YEARBOOK 2014 7

A DEFINING YEAR DAVID KOCH CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

“The true magic of 2014 lies in the strength of our club community.

This year has truly demonstrated how powerful a united Port Adelaide community can be.”

A YEAR IT W HAT has been.

I think we all agree 2014 has been an incredible ride and I assure you the exciting journey has more to come.

And then we learned the tragic news that we had lost much-loved player John McCarthy on an end-of-season trip in the United States.

Without doubt, when we all draw breath and reflect on 2014, it will go down as one of the most significant and defining years in the history of this magnificent football club.

While John’s passing rightly dwarfed our other off-field issues, these were indeed some of the most challenging times imaginable.

Sure, there have been many other years in our past – 37 to be precise - when we have raised silverware at the conclusion of a season.

This year, in both the AFL and SANFL, we fell agonisingly short of the ultimate prize and of course we are a club which, by our mission statement, Exists To Win Premierships and Make Our Community Proud.

Those outside our community might therefore question why this year was so significant.

To fully understand the club’s remarkable achievements in 2014, we must pause and reflect on where we have come from in recent times.

As painful as it is, allow me to take you back to this time in 2012.

On-field, we finished with just five wins at 14th on the ladder in an 18-team AFL competition.

In the SANFL, we finished with seven wins and in seventh position in a nine-team competition.

The fallout from this poor on-field performance sparked ramifications across the football department and the board of directors.

Off-field our supporters were disenfranchised.

Our average AFL home attendance had fallen below 20,000 for the time in our history and our average national television audience was firmly in the bottom quartile of the competition.

Financially, our club was heavily in the red, reliant on handouts and struggling for survival.

National media commentators questioned our relevance in the AFL, while influential external brand and marketing people called for our club

8 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

to change its name and distance ourselves from our history and heartland.

Those times seem so long ago, but in reality only 24 months have passed.

That’s what makes 2014 so significant.

Together, we have built on the platform set in 2013 and achieved such extraordinary results that 2012 does seem a lifetime ago.

The true magic of 2014 lies in the strength of our club community.

This year has demonstrated how powerful the entire Port Adelaide community is and can continue to be when it is fully united.

The revival of our club has never been about one person or a small group of people.

It’s not about me and Keith or Kenny and Boaky.

It’s about all of us, our members, supporters, club partners, board, staff and volunteers, players and coaches, pulling together in one direction.

If we stay true to ourselves we will never plumb to the depths of 2012 again. Never.

To demonstrate why 2014 will go down as one of the most significant years in Port Adelaide’s history lets look at where we are now.

Fully integrated football program I am proud of our fight to retain the club’s stake in the South Australian National Football League with our traditional emblem and guernsey.

For several years we have referred to the ‘One Club’ strategy that helped us bring the Power and Magpies together in 2010, but there was a very real threat to our local league existence during 2013.

It was a battle we had to have and we were not prepared to lose. We were always going to protect our intrinsic links to our community and the heritage of our club.

The result was a fully integrated football program that, for the first time since 1996, saw every Port Adelaide player running out for our club in the AFL and wearing our heritage black-and-white jumper in the SANFL. The outcome was that our AFL team played in a preliminary final and our SANFL team competed in the grand final.

In the AFL, the Power competed in consecutive finals series for the first time since 2004 and 2005, and the preliminary final reached was our first since 2007.

From an SANFL perspective, we claimed our 44th minor premiership to qualify for our first finals appearance since 2008 and first grand final since 1999.

For the first time, Port Adelaide players in both leagues have enjoyed a meaningful, uninhibited connection.

Our AFL, SANFL and new Academy squads share training facilities and Magpies players receive a direct link to our AFL program.

AFL coach Ken Hinkley invited the 15 ‘Magpiescontracted’ players into team and pre-game meetings at the Adelaide Oval and it was great to see our entire AFL team wearing their black-and-white guernseys to support their teammates in the SANFL Grand Final.

The ‘One Club’ mission has been realised and now exists in a pure and tangible form.

Our ability to uphold our heritage and traditional values in a bold and brave new world of elite football through our passionate supporters and community was reflected by several other off-field achievements.

Membership In 2014, we achieved a club record membership total of 55,750 - up 33% on last year’s previous benchmark of 42,000.

This equates to a staggering 90% increase in members since the end of 2010.

For the second year in a row, our members are rated as the most engaged in the AFL, according to an independent university study conducted for the AFL by SHAPE Research.

This is significant and we thank you once again for your highly-valued support and commitment.

Attendances Again, thanks to your commitment, we averaged the fourth-highest AFL home attendance of 44,364, a significant 65 per cent

increase on 2013 and up an extraordinary 122 per cent on 2012.

As an extension of this, we currently hold the three highest AFL attendances at the Adelaide Oval including a massive 52,505 against Carlton in Round 22, which is the highest ever crowd to any AFL game in South Australia minor or major round.

Let’s not forget the SANFL Grand Final which saw a crowd of 38,644 witness a classic Port Adelaide-v-Norwood battle.

This was the highest attended SANFL Grand Final since our last appearance back in 1999.

TV audiences From a national television perspective, we enjoyed a game average audience of 477,238 up 27% from 2013.

Outside of the AFL Grand Final, our thrilling preliminary final against Hawthorn delivered the highest-rating AFL match of the year on Channel Seven, with a combined national peak of over 1.9 million viewers.

A week earlier, our dramatic victory over Fremantle in the semi final fired Channel Seven to its biggest ever prime time nightly win – a massive 57.4% combined share – in Adelaide, beating the previous record that had stood since 1998.

In the SANFL, the Magpies featured in the top-three most-watched minor round SANFL games on television this year and while nearly 40,000 attended the SANFL Grand Final at the Adelaide Oval, the game was viewed by a massive average television audience of 129,000 on Channel Seven.

Never before in the rich history of our football club are more people attending our games or watching us on television.

That is because we are playing exciting and thrilling football - we’re putting the fun back into footy.

Channel Seven has described us as the most watchable team in the AFL and this has been evidenced not just by our game viewership but the ‘highlights reel’ football that we strive to play which has seen Chad Wingard take out the AFL’s Mark of the Year award and Matt White claim the AFL Goal of the Year in 2014.

Adelaide Oval and the game day experience Although the journey back home to the Adelaide Oval seemed never ending, I’m sure you’ll agree it felt like home once we returned, as though we’d never left.

Just as we did last century when our club won 20 SANFL premierships at the ground, we made the Adelaide Oval our own through many exciting initiatives.

First, given he strangely received no ‘naming’ recognition around the Oval at its original unveiling, we seized the opportunity to honour club legend Geof Motley by christening our players’ race after him.

Geof won an extraordinary nine premierships at the Adelaide Oval and was captain-coach in 1959 when we won our national record sixth consecutive premiership.

I know our players, led by Travis Boak, love nothing more than running out of a race dedicated to one of our all-time greats.

Second, it was imperative to thank you, our loyal members, for joining us on our journey back to the Adelaide Oval.

This manifested itself in the simple gift of a teal ‘We Will Never, Ever, Give Up’ tee shirt for supporters for the first game against the Crows.

It is great to see so many still proudly wearing them to games and events.

That first Showdown was extraordinary for so many reasons (especially the result) and another wonderful game day initiative that emerged was our March from the Mall.

Since we first marched on the MCG in Round 1, 2013, we have been blown away by the speed with which our marches have grown.

For every home game this season, an average of 5,000 supporters marched from Rundle Mall, across the foot bridge and into the Southern Plaza of the Oval where they have been greeted by colour, noise and music.

And then of course there is ‘Never Tear Us Apart’. Since that first game at the Adelaide Oval it has quickly evolved into a pre-game ritual for our supporters to stand up, hold their scarf high and sing along to the INXS classic.

It is the first time a club has claimed this double since Brisbane achieved it in 2002.

Our special ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ scarves have been our biggest single selling merchandise product this year.

There have been many wonderful highlights on-field in 2014 which should make us all stand tall and look confidently toward the future.

We sold more than 8000 in three months with a further 8000 pre-sale orders already taken for next year.

Off-field, 2014 has been one of enormous change and significance for our club as well.

The song itself resonates so strongly with all of us because it reflects the unity at the heart of our club.

YEARBOOK 2014 9

We are a completely united club in the AFL and SANFL now.

All of our players play and train exclusively for our football club and we’ll never be torn apart or divided again.

Within the blink of an eye it has become our club’s public statement of unity.

Independence

For many of those same supporters to travel back home to watch the club play in the SANFL Grand Final the following day is an extraordinary commitment.

Second, I thank the entire playing group led by Travis Boak for their amazing efforts this year.

Again, they lived up to our club’s promise to never, ever give up and lifted when hope seemed lost time and again.

Finally, I extend a massive thanks to all the partners, spouses and families of our on and off-field team.

Whether we be player, coach, volunteer or staff member, we ask much of our partners, spouses, parents and children, and this impacts heavily on families.

To the families of this football club, your support does not go unnoticed and we thank you for your tireless contribution to our club.

Our significant year got off to a strong start in March, when we achieved full independence from the SANFL.

The brand of football they played was simply exhilarating.

It means the state league no longer owns our AFL licence.

Similarly, I acknowledge the great efforts of our coaches, led by Ken Hinkley and Shaun Hart.

There is still plenty of work before us - our journey continues, but it is still in its early stages.

Their football knowledge and experience, coupled with their man-management and communication skills, are enabling our other coaches to develop rapidly.

We will not stop even when we climb to the top of that mountain.

This important change cannot be underestimated for it provides a number of clear benefits.

No longer will we answer to two bosses.

The agenda of an AFL club is often at odds with what the SANFL is looking to achieve in its own competition.

With both AFL clubs in Adelaide now fully independent, there is a real sense of delineation between the AFL and the SANFL. No longer will there be a blurring of the lines.

We are appreciative of the support and relationship we have had with the SANFL since we stepped up into the AFL in 1997, but change needed to be made for the betterment of football in this state.

Thanks It has been a big year and now you understand what I mean when I say it will go down as one of the most significant in our club’s history.

Of course, years like this don’t just happen by chance and there are so many people to thank for making 2014 so extraordinary.

First, I reiterate my thanks to you, our passionate members, for underpinning the Port Adelaide community - the support you show the club continues to amaze.

You have helped us achieve record membership and home game attendances, and you are the absolute cornerstone of our Adelaide Oval experience.

Your participation in the March from the Mall and your ownership of ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ has been enormous.

The noise you make at our games is inspiring and helps drive our players to victory.

Who will forget the commitment of our members and supporters during the finals?

Football has never seen such a show of force than when Port Adelaide’s army marched en masse to the MCG for our preliminary final.

That then flows to our playing group and is reflected by the football they play.

Well done to our high performance team led

by Darren Burgess for preparing our players superbly - our ability to finish games in style was a true reflection of the outstanding program they have put in place.

I also thank my fellow directors along with the entire staff and volunteers who make up our club.

As chairman, I work with an extremely dedicated group of directors who are focussed and committed to making a significant difference and improving this football club.

Similarly, I acknowledge the efforts of our administration staff who perform brilliantly year in, year out.

They all work extremely hard and on behalf of the board, I extend my thanks and appreciation for the long hours they work to ensure the club is as successful as it can be.

Conclusion

Despite this year’s disappointments, always remind yourself of our growth as a club and our renewed relevance in the national game.

Our mission statement is clear: We Exist To Win Premierships and Make Our Community Proud.

Our mission is therefore incomplete.

I’ll finish with the following quote from commentator Gerard Whateley, which summarises our club’s growth since the challenges of 2012: “The story of Port Adelaide is beyond a transformation now. It’s bordering on a revolution. More than the mere renaissance of a club, it’s become a cultural movement in football.”

“The creeping influence of Port Adelaide is shattering presumptions, perceptions and conventions. Challenging established thinking and accepted truths.

“It’s a triumph of spirit and will that has spread through style and substance.

I reserve special praise for our chief executive Keith Thomas, who has put in another colossal effort this year.

“Through a willingness to innovate and promote, Port Adelaide has seismically shifted the natural order.”

Keith has negotiated several critical, big ticket items for the club this season and he has represented Port Adelaide brilliantly despite the unrelenting pressure and workload.

We’ll keep doing everything we can to make you proud to be a Port Adelaide member and that includes leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of the ultimate success.

I reserve a special praise for our volunteers.

It’s a long climb up the mountain, but I know you’ll be with us each step of the way.

They are the lifeblood of our day-to-day operations, from the team in the property room, to Dad’s Army who help clean and maintain Alberton Oval, to the ladies who prepare the players’ meals in the kitchen and everyone in between, you all do an incredible job and are an integral part of our club’s fabric and culture.

It will be fun, exciting and we will experience the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows.

That’s footy, that’s the nature of the game, but as a community we are up for the battle.

Thanks for your continued support and I can’t wait to see you at the Adelaide Oval or Alberton again in 2015.

YEARBOOK 2014 11

FROM THE CEO KEITH THOMAS CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT

“The connection and engagement we have reached as a community is our most significant achievement of the past three years... it is fast becoming the envy of many other clubs in the AFL...”

I

The addition of Voss is enormous for our midfield group and entire coaching group.

It’s been a fantastic year to be a Port Adelaide member and your reciprocal support of the club has been incredible.

Just think how much our midfielders will benefit from the one-on-one tutelage of one of the game’s greatest midfielders.

As I have said on numerous occasions, the connection and engagement we have reached as a community is our most significant achievement of the past three years.

Adding fresh ideas and experience to our existing coaching group will only serve to continue the development of Matthew Nicks, Tyson Edwards and Josh Carr in key assistant roles.

’M SURE YOU’LL AGREE the club has taken enormous strides in 2014.

It is becoming the envy of many other clubs.

As compelling as our journey has been over the past two seasons, one thing is certain - nobody will be underestimating Port Adelaide in 2015.

So the hard work begins again, both on and off the field.

This is a tough competition, the AFL doesn’t stop and wait for anyone.

As a club we must strive to improve and do things better to simply return to where we finished this season.

While discussing our football program, I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge our departing general manager of football Peter Rohde for his extraordinary contribution to our football club over the last 10 years.

I personally thank Peter for the support he has provided me since I commenced here in late 2011.

I know Ken Hinkley and his coaching team are leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of sustained success.

Peter joined the club just after the 2004 flag and oversaw a significant period of change.

Off-field, we are working on a number of important initiatives that will set Port Adelaide on a path to sustained success.

While players, coaches and administrators came and went, Peter remained the constant that held our football department together.

Our key focus areas for 2015 will be to:

He has overseen just about everything including recruiting, list management, player contracts and matters of integrity.

Continue to improve our football program We will continue to invest in our football department.

Port Adelaide will always be one of the most cost-efficient AFL clubs, but it is important we don’t fall behind when it comes to innovation, excellence and recruiting great people.

Port Adelaide is now an employer of choice and we are very proud of this.

Our swift appointment of former Brisbane premiership captain and Brownlow Medallist Michael Voss as our midfield manager was early evidence of this and it was reinforced by Patrick Ryder’s post-season desire to join our club ahead of a number of other suitors.

12 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Our team took another significant step forward in 2014 and we will continue to support them in their quest to deliver elite on-field performance, results and coaching excellence.

No one at the club or the McCarthy family will forget Peter’s effort to assist after John’s tragic passing in September 2012.

Peter has done it all and, as he leaves our club after 10 years of wonderful service, be assured he leaves the club in a terrific position.

He will always be part of the Port Adelaide family.

Continue to strengthen our financial position We have spoken at length about the achievements of season 2014 - record membership, attendances, merchandise sales, the introduction of a new joint major partner in

EnergyAustralia and many other very pleasing partnerships either commenced or were strengthened.

The overall financial impact of these important advancements is that the club’s total revenue position improved by $9.5 million in two years, albeit we were coming off a pretty low base and still have a long way to go.

We are doing more than simply rebuilding the football team, we are growing the club.

This requires investment and innovative thinking in areas such as the game day experience at the Adelaide Oval.

We could have easily rolled into this new venue, spent very little and hoped for your support.

Instead, we set out to create an environment that would blow away our supporters and all those visiting.

Our thinking was for the future, we don’t want to fall victim to the so-called ‘honeymoon period’ and watch our crowds slowly diminish after the novelty of the new ground wears off.

We see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the way AFL football is presented.

It is an investment in the future that we are prepared to keep making and we are pleased the industry looks set to follow our lead to place greater importance on supporter engagement.

That’s why the Adelaide Oval review is so critical.

Football at the elite level is demanding and success is expensive.

To remain highly competitive on-field and a market leader off-field, our return for effort at the Adelaide Oval must be fair.

South Australian football has a golden opportunity to establish the best overall football structure in Australia through this review, it is so important that we get it right.

At the time of publication, the Adelaide Oval review process is still incomplete.

Our 2014 financial result will be influenced by

the outcome of the review, and therefore we are unable to provide further detail at this stage.

Establish a benchmark Academy structure We were extremely pleased with the development of our integrated football program in 2014.

Our appearance in our first SANFL League Grand Final since 1999 was a heartening result and a significant improvement on recent years.

The way all sides (AFL, SANFL, Academy and Under-18s) worked together to give the best possible opportunity for every player at our club is a credit to our coaches Ken Hinkley, Garry Hocking, Jacob Surjan and Mark Clayton.

