Kane Cornes reveals contract between Coll + Port on 'Prison Bars' - Footy Classified | Footy on Nine 

Two hours later of him giving his own biased account with out even taking a breathe ....note none of which is giving an answer to the question he was asked ....Eddy should have been a politician.

What Eddie said was spot on. You cant just stroll i with an outdated contract that isnt supported by anything that is in the current game (i.e. no heritage round) and point to it saying they can legally wear the black and white. They signed the colours and pattern away when they joined the AFL. They have no legal or moral claim to wear the guernsey and shouldnt be allowed.. and for the record, l support neither Port Adelaide or Collingwood.

He answered the question clearly, or did you not listen?

@@onlymurgs Mate. If Heritage Round does not exist, then the contract is null and void. Very simple. Also, the fact only Eddie knew about the removal of Heritage Round is akin to insider trading. It's further proof that Eddie McGuire has had the AFL in his back pocket for well over a decade.

@@canadianbacon3021 Not at all. Port were free to make a contract and go with what those conditions were. Other clubs knew about the heritage round being ended. Port chose to specify the jumpers could be worn during heritage rounds and did not implement a clause to allow for another occasion if heritage round should no longer be a thing. They were free to research the contract conditions and find out more about the sustainability of heritage round. they did not, got a bad deal for themselves and now they are crying about it.

No, he’s saying amongst his peers most hated it and they knew it wouldn’t last. Eddie didn’t have to sign anything. It was Port trying to get permission to wear the colours and jumper they agreed to abandon to join the AFL. Outside of an all-league heritage round he didn’t want them wearing it or promoting it, because he knew in the future they’d want to rebrand and wear it more and more. And he was right.

@@MrNetMan11 I can see what you're saying and for the record, I'm a bit of a stickler and think Eddie is right about holding Port to their agreements when joining the league. It's clear Port is not holding it's end of this particular contract with Collingwood by selling the jumpers - it's crazy they're even drawing attention to the contract given their in breach of it. But even if I accept your interpretation that Eddie and thr clubs knew heritage round was on its way out, it's clear Port didn't know that because they hinged the entire agreement on being able to play once a year in the jumper on this round. It's kinda silly that they limited the agreement to playing on heritage round when really I think the spirit is that they wanted to wear it once a year. The fact is, I think Eddie is lying when he says he knew heritage round was on the way out, that's just hid usual spin to distract from the fact that he has yet again supported an inititive he eventualky dislikes down the track - just like COLA. The irony remains because he is effectively caught in a lie. On the one hand he seeks to save face by admitting he signed a contract in bad faith but then also wants to be seen as having higher standards of honestly because he's so trustworthy, his hanshakes and word is as good as a contract. He can't have it both ways.

@@Eiraqucam Technically the agreement would have been once every two years since it has to be a Port home game. I think the problem here stems from allowing Port to claim they’re a 150 year old club rather than a 24 year old club. Normally no one would really care, but they just happened to clash with Collingwood Magpies who have always made a huge point of never substantially changing their jumper or colours. I mean, many Port supporters were probably also Collingwood supporters pre-1997.

Agree entirely with the first comment. The insufferable Eddie speaks about Lindsay Fox saying to have a friend you need to be a friend, what utter drivel when he then goes onto admit he knew heritage round was going to cease to exist when he signed the contract and then hangs his hat on Port manufacturing some jumpers breaking the conditions of the contract. He's a weasel, always has been.

It sounds more like a compromise to help the new club pull support from old port pies fans. Sadly this is the hill alit of people will die on.

@@ABRoss new club? Had won a premiership by then. Any true port fans wouldve already given their full support

How is that dodgy? It's just understanding the landscape around the agreement, and acknowledging that the deal is time-limited. Nothing dodgy just business. The cancellation of the heritage round then they have failed to manage their own business. Although Eddie said they were aware that the deal was time limited.

@@matth3914 that makes 0 sense.

@@imalwaysright you don't work in a commercial job do you? I'd also dare say you're not always right... 🤣

Well said, it is an absolute joke isn't it? Their own supporters can't even wear their proper colours and agreed on never tear us apart, they have ruined that song for me

Its not really about the jumpers though is it? Its about the brand, the black and white stripes, the magpie and of course the merchandising dollars. Before I watched this I was on Port's side I think but now seeing that they have made merch that could be mistaken for Collingwood stuff I think my opinion has changed.

