abruptly to English again.',
86 => '"Nagini has interesting news, Wormtail," it said.',
87 => '"In-indeed, My Lord?" said Wormtail.',
88 => '"Indeed, yes," said the voice, "According to Nagini, there is an old Muggle standing right outside this room, listening to every word we say."',
89 => 'Frank didn't have a chance to hide himself. There were footsteps and then the door of the room was flung wide open.',
90 => 'A short, balding man with graying hair, a pointed nose, and small, watery eyes stood before Frank, a mixture of fear and alarm in his face.',
91 => '"Invite him inside, Wormtail. Where are your manners?"',
92 => 'The cold voice was coming from the ancient armchair before the fire, but Frank couldn't see the speaker. the snake, on the other hand, was curled up on the rotting hearth rug, like some horrible travesty of a pet dog.',
93 => 'Wormtail beckoned Frank into the room. Though still deeply shaken, Frank took a firmer grip on his walking stick and limped over the threshold.',
94 => 'The fire was the only source of light in the room; it cast long, spidery shadows upon the walls. Frank stared at the back of the armchair; the man inside it seemed to be even smaller than his servant, for Frank couldn't even see the back of his head.',
95 => '"You heard everything, Muggle?" said the cold voice.',
96 => '"What's that you're calling me?" said Frank defiantly, for now that he was inside the room, now that the time had come for some sort of action, he felt braver; it had always been so in the war.',
97 => '"I am calling you a Muggle," said the voice coolly. "It means that you are not a wizard."',
98 => '"I don't know what you mean by wizard," said Frank, his voice growing steadier. "All I know is I've heard enough to interest the police tonight, I have. You've done murder and you're planning more! And I'll tell you this too," he added, on a sudden inspiration, "my wife knows I'm up here, and if I don't come back -"',
99 => '"You have no wife," said the cold voice, very quietly. "Nobody knows you are here. You told nobody that you were coming. Do not lie to Lord Voldemort, Muggle, for he knows...he always knows..."',
100 => '"Is that right?" said Frank roughly. "Lord, is it? Well, I don't think much of your manners, My Lord. Turn 'round and face me like a man, why don't you?"',
101 => '"But I am not a man, Muggle," said the cold voice, barely audible now over the crackling of the flames. "I am much, much more than a man. However...why not? I will face you...Wormtail, come turn my chair around."',
102 => 'The servant gave a whimper.',
103 => '"You heard me, Wormtail."',
104 => 'Slowly, with his face screwed up, as though he would rather have done anything than approach his master and the hearth rug where the snake lay, the small man walked forward and began to turn the chair. The snake lifted its ugly triangular head and hissed slightly as the legs of the chair snagged on its rug.',
105 => 'And then the chair was facing Frank, and he saw what was sitting in it. His walking stick fell to the floor with a clatter. He opened his mouth and let out a scream. He was screaming so loudly that he never heard the words the thing in the chair spoke as it raised a wand. There was a flash of green light, a rushing sound, and Frank Bryce crumpled. He was dead before he hit the floor.',
106 => 'Two hundred miles away, the boy called Harry Potter woke with a start.'

{{main article|History of Port Adelaide Football Club}}
===1870–1876: Formation years===
By the late 1860s [[Port Adelaide]]'s [[Port River|river]] traffic was growing significantly causing John Rann, Mr. Leicester and Mr. Ireland to form a sporting club to benefit local wharf workers.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Port Adelaide Football Club - Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%2520Adelaide/9|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The Port Adelaide Football Club was established on 12 May 1870 as part of a joint [[Australian rules football|Australian football]] and [[cricket]] club with the first training session taking place two days later.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article39203522|title = The wheat statistics.|newspaper = [[South Australian Register]]|location = Adelaide, SA|date = 13 May 1870|accessdate = 29 March 2015|page = 5|publisher = National Library of Australia}}</ref> It played its first match against a team called the "Young Australians" on 24 May 1870 at inaugural club president [[John Hart, Jr.|John Hart]]'s family property in [[Glanville, South Australia|Glanville]]. Football in [[South Australia]] at this stage was yet to be organised by a single body and as a result there were several sets of rules in use across the state.
===1877–1889: SAFA foundation, Alberton Oval and Australia's first grand final===
In [[1877 SAFA season|1877]] Port Adelaide joined seven other clubs to form the [[South Australian National Football League|South Australian Football Association]] (SAFA), the first league of its type in Australia.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.sahistorians.org.au/175/chronology/april/30-april-1877-south-australian-football-associatio.shtml|title = The South Australian Football Story|date = 1983|accessdate = 2 May 2015|website = SA 175|publisher = professional historians association (south australia)|last = Whimpress|first = Bernard}}</ref> It competed its first few seasons wearing magenta guernseys and white shorts.<ref>{{Cite book|title = 1877 South Australian Football Season Records and Statistics|last = Gyss|first = Trevor|publisher = |year = 2010|isbn = 1445782928|location = |page = 31}}</ref> In [[1878 SAFA season|1878]] the club hosted its first game against the recently established [[Norwood Football Club]] with the visitors winning 1-0.