From season 2015, we lose our traditional junior structure.

This will be replaced by an exciting, innovative scholarship program to be headed by former SANFL captain and centre of excellence coach Mark Clayton.

It will provide up to 100 of South Australia’s most talented young players the chance to learn what it takes to be an elite footballer.

With access to Port Adelaide’s high performance facilities, coaches and players, the scholarship program will provide an invaluable new dimension to the development of players between 15 and 18 years of age.

For 2015, we envisage the scholarship program will consist of four unique groups: metropolitan, country, father/son and the already established and successful SASSTA AFL Aboriginal Academy.

We are embracing this new era for our club.

Continue to broaden our national brand A key pillar to ensure our growth was to broaden our national appeal.

From a media perspective, our national profile grew significantly with comprehensive coverage on a variety of national platforms including Fox Footy, Channel Seven, The Age, The Herald Sun and the AFL website.

Looking ahead to 2015 we are glad Channel Seven will broadcast at least nine of our games

on free-to-air national television including standalone blockbusters against Sydney, Collingwood and Hawthorn.

From a corporate sense, the backing of multinational companies Renault and EnergyAustralia has been significant and we will continue to broaden our corporate appeal in 2015 by continuing our highly-successful Business Advisory Luncheons.

In June, we hosted our second Sydney Business Advisory Luncheon where 310 people packed the Ivy Ballroom in the heart of the nation’s biggest city - brilliant for the profile of our club.

One Sydney Swans official noted it was an incredible turnout given they regularly struggle to fill a room of 300 in Sydney.

Of course, this great turnout was only a few weeks after we held our first Business Advisory Luncheon in Hong Kong, which had over 200 people in attendance.

We finished the year with a highly successful joint venture with Collingwood in August where 600 people joined us at the MCG. We look forward to holding another Sydney Business Advisory Luncheon for our game against the Swans in early July 2015.

A week later we’ll be hosting Collingwood and its president Eddie McGuire in Adelaide for our second joint luncheon ahead of our first Thursday night clash at the Adelaide Oval.

Think of what the Collingwood travelling party will bring to the local economy!

Continue to build on our Chinese strategy Central to our Hong Kong business luncheon earlier this year was our overall strategy to build our profile in China with a view to exploring commercial and membership opportunities.

Over a year ago, Port Adelaide and the Hong Kong Football Club (HKFC) signed a groundbreaking reciprocal membership arrangement whereby HKFC members can receive complimentary tickets to our games at the Adelaide Oval.

YEARBOOK 2014 13

Port Adelaide sees this as a way to help deliver the AFL’s charter to grow the game internationally, while also providing the Australian expatriate community in Hong Kong an authentic football connection for them and their families.

The club hosted 50 children from the Hong Kong Auskick competition plus their families – a travelling party of over 200 people – as part of our Round 16 game at the Adelaide Oval.

Our commitment was highlighted by our sponsorship of Team China to ensure it could compete in the AFL International Cup in August.

Without our financial support, they simply would have been unable to participate.

Port Adelaide is forever committed to its local community, but is ambitious and now plays a bigger game nationally and globally.

The club sees the Asia region as a great fit for this ambition and we will continue to explore opportunities there in 2015 with a view of playing an AFL game in China for premiership points as early as 2016.

Establish a High Performance Academy with the University of South Australia Earlier this year we entered a high performance partnership with the University of South Australia centred on research and education in elite sport, with a view to establishing a pilot program in 2015 and a Masters in High Performance in 2016.

Our goal is for Port Adelaide and South Australia to become a global hub for high performance coaching and research through this partnership.

14 14 PORT PORTADELAIDE ADELAIDE FOOTBALL FOOTBALLCLUB CLUB

Our head of high performance Darren Burgess will play an integral leadership role within this program and will help develop the high performance curriculum and maximise our broader relationship with UniSA. Importantly, this partnership with UniSA works both ways. Not only will they tap into Darren’s expertise but he will bring the new knowledge he acquires from this cutting-edge partnership back into our high performance program at Port Adelaide.

We are excited by the opportunities that exist with this partnership and we can’t wait for the pilot program to start in 2015.

Continue to develop the game day experience at Adelaide Oval Our game day experience in 2014 involving the March from the Mall, our inspiring team entry and of course ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ 60 seconds from the opening bounce has captured the imagination of the competition.

It is important we continue to build on the outstanding program built last year.

We will look at ways to innovate our game day and make your home match experience even better in 2015.

Some exciting initiatives are already planned.

As part of our innovative Power Pirateers membership package for kids aged between two and six, we will set up a dedicated family area on the eastern side of the Adelaide Oval for all our home games in 2015.

This area will incorporate elements of the Power Pirateers story as well as a traditional

junior zone and parents’ retreat where mums and dads can keep an eye on their kids while enjoying a coffee, shoulder massage and watch the game on dedicated big screens.

We aim to make going to the footy for a family with young kids much easier and more fun, because there is nothing like sharing the passion of a Port Adelaide game with your family.

Summary and looking forward We should all be incredibly proud of our collective achievements in 2014.

Although the ultimate prize eluded us in the AFL and SANFL, we have established a platform to build on for many years to come.

I once again thank every member, supporter, corporate partner, coach, player, volunteer, staff member, marcher, ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ singer, flag waver and television viewer for your commitment to our club this year - it’s an honour to serve as your chief executive.

Earlier this year, reflecting on the stories and hearing from the heroes of our 2004 premiership campaign reinforced to me how hard it is to climb to the top of the AFL. So strap yourself in and join us for another chapter in our club’s remarkable history as we continue our relentless drive for glory in both the AFL and SANFL competitions in 2015.

Together and united, the Port Adelaide community is an irresistible force.

KICKING GOALS IN THE COMMUNITY POWER COMMUNITY LTD REPORT Established in 2011, Power Community Ltd continues to set the standard of community development and engagement in the AFL industry working across a range of program areas for youth, female, multicultural, Aboriginal and older adult groups...

P

OWER COMMUNITY LTD engaged around 100,000 people across its youth, Aboriginal, multicultural, female and older adult programs in 2014 and integrated its work into feature game day events such as ANZAC Round, Indigenous Round, Women’s Round and Multicultural Round.

At the end of the year, the community team farewelled Power Community Ltd general manager Darren Adamson, who was integral in starting the new entity and completed nine years of service to the club.

Beyond Darren’s contribution in 2014, Power Community Ltd also benefited from extra resourcing thanks to its current and new partners and several successful applications to government, private corporations and community grant providers.

Defence Force participation and engagement Port Adelaide’s relationship with defence agencies continues to grow through both the promotion of the club’s rich ANZAC heritage and its desire to provide a dedicated commemoration of the nation’s servicemen and women as part of ANZAC Round.

Port Adelaide was honoured to host Geelong during ANZAC Round, and worked closely with defence partners, including the RSL, to provide opportunities to be involved with the club.

The club once again presented the Major Peter Badcoe VC Medal to the player who best exemplified the ANZAC Spirit during the match; in 2014 Travis Boak was the recipient.

Away from the football field, Power Community Ltd’s Defence Recognition Program continued to engage the broader defence industry including veterans, current serving members and their families, and provided fundraising support provided to Legacy, the RSL and the Repat Foundation.

16 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Power Community Ltd also delivered the Optimistic Kids program, a resilience and positive thinking program for children of defence families.

Female Programs Power Community Ltd expanded its popular Girl Power initiative in 2014.

Girl Power is a leadership program promotes healthy lifestyle messages, motivation and career planning to girls aged 13-16.

20 schools from across Adelaide participated in 2014 and 70 students were invited to a special leadership day at Alberton Oval where a number of female leaders, including Olympic gold medallist Anna Meares, presented to them about opportunities beyond the classroom.

The girls were also offered work experience opportunities with a range of female mentors across several industries.

Youth Programs The Community Youth Program continues to grow in size and impact.

Focussed predominantly in the club’s western and northern suburbs heartland, the program expanded into several eastern suburbs schools in 2014 and made several trips to the Eyre and Fleurieu peninsulas, the Clare Valley, Ceduna and Roxby Downs.

The program conducts three visits in 12 schools each term, with 27,452 children from 92 schools reaping the benefits of visits from the club’s players and other elite female athletes.

One of the core achievements of the Community Youth Program was its expansion to include years 4 and 5 classes, as well as its traditional focus on children in years 6 and 7.

Complementing the Community Youth Program was a restructured secondary schools program - Empowering Youth.

This program encourages secondary students to take responsibility for themselves and others through positive health, lifestyle, financial and career choices.

This year’s program engaged 1122 students from 41 schools across the state on a range of topics including leadership, respect, decision

making, role modelling, health and well-being, road safety and harm minimisation.

components as part of a Certificate III in Sport and Recreation.

The program is delivered over two weeks in-school and one week at Alberton Oval, with a leadership forum to further explore topics facilitated by program partners available to some students.

Students travelled regionally to play other teams during the year, including a tour to the Power’s Round 11 game in Alice Springs.

Aboriginal Programs Power Community Ltd’s Aboriginal initiatives continue to excel nationally, following the successful roll out of three ‘pillar’ programs.

The seventh Aboriginal Power Cup embraced 392 students from 35 schools across the state.

All students who completed the required curriculum tasks and demonstrated strong school attendance participated in the annual three-day carnival at Alberton Oval, which included almost 120 games of ‘nine-a-side’ football, workshops and cultural activities, a career expo and team breakfast.

25 students completed the 2014 program in a fantastic year on-field and in the classroom.

Multicultural Programs Power Community Ltd created a new Social Cohesion Program for the African community living in Kilburn, which achieved significant outcomes with the help of AFL Multicultural Ambassador Alipate Carlile.

The Kilburn Football Club approached Power Community Ltd to help it grow its junior participation in 2014 by opening its doors to the local African migrant community.

The finals of the Aboriginal Power Cup - the first to be played at the Adelaide Oval - took place prior to the Round 10 game.

55 African students participated in the 10-week Social Cohesion Program and Multicultural Summer Football Academy, with 40 of the participants being female, allowing Kilburn to enter an Under-16 team in the North Eastern Metro junior girls’ competition.

Importantly, 92 per cent of students completed the Aboriginal Power Cup curriculum - the program’s highest rate ever.

These girls also participated in related leadership programs, including the YWCA Youth Parliament.

The WillPOWER program help expand Power Community Ltd’s presence in regional and remote areas in 2014.

Two program participants represented South Australia at the national under-16 championships, while several others went on to secure local casual employment.

The positive reception and uptake of WillPOWER in the Maralinga and APY Lands led to the federal government issuing a $300,000 grant to expand the reach and impact the program has in remote Aboriginal communities.

The club also worked closely with the South Australian Aboriginal Sports Training Academy to start the first AFL Aboriginal Academy for talented Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander footballers.

The program splits theory and practical

Power of One is a new initiative developed by Power Community Ltd to promote cultural diversity, particularly in ‘New Arrivals’ schools.

Around 200 recently arrived children were visited by Power of One in their schools and learned the game of Australian Football and the positive messages of tolerance and respect the game promotes.

programs and activities.

The Chinese international student community also became significantly involved in the International Student Supporter program, with around 50 students participating in 2014.

Bequest Society and other programs The Port Adelaide Forever Bequest Society continues to blossom as more long-term members bequeath a contribution to the club in their wills.

The Society continues to connect many of Port Adelaide’s most dedicated supporters to the club through regular luncheons and events.

Our elder members also participated in a special ACH Life Exercises program at the club once a week during the year.

This program continues to prove a popular part of Power Community Ltd’s suite of offerings for people of all ages.

Power Community Ltd also continues its partnership with the Smith Family Homework Club, allowing school students to learn in the fun, safe and supportive environment of the Power Community Classroom to develop academic and social skills.

This is a program that runs during terms two and three each year at no cost for participants and their families.

Outlook Power Community Ltd thanks all of its program sponsors and supporters, and looks forward to the opportunity to continue kicking goals together by growing existing and new initiatives in Adelaide, South Australia and beyond next year.

All participants were invited to Power Community Ltd’s annual Multicultural Gala Day where they participated in a range of cultural

POWER AND PASSION MATTHEW RICHARDSON MEMBERSHIP REPORT

In 2014, Port Adelaide shattered its own records as its ‘true believers’ flocked to the new home of South Australian football.

With record membership and crowd attendance figures, the club will look to build its following again in season 2015...

2014

WAS A SEASON that will be remembered for many reasons, but one of the highlights for Port Adelaide was the way in which its community made the Adelaide Oval its own.

From the moment seating registrations commenced in September 2013, the club saw unprecedented demand for memberships and reached a record membership total (55,750 members) and average home attendance (44,364) for season 2014.

The features of our game day, the March from the Mall, team entry and, of course, ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ all have critical elements that make them so special to our community.

They are ‘owned’ by our supporters and members, are real, authentic and each has a genuine meaning to Port Adelaide.

We look forward to turning the dial up further on our magnificent game day in 2015 and can’t wait to see our members embrace these fantastic rituals again.

55,750

total members

Such was the success of the club’s performance that our supporters shattered the record attendance for any AFL game in South Australia.

44,364 average home attendance

Twice.

The club’s opening game was a moment in time for sport and culture in South Australia as Port Adelaide celebrated its return to the magnificent redeveloped Adelaide Oval with an incredible day both on and off-field.

We are so proud of our community, the way it embraced the club and is wonderful to see our people recognised nationally as the most passionate and loyal supporter base in the competition.

Research also backs this up with the annual SHAPE Research survey of sporting clubs in Australia showing the highest overall member engagement and satisfaction ratings of all the AFL clubs in both 2013 and now 2014.

18 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Port Adelaide’s rating in the 2014 edition of the SHAPE survey – 9.2 out of 10 – is the highest score reached by any sporting organisation of all leagues to participate in the survey since 2001.

Everyone at the Port Adelaide Football Club - our players, coaches, staff and volunteers values our members immensely.

Know that your club is as driven as you are to make next season as exciting as the last.

Power Pirateers and family engagement In November, the club launched a brand new junior membership program targeted specifically at children aged between two and six.

Power Pirateers will see our youngest followers join two little pirates called Jack and Daisy on their high sea adventures as they learn to play our game.

Some ‘special mates’ who you might find familiar will join them as they solve problems and learn to work as a team.

The Power Pirateers are just one part of a broader initiative to make it easier for families to come to the football in 2015.

A range of tailor-made programs situated at the eastern plaza of the Adelaide Oval will be implemented in 2015 as part of our ambition for Port Adelaide to be the ‘family club’ of the AFL, with the best game day experience.

The club is very excited about how this new program will complement our existing junior membership and hope you love it just as much as we do!

Membership 2015: Demand, Wait List and more…

Who’d have thought just a few years back that Port Adelaide would be looking to break through the 60,000-member mark?

We are committed to providing our members with terrific value and are pleased that, even though the club has needed to increase prices for the first time in five years, we still offer the best value membership in the AFL. Pricing for 2015 reflects the need to deliver on our members’ rightly high expectations of delivering a state-of-the-art football product.

We need to continually invest in order to provide on-field success and the best game day experience.

Demand for reserved seating is high and has seen the introduction of a waiting list for the first time ever.

At the time of publication, we have set our second-highest ever membership figure - an incredible turnaround in just two years!

We are confident we can reach 60,000 members for the first time in the New Year.

Importantly, our mission is to continue to get better and better at everything we do and make our community and members proud.

Our 2015 membership campaign is focussed on bringing our passionate community together again next season and creating the loud and frenetic environment on which our players feed, and our opponents fear.

The competition can be assured one thing, Port Adelaide will Bring the Noise to the Adelaide Oval in 2015!

*deceased

The Port Adelaide Football Club mourns the passing of these former players, life members and key contributors to the success, history and culture of the club during the past year.

DEAN BAILEY AFL Assistant Coach 2002-2007 Port Adelaide joined with the Australian Football community in mourning the passing of its former assistant coach Dean Bailey following a short battle with cancer on 11 March 2014. Mr Bailey was an assistant to Mark Williams in two grand final seasons, including the 2004 campaign that won the club’s first AFL premiership. He went on to hold the senior coaching position of the Melbourne Football Club and later worked as a senior assistant at the Adelaide Crows.

MELVILLE FRANK WILLIAMS Player 1946-1950 Former player Melville Williams passed away earlier this year. Active with Port Adelaide for five seasons, ‘Slick’ would debut against West Torrens at Thebarton in 1946 and play 55 League games and kick 50 goals up until the end of the 1950 season. Mr Williams is the brother of Foster Neil Williams, the club’s ninetime premiership coach and patriarch.

JOHN SINCOCK Club Historian , Life Member (2010) John Sincock was Port Adelaide’s official historian from the end of 1995 until his passing at the beginning of 2014, acting as a jointhistorian when the club was split into separate entities in the AFL and SANFL between 1997 and 2010. Mr Sincock was the club’s fourth official historian and made a lasting and important contribution to the maintenance of the records and statistics of the club.

ZOE ROBINSON Former personal secretary to the general manager, Life Member (1987) Zoe Robinson was the secretary to three general managers of the club in Bob McLean, Ron Taylor and Ian McKenzie over 23 years of service with the Port Adelaide Football Club. A trusted confidant and herself a loyal supporter, Mrs Robinson retired from her role in 1988 with the club’s drought-breaking premiership a fitting reward for years of faithful service to Port Adelaide.