@@BorkenGarage it’s still amazing to watch

I'm having a great laugh that Port Adelaide Power celebrate a 150th when they've been in the AFL since 1997... That "two team one club" nonsense and them dropping "Power" from their name came about when they were on the brink of bankruptcy in 2010-11 so they decided to merge their history with their SAFL side. What a bunch of clowns

@@marcusmansfield2019 Yeah absolutely. You can see Eddie and Kochie and Kane all trying to cover off each others arguments like little kids who are in trouble. But Mum, he did this, and he said that, and only Collingwood are allowed to wear that colour! Waah waah.

That would be amazing

Too late.... Eddie KO'd lil Kane'o at the desk!

@@raifintune and pink look it up ports real colours were black white a PINK

That's what I was thinking. It's a way to honour the combination of the two clubs. Would look pretty cool too if the teal was at a thinner width to accent the black

@@anthonywyndham Yes there’s many options with the uniform. I think maybe this is more than just about the uniform, they are both Presidents/ex and are in media so they are similar in ways, battle of egos?

@@SirSSau I honestly think it is Kochie just trying to take more than they are entitled to. As Eddie said, they' have even started putting the magpie on their scarf etc. If I were the AFL I would be putting a stop to that straight away. I think Eddie is right to be annoyed, especially at the likes of Kane Korns who continually brings it up to be annoying and without understanding even the most simple fo contracts. Collingwood has the right to their mascot, and the shades (black and white are not colours) they have chosen, represented in the way that they are and Port can suck a fat one as far as I'm concerned. It will be nice watching them lose a prelim this year or even better a GF.

Arguments been settled since 2007. Been signed off by 2 south Australians and a Victorian. Port Adelaide needs to stop sooking and obey by the contract.

@@jasonfleming3328 yep only one team here in SA that wears prison bar gurnsey and that's the port magpies not the power

Answer is no and will always be a no. Port signed off to it. Can't call it Vic bias when two south Australians signed it. You want magpies then go make your own league. Tassie or nt would be happy to take your spot. Funny how the aditude changed when no points will be given to wearing the jumper. Lol was happy to just pay the fines lol. Poor koshie

Well SpEddie is apparently going to take it to the High Court.

@@Karrthus yeah and they will win. Trademarks will kill them. And also signing off to a contract and not obeying them. Port Adelaide came into the AFL as power. Not magpies. As the video said it's been signed by the ceo of port Adelaide also by gill and Eddie. Not Eddie's fault AFL scraped heritage round. Port Adelaide should of looked at it properly instead of signing it. Lol port Adelaide been sucked In by a smart man lol. Even has more brains then koshie. Fancy calling it Vic bias when two south Australians signed it. Lol someone should tell koshie that gills south Australian and politics should be left out in a game of footy. Why did koshie drag in the premier of sa for? Even the premier don't even know where gill comes from either. Lol

Regardless, he's right about this.

Did you want a tissue

"It not a money making exercise, they sold 5000 of them..they made 40 bucks profit, that's 200 grand". He is quite stupid isn't he?

Because he talks constantly .

I follow westcoast but surely if the two Adelaide teams are playing in Adelaide then that is the time to wear the original port Adelaide jumper.

@@kindregardless I don't know, it seems like a lot of time and effort to make us look like NFL refs. However Port playing in that jumper would make my dad happy, so that's something,

@@1969cmp No they’re not. Collingwood were the Magpies from 1892. Port didn’t adopt the black and white until 1902, 32 years after they were founded.

@@woodsmen9844 ....fair enough....but the Port Magpie Jersey is still different enough and I don't the problem with them using it v Crows.

Yep they got to get over it a move on

they chose teal 🤣 they have to live with it.

Geelong blue and white .......carlton blue and white .....north melbourne ...light blue and white ..... Any nonAFL person would think Eddy Maguire is the spokesperson and CEO of the AFL. Im glad he is not.

@@carlosrandel7641 not quite. The blues are the navy blues, North are light blue and Geelong are predominately white with hoops. Port are trying to be black and white stripes with a magpie.

@@mickypoo Apparently there is 50 shades of grey though ....

Exactly. I’ve got Brisbane fan friends and they love the fact that in every Melbourne game they wear a Fitzroy styled jumper, I honours and respects the traditions and the past of a rich in history football club

Are you a dill? Port Powers heritage jumper is black, white and TEAL!!!

i’ll be fine w them having the jerseys if they don’t play tear us apart

but it is a showdown but still I feel bad that they cant wear it it's goofy kinda but funny

@@Toastroony they didn’t let Adelaide wear a south Australian guernsey when they wanted to wear one

Because the black and white striped jumper is Collingwood’s intellectual property. Imagine how much of a stink Richmond would kick up if a team started playing in yellow and black jumper. Each team has their own logo, mascot and colours. Port Adelaide POWER are Teal, Black and White. Everything that happened before 1997 is irrelevant to their so called “heritage”

@@jeremyclarksonfragrance but seriously who cares. Fremantle have played in red and white, I’ve never heard Sydney go mental. It’s just a pissing contest between McGuire and Koch. No one cares.