In 1880 the club moved to [[Alberton Oval]]. In 1881 the club played an interstate team for the first time against [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton]] at Adelaide Oval. Later that year the club travelled to Victoria and played its first game outside South Australia against [[Sale Football Club|Sale]].<ref>{{cite web|title = 10 things you probably don’t know about the Port Adelaide Football Club… – portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2015-05-12/port-adelaide-turns-145|accessdate = 2015-05-29}}</ref> During the [[1882 SAFA season|1882 season]] Port Adelaide overcame Norwood for the first time after nine previous attempts winning by 1 goal at [[Adelaide Oval]].

On 25 May 1885, Port Adelaide played its first game at the [[MCG]] against [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]], drawing with the eventual VFA premiers in front of 10,000 spectators.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article6080331 |title=Sporting Intelligence |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]] |location=Melbourne |date=25 May 1885 |accessdate=22 November 2014 |page=9 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref>
In 1887 immense interest led into the Round 8 meeting against Norwood as the previous two matches between the clubs resulted in draws. Norwood won in front of a then-record 11,000 spectators at Adelaide Oval.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article37175326 |title=FOOTBALL. |newspaper=[[The South Australian Advertiser]] |location=Adelaide |date=21 June 1887 |accessdate=14 January 2015 |page=7 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref> During 1889 the club played against the [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] at [[Punt Road]], with Port prevailing by a goal.<ref>{{Cite web|title = First of firsts: Port Adelaide v Richmond 1889 - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2014-09-03/first-of-firsts-port-adelaide-v-richmond-1889|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The [[1889 SAFA season]] ended with Port Adelaide and Norwood equal top, leading to the staging of [[1889 SAFA Grand Final|Australia's first grand final]].

In 1890 Port Adelaide won its second SAFA premiership and would go on to be crowned "[[1890 Championship of Australia|Champions of Australia]]" for the first time after defeating [[Victorian Football League|VFA]] premiers [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]]. During the 1890s Australia was affected by a severe depression and many players were forced to move interstate to find work translating into poor on field results. By 1896, the club was in crisis and finished last causing the clubs committee to meet with the aim of revitalising the club. Historian John Devaney suggested that there was a "conscious and deliberate cultivation by both the committee and the team's on field leaders of a revitalised club spirit, whereby playing for Port Adelaide became a genuine source of pride".<ref>{{cite web|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%20Adelaide/9|title = Port Adelaide|date = |accessdate = 14 May 2015|website = Australian Football|publisher = |last = Devaney|first = John}}</ref> It had immediate results and in 1897 Port Adelaide won a [[1897 SAFA season|third premiership]] finishing the season with a record of 14-2-1 with a scoring record two and a half times its conceded total. This is one of only four occurrences since 1877 that the team that finished last won a premiership the following year. [[Stan Malin]] won Port Adelaide's first [[Magarey Medal]] in 1899.
During the 19th century the club had nicknames including the Cockledivers, the Seaside Men, the Seasiders and the Magentas. In 1900, Port finished bottom in the six-team competition, which it has not done in any senior league since.