DES SHANAHAN Founder of the PAFC Outback Odyssey and Fishing Safari, Board Member of the PAFC Foundation Limited, Port Adelaide SANFL Vice-President, Life Member (1995) Des Shanahan was a tireless and devoted fundraiser and benefactor of the Port Adelaide Football Club over more than two decades.

Notable for starting key revenue-generating participatory events in the Outback Odyssey and Fishing Safari, Mr Shanahan was also an inaugural member of the PAFC Foundation Ltd and a Vice-President during the club’s standalone era in the SANFL. RONALD AIRD Long-term Vice-President (SANFL) and Power Broker (AFL) JANET WALSH Wife of John Walsh, long-term club sponsor ALBY CLARK Long-term club sponsor and member

TURNUP NEVER, EVER GIVEUP

SEASON REVIEW KEN HINKLEY

28 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

A

FTER STARTING TO win back respect in 2013, we approached this season with a singleminded determination to improve again.

I’ve seen teams make the first step up only to drop straight back down too many times and I didn’t want that to happen with the team we’re building.

I came up with the simple phrase ‘We’ll always turn up’ at the start of 2014, meaning we would be as ready physically and mentally for everything the AFL season threw at us.

To the boys’ credit, they attacked the pre-season with an appetite for hard work and improvement.

The Dubai camp tested them beyond anything they’d experienced before and they all came out the other side better for it. The immediate improvement in their three-kilometre time trial times told us our fitness levels had gone up significantly as a result.

Then it was time to start refining our game plan. Our semi-final loss to Geelong in 2013 burned all off-season.

The two things that cost us in that game were disposal efficiency and losing contested ball contests. We set ourselves to improve all areas of our game, but particularly those two key areas. We wanted to strengthen our defensive structures but also continue taking the game on with speed and playing brave Port Adelaide football.

As in 2013, we started the pre-season competition by giving some of our young players a taste of AFL football against the Crows. While winning is what we always strive for, this loss allowed us to have a look at our new draftees and to see how our other younger players were developing.

The season really started for us when we played a strong Essendon at Docklands with an almost full-strength team the following week. It was a strong performance that set us going for the initial part of the season.

The boys continued to buy into our policy of doing the little things well and clearly had the hunger for a good season ahead.

Adelaide Oval After a good win over Carlton in the opening round of the home-and-away season, we made our return to the Adelaide Oval in a highly anticipated Showdown. There was plenty of external talk about the Crows’ attempt to wear the state guernsey in that game, but it wasn’t a focus for us at all. We just wanted to take ownership of our new home. What a feeling it was before that opening bounce.

The players received a truly incredible reception and to see them deliver against our arch enemy made for a special day.

It set the tone for a big start to the season. We took on and beat some of the power house teams of the competition in Geelong, Fremantle and Hawthorn.

The loss to Sydney in a tight contest at the SCG midway through the year was followed by a bit of dip in form and some injuries, but the boys worked hard to get themselves right for finals. Qualifying fifth obviously made it tough but we set ourselves from the outset to give September our best crack.

Again the feeling for the first final at Adelaide Oval against Richmond was something to remember. As a coach, it’s hard to savour those special moments at footy grounds with your focus clear and firm on the game at hand, but I couldn’t help but become swept up and feel enormous pride in what the club and our supporters have done at the ground.

The players delivered a stand-out result that day to send us flying to Perth to take on Fremantle. After a disappointing first

half where we were dominated by the Dockers, I asked the players to play the Port Adelaide way - be brave and attack the game. They delivered again and we won our way to a preliminary final against Hawthorn.

There is still so much work to do...

We will leave no stone unturned to improve in 2015 History shows that’s where our finals series ended in 2014, and the loss to Hawthorn was extremely disappointing, to say the least. As I said after the game, we have to get better, we have to go again, work harder and get hungrier. The good teams – like Hawthorn – find a way to get the job done, we didn’t. To their credit the boys never gave up but that loss will burn all summer.

Awards Our best and fairest night on October 3 was a great event and a terrific way to acknowledge those who have excelled and contributed above and beyond.

Congratulations to Robbie Gray on winning the John Cahill Medal as our club’s champion. We are all about ‘team’ at Port Adelaide, but I must acknowledge the special season Robbie had to win our highest honour. He was simply outstanding and his season was built on the hard work he has put in over the past two years. Robbie was, in my opinion, the best of any player in the AFL. He deservedly won All-Australian honours and we’re all looking forward to seeing him lead the way again in 2015.

YEARBOOK 2014 29

30 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Rightfully, the man who placed second to Robbie was our captain Travis Boak, who again showed tremendous leadership throughout the 2014 season.

It’s remarkable to think 2014 was just his second year as captain, given how naturally he acts in the role. Travis also took out his second Fos Williams Medal for being the club’s best team man. The award recognises the player who best displays the team’s values of leadership, selflessness, professionalism, courage and loyalty. That sums Travis up perfectly.

Kane Cornes finished third in the John Cahill Medal count (again) and it is a fantastic example that age is no barrier to hard work and dedication at training and on the field. Kane continues to improve his game and lead from the front. It’s great to have him around again in 2015.

Our vice-captain Brad Ebert received the John McCarthy Award for his outstanding work in the community. Brad’s community work is a credit to him and he is a great ambassador for the club. While he is an excellent leader for the group on the field, he should be proud of the example he sets away from it as well.

Perhaps the man who shouldered more responsibility than any other player this year was Matthew Lobbe. Matty was a deserving winner of our Coaches’ Award, which we award to the player who best demonstrates significant improvement in his skills, work rate, fitness and commitment on the previous season.

‘Lobbes’ did a mountain of work this year and he should be proud of his effort.

Ollie Wines was again named our Gavin Wanganeen Medallist as our best player under 21. Ollie hasn’t missed a game since his debut in Round 1, 2013. His work ethic and dedication to improve is a credit to him and he is becoming an important part of our midfield. We all look forward to seeing him and all our young players improve again next year.

Appreciations We celebrated the career of our former skipper Dom Cassisi at the end of this year, following his retirement.

As I’ve said to Dom, one of my biggest regrets as the coach of this club is that I wasn’t able to work with him for longer.

He is one of the truly outstanding clubmen I’ve come across in my time in football.

He led the club through some dark days and his support for Travis, the whole leadership group and the players in general since stepping down as captain last year has been exemplary.

I don’t think we can thank Dom enough for his service to the club.

A man who deserves equal mention is Peter Rohde and, of course, his wife Robyn.

Peter, as many know, is leaving us after 10 years in charge of football operations.

‘Rohdey’ is one of the most experienced football administrators in the business and he’s helped me enormously since I came to the club, so thank you very much Rohdey.

I’d also like to thank the rest of the football club and particularly their families for their support of myself, our coaches and players.

In particular I appreciate the help of the board, led by David Koch, and chief executive Keith Thomas and his administration team.

I would also like to extend my thanks and gratitude to all of our volunteers particularly the old blokes involved in Dad’s Army - our trainers, and the ladies who help in the players’ kitchen.

To my coaching panel of Garry Hocking, Matthew Nicks, Tyson Edwards, Josh Carr, Aaron Greaves, Stuart Cochrane and Jacob Surjan, thank you all for your support and hard work again this year.

I’d like to make special mention of our director of coaching Shaun Hart and his wife Linda. The Harts joined us after many years up in Queensland and provided outstanding generosity and support throughout this year.

I’d also like to thank Phil Walsh for his help for his year back with us. We wish him luck – except in Showdowns – at the Crows.

To Darren Burgess and his fitness team and medical staff - well done. From the gruelling work at Dubai to managing our players through injuries, they all did a terrific job in keeping as many players on the park as they did.

Our recruiting staff, led by Geoff Parker and Jason Cripps, also continue working diligently to bring good quality people to our club and are making us better every year - thank you too for all your behind the scenes work.

We also welcome our new general manager of football Chris Davies who will no doubt be more than adequately helped by the tireless Di Pounsett – who is the backbone of our operations area.

Thank you finally to the sponsors for putting their support into the football club and I can promise you we will be working hard to repay the faith you’ve put in us.

Looking forward While we have clearly taken good steps forward over the past two years, there is still so much work to do. The players and coaches know this, and we will leave no stone unturned to improve in 2015.

Our December training camp in Dubai pushed the boys to new limits and saw everyone work their hardest to improve.

This buy-in is essential for our 2015 season and is a basic expectation when the players return to training in early January.

Mark my words, this is a driven group and I pledge on behalf of the team that we will be up for the battle in season 2015.

AFL YEAR IN REVIEW Despite being tipped as also-rans before the start of the season, Port Adelaide’s hard summer came to fruition with a bumper 2014 campaign that saw the Power notch 14 wins, including a club record eight-in-a-row at the start of the year. It led to one of the most exciting finals campaigns in the club’s history...

Port Adelaide’s season got underway in a fast-paced affair at Docklands against the Blues. The Power battled hard with Carlton for the first two quarters before running the home side off its feet in the second half, with Ollie Wines, Justin Westhoff and Robbie Gray chief destroyers for the visitors.

It was history in the making as Port Adelaide hosted the Crows in the historic first derby at the redeveloped Adelaide Oval. Before more than 50,000 spectators, Port Adelaide hit the gas early to romp home by 55 points in an emphatic show of strength over its fierce crosstown rival.

Despite taking the lead in the third quarter, Port Adelaide suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of traditional bogey side North Melbourne. A severe hamstring injury to Angus Monfries swung the momentum in the Roos’ favour late, with a twogoal-to-five final term shutting out the Power.

Port Adelaide celebrated 10 years since its 2004 premiership by donning a replica of the strip it wore to victory over the Lions that day. The 2014 Power booted 18 goals to three-quarter time and held Brisbane to a meagre 33 points. It was a near-record victory with Jay Schulz slotting seven goals.

In a league-wide trial of surnames on the backs of guernseys, Port Adelaide travelled to the so-called ‘House of Pain’ to front a West Coast team predicted to play deep into September.

Instead, it was the Eagles swallowing a bitter pill as the Power survived a gritty battle in the west to take the four points.

Hosting the first ANZAC Round at the Adelaide Oval, Port Adelaide finally closed the door on a losing streak against Geelong dating back to the 2007 Grand Final with a comprehensive performance over four quarters. There were few passengers as the Power withstood an early Cats lead to finish 40 points clear in the club’s first AFL match under lights at the Oval.

Battling Greater Western Sydney at a wet and chilly Manuka Oval, Port Adelaide recruit Jared Polec sparked another hoodoo-ending performance. It was the club’s first win at the ground after losing all three previous games there, and came despite late inclusions Paul Stewart and debutant Ben Newton replacing the gastro-stricken Hamish Hartlett and Alipate Carlile.

After ending losing streaks against Geelong and at Manuka, Port Adelaide set its sights on winning its first game over Fremantle since 2009. Not only did the hard-fought win after withstanding a mid-game attack from the Dockers end that unsuccessful run, but it confirmed the Power’s best start to an AFL season with a 7-1 winning record.

36 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Port Adelaide’s supporter base turned out en masse to break the South Australian AFL crowd record, and the vocal, frenetic attendance witnessed the Power storm out of the blocks to clinch a famous win at home against the Hawks. With an even spread of contributors, this win over the reigning premiers would be one of Port Adelaide’s best for the season.

In the first game for premiership points in Alice Springs, the Power controlled the early play against Melbourne, but the Demons proved resilient and pushed the fancied top-four Power to the very end, with Jared Polec and Ollie Wines scoring late to put the result beyond doubt.

Chad Wingard soared high under lights at the Adelaide Oval to take the 2014 AFL Mark of the Year, while a complete team performance from Port Adelaide with a massive third quarter blitz put the Saints to the hilt. The win kept the Power on top of the ladder ahead of a tough challenge against Sydney at the SCG.

A spirited Port Adelaide overcame an insipid opening half and an ankle injury to Hamish Hartlett to surge back into a tight contest with Sydney at the SCG. But a five-goal effort from Swan Lance Franklin proved the narrow difference between the top-two sides. Brad Ebert was the Power’s best with a season-high 40 disposals, while Jay Schulz kicked four goals in just the team’s second loss for the year.

Jay Schulz pressed his Coleman Medal credentials with a recordmatching performance at the Adelaide Oval. While the Power brushed aside the Western Bulldogs with ease, Schulz chalked up eight majors to sit alongside Warren Tredrea’s same milestone from 1998.

Everything looked to be in Port Adelaide’s favour early in Showdown XXXVII, but seven behinds from 10 scoring shots in the second term kept Adelaide within arm’s reach at half time. A goalless third quarter from the Power while the Crows kicked away with three sealed Port’s fate, with the team unable to muster a late comeback.

Inaccuracy plagued Port Adelaide in a slippery night under lights at the Adelaide Oval as the Bombers clung to a gritty win. It was the Power’s third loss in four weeks and its inability to hit targets inside its attacking 50 proved the difference on a tough night for player, coach and supporter alike.

Wins at Docklands continued to prove rare for Port Adelaide as the Tigers surprised pundits with a boil over win. Travis Boak was the Power’s most consistent and impressive performer, with his personal effort and the 2014 Goal of the Year from Matt White the main highlights on a dirty day for the visitors.

38 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Battling the yips in front of goal once again, Port Adelaide was forced to hold a persistent Melbourne at bay for the second time in 2014. In the final game of retiring former captain Dom Cassisi, the Power dug deep late in the match to set up leading goalkicker Jay Schulz with a crucial set shot, which he obligingly converted to give Cassisi a deserving send-off.

The Power’s winter of discontent continued against Collingwood at the MCG with yet another loss pushing the once ladder leaders further down the table.

Collingwood was simply too resilient in withstanding the Power’s advances and led at every change to win by a slender six points. Hamish Hartlett was Port Adelaide’s most consistent with four goals and 23 touches.

After a scare of viral meningitis at the club the week before, Port Adelaide bounced back against the Swans at home to lead by one point at quarter time, but the Swans managed to overtake the Power and hold a steady margin to the final siren. Robbie Gray and Jack Hombsch were strongest afield for the home side.

In torrential rain, Port Adelaide held with the Suns all day to eventually snare the lead in the third quarter and hold on to a hard-fought nine-point win. The story of the day though went to emergency Aaron Young who, after being sent to Coolangatta to catch the last flight back to Adelaide for an SANFL game the following day, was forced to turn his taxi around when Angus Monfries suffered a late body issue in the final warm-up.

Robbie Gray all but tied up the John Cahill Medal with another masterful performance against Carlton at the Adelaide Oval. Billed as ‘Black and White Friday Night’ to celebrate the centenary of Port Adelaide’s 1914 defeat of the Blues in the Championship of Australia, the club’s modern day campaigners blew Carlton away with a nine-goal opening half.

Robbie Gray kicked four goals.

In a battle for a top-four position, Port Adelaide held a narrow onepoint lead at the main break. Eight unanswered goals from Fremantle threatened to snuff the Power’s hopes, but Port rallied to come within eight points in the dying stages. It wasn’t to be, though, and the Power was sent back to Adelaide with just a week to prepare for a knockout elimination final against the Tigers...

Forced to wear an alternative guernsey for its home final – remarkably the famous black-and-white jumper it had so often battled the AFL to wear in heritage rounds – Port Adelaide ran out onto the Adelaide Oval for the historic first AFL final at the ground. After a disastrous loss to Richmond earlier in the year, the Power was keen to make amends in the major round and did so with an emphatic eight-goal-to-one first term which put the result immediately beyond doubt. A famous win for a famous football club at a famous ground.

Having played the Dockers just a fortnight earlier, Port Adelaide made sure it didn’t fall to them in Perth again. The home side looked strong and in control early, but Robbie Gray, Ollie Wines and Chad Wingard kicked nine of the Power’s final 13 goals to mount a stirring comeback in front of one of the AFL’s most hostile crowds. Combined with Hamish Hartlett’s inspired 33 touches, the Power’s fantastic form reversal was enough to secure a preliminary final berth against Hawthorn at the MCG.

With a huge turnout of Port Adelaide supporters at the MCG, many would be forgiven for thinking this preliminary final was a Power home game, such was the vocality of the crowd in the visiting club’s favour. There was certainly plenty to cheer for in the first quarter as Port Adelaide launched itself into a 12-point lead on the back of as many scoring shots. But it would pay a dear price for its inaccuracy in front of goal with Hawthorn firing back to take a sizable 23-point advantage into the final change. As it had ever done, the Power fought until the end and booted the last four goals of the game to come within three points. While Port Adelaide looked dangerous, the experienced, evergreen reigning premiers held on to its slender lead to take a win at the final siren. A gut-wrenching loss for the Power faithful, but one which saw the team stick to its promise of never giving up.

THE JUMPER GARRY HOCKING SANFL SEASON REVIEW

A new football structure and a new dawn for Port Adelaide in the SANFL saw the famous blackand-white jumper play brave, exciting football and reach September once again...

F

OR THE PORT ADELAIDE community, season 2014 was very positive.

Under a brand new structure, our playing group had a different feel to that of previous years, with plenty of new, young faces and a couple of old hands leading the away, but all of them clicked on-field and worked hard to get us back to the top of the SANFL ladder.

As you know, the club agreed to a new football structure with the SANFL for this season, so I’ll take you back to the start of the year when we brought all the players together and set ourselves for a big campaign.

