Dear Members and Supporters,

I promised to have an update for you at the end of the week, so here it is.

The Port Adelaide Football Club directors met today to consider a new offer from the SANFL which would enable all of our AFL-listed players to play for the Magpies in the SANFL next year (when they aren't selected to play for the Power).

Quite simply, we weren't willing to accept the proposal as it was presented to us.

We will seek further clarification from the SANFL on a few key issues early next week and work forward on formulating our plans from there.

I know there has been much speculation surrounding what we might decide on these matters in the media, but I can assure you that we have the best interests of the club at heart and won't be railroaded into rushing a decision which might jeopardise those interests.

I want to end the week on a positive note.

The amount of work that has gone into preparing our fantastic send off for AAMI Stadium on Saturday is incredible and I know you'll all be blown away by the pre-game entertainment at the ground!

So many past greats of this footy club are coming to watch the game, and you'll be able to see them at 3:45pm in our Legends motorcade - names like Russell Ebert, Brian Cunningham, Tim Ginever, John Cahill, Greg Phillips, Gavin Wanganeen, Warren Tredrea and Brett Ebert.

We'll also have a 'premiership parade' showcasing even more of our past players who will represent each of our 13 SANFL flags won at the ground and the 2004 AFL premiership.

It's also Member Recognition Round and 22 lucky members will be selected to receive a guernsey from one of our players on the field at the end of the game. 

I look forward to seeing as much black and white at the game tomorrow, it's not often we get to wear the old prison bars in the AFL, so let's make sure it's a day to remember!

See you there,
KT