Just as had happened in 1914, the league was being hit hard by player losses in World War II. Due to a lack of able men the league's eight teams were reduced to four with Port Adelaide merging with nearby West Torrens from 1942 to 1944. The joint club would play in all three Grand Finals during this period, winning the 1942 instalment but losing the 1943 and 1944 editions to the Norwood-North Adelaide combination. Normal competition resumed in 1945. After finishing his military service [[Haydn Bunton Sr.]], now a triple [[Brownlow Medal|Brownlow]] and [[Sandover Medal|Sandover]] medallist, joined the club for his final season.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://australianfootball.com/players/player/haydn%2Bbunton%2Bsnr/5255|title = Haydn Bunton Snr|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = Devaney|first = John}}</ref> However, despite this addition Port Adelaide was unable to regain its pre-war success and played in only one grand final for the rest of the 1940s.
===1950–1973: Fos Williams era and Jack Oatey rivalry===
[[File:Fos Williams 1954.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Fos Williams]] coached Port Adelaide to nine premierships, playing in six of them.]]
At the end of the 1949, having missed two finals series in a row, the Port Adelaide Football Club had become desperate to improve its on-field performances. The club's committee subsequently sought out a coach that could win the club its next premiership.
Eventually a decision was made which would influence the next 50 years of the Port Adelaide Football Club with [[Fos Williams|Foster Neil Williams]], a brilliant [[Follower (Australian rules football)|rover]] from West Adelaide, being appointed captain-coach of the club. Williams brought to the club a new coaching style based on success at any cost which was succinctly encapsulated in the legendary [[Port Adelaide Football Club#Club creed|club creed]] he eventually wrote in 1962. During his second season as coach in 1951, Williams led Port to their first official premiership (excluding World War II competition) for 9 seasons, defeating North Adelaide by 11 points. At the end of the 1951 season the VFL premiers Geelong visited South Australia to play the local premiers Port Adelaide on Adelaide Oval. Geelong won the match 8.14 (62) to 6.18 (54) in front of 25,000 people.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Bound for Glory|last = Wood|first = John|publisher = Largs Bay Printers|year = 1991|isbn = 0959316213|location = Port Adelaide|page = 46}}</ref> Port Adelaide would make the Grand Final again in 1953 against local rivals West Torrens in what would be the Eagles last appearance before merging with Woodville. West Torrens would disappoint Port Adelaide, winning the 1953 premiership by 7 points.

Port Adelaide's run of disappointment from the 1952 and 1953 seasons would prove to be short lived with the club subsequently going on to win a national record six Grand Finals in a row from 1954 to 1959. The club had a win-loss-draw record of 105-16-1 (86%) over the six-year period. During the 1950s Port Adelaide and [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]], often the premiers of South Australian and Victorian leagues, played exhibition matches at [[Norwood Oval]]. The most notable game was the 1955 match with an estimated crowd of 23,000. The game being a thriller going down to the last 15 seconds with [[Frank 'Bluey' Adams|Frank Adams]] kicking a behind and sealing the game 9.11 (65) to 9.10 (64) in favour of [[Norm Smith]]'s demons.<ref name="demonwiki.org">{{cite web|url = http://demonwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=1955+Exhibition+Match+vs+Port+Adelaide|title = 1955 Exhibition Match vs Port Adelaide|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = |first = }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = http://demonwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=1955+Exhibition+Match+vs+Port+Adelaide|title = 1955 Exhibition Match vs Port Adelaide|date = 30 May 2014|accessdate = 2015-01-20|website = demonwiki.org|publisher = |last = |first = }}</ref> The following year Melbourne was full of praise for their cross border challenger with those in the Demons camp agreeing that "Port Adelaide could take their place in the V.F.L. competition and do themselves credit".<ref>{{Cite book|title = Port Adelaide Football Club Annual Report|last = |first = |publisher = Port Adelaide Football Club|year = 1956|isbn = |location = |page = 6}}</ref>
[[Geof Motley]] took over the captain-coaching role at the club in 1959 when Williams left to take a break from the game. That year the club won the premiership setting a national record of sixth consecutive Grand Final victories. Port Adelaide's hope of winning 7 consecutive premierships was brought to an end in the 1960 preliminary final when Norwood won by 27 points. For the following two seasons Port Adelaide would finish third.

Fos Williams returned in 1962 and Port Adelaide won three of the next four premierships taking his personal tally to nine and the clubs record to 10 of the last 15 premierships. The 1965 premiership, the last that Williams coached, was played in front of 62,543 people, the largest ever crowd at Adelaide Oval. In that game Port Adelaide defeat Sturt by 3 points. After the [[1965 SANFL Grand Final|1965 Grand Final]], Port Adelaide would be frustrated by the dominance of [[Sturt Football Club|Sturt]], which won seven premierships over this period under the leadership of [[Jack Oatey]]. In all, despite playing in 6 of the next 10 grand finals, Port Adelaide would fail to win a premiership until 1977.

One of Port Adelaide's finest players during the Fos Williams era was [[John Cahill (footballer)|John Cahill]]. He eventually became William's [[Mentorship|protégé]] and ultimately took over as coach in 1974. In 1975 a dispute between the [[City of Port Adelaide Enfield|Port Adelaide City Council]] and the SANFL over the use of Alberton Oval forced Port Adelaide to move its home matches to Adelaide Oval for two seasons. In 1976 Cahill would subsequently take Port Adelaide to its first Grand Final under his leadership against Sturt with an official attendance of 66,897, the record for football in South Australia. The actual crowd was estimated at 80,000, much bigger than the official figure as Football Park ran out of tickets early and were forced to shut the gates 90 minutes before the bounce as people were being crushed on entry.<ref name="Norton 2013 28">{{Cite book|title = Port Adelaide Football Club – 2013 Season Guide.|last = Norton|first = Daniel|publisher = Bowden Group|year = 2013|isbn = |location = Adelaide|page = 28}}</ref> Sturt won in an upset by 41 points. In 1977 the dispute regarding Alberton Oval was resolved and the club moved back to its home ground and won that years premiership breaking an 11-year drought which at the time was Port Adelaide longest since competing in an organised football competition.