Under our 2014 football structure, all of our AFL players were eligible to play for the club in the SANFL – finally bringing all Port Adelaide players in-house to wear the ‘prison bar’ jumper. Alongside them were 15 contracted players who were eligible to play both League and Reserves-grade football.

Of those contracted players, we were only allowed to have two senior players aged over 23: our captain Steven Summerton and vicecaptain Henry Slattery.

All the boys really embraced the new structure and this was reflected in a big improvement on-field.

We worked hard to live the inclusive culture that we’ve been aspiring to at Port Adelaide and it made for an exceptional coaching and playing environment.

After a promising pre-season, we started the year with a disappointing loss to Norwood at the Parade. That loss taught the boys that talent will only get our team so far and application would be the key in 2014.

For the next nine weeks, they played some terrific team footy and didn’t drop a game, chalking up good wins against quality sides including Sturt, South Adelaide and Central District. Our SANFL boys worked hard to implement the same exciting, running style of play our AFL team has become well known for and, while there was naturally an eye on

42 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

development with so many young players in the team, we didn’t let that distract our core focus of winning games of football.

In my view, winning as part of a team with a great culture is the best development you can give a player.

While we had a good season overall and claimed our 44th minor premiership, our consistency and form dropped midway through the year, which was disappointing.

We had our chances against Norwood in the second semi final, but fell short by 13 points. The boys then bounced back in the preliminary final to defeat a spirited Panthers by 20 points and advance to our first grand final since 1999 for another shot at taking down the Redlegs.

We played in front of 38,644 people, the largest crowd since our last premiership tilt.

Our young side was poor early but settled in the second quarter to take the game right up to the dual premiers. Unfortunately though, despite the boys throwing everything at it, we fell short by four points.

It was a gut-wrenching feeling to come so close and the boys who played, and the entire squad, felt it hard. But they’ll learn from it and use it to drive them next year.

Despite the heartbreak, season 2014 was

WINNING AS PART OF A TEAM WITH A GREAT CULTURE IS THE BEST DEVELOPMENT YOU CAN GIVE A PLAYER

the most enjoyable I’ve had in almost 30 years in football.

I was just so proud of the way everyone in the club embraced our new system with all our AFL boys finally playing in our traditional guernsey, and it’s a credit to each and every player, coach, staff member and volunteer.

We should all be proud of our desire to respect the heritage and traditions represented in our black-and-white jumper and the Magpie nickname, and we played with that true passion of a Port Adelaide team.

Thanks There are many to thank for their help this year but I will single out a few for special mention.

My assistant coaches - Aaron Greaves, Stuart Cochrane, Darren Beer and Jacob Surjan showed the professionalism and work rate you expect of a Port coach this year, each of these guys is second-to-none in the way they go about preparing our players.

I’d also like to acknowledge the work of our captain Steven Summerton, who won his second A.R. McLean Medal as our SANFL club champion. Summo had a terrific season and the way he adapted to the new team structure and led the boys was a credit to him.

Tom Logan received the Anthony Williams Memorial Award as our most courageous player and I think many would agree there would be few more courageous than ‘T-Shirt’.

Tommy was also terrific in helping fast-track the development of our younger players.

Many of the club’s younger brigade were recognised for their individual work as part of the team this year, including Ben Newton (Fos Williams Memorial Award for the most dedicated player), Karl Amon (best first year player), Anthony Biemans (best team man), Brendon Ah Chee (coaches’ award) and Aaron Young (best player in finals).

I must also thank our football manager Scott Peters, runner Andrew Rogers and fitness coach Greg King for their great work all year, and especially our operations executive Linda Crabb who received the Bob Clayton Memorial Trophy for her ongoing contribution to the club since commencing with the Magpies in 2007.

But the biggest thanks must go to our supporters, who backed us all year.

Your support of the club at SANFL level has been wonderful this year. We’ve seen plenty of kids at our games and many of our longterm members have been very supportive of our new footy program. The records show we

SANFL YEAR IN REVIEW A new football structure finally saw all of Port Adelaide players running out for the club in the SANFL. Taking players from the club’s AFL list and a special 15man SANFL list, the new ‘Magpies’ played exciting football to win the minor premiership and play through to the club’s first grand final since 1999...

A new era for Port Adelaide and SANFL football dawned under lights at Norwood Oval when a new-look Magpies took on the reigning premiers. But while all Port Adelaide’s players were finally in the one SANFL guernsey, there was clearly work to be done, with Norwood running out to a comfortable early lead and rarely looking out of control to take a first-up win.

ROUND 2

After the disappointment of losing to one old rival, Port Adelaide moved quickly to the elation of dominating another. John Butcher and Cameron Hitchcock starred up forward for the Magpies with five goals apiece while Port Adelaide’s crack midfield ran rings around the Tigers. The record win against Glenelg was the most comprehensive performance of the club in recent times.

The Magpies blitzed their nextdoor neighbour on Easter Monday.

The six goals from 12 scoring shots that opened Port Adelaide’s game were clinical, while little mercy was shown defensively with the Eagles only managing a single major. It was cruise control from there as Port kept its opponent goalless in the final term to secure the win.

Déjà vu two weeks running is rare in the Australian game, but Port Adelaide managed it with another 58-point belting of a ‘West’ team – this time the Bloods of Richmond.

With six goals opening the game and pegged out further over the next three quarters, Port’s win again saw a second term fade followed by a big second half – concerning for the coaches – but nevertheless a positive result.

Experience counts in Australian Football, and Port Adelaide looked like a club that had played 144 years and more than 3000 games in South Australian football when it played the new Crows ‘state league’ side in Clare. The intensity of the Magpies was dampened early, but the black-and-whites still managed a 27-point lead at half time, before opening the taps to another 20-goal performance.

With percentage locking both Port Adelaide and Sturt atop the ladder, the SANFL watched as two modern football sides locked horns on a dull Alberton day. As it had done in the last three games, Port Adelaide raced out with a six-goal opening term while the Double Blues threw everything at them. But the Magpies had all the answers, with its midfielders providing ample supply up forward.

After more than a month of dominating wins, this was Port Adelaide’s first genuine scare.

Up against a Panthers side coached by its former AFL opposition analyst Brad Gotch, Port wrestled its way to an 11-point half time lead. It looked like the game would continue tightly, but the Magpies’ superior midfield again summoned its best to roll the Panthers in the third to ultimately register a 10-goal win.

It was a nice birthday present for Port Adelaide on the 144th anniversary of its very first game when it claimed a safe 26-point victory at Prospect. The Roosters rallied in waves consistently throughout the afternoon in a close game, but the story of the day was the knee injuries suffered by ruckman Brent Renouf and defender Campbell Heath in a damaging hit to the club’s playing list.

48 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

After its emphatic, almost unblemished start to the year, this was the first sign Port Adelaide could be tested, if not beaten.

The Magpies soared to an early six-goal buffer, but Central rallied throughout the remaining three quarters to take the lead late in the match. It was only for a late steadying major that Port reclaimed the advantage with minutes left on the clock.

In steady rain, the Magpies wrestled with both the Eagles and its own poor ball use to break clear from a three-quarter time deadlock and grasp its ninth victory. Developing Irishman Daniel Flynn was suspended for a learner’s head-high bump that concussed Chris Kane, while Mason Shaw bagged six goals in a strong showing up forward.

A five-goal opening term would have the faithful backing another textbook win, but West Adelaide had other plans on a dark day at Richmond. Not only did the changeable winds make field kicks tough, but the Magpies couldn’t find a groove with see-saw form across the day failing at the hands of the far more consistent West.

In tough, muddy conditions at Unley, it was Robbie Young who stood tall for the visitors up forward by booting four critical goals, while his namesake Aaron starred through the middle in a strong leading performance.

The win over Sturt made up for the side’s dismal effort against West a week earlier.

Donning a replica of its 1914 Port Adelaide’s winter of discontent continued as the jumper in the first SANFL Magpies were consigned to ‘Showdown’ against the Crows at another loss on the back of an Alberton, Port Adelaide’s modern uninspiring effort. Despite leading Magpies honoured the centenary by 19 points at the final change, of its unbeaten 1914 season with Port was unable to maintain its a passionate effort in front of grip – at one point sizeable – on more than 6,000.

As a bout of viral meningitis swept through the Alberton locker room and forced key forward John Butcher out of the side, Port Adelaide found itself on the back foot against the Panthers.

South’s pace and determination was evident and the Magpies simply had too few contributors.

Jake Neade earned himself a recall to the AFL side with an exemplary performance.

Smashed in the opening half, the Magpies looked out of their depth against a confident Central District.

But sparked by Sam Gray, Brendon Ah Chee and the evergreen Tom Logan, Port Adelaide mounted an incredible 45-point turnaround in the third term to capture a thin lead at the final change. But the tank had emptied and the Dogs hit back hard to run out narrow victors.

50 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Port Adelaide would walk away winners after Norwood’s inaccuracy kept the Magpies in this traditional grudge match. It wasn’t a convincing win for the home side, but it certainly injected some valuable momentum into Port just weeks out from its first finals campaign since 2008.

The upset of the season saw the bottom-placed Tigers dominate the top-ranked Magpies on a cold day at the bay. Port Adelaide never looked a chance as Glenelg played with a verve rarely displayed in 2014. Even though Port was within three shots at the final break, Glenelg wouldn’t let up. A tough pill for Port Adelaide to swallow, even when it had secured its 44th minor premiership.

Port Adelaide was expected to bounce back from its unacceptable loss to the wooden spooners two weeks before, but it looked like the Magpie machine was wearing out in the early stages of the under-lights semi final against the Redlegs. The engine got going after half time with the Magpies kicking seven goals-to-one in a remarkable 39-point reversal, but they was no match for the seasoned Redlegs, who in turn booted fourto-one in the final quarter to book a place in the grand final.

Following its loss to Norwood the week before, Port Adelaide needed to bounce back against South to avoid a straight-sets exit from the finals. While scared by the Panthers’ pressure around the ball early, the Magpies managed to reverse a three-goal deficit at half time to run out a comfortable 20-point win and a re-match in the grand final against Norwood. There was plenty to like about the Magpies going into the decider, but over a month of inconsistent performances meant Garry Hocking’s men would go into the match as definite underdogs.

A grand final loss is hard to swallow and for Port Adelaide the pill would be very bitter.

While favourites Norwood launched a fivegoal burst to start the game, the Magpies were caught napping and trailled by 22 points at the first change. What ensued was one of the all-time classic finals, with both teams trading goals and pressure football as Port Adelaide came within seven points at half time. But it wasn’t enough, with the final siren sounding as the ball was kicked inside 50.

Heartbreak at the end for the true believers.

YEARBOOK 2014 55

THE LITTLE WINS

MOMENTS THAT MADE OUR YEAR

There were plenty of highlights away from the scoreboard in 2014. Two AllAustralians, another AFLCA Champion Player, the Mark and Goal of the Year and two fantastic major stories away from the field, Port Adelaide found plenty of ways to grab a headline when it wasn’t winning games...

MARK AND GOAL OF THE YEAR

GAV’S GUERNSEY RETRIEVED

Port Adelaide clinched two of the coveted supporter-voted awards offered by the AFL for the first time in its history.

Missing for almost 10 years, it had remained the biggest mystery of AFL Grand Final folklore since Port Adelaide’s 2004 premiership win.

But it didn’t win just one of the Mark or Goal of the Year.

It won both.

Chad Wingard took away the AFL’s Mark of the Year with a high-flying grab at the Adelaide Oval under lights when Port Adelaide hosted St Kilda in Round 12.

The grab, taken over Saints backman Sean Dempster, was the resounding favourite of the AFL supporters who cast their votes online.

But there was more to come in the Power’s Round 17 loss to Richmond at Docklands, when new recruit Matt White tore away from all comers in a speeding blitz along the boundary.

Starting just inside defensive 50, White awaited an opportunity to get on the end of a handball chain and tear away to eventually launch a kick from just inside the Power’s attacking arc.

Icing the cake for the spectacle was Tiger Steven Morris’s desperate (and unsuccessful) dive to try and stop White in the final moments before the score was sealed.

56 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Where had Gavin Wanganeen’s only premiership guernsey gone?

It was a concerted mission by the club’s media department, launched on the its official website portadelaidefc.com.au, and pursued throughout the year that cracked the mystery.

An anonymous caller liaised with the club for Wanganeen’s premiership teammate and current midfield coach Josh Carr to rendezvous at Docklands in Round 17 where the genuine article was returned into Port Adelaide hands.

Fellow premiership teammate and current Power veteran Kane Cornes assisted to orchestrate a mock address to the playing group by Wanganeen in the lead-up to several pressure games.

As genuine and beneficial as the address was, it was all a clever ruse to present ‘Wangas’ his long lost friend.

The emotion evident, it was perhaps the most beneficial moment for the playing group when they saw the value and impact of a premiership guernsey on its owner.

THE COACHES’ CHOICE In a blue ribbon year, Robbie Gray became the second Port Adelaide player to be named the AFL Coaches’ Association Champion Player of the Year.

He won the award with a round to spare after demonstrating his acumen as a game-breaking midfielder.

The dynamic Gray would go on to be named an All-Australian forward and win Port Adelaide’s highest accolade – the John Cahill Medal.

SANFL captain Steven Summerton was also recognised with the R.O. Shearman Medal by the state league’s coaches after a dominant season in the black-andwhite guernsey.

Summerton would also win the club’s SANFL best and fairest, was named in the league’s team of the year and represented the SANFL in the win over the VFL at Port Melbourne part-way through 2014.

PORT ADELAIDE’S OWN ‘ACADEMY AWARD’

TWO MORE ALL-AUSTRALIAN SELECTIONS

On the back of its strong on-field season, Port Adelaide was kicking goals all over the place off-field when the AFL’s supporters voted the Power’s Virgin Australia Film Festival entry the best of the lot.

For the second consecutive year, Port Adelaide featured in the year’s best team as voted by an esteemed group of selectors, with both captain Travis Boak and John Cahill Medallist Robbie Gray earning All-Australian status.

Beating out local rivals the Adelaide Crows, and Richmond, Port Adelaide’s entry covered a famous Chemical Brothers song – ‘Block Rockin’ Beats’ – with 10 players swapping footballs for instruments to produce the winning entry.

Named on the interchange bench, it was Boak’s second selection in the AllAustralian team in as many years, while Gray was acknowledged for the first time.

The pair became the club’s 34th and 35th All-Australian selections overall since John Abley’s first in 1956.

The film was meticulously edited together by the club’s video producer Julian Hatch after the players involved recorded each instrumental and vocal note to camera.

As a result of winning the competition, Port Adelaide won 30 business class international flights with Virgin Australia.

3 CAMPBELL HEATH

Boak confirmed his status as one of the elite midfielders in the AFL with another stand out year in 2014. Regularly stood up in big games, including the elimination final (34 disposals, 12 clearances) and the preliminary final (33 disposals, 1 goal) and was rewarded with a second consecutive All-Australian selection. Also finished equal fourth in the Brownlow Medal.

Draft: 2010 Rookie Draft, Pick No. 12 Previous clubs: Sacred Heart College/ Glenelg AFL Career games: 35 | Goals: 31 2014 games: - | Goals: SANFL Career games: 38 (9) | Goals: 66 (15) 2014 games: 9 | Goals: 15

Injury hampered much of Hitchcock’s year, allowing him to play just nine games of the SANFL season including a five-goal performance against Glenelg in Round 2.

Hitchcock’s career with Port Adelaide finished with 35 AFL games played between debut in 2010 and 2013.

Heath’s horror run with injury continued in 2014, with the silky left-footer suffering a shin setback in the pre-season and then requiring LARS surgery after rupturing his ACL in Round 8. Heath’s determination saw him fight back to play all three SANFL finals.

Delisted at the end of the season after 12 games with the Power.

Amassed a career-high 40 disposals against the Swans at the SCG in Round 13 and received three Brownlow votes for his 26 disposals and two goals against his old side in Round 5.

Hartlett took another step in his journey to become one of Port Adelaide’s most destructive midfielders. Standing up in crucial battles, his ball-winning ability was in full show on numerous occasions, particularly a 36-touch effort against St Kilda in Round 12, and 33 against Fremantle in a cut throat semi final.

After a consistent 2013 returning from a shocking knee injury, Robbie Gray’s stocks sky-rocketed to elite status in 2014. AFL Coaches Association Champion Player, John Cahill Medal and All-Australian selection – Gray did it all this year. He mixed his time between the forward line and midfield and proved equally devastating in both positions.

He endeared himself to the true believers straight away with a beautiful running goal in the Showdown. These runs would become a regular thing, but none was more impressive than his 100-metre run and 50-metre Goal of the Year against Richmond in Round 17.

Polec managed just 16 games in three years at Brisbane because of consistent injury problems, but played 24 out of a possible 25 games with the Power in 2014. The dashing left-footer showed just why he was taken at pick 5 in 2010 - his run-andcarry, combined with his pinpoint left foot became a key part of the Power’s midfield.

Shaw overcame injury setbacks to function as a potent key forward for Port Adelaide in the SANFL this year. Capable of marking strongly and converting with his straight textbook kick, he slotted 26 goals in the League and clearly has plenty to offer in 2015 as he continues his development as a key position forward.