All of you don’t have a true passion, spirt, culture and tradition that Port Adelaide has. Men that were legends for Port Adelaide in the SANFL wore that gurney and lived by the passion and desire of black and white prison bars. We don’t want to wear this every round in and out we just want to wear it on 2 occasions a year to represent the past players, coach’s and legends of the Port Adelaide football club and acknowledge there significant great affect they had on the club.

Start self-loathing

Been there, done that, mate. As this whole thing including Zebra stripes/prison bars debacle is getting out of whack quickly then we do the shopping. 🤪🤷‍♂️

They aren't asking for the Magpie, they're only asking for the Black and White bars

there not taking the magpie there taking the design. just like essendon and the tigers. same but different. its understandable that port are mad about this.

Grimm

Pick a jumper and stick to it, be your own club and be original. Port Power, not Port Magpies lol

Lol legit. He exposed himself by saying he knew heritage round was going to end so pretty much admitting he signed the contract in bad faith as he was privy to information others weren't and knew Port wouldn't be able to wear it very long. He then exposes himself too by bringing up the 'did you take money to go to teal' which again just shows that he bankrolled a broken club who was desperate at the time and now wants to hold them to it. Textbook business strategies from a rich club over the small club

Exactly. Port asked to enter the AFL not the other way around. Having to magpie teams with basically identical jumpers is ridiculous.

They aren't the same jumper, other sports leagues work out how to share. Collingwood refuse to make a new design for basically any reason, they're the problem.

@@BlackGateofMordor A club thats been in the comp for 120+ years with a traditional design has to change because a new team wants to join and keep their colours? First in, best dressed. Simple

Isn't it his name on the contract?

@@roontangdavis2694 Because Port broke it anyway, yeah. But also, yes the contract that is literally being waved in his face, so I think it's fair that he comment.

Q: How do you know the toothbrush was invented by a Collingwood supporter? A: If anyone else had invented it, it would be called a teethbrush.

Its super petty, Victorians always want to control everything in AFL. Makes no sense why the grand final is at the MCG every yesr either

The pettiness is with Port Power. They act like they've been in the league for 150 years...no, that is their team in their state league. They have only been a national team for 14 years. Now they are trying to get back as close as they can to their state team colours, even though Collingwood already have a jumper with similar design. Port need to get over it.

It's ambiguous, can a foreign entity not legally owned by Port Adelaide FC sell a commercial line black and white prison bars guernseys, can they use a bird that closely resembles a magpie but it is not actually a magpie, what constitutes a heritage round dose the AFL get to decide what constitutes a heritage round, did Port sign the argument under the assumption the heritage round would continue, the AFL allows Richmond and Essendon to have a similar guernsey design, they allow Carlton and North Melbourne to wear the same colour but in a different shade, is it lawful for them to have a particular rule for one club and not another. Can Port wear black and white prison bars at every other point other than when their playing (warming up, sitting on the bench, training). How enforceable is that agreement.

Considering that he was the only party who knew that the Heritage Round wouldn’t continue it was not negotiated in good faith.

Sheesh! Give a guy an inch and he thinks he's a ruler.

No one owns the colours black or white and that includes the AFL.

@@linkvagar2336 In the context of the AFL, Collingwood does.

Smart business man. Just proves that Eddie has more brains then the entire state of South Australia.

@@jasonfleming3328 Basics of a contract is offer and acceptance. If it is true that Eddie was the only one that knew about Heritage Round going away then there clearly is a case for Port Adelaide to have the contract null and void. Port couldn’t properly negotiate otherwise.

@@cbgg1585 all clubs would of know but actually listen to the start. Port Adelaide were moving away from the magpies same name but different. One is port Adelaide power who port Adelaide signed off to join the AFL. Also signed off that teal will be your color. Got paid to be your color. Eddie was smart enough to make sure heritage was in it. Both clubs and AFL signed off to it. Wasn't Eddie having favors its about the wording. Port Adelaide fell for it. Now it's time for port Adelaide to start adopting the teal. The color they took to wear it. Wanna follow magpies in sa. Go follow them in in sanfl.

It makes for horrible TV watching Kane Cornes talk over everyone

Kane cant shut up .

