Port Adelaide joined the AFL in 1997 and missed making the finals in its first year on percentage only. It played in its first finals series in 1999. In 2001, it became the first non-Victorian team to win the Ansett Cup beating Brisbane at Football Park and finished in the top four at the end of the home and away season. Despite being the latest addition to the competition, Port Adelaide boasts a long and proud tradition as the Port Adelaide Magpies in the South Australian competition, the SANFL. The Port Magpies have won 34 premierships as the dominant force in the SANFL. They are yet to win an AFL premiership.
