 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Matthew Primus
Primus began his career with the Fitzroy Football Club in what was to be their final season in the AFL.
The Fitzroy Football Club, latterly known as the Lions, was formed in 1883 and was a foundation member club of the Victorian Football League on its inception in 1897.
After finishing 2nd in Fitzroy's 1996 Best and Fairest and 2nd in Port Adelaide's 1997 Best and Fairest, Primus had established himself as one of the game's top ruckmen, but his close losses in the Best and Fairest counts would be a pointer to the bad luck he would face later in his career.

 The story of the Crows - realfooty.com.au
The state had long produced footballers and sporting teams the equal of any and given that football was South Australia's most passionately played, intensely followed and madly loved sport, conquering the AFL was an expected progression.
Because the seed for their AFL existence germinated from Port Adelaide's failed rebel bid to join the national league, the Crows originally drew from the supporter base of nine of the 10 SANFL clubs, and still have the larger of the two South Australian AFL supporter bases.
It helps that elitism remains a massive part of South Australian culture and, given that it is a state that demands you follow a football team, the Crows remain the safe default club for those who would rather associate with a middle-class, tertiary-educated, wine-appreciating stereotype, than the aggressive, working-class image of Port Adelaide.

 Australian Sports Foundation - Who we can help - ASF Case Studies - Port Adelaide Football Club Foundation Ltd
The Headquarters are now in use and Sean Kirchner, Manager of the PAFC Foundation set up as a separate company from the Club itself, says that it is ‘one of the finest training rehabilitation and administration facilities in the Southern Hemisphere’.
In the fundraising campaign for Part I, the PAFC focussed on key donors using, Sean Kirchner said, the ‘80/20 principle, where 80% of the funds are donated by 20% of supporters’.
While raising large amounts obviously helps achieve the Club’s goal, Sean Kirchner said that it was equally satisfying for the Club to have the successful ‘paver’ campaign where supporters donated $100 and were recognised by a paver used in the surrounds of the Allan Scott Power Headquarters, inscribed with their choice of words.