The [[1980 SANFL season|1980 season]] was Port Adelaide's most dominant since 1914. All SANFL divisions of the club made finals with both the league and reserve sides winning their respective premierships. Russell Ebert won his record 4th [[Magarey Medal]]. [[Tim Evans (footballer)|Tim Evans]] set the then-league goal kicking record of 146 goals in a season. The club provided seven players to the state league team ([[Russell Ebert|Ebert]], [[Tim Evans (footballer)|Evans]], [[Brian Cunningham|Cunningham]], [[Greg Phillips|Phillips]], [[Mark Williams (Australian footballer born 1958)|Williams]], [[Tony Giles|Giles]] and [[Milan Faletic|Faletic]]). The club set a new record for most points scored during the whole season at 3,421 whilst also having the best defence conceding only 1,851 points. Overall Port Adelaide lost 2 games from 24 for the year.
[[Russell Ebert]] became coach in 1983 when Cahill left to coach Collingwood for two seasons. This period saw the club fail to reach the grand final. The period also marked the rise of the VFL as Australia's premier football competition. Many SANFL players were moving to the VFL larger salaries. In 1982 the SANFL, Norwood and [[East Perth Football Club|East Perth]] all approached the VFL in regards to entering the league. All were ignored at the time.<ref name="australianfootball.com">{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Port+Adelaide Football Club - Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%252BAdelaide/9|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> Port Adelaide's report from 1982 showed that the failure of these attempts impacted the understanding of its future.<ref>'Port Adelaide Football Club Inc. Annual Report and Balance Sheet Season 1982', page 11</ref> From this point onwards the club restructured in regards to economics, public relations and on-field performance for an attempt to enter the league. There was genuine feeling that failure to do this would result in the club ceasing to exist in the future.<ref name="australianfootball.com"/> Talk of a side from South Australia entering the VFL was fast tracked in 1987 when a team from Western Australia, the [[West Coast Eagles]], and a team from [[Brisbane]], the [[Brisbane Bears]] joined the VFL. South Australia was left out as the only mainland state without a team.
John Cahill returned as coach for the 1988 season. During that year, one of Fos Williams sons, Anthony, was tragically killed in a building accident. The following day the club played against Norwood and managed to overcome an early deficit to win the emotional charged game. The club would go on to win the 1988 premiership.
In 1989 seven out of ten SANFL clubs were recording losses and the combined income of the SANFL and WAFL had dropped to 40% of that of the VFL.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Revisiting the South Australian license saga of 1991|url = http://www.theroar.com.au/2012/07/16/revisiting-the-south-australian-license-saga-of-1991/|website = The Roar|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> During early 1990 the SANFL decided to wait three years before making any further decision in regards to fielding a South Australian side in the VFL until it could be done without negatively affecting football within the state. Frustrated with lack of progress, Port Adelaide were having secret negotiations in the town of Quorn for entry in 1991.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Stateline South Australia|url = http://www.abc.net.au/stateline/sa/content/2003/s1206851.htm|website = www.abc.net.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> From these discussions Port Adelaide Football Club accepted an invitation from the VFL to join what had now become the AFL. The AFL signed a Heads of Agreement with the club in expectation that Port would enter the competition in 1991, meaning the Port Adelaide Football Club would field two teams, one in the AFL and one in the SANFL.
During the 1990 preseason Port Adelaide played a practice match against the Geelong at Football Park in front of 35,000 spectators with [[Gary Ablett, Sr.|Gary Ablett Snr]] and [[Gavin Wanganeen]] prominent.
When knowledge of Port Adelaide's negotiations to gain an AFL licence were made public, many in the SANFL saw it as an act of treachery. SANFL clubs urged Justice Olssen to make an injunction against the bid, which he agreed to.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Revisiting the South Australian license saga of 1991|url = http://www.theroar.com.au/2012/07/16/revisiting-the-south-australian-license-saga-of-1991/|website = The Roar|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The AFL suggested to the SANFL that if they didn't want Port Adelaide to join the AFL, they could put forward a counter bid to enter a composite South Australian side into the AFL. After legal action from all parties, the AFL finally agreed to accept the SANFL's bid and the [[Adelaide Football Club]] was born.<ref name="Devaney">John P.