Crooked, corrupt, bully, fragile ego, has to get last word, likes to project an aura of innocence and good faith, when he is nothing like that. Look at the scandals he’s been involved with, and the people he associates with. Reminds me of a famous crook that I don’t want to mention because I’d rather they’d fade into oblivion.

The other clubs were aware of it as well so take a step down of your pedestal Eddie is spot on they gave port an inch and now they want a mile. All of the clubs would have known about the heritage games coming to an end because the AFL would have informed them. And I'm a staunch Tiger's supporter who is no Eddie fan. In saying that Cane is a flog who loves to give his opinion on everyone but when anyone states fact he repeats a question that has already been answered. A real peanut.

@@markwhelan9887 If they had known why would they have agreed to only wear it for 1 year?

@@cbinsyd So I sign a mortgage contract and decide I don't want to stick to payments. How will that go for me? A contract is a contract. You sign it, you stick to it. You can ask to renegotiate, but PA have not done that.

That contract may as well be toilet paper. It's worthless now if there's no heritage round. If Eddie Maguire co-authored the contract like he said in full knowledge that the heritage round was being scrapped than he created a fraudulent contract. He wrote and signed a contract that he knew would be irrelevant once heritage rounds got scrapped. Make a new contract, obviously this one wasn't made in good faith.

@@rowey1992 the contract definition changed once Eddie mentioned he knew the Heritage round would be scrapped.

The AFL is a continuation of the VFL. It was just a rebrand once the competition included interstate teams. Most Victorians still see it as a Victorian competition with some interstate teams attached on at the end of it. That’s why VFL records count, unlike the SANFL, WAFL etc.

I dont care either way ...but its not A then B ...is A AND B .....

Problem is that Port are claiming the contract stands and that playing against Adelaide is a heritage game....when it's not. The fact that they have made and distributed the jersey is against the contract they are claiming that they have a right to wear it. Pure hypocrisy.

You clearly have no clue how contracts work....both provisions are distinct, and don’t rely on each other. Port confirming they won’t profit from the sale stands on its own, and they clearly have breached this. This is what makes it so ironic that Port are trying to argue the interpretation of the ‘heritage rounds’ part when they are clearly in breach of another contract clause

Both ways pal, Ed interrupted every time Kane tried making his point. The AFL need to make an impartial decision and we can all move on.

They don't they just where the prison bar gurnsey Wich isn't the powers colors and don't support the magpies everyone in Adelaide knows the prison bar gurnsey belongs to one team and that's the Port Magpies not the power

Im an AFL Port Power supporter from when they entered the national competition. I dont want Port to be Magpies or wear the prison bars week in week out .I do want them to play in SA in their heritage guernsay the one the used to wear against my SANFL side back when the SANFL was as strong as the VFL ....bringing some of our rich SANFL history into todays top (unfortunately VFL/mpdified ) competition .

It's called merchandising.

No on Collingwoods website it literally states how the founders of the club were "inspired" to use the colours after visiting SA

@@mistergnat638 below is exactly word for word from Collingwood's website... "Williams Samuel Crawley was a supporter who had returned from a trip to South Australia, where he South Australia’s inter-colonial football team and was impressed with their black-and-white jumpers. As a local, he also knew that magpies were abundant in and around Victoria Park." "The suggestion was readily accepted by the club and right from its very first match, the team has appeared in the black-and-white jumper."

Port should be able to wear the prison bars. However, it should be 2 shades of pink. Which is the real Port heritage. Collingwood was wearing black and white long before Port.

only imo in heritage and showdown and south melb and fitzroy don't look like or have the exact same colors as another team

This is how contracts work. Words are important. If they wanted derby week, thats what it would say. If they wanted to sell magpie themed gear it would say that too. It doesnt. So dont keep banging on.

@K Aussie ok well you do realise that the black and white guernsey is a heritage South Australian representative guernsey from 1881-1906 before Collingwood(1906) were even a club right??

They do, slightly different though you can’t do much with black and white stripes lol

@@blahblahblah8911 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is what Kochie needs to take to the board (or whoever it is that deals with contracts), the fact that the very basis of the contract no longer exists means that the contract is void and is no longer viable. This means the contract is required to be changed and updated, if there is no agreed upon grounds of the contract then the element of the contract that mentions "heritage rounds" is deemed null and void, which means it can no longer be followed by any parties involved, which means that PAFC can wear the Black and White Nylon guernsey within the AFL. It is as simple as that. Kochie may as well copy this comment and present it to the board.

@The Shaniac I'm not giving ya bloody victorian another thing 😂😂😂😂