Impey debuted in the opening round of the season and earned a Rising Star nomination for his impressive job on Fremantle goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne in Round 8. A readymade small defender, his run and ability to impact with clean skills will be his weapons in years to come.

Despite a solid start to the season, Cassisi’s body began to struggle through the middle of the year. The former skipper made the decision to retire and was given a fitting farewell at Adelaide Oval against Melbourne in Round 18. Cassisi retires a premiership player, four-time Fos Williams Medallist and Port Adelaide life member.

Moore was one of Port Adelaide’s highimpact players in the SANFL – where he spent around half the season after recovering from an early AC joint injury. Injury upon his AFL selection in Round 11 proved another setback, but he managed to string eight elite games together – including three finals – from Round 19 onwards.

Carlile was ever-reliable in 2014 as the lynchpin of the Power’s young defence. Working in partnership with Jackson Trengove, Carlile took the opposition’s key forwards most weeks and was rarely beaten. His absence from rounds 16 to 18 was a blow for the Power and showed just how important he is as a leader in the back six.

Pittard put his injury issues behind him to cement his place in the Power’s back six, playing all 25 games. The hard-running defender regularly set up the Power’s attack with his daring play. Leading the AFL in running bounces with 79 - testament to his attacking style - at just 23 years old and with 56 games under his belt, he is set to come into his prime in the coming years.

Colquhoun was among Port Adelaide’s best SANFL performers early in the year and was a selection prospect for AFL honours given his consistent form at local level before injuring his anterior cruciate ligament against West Adelaide in Round 4. Sidelining him from the rest of the season, Colquhoun is expected to return in early 2015.

Harvey showed promising signs in his first season at SANFL level. One of two players to play every game of the League season He mixed his time between the ruck and forward line. His ruck work improved as the season progressed and his set shot at goal was very solid. With another AFL pre-season under his belt, Harvey will only get better.

Injury setbacks, particularly with his knee, continued to hound Redden throughout 2014. Undertaking a season-long rehabilitation from surgery, the ruckman signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at Alberton for 2015.

Jonas cemented his place in the side as a big-bodied defender capable of playing on a variety of opponents with 22 games including each of the club’s finals.

Amon looked at home at SANFL league level in 2014, producing consistent performances across the season. No doubt, however, about his best game, which was in Round 13 against North Adelaide when he had 21 disposals, 10 marks and 4 goals. The promising left-footer will be pushing for AFL selection in 2015 having been an emergency twice in 2014.

Logan managed just three AFL games in 2014, but was an influential leader for the club in the SANFL throughout the Magpies’ strong year. He finished third overall in the A.R. McLean Medal count and was praised for the example he set for Port Adelaide’s young and developing backmen. Logan was strategically re-listed as a rookie in December for 2015.

Playing just three games in 2014 and one match in the club’s Academy side, talented small forward Johansen’s limited year in the SANFL came on the back of captaining the state Under-18 side which won the national championships in Victoria.

Slattery played 13 games for the Magpies and was a mature leader and excellent support for skipper Steven Summerton on and off the field. Retired at the end of the season with 21 League games to his name – all with Port Adelaide.

Gordon impressed up forward in the Academy side, booting 26 goals in 15 games and forcing his way into the league for two games later in the season. He finished as the Academy’s leading goal kicker and one of the success stories of the Academy/ League contract list development program spearheaded by Jacob Surjan.

Biemans had a solid season in the league side, playing 17 games and kicking 10 goals.

He had a damaging kick going forward and impressed playing across half back and the midfield. Signed another contract to remain at Port Adelaide in 2015 after combining his skilled outside run with valuable leadership.

Hawkins debuted against the Adelaide Crows in Round 5 and played four games in his inaugural League season. Splitting his time between Academy and League level, he showed his worth as a capable running midfielder.

Young played 14 games for Port Adelaide and was one of the Magpies’ most exciting smalls, particularly with a match-winning four-goal haul against Sturt at Unley. Remaining a firm crowd favourite, Young is poised to continue his strong season in 2015.

AWARD WINNERS

ALL THE KEY MERITS FOR 2014

JOHN CAHILL MEDAL – SECOND PLACE FOS WILLIAMS MEDALLIST TRAVIS BOAK Travis Boak again capped another superb year with the Fos Williams Medal and a second place finish in the John Cahill Medal count. His quiet start of the year was quickly reversed by an incredible second half, which saw him named among the competition’s best captains and poll the most votes for Port Adelaide in the Brownlow Medal count.

Other achievements Peter Badcoe VC Medal (ANZAC Round), Brownlow Medal – Port Adelaide leader, Merv Agars Medallist (The Advertiser Player of the Year), All-Australian interchange bench.

JOHN CAHILL MEDAL – THIRD PLACE KANE CORNES Kane Cornes continued his incredible consistency at the age of 31 by polling third in the John Cahill Medal. Sitting in second position for most of the count highlighted Cornes’s continuing ability to win the ball and use it effectively. Providing excellent tackle pressure throughout the year and winning the second most disposals across the season, Cornes’s had an impact in almost every game - a testament to his longevity one of the game’s great midfielders.

Other achievements Most VFL/AFL games in guernsey number (No. 18), Most AFL finals appearances for Port Adelaide (19 finals).

GAVIN WANGANEEN MEDAL OLLIE WINES Wines won his second consecutive Gavin Wanganeen Medal after a high-impact second season. Avoiding the much maligned second-year blues that have plagued some of the competition’s brightest talents, Wines featured prominently in a number of midfield roles in 2014 and has cemented his place as one of Port Adelaide’s brightest long-term prospects.

COACHES’ AWARD MATTHEW LOBBE Maintaining sole ruck duties for almost the entirety of the season, Lobbe’s leadership and performance around the ground was second-to-none. Unlucky to miss AllAustralian selection, Lobbe proved his value as one of the league’s best ruckmen and an important cog in Port Adelaide’s midfield machine.

JOHN McCARTHY AWARD BRAD EBERT Community service is at the heart of Port Adelaide’s raison d’être and Brad Ebert exemplified that commitment throughout the year through his commitment to promoting important causes such as youth leadership and empowerment as an honorary board member for the Sammy D Foundation and generating awareness of debilitating motor neurone disease through a number of events.

SUPPORT STAFF AWARD BOB O’MALLEY Bob O’Malley has been a long-serving volunteer for the club as a member of the ever vigilant Dad’s Army and as a member of the club’s game day party of support staff.

A.R. McLEAN MEDAL – SECOND PLACE FOS WILLIAMS MEMORIAL TROPHY – LEAGUE MOST DEDICATED PLAYER BEN NEWTON Finishing second in the A.R.McLean Medal count, Newton also won the Fos Williams Memorial Award for his application at training and on game day as one of the club’s most senior and skilled players. Promotion into the club’s AFL side on several occasions limited his ability to poll votes, however his skill with the ball as a forward-running midfielder was a highlight of his year.

Other achievements The Advertiser SANFL team of the year.

A.R.McLEAN MEDAL – THIRD PLACE ANTHONY WILLIAMS MEMORIAL TROPHY – LEAGUE MOST COURAGEOUS PLAYER TOM LOGAN Playing the majority of his season in the SANFL, Logan showed his value as the club’s elder statesman in defence with a strong performance all year round. His trademark guts and toughness around the ball was a trademark of his season.

COACHES’ TROPHY BRENDON AH CHEE After a quiet start to the year, Ah Chee persevered through the season to hit top form after the halfway mark of the year, and featured regularly among the club’s best players.

BEST FIRST YEAR PLAYER KARL AMON Making his SANFL debut after being drafted to the club over summer, Amon starred with a number of strong performances, namely against North Adelaide in Round 13 where he booted four goals and won 21 possessions. A strong foundation year for an emerging and versatile player.

BRUCE WEBER MEMORIAL TROPHY – BEST TEAM MAN ANTHONY BIEMANS Biemans joined the club from South Barwon and hit the ground running as a consistent and team-oriented outside midfielder. His application at training and ability to put the team first was on display throughout the season, even when hit by illness and injury.

BEST PLAYER IN FINALS AARON YOUNG Young’s incredible athleticism was required on just a handful of occasions during the season, but it was in finals that his ability to win the ball and create opportunities for his team was best demonstrated. Polling in each of the finals, Young was a shining light throughout September.

BOB CLAYTON MEMORIAL (SERVICE AWARD) LINDA CRABB Having worked with Port Adelaide across its operations for many years, including continuously in the SANFL operations since 2007, Crabb was acknowledged with the perpetual trophy named for Clayton as a dedicated club-first member of Port Adelaide’s state league operations.

HE LEVEL-HEADED KEN HINKLEY isn’t noted for his outlandish statements, nor for individualising.

But when it came to Robbie Gray, following the season he’d had, following the comeback he’d made and knowing the player would never talk himself up, Hinkley was happy to give journalists a headline when he labelled Gray the competition’s best player.

And he was genuine - deep down, Hinkley believed it.

It came as no real surprise given Hinkley’s glowing praise – and the fact he’d been crowned the AFL Coaches Association Champion Player a month earlier – that Gray was a runaway winner of the 2014 John Cahill Medal as the Power’s champion player.

Hinkley saw a fitting winner in Gray, but was quick to point out that this was no fluke.

“He learned a few lessons before my time at the club, I reckon, about what you have to give, before you get,” Hinkley said at the club’s John Cahill Medal presentation.

“Robbie’s certainly done a lot of that, a lot of giving.

“If there’s ever a more deserving back up of something I say a fair bit – “you get what you deserve” - we’ve got no more deserving winner of the 2014 John Cahill Medal than Robbie Gray.”

Hinkley was of course talking about the 2014 All-Australian’s long, hard and interrupted recovery from a serious knee injury in 2012.

74 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

When Gray was stretchered off the ground against Collingwood on 21 April 2012, doctors told him his injury was something they’d often see in a car accident.

His knee cartilage was torn to shreds and he’d suffered nerve damage to the top of his right calf, which would later cause interruptions to his rehabilitation program.

Gray worked diligently in the gym to rebuild his strength.

He “learned to swim properly” to keep his aerobic fitness up.

Yet despite hours and hours of sweating it out in rehab, his right calf muscle still had virtually no definition, which delayed his return to running.

In fact, the nerve damage he suffered in the horrific injury was threatening to delay his return until the middle of 2013, possibly even later.

So what was the turning point?

Ever so gradually, as 2012 came to an end, Gray’s calf began to build muscle and he returned to the track.

Power’s games in 2014, on the back of playing 20 games in 2013.

and Ollie Wines lifting the Power over the line in a thrilling final term.

He started the year playing predominantly forward, but worked his way more and more into the midfield as the season progressed, proving along the way he’s just as damaging in front of goal as he is at the feet of the ruckmen.

It wasn’t Gray’s most prolific day in terms of winning the ball, but his ability to impact on the scoreboard when the club’s season was on the line cannot be underestimated.

His best was devastating and he had a freakish knack of popping up when the Power needed him most.

“It’s the most consistent footy I’ve played, In Round 1, with the Power trailing by five but as a group we had a fantastic year and points early in the final quarter against Carlton, there were a number of guys who played he turned the game on its head by kicking really good footy,” says Gray. three goals in seven minutes to turn that “That took the pressure off me a bit because I deficit into a 26-point lead. was able to fly under the radar.

He came up with big clearances in final “To be recognised with the greats who have quarters of games against Fremantle, won this award is definitely a huge honour.

But perhaps the quarter that best defined why he’s such a talent was his third quarter against Fremantle in the semi final.

Gray acknowledges his year off taught him what it takes to be an AFL footballer.

Port Adelaide was lucky to be within 18 points at half time, with the Dockers blowing a number of chances.

“I suppose having that time off, I probably learned a fair bit about myself and I probably changed a few things, the way I went about things, about footy,” he said.

Gray kicked the first of the quarter after just 47 seconds and went on to total four in the next 30 minutes to give the Power a slim two-point lead at the final change, with Chad Wingard

“I certainly prepare better now than I used to and that is probably helping.

(Robbie Gray) was clearly the best player in the competition this year

“I’m probably just more diligent with my work during the week, in the gym, out on the track and little things like diet, the real little things that you have got to take care of - recovery and things like that - to get your body right to play AFL footy.

“I had been playing for six or seven years at that stage and had a fair few issues with my body, and I suppose when you have a year straight out of the game, you probably start to realise it goes pretty quick.

“I just wanted to get back and give myself the best opportunity to play my best footy.”

With his preparation and recovery now at an elite standard, Gray played all 25 of the

The 26-year-old acknowledges it was his best season but, as is his humble nature, he is always quick to turn the attention back onto the quality of his teammates.

“To get to a preliminary final this year and get that close ( in a three-point loss to AFL premier Hawthorn) hurts — so we want to have a big summer and get back there next year and go a couple better.”

Gray hopes the team can go better next year, but amazingly, skipper Travis Boak believes his good mate Robbie can get even better in 2015.

“I think he’s still got plenty of work to do, and he knows he’s got plenty of work to do, and that’s scary, because we know what he produced this year,” Boak said.

“It’s exciting for our club to have him as part of our group and knowing he’s still got plenty to give.”

Gray was also named the supporters’ choice in winning Port Adelaide’s Supporters’ Most Valuable Player award.

Ken Hinkley didn’t mince his words when asked about Robbie Gray following the Power’s three-point loss to Hawthorn in the 2014 Preliminary Final.

THE NO.1 MAGPIE DANIELA ABBRACCIAVENTO

76 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

“I’ve always prided myself on being consistent every week, and being the best I can be...”

T

HERE WAS A DEGREE of uncertainty for Steven Summerton about his future at Alberton.

“It was something I wasn’t really expecting to do leading into the season when I knew we were going to be surrounded by truck loads of talent with all the AFL boys coming into the team permanently.

Having known little more than wearing blackand-white and having played football locally before joining Port Adelaide’s junior programs in the mid-2000s, he was keen to stay in the ‘prison bar’ jumper again in 2014.

“To be able to achieve something like that with the team we had is something I’ll never forget.

With changes to the club’s SANFL structure for 2014, he was always going to take his time to make the right decision about his football future.

But as the pieces of the club’s new football structure fell into place, Summerton began to see a bright future at Alberton.

The 26-year-old penned a three-year deal at the start of 2014 to become one of Port Adelaide’s contracted SANFL players.

He was then appointed captain of the League side in February – the 65th captain of the club in local football since 1870.

From there, he made it his mission to lead from the front and take the Magpies back to where they belong (grand finals) and doing what it exists to do (win premierships).

Summerton played every game of the 2014 season and enjoyed one of his most consistent years, being named best-onground on five occasions.

His stellar season was capped off in September when he was crowned club champion for the second time in his career.

Polling votes in all games except for the second semi final loss to Norwood, it was the second time Summerton won the coveted A.R. McLean Medal, having first done so in 2010.

At the club’s medal count, the midfielder also won the Max Porter Memorial Trophy as the club’s most consistent SANFL player.

“It’s obviously a huge honour to win the A.R.McLean Medal again,” Summerton says.

“I was lucky enough to win it once before, but to do it twice is a huge honour.

“I’ve always prided myself on being consistent every week, and being the best I can be.

“I think I did that this year.

“With the year itself, it was just great to get back to playing finals where we should be.”

Recognition for Summerton’s stellar season also came from beyond the club.

He was awarded the SANFL’s R.O. Shearman Medal as the best player in the competition, as voted by the league’s 10 coaches.

During his first season as skipper, Summerton shouldered the lion’s share of responsibility for the club’s on-field leadership and ensured the profile of the club was well-represented away from it.

Donning the traditional No. 1 captain’s guernsey, Summerton beat heavy tags on a weekly basis and was often a catalyst for team success.

In the cut throat preliminary final against South Adelaide, Summerton lifted his team with a much-needed goal to help advance Port Adelaide to its first SANFL League Grand Final since 1999.

Summerton again led from the front in the grand final and was instrumental in helping the Magpies almost snatch victory in the dying seconds.

He said the four-point loss would only make him and his teammates hungrier for success next year.

“No one really understands how young our group really was,” Summerton said.

“They’d look from the outside in and think we were full of AFL players, but the reality is that we were a team full of guys who were still just 18 and 19 years old, with no finals and almost no experience in senior footy.”

Q&A

WITH MICHAEL VOSS

WITH JAMES WAKELIN

How are you settling into life at the Port Adelaide Football Club?

All footy clubs are set up differently in some ways but it’s remarkable how similar they are in so many others. Ken and the coaching staff have been great in getting me up to speed on what we’re about, how we want to play and what we want to achieve. So I’ve spent a bit of time with the coaches and I’m now getting to know the players and getting stuck into it.

What are your first thoughts coming in?

It’s a good environment. All the players can be very confident that they’ve got some really good people surrounding them who will give them the best opportunity to perform next year. What I get loud and clear is that there is a high level of expertise in the group. What we’ve seen from the players is certainly promising. We’ve seen some ‘PBs’ on the track which is pleasing. Everyone looks pretty hungry and we’re all about getting the best possible pre-season under us to give us a great chance in 2015.

Take us through your decision to return to coaching. What made it happen for you?

The first part for me when I left the Lions was to get a rest from the coaching environment.

I anticipated it would be longer than what it’s turned out to be. But when I was approached to be midfield manager I thought it was a really good opportunity. My enthusiasm is there jumping back into footy with a different coaching group. There’s a good feeling in the group and everyone, especially me, is just really excited about getting to the pointy end of preseason. It’s good to get that competitive head on again and it’s exciting not just for me but for my family.

