PORT ADELAIDE’s Hall of Fame and Season Launch gala event is just three weeks away and that means it is just 36 days until the club officially marks the start of its 2019 premiership assault. 

In 2018, the club held the dual-purpose function to kick off the year and induct the latest Port Adelaide greats into the club’s Hall of Fame. 

Last year’s inductees included legendary player, administrator and life member Bob Clayton, AFL premiership coach and four-time premiership player Mark Williams, eight-time premiership player Paul Northeast and AFL premiership captain Warren Tredrea. 

But here are five reasons to get excited for the 2019 event: 

  1. Preview the 2019 season 

There is a lot to be excited about this year with a host of new faces in the football department, not least new captains for both the AFL and SANFL sides. You’ll have the chance to hear their thoughts heading into the 2019 season, as well as hearing Ken Hinkley and Matthew Lokan previewing the AFL and SANFL seasons respectively. 

  1. Guernsey presentations 

With eleven new faces on the playing list, the event will provide them a unique chance to mingle with past greats of the club and gain an insight into just what has driven the club to greatness over the years. With the event celebrating the past, present and future of Port Adelaide, you’ll see the new players presented with their guernseys by club greats who are members of the Port Adelaide Football Club Hall of Fame. 

  1. Hall of Fame inductions 

Celebrate the induction of three new members of the Port Adelaide Football Club Hall of Fame. There is already a long list of greats in the Hall of Fame so you’ll get to find out who will join champions like Fos Williams, John Cahill, Russell Ebert and Gavin Wanganeen and you’ll get to hear from each of the new inductees. 2018 was the first time a Premiership team was inducted into the Hall of Fame with the record-breaking six-in-a-row 1954 to 1959 sides inducted. It will now be an annual tradition, so another group will be elevated on the night. 

  1. Premium food and beverage selection and live entertainment 

Held at the magnificent new auditorium at the Adelaide Convention Centre with tickets at $210 per person, you’ll get a three-course meal, premium beverage package and entertainment including live music and other special performances. Plus, Power players will be seated on each table so you’ll have a chance to meet, chat with and take selfies with them! 

  1. Live Auction on the night 

If all of that isn’t enough, there’ll also be a live auction and raffle on the night with some incredible prizes up for grabs. Among the items to be auctioned off are an Adelaide Oval corporate package, and AFL Grand Final package for four people, and a framed 2019 Port Adelaide Football Club guernsey. But if those things don’t interest you, how about a Brownlow Medal Finner experience for two people or a personal pre-game briefing in the changerooms for you and three friends?