A spot had finally opened and it was announced that in 1997, one year later than expected, [[Port Adelaide]] would enter the AFL.
Once an entry date had been confirmed, the Port Adelaide Football Club set about forming a side fit for competition in the AFL. It was announced that existing Port Adelaide coach, John Cahill would make the transition to the AFL and [[Stephen Williams (footballer)|Stephen Williams]] would take over the SANFL coaching role. Cahill then set about forming a group which would form the inaugural squad.

Of the 35 players on Port Adelaide's inaugural AFL list 13 had played for the club before. The AFL's father son rule for the club was set at 200 games for players before 1997. This compared to only 100 for Victorian clubs.

On 29 March 1997, Port Adelaide played its first AFL premiership match against Collingwood at the MCG, suffering a 79-point defeat. Port won its first AFL game in Round 3 against Geelong, and defeated cross town rivals and eventual premiers Adelaide by 11 points in the first [[Showdown (AFL)|Showdown]] in Round 4. At the conclusion of Round 17, the side sat fifth – only one win and percentage off the top spot in what was an unusually close season – but it fell out of the finals after recording only a draw from its final five games. Port Adelaide finished its first season 9th, missing the finals on percentage behind Brisbane. The 1998 season was looking very similar to the previous year as they hovered around ninth position for most of the year and looked like a threat for finals after Round 14; but they lost six of their last eight games to finish in 10th place, with a record of 9 wins, 12 losses and 1 draw.

They were eliminated by eventual premier, North Melbourne, by 44 points in the Qualifying Final. After finishing 14th in 2000, Port Adelaide had a very successful [[2001 AFL season|2001 season]], starting with a maiden pre-season competition victory, defeating the Brisbane Lions. Port Adelaide finished their 2001 home and away season in third place with 16 wins and six losses. The club travelled to Brisbane for the Qualifying Final, losing by 32 points, then lost its home Semi Final against sixth-placed [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] to be eliminated. Port Adelaide started 2002 strongly, winning the pre-season competition for the second time in a row, defeating Richmond by 9 points. The side built on its success and won its first [[McClelland Trophy|AFL minor premiership]] with an 18–4 record. However, they lost to the eventual premiers, the Brisbane Lions, by 56 points in the preliminary final. Port Adelaide continued its minor round dominance in 2003 and again finished top to claim the minor premiership; however like the previous year, Port Adelaide was eliminated in the preliminary final, losing to Collingwood by 44 points.
Port Adelaide opened the 2004 season well with four straight wins, but then won only four of its next eight games. From Rounds 12–17, Port Adelaide turned their fortunes around and had six consecutive wins, and with five rounds remaining were equal top of the ladder with Brisbane, [[St Kilda Football Club|St Kilda]] and Melbourne.
After losing in Round 18 to Essendon, Port Adelaide won its remaining four games – including wins against minor premiership contender Melbourne and cross town rivals Adelaide to claim the minor premiership for the third consecutive year. Port Adelaide easily won its qualifying final against Geelong, earning a home preliminary final. Port Adelaide made it through to its first AFL grand final after defeating St Kilda in a thrilling preliminary final by just six points with Gavin Wanganeen kicking the winning goal with a minute to go.
The following week Port Adelaide faced a highly fancied Brisbane side attempting to win a record-equalling fourth straight AFL premiership. Only one point separated the sides at half time, however late in the third quarter Port Adelaide took the ascendency to lead by 17 points at three-quarter time, and dominated the final term to [[2004 AFL Grand Final|win by 40 points]]: 17.11 (113) to 10.13 (73). [[Byron Pickett]] was awarded with the [[Norm Smith Medal]] after being judged the best player in the match, tallying 20 disposals and kicking three goals.

After missing the finals in 2006 Port Adelaide made a strong recovery in 2007, and with strong performances from midfielders [[Shaun Burgoyne]] and [[Chad Cornes]] and strong debut seasons from [[Justin Westhoff]], [[Robert Gray (Australian rules footballer)|Robert Gray]] and [[Travis Boak]], Port Adelaide finished the minor round second on the ladder with 15-7 record. Port Adelaide started their finals campaign against the [[West Coast Eagles]] at Football Park and won by three points. That win gave Port the bye, and they easily defeated the Kangaroos in the preliminary final to win by 87 points. This win delivered Port its second Grand Final berth in four years. However, in the [[2007 AFL Grand Final|grand final]] they were defeated by Geelong by an AFL record margin of 119 points, 24.19 (163) to Port Adelaide's 6.8 (44) in a crowd of 97,302.
The 2008 season was disappointing one for a Port Adelaide side keen to build on its 2007 grand final appearance, dropping to 13th on the ladder and out of the finals. By 2009 Port Adelaide had accumulated a consolidated debt totaling $5.1 million and was unable to pay its players; they had lost $1.4 million the season before.

