Port Adelaide Football Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | In 1990, Port Adelaide attempted to enter a team in the AFL (the national competition of Australian Rules) but was stymied by legal action taken by the nine other SANFL clubs, which resulted in the formation of the Adelaide Crows, a new club, entering the AFL. |
 | | Port Adelaide eventually entered the AFL in 1997, using the nickname "Power" (derived from the Torrens Island Power Station, located in Port Adelaide, which provides power for Adelaide), and inspiring an intense home-town rivalry with the Crows. |
 | | The intra-city rivalry is caricatured to be partly socioeconomic, with the strongly working-class Power contrasted with the middle-class Crows, a rivalry reminiscent of Port Adelaide's relationship with its SANFL foes. |
