FOR Member Recognition Round we are celebrating a member of the club each night in the lead-up to Saturday's clash with West Coast.

Meet Samantha Ioannidis.

“I remember being five years old and we would come to Alberton Oval - my love of footy started then. Footy at Port Adelaide for me, allows me to be me. Everyone embraces each other and that’s what I love about it. I base my morals on the same ones as the Port Adelaide Football Club. You are surrounded by this massive army who are a family. This year I was given the opportunity to be on the cheer squad committee and that has been the best decision I have ever made. Being part of this club is being part of a special, special club. When things aren’t going all that well, you know that the football club is always there - it’s your safe haven. I’m very fortunate.”