The 2010 season would see [[Mark Williams (Australian footballer born 1958)|Mark Williams]] step down as senior coach marking the end of the Williams era for the club.

[[Matthew Primus]] took over as caretaker coach for Port Adelaide after [[Mark Williams (Australian footballer born 1958)|Mark Williams]] stood down.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6038/newsid/97958/default.aspx|title=Primu appointed – Official AFL website of the Port Adelaide Football Club |publisher=Portadelaidefc.com.au |date=11 July 2010 |accessdate=11 July 2010}}</ref> The club finished the 2010 season with five wins from its last seven games to finish tenth. On 9 September, [[Matthew Primus]] was appointed as the senior coach of the club for the next three years. The SANFL sought to take control of Port Adelaide in 2011. Despite underwriting $5 million of Port's debt in 2010, the takeover failed when the SANFL was unable to get a line of credit to cover Port Adelaide's future debts. The AFL announced it would underwrite $1.25 million in debt to protect its $1.25 billion television rights. AFL Chief executive [[Andrew Demetriou]], offered $9 million over the next three years to help the club, ahead of the move to the [[Adelaide Oval]]. The AFL gave the money to the SANFL with strict conditions that they give Port Adelaide three million dollars a year, for three years.<ref>{{Cite web|title = The official website of the Australian Football League - AFL.com.au|url = http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/122680/default.aspx|website = afl.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> Statistically, 2011 was Port Adelaide's worst season in 141 years, finishing 16th with only three wins from 22 games. Rounds 20 and 21 saw the club lose to {{AFL Col}} and [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] by record margins of 138 and 165 respectively. The 2012 season was marginally better but a loss against {{AFL GWS}} resulted in senior coach [[Matthew Primus]] stepping down. Assistant coach, [[Garry Hocking]], took over for the remaining four games, with a draw in the final round against {{AFL Ric}} the best result.
===2013–present: Ken Hinkley, Adelaide Oval return and independence ===
[[File:Adelaide Oval, 2014.jpg|thumb|250px|In 2014 Port Adelaide returned to Adelaide Oval as its home ground for the first time since 1976]]
On 8 October 2012, [[Ken Hinkley]] was announced as the new senior coach of the club. This marked the first time that the club had appointed someone not associated with the club before since [[Fos Williams]] in 1950. Television personality [[David Koch (television presenter)|David Koch]] was named chairman of the club and numerous board members were replaced. The 2013 preseason also saw [[Travis Boak]] succeed [[Domenic Cassisi]] as the captain of the club.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Boak to lead new era at Port Adelaide|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2013-01-30/boak-becomes-69th-captain|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The club finished the home and away season 7th on the ladder, making it the first time that they had qualified for the finals since 2007. Port travelled to Melbourne to play Collingwood at the MCG in an Elimination final where they won by 24 points; they then lost to Geelong by 16 points the following week.
The 2014 season saw both Port Adelaide and Adelaide move their home ground from Football Park to the redeveloped Adelaide Oval. Port Adelaide signed up a record 55,715 members for the 2014 season and averaged 44,429 at home games, a 65% increase from the previous year. Port Adelaide had its best first half of an AFL season, sitting first with ten wins from eleven matches. They then won only four of their remaining eleven matches to finish fifth on the ladder. They hosted Richmond in the elimination finals, kicking the first seven goals of the game and leading by as much as 87 points before recording a 57-point victory. After defeating {{AFL Fre}} in the semi-finals the club's 2014 season ended with a three-point loss to Hawthorn in the preliminary finals.
With great expectation Port Adelaide started the 2015 season playing all of the year's finalists in the opening 10 rounds and entered the mid-season break with a 5-7 record. The club had a better second half of the year, recording 7-3, but would miss out on finals by one win.
On 11 February 2016, the mens Port Adelaide Football Club merged with the Port Adelaide Women's Football Club.
==SANFL presence post AFL entry==