Tell us about your family and the move?

The family won’t come over until the New Year, but once we are through Christmas, we’re keen to spend the New Year here as a family in Adelaide. That’ll be the new beginning for us.

We’re all Queenslanders, so it’ll be a new, but really good experience coming to Adelaide.

78 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Was it a good time to make the move now, rather than when the kids were a bit older?

The schooling played a big part in it all and it was really important that my family gave their blessing for us to go and do this. What we often do is chase our dreams, as a footballer I did that and as a coach you are trying to do that too. When you’ve got a young family they’ve all got their hopes and ambitions as well, so that’s got to be right in the forefront of your mind when you make a decision like this.

I’VE ALREADY BEEN IMPRESSED BY THE TEAM THAT KEN HAS ESTABLISHED AROUND HIM Talking of chasing the dream, do you still have that ambition to be a senior coach and how does that fit with your role here at Port Adelaide?

I’ve always made decisions based on what I’m doing at the time and while I’ve always got goals, those goals don’t eventuate without focus. I’m really focussed on being part of a good off-field coaching team and providing support for the players that allows them to get out there and achieve the ultimate prize. In the end that’s what we’re all here to do. I’ve already been impressed by the team that Ken has established around him and I know we’ll have challenging discussions, but out of that comes a really strong direction and more clarity for the players to help them get to the next level.

What’s it like now working so closely with an old adversary in midfield coach Josh Carr?

It’s been good. We’ve been bouncing plenty of ideas off each other. I think the great thing about Josh is his absolute competitiveness and will to win. If we can impart some of those characteristics to the group, it will only help them to improve. If he wasn’t the hardest adversary I came up against, he’d be one them for sure. The club has got a good man in Josh Carr and it’s certainly better working with him than against him.

One of your premiership teammates Shaun Hart is also here. How important was it having Harty here, in terms of your decision?

There wouldn’t be a man that I respect more in AFL than Shaun Hart. He’s just so honest, his sole motivation is to help the team. In many ways Harty moving here was an affirmation in itself that this is a good place.

His confidence in Ken and what he’s building was certainly a telling factor in my decision to come to Port Adelaide.

What’s it like to be in the Port Adelaide colours after being part of ‘the enemy’ for so long?

I recently went through my induction into the club and as part of that saw some pictures from the 2004 premiership. You do completely invest yourself in the club you’re involved in and, for a long time, that was Brisbane. The one thing I know now is that the Brisbane Lions are the enemy. That’s the mindset once you go to a new club, so I’m fully Port Adelaide and the team that I spent so much time with is now the enemy.

A PLACE FOR TALENT TO FLY JACOB SURJAN ACADEMY SEASON REVIEW

I

N NOVEMBER LAST year, we started our exciting new Elite Football Academy program.

The aim was to create a new junior football program to fast track the development of players and help them reach their potential.

Ultimately, our aim is to give players the very best a chance of being drafted into the AFL. The Academy team plays each week in the SANFL reserves grade and is made up of contracted senior Magpies who aren’t selected to play League footy and Academylisted players.

While there was some natural disappointment from players within the Academy squad who had missed out on senior contracts, most used that to drive their improvement this season.

All the players came to learn how to play Port Adelaide football.

We wanted them to understand our structures both defensively and offensively so they could play our club’s brand - ideally, you should see our AFL, SANFL League and Academy teams playing the same way every weekend.

You could see significant gains in the boys as they learned our structures and got a feel for what we were trying to do with our fast ball movement, but we also focussed just as much on our defence, and that’s where we saw the greatest improvement.

I’d like to thank everyone who was involved with the Academy this year, in particular my assistant coaches Robert Thompson, Darren Hawkins, Eugene Warrior and Mark Clayton.

Congratulations to both Declan Hamilton and Keenan Ramsey on being drafted to the Western Bulldogs and Adelaide Crows respectively.

Their drafting shows our system is working and we are excited by the prospect of more talented juniors joining this elite program.

It will be challenging to lose the under-age program next season, but we’ve got many young players keen to be part of the Academy.

The start of season 2014 was tough for the boys as we had a few heavy defeats, but I was really happy with the way they stuck at it. For me it was all about driving the standards and about having them buy into achieving the high bar we set.

It’s those guys who missed out on Magpie contracts last season who are setting the standard on the track as they fight to get one of the available positions.

80 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

Declan Hamilton

With 2014 being the final year of the club’s traditional junior program, we blooded a number of kids from the Under-18s in the Academy side.

There is a large group of players out on the track already trying to make the Academy squad and win one of the 15 senior contracts for next year.

We learnt much from Garry Hocking, who was a great mentor to all of us. He really shows the dedication and determination you need to have to succeed at the highest level.

Congratulations to former SANFL skipper and premiership player Mark Clayton, who will be the club’s new Academy Coach.

Their advice and hard work was appreciated, as was the help from our tireless operations team in Scott Peters and Linda Crabb.

We wanted this program to accelerate player development so we can turn these kids into contracted SANFL players or quality that an AFL club wants to pick up.

Despite only recording five wins, it was a very enjoyable season and a great coaching and learning experience for the players and me.

A change to our football department structure in 2015 will see me step into a full-time AFL development role.

That is testament to the great system that the club has set up.

Players have access to some of the best coaches in the country, from top-line fitness staff to experienced AFL coaches - the players learn first-hand what it takes to make it at the highest level.

For some it could give them the extra boost they need to play SANFL or even AFL football.

THE END OF AN ERA MARK CLAYTON UNDERAGE FOOTBALL SEASON REVIEW

W

E CAME INTO THIS season knowing it would be the last for our traditional junior structures and while this was something of great disappointment we wanted to make sure we went into 2015’s new programs with plenty of momentum.

So we went about introducing our players to the fundamentals of Port Adelaide’s football program under Ken Hinkley and preparing them for the next stage of their football careers.

With Garry Hocking and Jacob Surjan coaching our League and Academy teams, there was an opportunity for the Under-18s in our Elite Football Academy to start playing the same style of football as our more senior teams.

We sought to improve skills and game sense throughout the year as we introduced the players to a ‘diluted’ version of the club’s AFL game plan.

Strength development was also an important focus, particularly on educating players on the importance of using correct techniques and conditioning.

Gone are the days where a player would just rock up to a gym and lift weights, we wanted all of our players to be doing the right thing by their bodies, regardless of the level of football they were playing.

Of course, we wanted to win some games along the way as well and, in the end, I think we showed signs of improvement in nearly all of our focus areas.

Unfortunately, not winning the close games during the year cost us one last crack at the finals.

While that was a disappointing end to our season, we were competitive in all-bar-

one game this year, and matched all of our opponents consistently.

We can measure the success of the underage program in many ways and if you consider our main goal, there were some outstanding results.

We played 54 players in total this year, 23 of those have come from our country zone.

At one stage we had 34 players training with the seniors (League contracted players and Academy squad) who were still eligible for Under-18 football.

That shows how young our Academy side was and how far our depth stretched as a football club.

We had five players – Jake Johansen, Keenan Ramsey, Luke Partington, Declan Hamilton and Brad Coulson - play in the state championship-winning under-18 team and two more in the state under-16 side.

Nine players were invited to come and train with the under-18s from the under16s program when their season concluded, ensuring their footy development was able to continue beyond June.

None of these players looked out of their depth, in fact, the under-18’s coaches were surprised by the training standards shown by these young men to elevate the intensity of training.

In total, six of our Under-16s went on to play games in the SANFL Talent Cup at Under-18 level.

Again, they acquitted themselves really well and did not look out of place.

Finishing seventh with seven wins, 11 loses and just one game out of the finals with a better percentage than the teams who finished sixth and fifth, shows how close the competition was.

This was also highlighted by West Adelaide who finished fifth actually going on to win the premiership.

It also shows how important each game, each quarter and each moment on the field is - we lost eight games by under 13 points and four of those were by less than a goal.

We did show how good we could be beating the top side North Adelaide twice. These were the only two minor round losses inflicted on the Roosters.

Overall, we are very proud of the way all our players went about their football this season.

No other club had to deal with the SANFL cutting up their junior zones and handing it to its opposition.

The professionalism everyone showed with the uncertainty of where they would be next year was outstanding.

All of our players and support staff could have easily given up or faded out, but in true Port Adelaide character we never, ever gave up.

Our last game at Alberton was an emotional day for everyone involved with the juniors at Port Adelaide and it was a fitting end to go out beating Glenelg as convincingly as we did.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year so special.

For the players, officials and coaches who helped this year at all of our underage program levels, you are now a part of Port Adelaide history and will forever be part of our club.

On behalf of everyone involved in the Academy development program and the club’s administration, I wish each of our underage players the very best with the next stage in their football journey.

No matter where the road ahead will take these exceptional young men, we must all remember the contribution they have made to our club and hope their path leads them back to our black-and-white jumper, or indeed our black, white and teal ‘V’ guernsey again one day.

They remain Port Adelaide footballers forever more.

DANIEL NORTON

“I said to Kane Cornes after my third season I’d be pumped to just play 50 games. At this rate I might get there after 14 years...”

I

n July, Ken Hinkley stood before the entire Port Adelaide playing group and conceded his biggest regret was not being able to spend more time coaching Dom Cassisi.

The scene was Port Adelaide’s change rooms at the Adelaide Oval where the former captain Cassisi had told his teammates the upcoming weekend’s game against Melbourne would be his last.

Hinkley’s point was clear.

Eighteen months can come and go very quickly, especially in the fast and furious AFL world.

For once, Hinkley was being selfish. He wanted more time with Cassisi, more time to learn about leadership, more time to learn the art of being selfless.

“Dom actually taught me a lot in the very short time we worked together,” reflects Hinkley.

“He taught me how I should act in difficult situations and how to handle situations that may go against you personally, but are better for the entire group.”

It didn’t take long for Hinkley to work out Cassisi’s modus operandi.

One of Hinkley’s first tasks after his appointment as senior coach in October 2012 was to call Cassisi to discuss the club’s captaincy.

“The first conversation I had with Dom was about the captaincy and whether he was the right or wrong person for it moving forward,” recalls Hinkley.

“Immediately I could tell the decision was never going to be about him, it was always what’s best for the team.

“You can imagine, off the back of going through some pretty tough times as captain of the club, to be willing to hand it over when success might be just around the corner sums up Dom’s character.

“As I was talking to him it was clear the guy just wanted the best for this footy club.

“It didn’t matter if he’s got the No. 1 or No. 25 on his back - it’s not about him, but what’s best for the team.”

Cassisi’s first coach Mark Williams knew he had

recruited a diamond from Western Australia with pick 50 at the National Draft 14 years earlier.

“I thought his attack on the ball and his ability as a genuine midfielder could add depth to the group we had,” recollected Williams.

“He came to the club with a great work ethic.

Dom was always compliant and always eager to work hard and get the best out of himself and others around him.”

After being recruited to the club from East Fremantle, Cassisi made his AFL debut in 2002 against Fremantle in his home town of Perth.

His first few seasons at Port Adelaide would be a slow burn, a real test of patience for the eager Cassisi - biding his time to push into the exceptionally strong Power midfield.

By the end of his third season on Port Adelaide’s list Cassisi had played just 18 of a possible 74 games.

“I said to Kane Cornes after my third season I’d be pumped to just play 50 games, at this rate I might get there after 14 years,” laughs Cassisi.

History shows Cassisi soon became a firstchoice player and would retire a 200-game premiership player at Alberton.

A mainstay in Port Adelaide’s line-up by 2004.

Cassisi would play every game in the club’s extraordinary premiership campaign.

Naturally, the premiership is a clear stand out in Cassisi’s decorated career.

“The premiership just holds so much significance to so many players,” said Cassisi.

“It was the first AFL premiership for the club and it was just unbelievable to share it with some players that are just legends of the game, such as Gavin Wanganeen and Warren Tredrea.”

Beyond the premiership, there is another award close to Cassisi’s heart – the Fos Williams Medal.

This honour is named after Port Adelaide patriarch Fos Williams and is voted on by teammates to recognise the player who best demonstrates leadership, selflessness, professionalism, courage and loyalty.

Cassisi won it a record four times in a row and its significance is not lost on him.

YEARBOOK 2014 89

“It means a lot to win the Fos Williams Medal,” Cassisi says.

“What your peers think of you is so important, because they are the guys who share the blood, sweat and tears with you, day in, day out.

“For those players to judge and rate you so highly on our club values is very special.

“I also have so much respect for the Williams family, they mean so much to me.”

Fos Williams’s son Mark knows Cassisi’s outstanding leadership made him a worthy recipient of his father’s medal.

“I’m sure dad would be very proud that Dom has won the award so many times,” says Williams. ”You just don’t win that award unless you are held in the highest regard by the playing group.”

Current Port Adelaide captain Travis Boak affirms the standing of Cassisi in the eyes of the his teammates.

It was the example Cassisi set on the field and in the changerooms that garnered the utmost respect from those who played with him.

“Dom is inspirational,” Boak says.

“The way he went about his footy and the way he played were things that every single player looked up to and said ‘I want to follow this guy.’

“As soon as you ran onto the ground you knew what you were going to get from Dom, and you knew you wanted to play for and with him.

“Off the field he was able to interact with every single player on the list.

“Whether it is a first year player or the oldest player on the list, Dom could connect with anyone.”

Hinkley’s observations of Dom’s leadership and broad appeal over the last 18 months match Boak’s testimony.

“Dom is a role model leader, he’s perfect,” says Hinkley.

“You want your leaders to be people who set the example in work but you also want them to understand nothing is bigger than the team.

“That is Dom’s philosophy - he never puts himself ahead of others.

90 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

“Whether you are regarded as a top-five player on our list or a bottom-five player, Dom treated everyone the same.

“That’s what leadership is about: not getting seduced by talent.”

Cassisi was handed the No. 1 guernsey in 2009 and still remembers the overwhelming feeling of the moment.

YOU KNEW YOU WANTED TO PLAY FOR AND WITH HIM. “When you pull on that No. 1 guernsey, you actually feel the responsibility it carries,” Cassisi explains.

“The non-negotiable for me in having the honour of wearing that jumper was that I simply had to give everything.

“So if I came off knocked out, well, that’s what it has to be. It’s not so much about kicks and handballs, it’s about effort.

“When you pulled on that No. 1 jumper it was not only your armour, but a symbol of 100% effort, and you had to perform in the same way as all our other captains have.”

Cassisi proudly wore the No. 1 in 75 games, although that tally could have been at least one fewer.

He recalls the game against Hawthorn at Football Park in late 2009 when, in trying to win position, his forehead was struck by the back of Hawthorn tough man Jordan Lewis’s head.

The collision left Cassisi with a fractured skull.

“I didn’t miss a game but I should have,” Cassisi admits.

“I had a compressed fracture - basically an indent - in my forehead.

“I had scans throughout the week but decided to play against Fremantle in Perth with a guard and helmet to protect the fracture.

“Straight after the game I got the ‘red eye’ back to Melbourne to have surgery, trained on the Thursday and played the following week - I didn’t miss a game.”

That courage and commitment is what allowed Cassisi to guide the club through some of its most tumultuous and dark times.

During Cassisi’s tenure Port Adelaide would see the resignations of two coaches – Mark Williams and Matthew Primus – Brett Duncanson as club president and a chief executive in Mark Haysman.

All the while he had to manage a shattered playing group devoid of confidence and unsure if the club would continue to exist due to financial hardship and rumblings from external agitators.

“What captain can go through all that and still keep everyone together?” asks Boak.

“Dom just took so much on himself, he’s just so selfless and that sums him up as a person.

“For him to go through all those tough times as a captain and keep us together speaks volumes about Dom as a leader and a person.

“The reason we are starting to experience a bit of success now and hopefully more in the future is because of Dom. He started that.”

Despite the trials and tribulations Cassisi experienced during his time at the helm, one thing never changed – his positive demeanour and healthy sense of humour.

Those who know Cassisi love him most for these qualities; traits passed down from his mum and dad – Lou and Lori – and which he’ll pass onto his two daughters – Eva and Rose – and third child due in May 2015.

But nothing could prepare Cassisi for the tragedy that unfolded on 10 September 2012 when news filtered through from the United States that teammate and friend John McCarthy had lost his life on an end-of-year trip.

“The one thing that always comes to mind above all when I think of Dom is his smile,” Williams says.

Cassisi, himself heartbroken, had to hold together a group who had lost a dear friend.

“He was always smiling and enjoying his footy and he had a wonderful sense of humour.”

Remember, there was no senior coach to lean on for support at this stage. It was just Dom, a young leadership group and grief-stricken squad of players.

“Over a 14-year career you expect to suffer some injuries, you’ll see coaches come and go and maybe a chief executive or president but you never expect to go through the passing of a teammate,” reflects Cassisi.

“We just tried to stick together as a group and support each other, which on reflection was so important.

“The only way we could get through it was to stick together.

“Now I see the tightness of the group and I have no doubt it stemmed from that time, they will now always stick together no matter what the situation is.”

In looking back on that period, Boak questions whether anyone else but Cassisi could have held the group together.

Similarly, Boak remembers a loveable larrikin who was quick with a joke and smile the size of Luna Park’s entrance.

“Dom had that serious side to him but also a lovable cheeky side,” said Boak.

