In a rather devisive move the Ravens are wearing the state kit against the power in round 2!!
Like to hear from our Adelaide Bulldog contingent.
Pretty ordinary to be honest

Deliberately provocative - but the AFL allowing it is as big an issue
Western Bulldogs: 2016 Premiers
Completely agree with the Power on this one. Half the Adelaide team are non-South Australian!!
LinkThe Port Adelaide Football Club is surprised and disappointed that the Adelaide Crows would choose to wear a replica guernsey based on the traditional South Australian state guernsey in the first Showdown at the Adelaide Oval.
Port Adelaide considers this an iconic jumper and respects the feats of the many South Australian greats who have worn this guernsey with such pride over so many years.
Port Adelaide believes this is not about club versus club, Port Adelaide versus the Crows. The State guernsey rises well above both our football clubs. It is a guernsey that is sacred and most significantly has always been earned by only the best representative players in our proud football state.
Our club’s current and former South Australian born players are disappointed by the Crows’ decision. This guernsey is intrinsic and sacrosanct to South Australian footballers and it should be protected at all times.
The Crows have stated they are wearing the guernsey “to celebrate South Australian football”. Port Adelaide finds this reasoning peculiar given that wearing it in a Showdown will actually divide the state. This guernsey is a symbol of South Australian football unification, not division.
Ridiculous decision by Adelaide and I think the AFL should stop it.
Commonsense finally prevailed in this.
Talk about red rag to a bull, and couldn't believe Adelaide's arrogance on this.
Wow I didnt realise that the AFL had already given it the green light. Mind boggling.
As a proud South Australian I was seething of the arrogance of the crows, and in particular Nigel Smart. Glad that it won't go ahead now
How can they publish this tripe?