When the Port Adelaide Football Club entered the AFL, a new state league team was created to fill the void left by the club. The new club was now called the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club as opposed to the original counterpart, the Port Adelaide Football Club, playing in the national competition.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Australian Football - Port+Adelaide+Magpies Football Club - Bio|url = http://australianfootball.com/clubs/bio/Port%252BAdelaide%252BMagpies/318|website = australianfootball.com|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> On 20 August 2010, the "One Port Adelaide Football Club" movement was launched by former player [[Tim Ginever]] to merge the Port Adelaide Football Club and the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club as one club. A website was created that claimed 50,000 signatures were needed for the two entities to merge. On 15 November 2010, all nine SANFL clubs and agreed that the off-field merger between the two clubs would proceed.<ref>[http://onepafc.com.au/ Stop Press! One Club has been approved! See you at Alberton Oval at 11am Tuesday 16 November! #pafc]</ref><ref>[http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/one%20pafc/tabid/16808/default.aspx One PAFC – Official AFL Website of the Port Adelaide Football Club]</ref> On 10 September 2013, Port Adelaide and the SANFL agreed to a model to allow all its AFL-listed players (not selected to play for Port Adelaide in the AFL) to play for the club in the SANFL League competition. From 2015 onward, the club lost its recruiting zones and could no longer field sides in the junior SANFL competition. Port Adelaide subsequently started an Academy team composed of 18- to 22-year-olds.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Statement: Port Adelaide accepts SANFL invitation - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2013-09-10/statement-port-adelaide-accepts-sanfl-invitation|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref>
== Women's teams ==
The Port Adelaide Women's Football Club was founded in 2003 and competes in the [[South Australian Women's Football League]]. In 2016 the club merged with the men's club with the intention of further developing the game among women in the Port Adelaide area and South Australia more generally.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Port Adelaide to field women's team in 2016 with big grassroots committment [sic]- portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2016-02-11/womens-footy-port-adelaide-to-field-female-team-in-2016|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|access-date = 2016-02-19}}</ref>
==Club symbols and identity==
===Guernsey===
The Port Adelaide Football Club won 32 grand finals in the "Wharf Pylon" [[Guernsey (Australian Rules Football)|guernsey]] in addition to the Champions of Australia three times. Due to the fact that AFL club Collingwood were already using the magpie emblem and "Magpies" nickname, Port Adelaide was requested by the AFL to simply find a new nickname and logo to avoid a clash.<ref>h{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article122301794 |title=Premier SA club plans AFL move. |newspaper=[[The Canberra Times]] |date=1 August 1990 |accessdate=18 March 2015 |page=38 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref> However, after the unsuccessful 1990 bid, Collingwood successfully lobbied the AFL to force Port Adelaide to change not only its logo and nickname but also its guernsey and colours. In 1995, a new guernsey was created incorporating teal.
In May 2007 chief executive John James stated that Port Adelaide received more correspondence from its supporters about the heritage guernsey than all other issues and that the club would "fight for its heritage and what is right". Port Adelaide decided not to participate in the 2006 heritage round when the AFL declined the club's 1980s guernsey for its 80s-themed heritage round.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2007-05-01/club-statement-re-heritage-guernsey|title= Club statement re: heritage guernsey|date=1 May 2007}}</ref>
In 2007 the club was waiting for confirmation from the AFL that it could wear its 1970s' "Wharf Pylon" guernsey for a match against the [[Western Bulldogs]] and wanted confirmation it would be able to continue to honour its heritage in any future heritage rounds. On 14 May 2007 the AFL and Port Adelaide reached an agreement whereby the club could wear its traditional guernsey in the heritage round, with the proviso that in future seasons its players can only wear it in home heritage round games and provided that such a game is not against Collingwood.<ref>. [http://portadelaidefc.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArticle/tabid/6038/Default.aspx?newsId=43168 "Port Adelaide to wear Black and White"] from the Official AFL Website of the Port Adelaide Football Club. Retrieved 14 May 2007.</ref> No heritage rounds have been held since this agreement was reached.

