[edit] Someone is trying to alter history

Someone thought it was funny to enter the name 'Daniel Lawson' as Bronlow medalist for 2006-2009, as well as centre-half forward in the Team of the Decade (who I am pretty sure is meant to be Matty Robran). I removed the Bronlow Medal addition, but haven't fixed the team of the decade as I am not 100% sure if it is robran.

[edit] RE: Club Jumpers in finals

I thought I would add a piece about the club jumpers and their use in finals. I wrote the section used on the page, and wrote that the home jumper was generally used in all finals. This was recently changed so that the home jumper said "used in all home finals" and the away said "used in all away finals".

To my recollection, I can only ever remember us wearing an away jumper in a final once - the 2005 Prelim Final v West Coast. Any other away final we have still worn our home jumper. I had written it using the term "generally" as obviously if we were to play away to a clash team then i guess we would wear our clash jumper. But, generally speaking we do wear our normal home jumper. I have changed it back, but If anybody can prove to me that the club will now always wear their away jumper in all away finals, then i am willing for it to be changed. Cheers, Seth Cohen 10:42, 8 May 2007 (UTC).

Just adding to this, I have since re-written it and it was changed back again. One away final again in 2007 hardly constitutes that it will be worn at all away finals. When the away jumper was first slated in 1999, the club said that they would continue to wear the regular home jumper in all finals. They didn't in 2005 against West Coast - they wore the away jumper which at the time was predominately red - so as to avoid a potential clash with West Coast. For some strange reason this year (2007) the AFL forced us to wear our clash jumper against Hawthorn. I am still confident however that unless there is a clash, we will wear our home jumper in all finals whether they be at home or away. I still invite evidence to prove to me that this will not be the case. Until then, please leave as is. Cheers, Seth Cohen 14:13, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Adelaide90s.png

I found Image:Adelaide90s.png and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I removed him from the list of Famous Fans. I think being a former player disqualifies him. -- Karldoh 11:57, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] future delistings

[edit] Crows Are Chokers

I think we should add a section to explain that the crows are chokers, and the fact that when they won their two grand finals it was under the old final structure.


We should also add that they have never lost a Grand Final by 119 points. In fact, they've never lost a Grand Final.

[edit] The Shed

The shed is owned by the SANFL, Alberton Oval is worth 100 million dollars and house's Allen Scott Stadium which contains Port Power's own 1 million dollar gay bar, Complete with a queer day spa. Port Power has more retards than the Crow's. I hear the SANFL is going to put up the crow's rent next year. Annually Port Adelaide make more people laugh at their lack of ability (they lost a grand final by 139 points roflmaololmg) and lack of inteligence than the Crow's due to sales from the SANFL games it hosts at their gay bar.

[edit] Crows's Supporters

Crow's supporter's have no credibility and often resort to calling Port supporters Feral's or Working Class citizens. Where as all people I have employed from Elizabeth are all Crow's supporters. Crows supporter's will often point out the fact that they have 50 thousand member's and Port only have 38 thousand. This number of 50 thousand is actually very low considering the population of Adelaide (1.1 million). And are often NOT member's themselves. I only say this however because I'm a biassed dumshit Port fan and don't know what I'm talking about, cause I'm a dickhead.

[edit] Song

Am I correct in thinking that: a) the original club song was something that started with the line "Here we go, here we go Camry Crows" (!); b) that Greg Champion rewrote the song sometime in the mid-nineties to its present form, presumably because he hated the first version so much (certainly have to check that); and c) that the version of the song played at AFL grounds is also sung by Champion? Just trying to get a bit of history correct. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 23:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

1) Yeah, that song was the first song 2) The song was rewritten because it was no longer accurate - it had lines such as 'we're the new boys with so much to show' etc., and with Freo entering the comp, we were no longer the new boys, so someone - not sure who - was commissioned to write a new song with new music, and had nothing to do with liking/disliking the original (which I view as far better as the original). 3) No idea!

[edit] Club Jumpers

Can I just point out after a recent edit said that the clash jumper is worn more often now than the away jumper, that the comment was completely untrue. Firstly, this edit was made after the round 11 game against Richmond. To that point in the season, in five away matches, the away jumper had been worn twice, the clash twice, and the home once. The away jumper was redesigned for the purpose of limiting usage of the clash jumper. This information is already there in the article. A quick look at the fixture suggests that it is unlikely the clash jumper will be worn again this season.

The other part of the edit reffered to jumper usage in finals. I would like to direct you to a section above regarding jumper use in finals. I am still yet to have anybody show any hard evidence that all away finals will feature either the away or clash jumpers. Since the away jumper was introduced in 1999 (and subsequent clash introduction in 2006), only two of seven away finals have featured an alternate guernsey. I feel this stat shows that as a general rule, the main home hooped design will be worn in all finals, unless there is a clash.

Obviously I have reverted this edit. Sorry to be forceful on this issue, but obviously we want to have the information as accurate as possible. The statistics shown (and included in the article) effectively show the use of jumpers. Cheers, Seth Cohen (talk) 13:02, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