“He always made the group feel good.”

Cassisi retires from football to take up a role in the world of finance with Adelaide-based finance broking firm Funding Options.

On weekends, he’ll still keep an eye on the game he loves as he sits behind the microphone in the Triple M commentary box.

Cassisi hangs up his boots after 228 games, a premiership medallion and four Fos Williams Medals in his trophy cabinet.

Most significantly, he retires with a wealth of admirers and a life-time of memories to remind him and the rest of the football world of his incredible legacy to the game.

ONE GREAT YEAR MATTHEW AGIUS

“To go through a whole season without experiencing the sting of defeat, playing in fourteen matches in the State competition, then meeting the Victorian champions, followed by a combined team chose from the other six South Australian Clubs is hitherto unaccomplished in the annals of firstclass football...”

1914 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB ANNUAL REPORT

W

HEN YOU ARE THE most successful football club in the country, singling out particular records for higher elevation can be a difficult exercise.

And Port Adelaide has plenty of noteworthy achievements to choose from throughout its 144-year history.

You’ve heard them all before: Port Adelaide is the only local club outside Victoria to win a licence to play in the AFL, it holds the Australian record of six consecutive senior premierships.

It is the oldest senior club in South Australia, established in 1870 and becoming a foundation club of the South Australian Football Association in 1877.

Yes, Port Adelaide has achieved many great things.

But none are perhaps greater than what it accomplished a century ago.

It was in 1914 that Port Adelaide did something scarcely imaginable in today’s modern game – it won every single match.

All 12 games of the South Australian Football League (now the SANFL) season and two finals including the grand final.

None could match the Magpies.

Led by captain John Londrigan, Port Adelaide easily backed up its 1913 flag – itself an almost blemishless season – with frightening efficiency.

Today, team unity is king in the rooms of AFL clubs and it was a trait that defined Port Adelaide’s success in 1914.

Devotion and commitment at training, a balanced line-up and a united change room practically without injury - these were all central to Port Adelaide’s red-letter season.

The club’s annual report from that year makes it clear, and a modern-day reading of its century-old words still rings true.

“[Of] the results of the year as a whole, outstanding features were: the excellent balance of the team, which acquired a cohesion at the very commencement of the season, and maintained it to the end without staling off; the perfect harmony and goodfellowship which obtained, not alone amongst the players and general management, but with all other Clubs; and conscientious and unrelaxed attention devoted to training, resulting in a state of fitness and efficiency highly creditable to all concerned.”

Surely these essential elements of 1914 are just as true and relevant in contemporary football.

The cohesion and stability of that Port Adelaide side were the foundation of its remarkable achievements that year.

Notably, Port Adelaide became the first club in South Australia to total 1000 points for the minor round and the gap between its points for and against was the best ever recorded in the SAFL. The club modestly spruiked this achievement, along with the fact it won every game by a minimum eight-goal margin.

And just 75 years before it would famously repeat the feat in the 1989 grand final, Port Adelaide kept North Adelaide to just 1.8 (14) in the grand final.

Jack Ashley won the Magarey Medal, John Robertson was adjudged the best player of the Australian Football Carnival in Sydney, John Dunn topped the goal kicking.

At worst, it could be described as a great year.

But there was plenty more football to come for Port Adelaide in 1914.

As was customary in the pre-war years of intercolonial and interstate football, the premiers of South Australia and Victoria would contest the Championship of Australia.

In this instance, Carlton brought a strong travelling party to the Adelaide Oval to do battle with the Magpies on Saturday 3 October.

There, in front of a large and patriotic crowd, Port did battle with the Navy Blues in what was, for three quarters at least, a tough battle.

YEARBOOK 2014 93

The standard of football was sloppy even until the Magpies booted away in the fourth quarter with 10 scoring shots-to-three.

That result secured Port Adelaide its second consecutive Championship of Australia, having produced the same outcome against Fitzroy in 1913.

The Daily Herald of 5 October that year noted Carlton’s high praise of Port Adelaide’s team. “(Carlton) gave unstinting praise to the Port Adelaide players, to their combination as a team, and to the vim, termination, dash, and brilliancy of the players.”

“J. Gardiner (president of the Carlton Club) thanked the Port Adelaide Club for the fine outing.

1914 SAFL GRAND FINAL 13.15 (93)

“He and all the members of the Carlton Club had felt certain that on this occasion they would take the championship home with them, but they had not done so, and he gave all credit and honour to the Port Adelaide Club.”

On the back of that achievement, Port Adelaide would then be challenged to a final game against a ‘best of the rest’ state side.

Even then, just days after the tough contest against the Carltonians, and with players absent, the black-and-whites produced another masterful performance to defeat the combined South Australian side by 49 points.

A century later, Port Adelaide celebrated its 1914 champions in both AFL and SANFL football.

It was against Carlton at the Adelaide Oval that the club held a ‘Black and White Friday Night’ for supporters to wear their Magpie

1914 CHAMPIONSHIP OF AUSTRALIA 1.8 (14)

9.16 (70)

5.6 (36)

apparel to the game and watch the modern Port Adelaide cruise to a dominant victory over the Blues.

The club hosted known descendants of the 1914 team at the game, and unfurled a giant ‘prison bar’ guernsey banner to be passed around the Oval’s perimeter.

It came after the club donned a commemorative replica of the 1914 guernsey against the Adelaide Crows SANFL team at Alberton earlier in the year.

More than 6000 diehard Port supporters turned out to celebrate the achievement as the modern Magpies put the Crows away with ease.

Few could argue both results were not fitting tributes for a proud club’s big achievement more than 100 years ago.

ONE FINE DAY MATTHEW AGIUS

“They’re the winningest team in Australia. The old Port Adelaide have won 36 premierships, today, at the MCG, may just be their finest hour.”

AFL COMMENTATOR AND JOURNALIST, TIM LANE

YEARBOOK 2014 95

H

OUNDED BY DOUBTERS, ‘CHOKER’ TAGS and shadowed by the three consecutive flags of its game day opponent, Port Adelaide came into the 2004 Grand Final with everything to play for, and everything to lose.

It had hung on to win a nail-biting preliminary final against St Kilda at Football Park the week before, injecting all sorts of emotion into the hearts and minds of player, coach and supporter alike.

After years of coming close, the opportunity to shirk the pressure of expectation to simply make the grand final was welcome.

As premiership defender Damien Hardwick explains, winning through to the grand final felt like the club had been rewarded, finally, for three years of effort.

“There was a probably great deal of pressure on us as a footy club,” says Hardwick, today the senior coach of the Richmond Football Club.

“We’d been through the preliminary finals a few times before and not performed to expectation.

“Then to finally get over the line, it was a great result, it was a little like a grand final celebration after we won that game.

“I reckon there were a lot of players ‘high-fiving’ each other, but also plenty in the crowd.

Kane Cornes, eventually judged by his coaches as the best afield on grand final day the following week, agrees the prelim was unlike any match he’s ever played in.

“It was probably the most high-intensity game that I’ve ever played in,” says Cornes.

“It was the most nervous that I’ve ever been during a match, the whole game the tension and atmosphere was amazing.

“When the siren went, Damien Hardwick came up to me and said ‘This week will be the best week of your life,’ and he was talking about the grand final week, and the build-up and the parade.

“I didn’t really know what to expect, but I’ll never forget those comments that he made to me and it certainly did turn out to be one of the best weeks of my life.”

As good as the week leading into the grand final may have been for the players, the emotional cauldron of the MCG on the last Saturday of September was a very different kettle of fish.

Surrounded by a capacity stadium, against a goliath of football in the form of the triple premier Brisbane, the mountain before the Power was significant.

As Cornes remembers though, there was a calmness and composure within the playing group leading up to the game.

Indeed, a prevailing single-mindedness about the task at hand was present inside the rooms that day - not so spooked as to lose focus, but not so relaxed as to lack the vital intensity needed for the big game.

“We’d been through a period the three years previous where we’d just failed at that prelim final stage.

“I usually get really nervous before any game of footy - even a pre-season game - but for the grand final it was strange,” Cornes says.

“It was a massive sigh of relief for all of us, and finally a just reward for a lot of hard work the players and coaches had done.”

“I was really calm that day, and I think it was from the teammates and older, more experienced heads.

Even today, players say the intensity of that preliminary final was the highest of any game they played in.

“‘Choco’ (Mark Williams) was cracking jokes in the rooms before the game and everyone had a smile on their face.

After all, it’s the game that qualifies you for a crack at the silverware.

“I think the theory was just to really embrace and enjoy it.

“There was a really good, calm feeling about

96 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

what we were going to do, we were just there to get the job done.”

From the moment the first siren sounded, it was clear the grand final would be a battle few involved with Port Adelaide had ever experienced.

A brawl had broken out involving a dozen players before the first bounce and Lion Jonathon Brown had already belted serial Power pest Josh Carr a handful of times.

Carr bounced back though - seven minutes into the opening term - to slot the Power’s first goal of the game on the run from 50 metres, after intercepting a loose ball.

His rushed kick proved straight enough, despite his lack of certainty as the ball sailed over the goal line.

For Carr, in his fifth season with the club, there was no opportunity to celebrate – his side had to get on with the job of three-and-a-half more quarters.

“Kicking the first goal was an amazing feeling, but at the same time it felt like it was the start of something,” says Carr.

“To me, all I could think about was that we had to keep going, stick to the job, stick to the task, and I didn’t get too carried away with any celebrations.

“I look back and think I should’ve given it (the celebration) a bit more than I did, but I just think it was the frame of mind that we were all in – keep going.”

Carr’s opening major launched a couple of goals in quick succession, with ruckman Brendon Lade and acting captain Warren Tredrea following suit by the halfway mark of the quarter.

Tredrea remembers that moment clearly.

The acting captain had seen the work that had gone into getting Lade on the park behind the scenes leading up to the grand final.

The ruckman had battled a back injury up until final selection, earning the nod from the match committee after intensive work from the club’s fitness staff.

But even then, Lade, a foundation player of the club’s inaugural AFL season, hadn’t trained during the club’s main session.

“Ladey kicked that beauty, but people don’t realise that he hadn’t trained the Wednesday before selection,” Tredrea explains.

“His wife, Sarah, was upstairs at the club begging Choco to let him play … and then the physios and medical staff got him in a positive frame of mind and into a space where he could.

“For him to slot that goal from 50 metres, had us thinking that the planets were aligning.

“Then I’d gone back a few minutes later and thought, from 50 out, it was going to take a fair kick to get it in.

“If it’s a big moment, sometimes your nerves kick in, but I was that far out I thought it was worth just having a crack.

“I went back, set my routine, nailed it.”

After three years of finals failure, it finally looked as though the Power was en route to September success.

Even with Jason Akermanis kicking two quick goals for the Lions to chop Port Adelaide’s lead to eight points late in the quarter, a final goal to Byron Pickett to push the margin back out to 15 ensured a positive buzz heading into quarter time.

But the swings and roundabouts of an AFL Grand Final were on show for all to see in the second quarter.

The Power could only bookend four Brisbane goals after quarter time, as the Lions clawed their way back into the game and levelled the scores 20 minutes into the term.

Holding a one-point lead at the main break, it looked like the Lions dynasty was poised to roll on.

How would Mark Williams and Warren Tredrea steer this Power team out of a sudden turn in fortunes?

The answer, in hindsight, was simple.

Outrun, attack and play the game the Port Adelaide way, and on its terms.

While both sides traded goals for the first 20 minutes of the third term, the Power was able to break away late thanks to the brilliance of seasoned finals campaigner Gavin Wanganeen and young live wire Shaun Burgoyne.

Wanganeen booted two crucial majors to assist the Power out to a three-goal advantage at the final change.

He would prove instrumental in Port Adelaide’s premiership quarter.

“I just realised the importance of that second goal, I think it pretty much sank them (Brisbane),” Wanganeen recalls.

“I remember putting my arms up to celebrate – I’d never done that before.

“Over the years, if I kicked a goal I had told myself that I wouldn’t celebrate unless it was the goal of the year, I’ve done that all my career.

“Except for grand final day.”

From there, Port Adelaide was able to cruise to the final siren, a five-goal-to-one fourth quarter ensured that.

While the Lions began to fall behind the running Power, there was no let up from the soon-to-be premiers.

“It’s a really overwhelming feeling that comes upon you, that takes you over with so many different emotions.

“There’s pure happiness, pride, you feel rewarded, happy for your teammates, supporters, family – it’s why you play footy.

“That moment when the siren went was the best moment of my career, without a shadow of a doubt.”

For premiership coach Mark Williams, the feeling is the same, even today.

“I was lucky enough to play in winning ones and you can talk to players about playing in winning ones, but they have to live it,” says Williams.

“For all our staff, players, supporters, sponsors to actually live the dream that we’ve talked about for a fair time, it was great.”

Port Adelaide’s 2004 premiership team enjoyed a 10-year reunion at the Intercontinental Hotel in Adelaide in November.

Everyone lifted.

While Wanganeen banged home two early goals to push the margin out to 29 points, Pickett injected brilliance through the midfield with gutsy and courageous running.

That running would draw the approval from the media box to anoint the West Australian as the newest recipient of the Norm Smith Medal.

Kane Cornes had kept Simon Black quiet all day in an impressive 19-disposal performance of his own and Peter Burgoyne racked up 25 touches in one of his best ever performances.

A LIFE IN FOOTBALL DANIEL NORTON

Peter Rohde left his desk at Alberton one last time in December 2014 after calling time on a career in football spanning over three decades. His last 10 years have been spent as Port Adelaide’s football chief, but his career in football began in a vastly different place and time...

P

ETER ROHDE WAS ONE of four boys who grew up on a farm in country Victoria near Bendigo.

He and his three brothers did what all young men do when growing up in the 1970s – kicked the footy from paddock to paddock trying to emulate their footballing heroes.

For Rohde, he didn’t have to look too far for footballing heroes.

His grandfather and two great uncles played football for local club Sandhurst with his father following in their footsteps several years later.

Growing up, Rohde was surrounded by football and football surrounded Rohde.

He and his brothers would cut their teeth at Sandhurst and by the age of 16 Rohde was playing senior football for Bendigo.

Living in the Carlton country recruiting zone, Rohde trained in the Blues’ junior development squads before progressing through to the seniors in 1983 when he played two night games and another two the following year.

It wasn’t until 1985 that Rohde made his VFL League debut in a match he fondly remembers for many reasons.

“I remember my first game clearly,” Rohde recalls.

“Stephen Silvagni debuted on the same day and we played Geelong at Princes Park.

“There were brawls going on left, right and centre with Mark Jackson and David RhysJones right in the thick of it.

“Before the game, Bruce Doull, who would barely say a word, came up to me and said just position yourself out on the wing and I’ll get the ball to you every time.

“It seemed to work OK that day.

“I ended up with over 30 possessions which was more than I would ever get in a single game for the remainder of my career, and I got two Brownlow votes.

“Fair to say it was all downhill from there because I never got more than one Brownlow vote in a game for the rest of my career.”

Rohde would spend another three years at Carlton, but despite training all of the 1988 pre-season and playing the first game of the year for the Blues in the reserves, he would find himself at a new club by Round 2.

“I trained all pre-season at Carlton and then on the eve of the season (Carlton boss) Ian Collins called me in for a chat,” Rohde remembers.

“He said there’s this thing called a salary cap that the league is starting to take seriously and we are under pressure, so we need to clear you to another club to free up more space.

“The following Tuesday, I was training at Melbourne and played for them in the reserves the following Saturday.

“In short, I played the first game of 1988 for Carlton reserves against Footscray and then I played the second game of the year for Melbourne... against Footscray.

“It was a strange experience because I hardly knew anybody’s name.”

Rohde made his League debut for Melbourne later that year, consolidated his place in 1989 and would go on to forge a great career as a hard-nosed defender until his retirement at the end of 1995 with 163 league games to his credit – 46 with the Navy Blues and 117 with the Demons.

As a qualified school teacher, coaching was in Rohde’s blood and upon his retirement as a player he joined Norwood as its senior coach in the SANFL in 1996.

Rohde enjoyed immediate success, guiding the Redlegs into the preliminary final against Port Adelaide, where they fell agonisingly short after a Scott Hodges freak goal seconds before the siren ended their premiership dream.

A year later Rohde and Norwood exacted revenge over Port Adelaide by convincingly claiming the 1997 SANFL premiership.

Rohde would spend a further two years at the Parade before taking up an assistant coaching opportunity at the Western Bulldogs under Terry Wallace in 2000.

After Wallace was dumped in the penultimate round of 2002, Rohde took over as interim senior coach, winning his first game at the helm.

He would soon be appointed senior coach of the Western Bulldogs in his own right, but after winning the first game of 2003 things started to head south rapidly.

“As a senior coach I actually won my first two games – the last of 2002 and the first of 2003,” says Rohde.

“I thought this caper was pretty good until I learned straight after our Round 1 win in 2003 that our champion key position player Chris Grant had done his knee and would be out for at least a year.

“It brought me down to earth pretty quickly and the challenges rolled in from there.”

Rohde was dumped as senior coach of the Bulldogs at the end of 2004, but was still passionate about football and very keen to stay involved in the game.

YEARBOOK 2014 99

His resilience, character and pragmatism helped us to ride through these difficult times.