I'll say that for a start."|[[Leigh Matthews]] during a discussion regarding Port Adelaide's traditional guernsey during the 2014 Elimination Final.<ref>Leigh Matthews, 2014 AFL Elimination Final – Port Adelaide vs Richmond, Channel 7.</ref>}}
Support for the guernsey remains extremely high with a limited batch of jumpers raising over $400,000 for the club for the one off game against Carlton in 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Port to farewell AAMI in prison bars - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2013-04-23/port-to-farewell-aami-in-prison-bars|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-10-16}}</ref> The most recent instance of the club trying to wear its traditional guernsey was in celebration of 100 years since its 1914 Championship of Australia.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/port-adelaide-denied-opportunity-to-wear-heritage-jumper-at-first-friday-night-match-at-adelaide-oval/story-fnia6ojc-1226991287562|title = Port Adelaide denied opportunity to wear heritage jumper at first friday night match at Adelaide Oval|date = July 16, 2014|accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = Rucci|first = Michelangelo}}</ref> The AFL denied the club the right.

===Club songs===
The AFL side's victory song is "Power to Win", written for the club by Quentin Eyers and [[Cold Chisel#Band members|Les Kaczmarek]].
The SANFL side's victory song is "Cheer, Cheer the Black and the White", to the tune of "[[Victory March (fight song)|Notre Dame Victory March]]".
===="Never Tear Us Apart"====
Since March 2014, Port Adelaide has used "[[Never Tear Us Apart]]" by the Australian band [[INXS]] as the club's unofficial anthem leading up to the opening bounce at its new home of Adelaide Oval. The song is used as a reference to the various and unique difficulties the club faced when trying to enter the AFL.
Port Adelaide's use of the song stemmed from a trip the club took to Anfield in November 2012 while they were in England to play an exhibition match against the Western Bulldogs.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref> In light of the very positive reviews given by the club's players towards the Anfield crowd's rendition of "[[You'll Never Walk Alone]]", Matthew Richardson, Port's general manager of marketing and consumer business, along with the club's management, sought to replicate the pre-match experience they experienced at Anfield. At a meeting in mid-2013, the idea of an anthem was raised; a number of various songs were suggested, including "[[Power and the Passion (song)|Power and the Passion]]" by [[Midnight Oil]] and "Power to the People" by [[John Schumann]]. Eventually, "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS was suggested by Port Adelaide's events manager, Tara MacLeod. It was eventually accepted, due to the fact that the song resonated with the club's history.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref>
Initially the song was introduced to coincide with the 60-second countdown before the start of a match, with the music playing over the top of a video montage. The song proved to be a success among the fans, with them adopting the song as well as raising scarves above their heads as the song was being sung.<ref name="Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval" group=1>{{cite web|last1=McGuire|first1=Michael|title=Liverpool brings its football and its famous song to Adelaide Oval|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/sa-lifestyle/liverpool-brings-its-football-and-its-famous-song-to-adelaide-oval/story-fnizi7vf-1227445756428|website=The Advertiser|publisher=News Corporation|accessdate=19 July 2015}}</ref> So successful was the song that by June 2014, the club were forced to print club coloured scarves with the words "Never Tear Us Apart" on them that fans would hold aloft and sing in unison prior to the start of matches.
===Home grounds===
On 15 May 1880, Port Adelaide played its first match at Alberton Oval. In 1881 the decision was made by the club to start leasing the oval from the Port Adelaide Council for the sum of 10 shillings a year. Situated at the eastern end of the suburb of Alberton in Adelaide, the playing surface is surrounded by the Allan Scott club headquarters, the Robert B. Quinn MM Stand, the Fos Williams Family Stand, the Port Adelaide Bowling Club and the N.L. Williams Scoreboard. As well as the facilities facing the oval, along Queen Street there is The Port Club and The Port Store.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/alberton%20oval/tabid/8097/default.aspx |title=Alberton Oval – Official AFL website of the Port Adelaide Football Club |publisher=Portadelaidefc.com.au |accessdate=14 June 2010}}</ref>

==Supporters==
The Port Adelaide Football Club has historically drawn its supporter base in and around historical working class [[Port Adelaide]]. However, this support has spread to many coastal locations in Adelaide (from [[Outer Harbor, South Australia|Outer Harbour]] down to [[West Beach, South Australia|West Beach]]), in much of the inner-Western suburbs, throughout the North-Eastern suburbs in [[City of Campbelltown (South Australia)|Campbelltown]] and [[City of Tea Tree Gully|Tea Tree Gully]], in many of the Southern suburbs (such as [[Aberfoyle Park]] and [[Flagstaff Hill, South Australia|Flagstaff Hill]]), as well as throughout the [[Adelaide Hills]] and country South Australia.
After historically being the largest football club in South Australia, Port Adelaide has reemerged as one of the largest sporting organisations in Australia, with over 60,000 members and an average attendance nearing 45,000 in 2015.
===Supporter groups===
Port Adelaide has many [[supporter groups]], with every state or territory containing at least one supporter group. In addition, many country towns within South Australia have their own supporter group, many of which travel to both home and away games.<ref>{{cite web|title = Port Adelaide Supporter Groups - portadelaidefc.com.au|url = http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/supporters/official-supporter-groups|website = portadelaidefc.com.au|accessdate = 2015-07-11}}</ref>
