- "If I could create an image with words of a red guernsey hell-bent on getting the front position, disregarding personal safety, attacking the ball, swooping up opponents with speed and determination so that nothing was left undone which could have been done, then you would have the picture of the crusade which has earned this state and SA football prestige which I doubt has existed for a long time – if ever before." (en)
- "We, the Players and Management of the Port Adelaide Football Club, accept the heritage which players and administrators have passed down to us; in doing so we do not intend to rest in idleness but shall strive with all our power to further this Club's unexcelled achievements. To do this we believe there is a great merit and noble achievements in winning a premiership.
To be successful, each of us must be active, aggressive and devoted to this cause. We agree that success is well within our reach and have confidence that each member of both the team and management will suffer personal sacrifices for the common end.
Also we know that, should we after striving to our utmost and giving our everything, still not be successful, our efforts will become a further part of this Club's enviable tradition.
Finally, we concede that there can be honour in defeat, but to each of us, honourable defeat of our Club and guernsey can only come after human endeavour on the playing field is completely exhausted." (en)
