In 1990, The Port Adelaide Football Club attempted to join the AFL but failed to gain a majority vote from the other AFL clubs. The clubs actions divided football in Adelaide, as Port Adelaide had earlier agreed with the other 9 SANFL clubs that joining the AFL should not be explored. This attempt to join the AFL forced the SANFL's hand and the Adelaide Crows were formed to represent a South Australian presence in the AFL, two years ahead of plan, at Port Adelaide's expense. The club continued in its attempt to join the AFL, and in 1995 The Port Adelaide Football Club registered itself as a corporation and were given approval by the AFL to join that league. It did this in the 1997 season. The members of the SANFL club, as a result of a SANFL edict[citation needed], voted that a Port Adelaide entity still remain in the local league. The vote was unanimous, that as the PAFC was no longer to be part of the SANFL, the league should change registration of the club to represent it locally and the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club name was born out of this meeting[citation needed]. The PAMFC now maintain a Port based tradition in the state league.