Weeks later, Rohde would take a call from incoming Port Adelaide chief executive John James that would more than satisfy his desire to remain at the elite level.

James, along with Port Adelaide senior coach Mark Williams, flew to Melbourne to discuss the opportunity for Rohde to become Port Adelaide’s next General Manager of Football.

Days later, Rohde had a follow up meeting at the Lakes Hotel at West Lakes in front of a full Port Adelaide contingent.

All parties shook hands by the end of the discussion and Rohde drove back up West Lakes Boulevard excited, but knowing significant challenges were in front of him as the Power’s new football chief.

“It was a daunting time to join the club weeks after they had just won the 2004 premiership,” recollected Rohde.

“Beyond that, we had a football department that was under-resourced at the time, we had just lost assistant coach Alastair Clarkson and head fitness coach Andrew Russell to Hawthorn and we were one of only a few clubs that didn’t have a full-time recruiting manager, which certainly made it difficult at the time.”

Fast forward 10 years and Rohde has seen it all.

The challenging files that were sitting on his desk in November 2004 pale into insignificance compared to the circumstances that Rohde has had to confront during his final years at Alberton.

The worst was when Rohde was called into chief executive Keith Thomas’s office on the morning of 10 September 2012 to learn the that player John McCarthy had passed away on an end-of-season trip to Las Vegas.

“I certainly didn’t expect to be confronted by that news when I drove to work on that Monday morning,” remembered Rohde.

Rohde boarded a plane for Las Vegas that day, and would be the main liaison for the club during the investigation.

100 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

He was also tasked with returning McCarthy’s body home.

“I simply did what any person would do in my position and I must say the professionalism of the FBI was amazing and they did everything they could possibly do to make the process run smoothly,” says Rohde.

“Without doubt it was an enormously confronting time for all involved at the club.

“In some ways we were all in shock.

“I remember returning home from Las Vegas on the Friday hoping it was all just a horrible nightmare.”

Beyond the obvious challenge of dealing with the McCarthy tragedy, Rohde says the biggest football test related to the period between 2008 and 2010.

“I think the greatest challenge was trying to keep the place together when we all knew we had a team that was ageing and going downhill, didn’t have the resources to replace them, yet all still had high expectations,” says Rohde.

“From 2008 to 2010 we knew we were up against it, so many of our 2004 premiership players were retiring and we just couldn’t get game time into our quality younger players due to injury.

“Of course from a recruiting perspective, we were hamstrung by the introduction of the expansion clubs on the Gold Coast and in western Sydney.

“Our three earlier picks in exchange for Shaun Burgoyne in 2009 were a deliberate strategy to get younger players on our list ahead of the introduction of the expansion clubs.”

Rohde notes the recruiting strategy from 2006 to 2009 has produced the majority of the club’s current list.

“The greatest sense of achievement I get is seeing young players come into our club and develop and we think we’ve done that very well with the likes of Boak, Carlile, Gray, Westhoff, Lobbe and Paul Stewart,” says Rohde.

“Any way you measure our current list, you would think we’re in a pretty good position - the age profile is balanced with a lot of players about to enter the prime of their careers.

“I think we’re set up well but by the same token people have to understand that this is a brutal, competitive competition and it’s so hard to climb the ladder and get back up to the same position time and again.”

Port Adelaide chief executive Keith Thomas paid homage to Rohde’s contribution to football.

“For Peter to play over 160 games at Carlton and Melbourne is very significant in its own right,” says Thomas.

“We are talking a brutally competitive period of VFL/AFL football where the competition was filled with stars and you had to earn each kick.

“But then when you also consider his coaching career at Norwood in the SANFL, where he won a premiership, and in the AFL for the Western Bulldogs and then to able to turn his attention so successfully to a football administration career here at Port Adelaide adds up to a simply outstanding career at football’s highest level.”

When reflecting on his time at Alberton, Thomas said Rohde will leave behind a huge legacy after 10 years of exceptional service.

“Peter started here at Port Adelaide at the end of 2004, almost immediately after our premiership,” he says.

“Just think how much our club and the game of football has changed over that period.

“Peter has remained the one constant that was critical in keeping our football department together.

“History shows he facilitated the process of transitioning our entire football program, which often involves a great deal of pain, uncertainty and difficulty, and that is where his resilience and pragmatism came to the fore.

“His character helped us to ride through these difficult times, to the point now that the

club is back on the brink of a new period of sustained success.

“He can look back on his career with Port Adelaide with enormous pride.”

Rohde leaves Port Adelaide without a premiership but with many wonderful memories and friendships.

“I thank all the Port Adelaide chief executives – Brian Cunningham, John James, Mark Haysman and Keith Thomas – for their support over the last 10 years along with the club presidents and board of directors,” Rohde says.

“The one thing I will always maintain is that, all the way through, everyone I’ve worked with here at Port Adelaide always had the very best interests of the club at heart.

“You might criticise some of the decisions that have been made over the journey but everyone was always trying to do it with the best intentions of the club at heart.

Instead of managing over 60 football staff, Rohde’s next chapter in his working life will see him oversee 67 health clubs around Australia as owner of EFM Corporate.

“It’s certainly another challenge. I’ve always wanted to do something out of footy.

“I didn’t want my whole working life defined by footy, so after 33 years it’s a good change.

“I will miss the winning and losing aspect of football though.

“A football club like Port Adelaide is a pretty unique place to come and work. Everyone is so committed to being good, every day they are here.

“Not too many people get to work in an environment that is so driven all the time and I consider myself so fortunate to have been able to do it for over 30 years.”

FIELD OF DREAMS MATTHEW AGIUS WITH PICTURE EDITORIAL BY ANDREW FUSS

102 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB 102 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

The Power celebrate winning the first Showdown at the Oval

LIKE St Peter’s just a droppunt away, the Adelaide Oval is now very much a cathedral for the faithful

“WE’LL MAKE YOU PROUD.”

They’re four very simple words spoken by Ken Hinkley to Geof Motley on the eve of Port Adelaide’s full-time return to the historic home of South Australian football.

The place was the lip of the Adelaide Oval playing arena, where Motley had just pulled the covers off the placard dedicating his club’s new players’ race to him.

One can only imagine what Motley was thinking as he gazed across the freshly laid turf of a field on which he won nine SANFL premierships – more than any man in Australia - in the club’s black-and-white guernsey.

Surrounded by three monolithic grandstands, the ground had evolved significantly in 40 years.

Port Adelaide was about to ‘come home’ to one of its historic fortresses – a place of 20 flag triumphs and the ground where thousands of South Australians witnessed many legends of the game in full flight.

But four decades is a long time in football, and the form of game Port Adelaide would play on its return to the Oval was bigger, more grandiose.

Now, the game is elite, with millions of dollars spent on players, coaches and resources in the drive to win an AFL premiership.

Certainly, many millions were spent on the redevelopment of the ground.

And ‘wow factor’ off the arena, as well as on it, is increasingly important in the ultra-competitive world of sports entertainment.

So if Motley wondered what his football club would achieve at the Adelaide Oval in 2014, if he wondered how the club would make him and the players like him who built Port Adelaide into the most successful club in Australia, proud, then it would need to pull off something special.

Arguably, it did.

Not only did Port Adelaide assert the strength and power it made its trademark during Motley’s time half a century ago, but it used 2014 to truly transform the people’s ground that the Oval has always represented into just that.

Its people’s ground.

With the wide-ranging and all-embracing March from the Mall seeing a steady advance of Port Adelaide’s faithful converge on the stadium before the game, the roar of sound that welcomes team onto the arena, and the remarkable crowd-wide rendition of the INXS hit ‘Never Tear Us Apart’, the 2014 season has been one full of colour, noise and excitement for the followers of South Australia’s oldest, continuous football club.

Indeed, it’s been an experience embraced and envied across the Australian Football landscape.

And while Hinkley had little time to fully absorb the atmosphere of the Oval from the intense world of the coaches’ box, he still felt it - just like every supporter in the stand, and player and official on the turf.

It’s the collective contribution of every Port Adelaide person at the game that has made the Adelaide Oval, as labelled by outsiders, a socalled ‘Portress’.

That, more than any on-field achievement or individual effort, is what filled Hinkley with pride this year – the total involvement of the Port Adelaide community in getting the club over the line time and again.

To many, it’s more than just a fortress for the football club, a worthy sister of the club’s spiritual stronghold at Alberton.

Like St Peter’s just a drop-punt away, the Adelaide Oval is now very much a cathedral for the faithful.

It’s a place Port Adelaide can call home, a sanctuary which its people have transformed into a truly ‘Port Adelaide’ arena.

“I think we all predicted Adelaide Oval was going to be great for South Australia, for football in the state and for both teams,” says Hinkley.

“But on the ground you can just feel the support for the team before and after the game.

“Like the team, our supporters have come together at the right time to make a statement as a football club.

“The more our supporters get there and fill the place up, the more our team wants to lift for them.

YEARBOOK 2014 103

Port Adelaide supporters filled the Adelaide Oval for the first Showdown in March.

“For me there’s been nothing more exciting and pleasing, and has made me more proud, than going to Adelaide Oval and filling the place up with our members.

“We were lucky enough to have the Adelaide Oval tagged ‘The Portress’ and I think that’s because of what we have done there.

the game, which makes Port Adelaide different.

The odds of being the smaller club in town, being hated by every other club in the state, of its underdog history and the need to fight on, and on, to reach new and greater heights.

Port Adelaide isn’t just a football club.

It’s practically an ideology.

“It’s easy for me to say I’m really proud of a player or the team, but I think for me it’s about being proud what we’ve been able to do as a whole club.”

And it’s the best kind – it’s about being committed to being the best, and getting even better at it.

In a competition with 18 clubs, with many like Port Adelaide harking from an old-fashioned suburban base and the rest cut from similar cloth as upstart entities, the opportunity to stand out from the crowd is difficult.

“I’ve been at Geelong – a great football club with a suburban background, and very similar to Port Adelaide – but there just seems to be something different about the Port Adelaide history,” Hinkley says.

Clubs like Collingwood have embraced it as the big, famous footy team of Victoria.

“Maybe it is the ‘We Exist To Win Premierships’ slogan, but simply this club just wants to be great, all the time.

Fremantle did it with a comprehensive re-brand with its striking purple-and-white guise easily recognisable at Subiaco and on the television screen.

Even newcomers like the Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney use new stadiums dyed in their colours to make their mark on the league.

Port Adelaide, though, has worked as a collective team and supporter base to create a complete on and off-field experience.

It’s a relevance – a point-of-difference – that stands out as a source of significant pride for Hinkley and his players.

“We’ve become relevant in this competition and got everyone wanting to watch what we do, and how we play,” Hinkley says.

“That’s quite satisfying, as a coach, and I’m sure the players and everyone that works at the club feels that too.

“It’s easy to reflect on the football team, it’s harder to reflect on the football club.”

Of course, at the heart of the Adelaide Oval’s success as an arena for sporting and entertainment spectacle, is Port Adelaide’s supporters.

They’re loud, they’re certainly proud, they’ve been the lifeblood of this football club from Glanville to Alberton, and from Adelaide Oval to Football Park and back again.

Hinkley played and coached at Geelong, and as far as football clubs go, Geelong would be one of the most similar to Port Adelaide.

Based in a Port town, and just 10 years older, the Cats’ traditional working class supporter base has seen the highs and lows of football over many years, and many premierships.

But Hinkley sees a difference between the two clubs.

For him, it’s the shared commitment, by club staffer, coach, footballer and supporter alike, to a fanatical, almost unrelenting pursuit of success against the odds, and at every level of

104 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

“It’s a really tough thing to deliver, but it’s something that sets the club apart.

“You just understand what the club is about when you arrive at Alberton, you understand the passion and our supporters show it every week, the players show it every week.

“It’s almost indescribable, the passion - what it is and what it feels like.

“But it’s there and it’s so important to the club.”

That passion has transformed Port Adelaide in the two years since the arrival of Hinkley, and others, within the walls of Alberton.

It’s invigorated the field of dreams that Adelaide Oval is proving to be.

The imaginations of Port Adelaide supporters have been captured by the heritage and history that the Oval and their club share, and they have injected a modern appeal into it.

Did Port Adelaide do the likes of Motley and his fraternity of elder club statesmen proud this year?

Was there a moment that summed the season up?

Arguably, it was the ground’s final game for the season, and first ever AFL final.

Wearing the guernsey worn with pride by so many Port Adelaide warriors on that turf, it was apt that the club wore its famous black-andwhite guernsey against Richmond on the first weekend of September.

That win over Richmond was stirring and emphatic, it was what Motley and those watching the game from the stands around him were hungry for, and it’s what captain Travis Boak and his teammates delivered.

And it’s why Port Adelaide’s true believers dare to dream of greater things at this undisputed people’s ground in 2015 and for years to come…

HALLOF

FAME 110 PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB

They are some of the biggest names to have played for Port Adelaide and 2014 marked the year their contribution to Australian Football was recognised nationally and in South Australia...

T

HIS YEAR SAW THREE former Port Adelaide players and a current assistant coach inducted into both the Australian and South Australian Football Halls of Fame, in recognition of their sterling contribution to the game.

The club was graced with two inductees to the Australian Football Hall of Fame, with the club’s 2004 premiership captain, Warren Tredrea and 1994 SANFL premiership player Andrew McLeod receiving honours this year.

They became the club’s 11th and 12th inductees into the honour roll.

Having joined the club as junior players in the early 1990s, the pair would ultimately take separate pathways on the national stage.

While Tredrea would go on to establish himself as the club’s first AFL premiership captain and all-time leading goalkicker, McLeod would make his way to the Adelaide Crows – Port Adelaide’s local rival in the national competition.

Their shared origin as Port Adelaide players in the club’s black-and-white guernsey is something of which both are proud.

For Tredrea, it is a special honour to be one of few players to be part of both Port Adelaide AFL and SANFL premiership sides.

“There are no guarantees when you come into the AFL system and for me I just wanted to get my name on a locker, so to finish with a SANFL premiership and an AFL premiership is something special to me,” Tredrea says.

“To do it all at the one club carries a bit of significance.

“Russell Ebert obviously played a year at North Melbourne and Gavin Wanganeen started at Port, went to Essendon and then came back – but everyone remembers their achievements as Port Adelaide players.

“With other great names you see even in the club’s own Hall of Fame like Williams, Bradley and Motley, you appreciate the significance of receiving this honour.

“It’s really humbling.”

Former captain and coach Matthew Primus, and popular enforcer Chad Cornes were both inducted into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame in July, along with the club’s current AFL forwards coach Tyson Edwards.

The pair were just the fifth and sixth ‘Powerera’ players to be installed into the South Australian honours list following successful playing careers with the club in the AFL, joining previous inductees Josh Francou, Warren Tredrea and Gavin Wanganeen.

Many regard Primus as the club’s best AFL captain, having provided exemplary leadership of the club during its most successful AFL period.

While injury cruelled his place in the club’s first AFL premiership side, his team-first attitude through the successful 2004 campaign is often praised by the teammates, coaches and club staff who saw it first hand.

Primus led by example throughout his career, named an All-Australian in 2001 and winning the John Cahill Medal in 2002, he played for his teammates and for the jumper with passion, pride and commitment.

Following his retirement in 2005, Primus would rise through the club’s coaching ranks and eventually stand-in as caretaker senior coach following Mark Williams’s departure midway through 2010.

He was promoted to the club’s senior coaching role for the 2011 season and led the club through a difficult transitional period before himself standing down from the role near the end of 2012.

While he has since moved to Queensland to continue as an assistant coach with the Gold Coast Football Club, Primus remains a fond favourite among the club’s legion of loyal supporters to have ridden the wave of early success since 1997.

YEARBOOK 2014 111

While Primus earned the love of true believers for his strong leadership, Cornes got it for his trademark toughness.

Look up the word ‘hard’ in a Port Adelaide dictionary, and Cornes would be its definition.

He was brutal not only in the way he attacked the game, but in the way he lifted for the big occasions.

Getting in the faces of his opponents, provoking them, inspiring his teammates when the chips were down, Cornes was a classic example of a football warrior.

Like Primus, he could lift a band of teammates to a new level and could carry a side to victory.

A vice-captain to Warren Tredrea, he won his own fair share of honours, including the Showdown Medal in 2006 and the Peter Badcoe VC Medal in 2007.

He was an All-Australian in each of the club’s grand final years.

Tyson Edwards, an assistant coach at Port Adelaide since 2012, was also inducted into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame for his achievements in a 321-game career with the Adelaide Crows after being drafted from West Adelaide.

YEARBOOK 2014 143

Look who else established a Portress this year.

Though we can’t match the Power crowds’ deafening roar, DW Fox Tucker’s nigh on as hard to beat here in Adelaide.

One of SA’s strongest independent commercial law firms, we were established on 1 October 2014 when the former partners of Donaldson Walsh joined with those of Fox Tucker to create an entirely new, full-service firm.

The already significant strengths of both predecessors have been greatly enhanced, allowing us to provide an outstanding breadth of experience and the capability to handle any commercial matter of any size or complexity.

But if there’s one thing we specialise in, it’s putting clients’ needs first. So whatever your business or commercial objectives, don’t hesitate to contact us.

At DW Fox Tucker, you’ll matter most.

Proud sponsors of, and official legal services provider to, the Port Adelaide Football Club.
