Yes, Port Adelaide Football Club, from which the Port Power team emerged, has indeed finished bottom in a competition.
Port Adelaide's Bottom Finishes
The Port Adelaide Football Club has a long and storied history, which includes one instance of finishing at the bottom of a competition.
In 1900, Port finished last in a six-team competition. This particular occurrence marks the only time the club has finished bottom in any league until 2024, specifically noting that it has not done so in a senior league within that timeframe.
The table below summarizes this historical record:
| Year | Competition Type | Position |
|---|---|---|
| 1900 | Six-team competition | Bottom |
This specific bottom finish occurred early in the club's history, predating its entry into the Australian Football League (AFL) as "Port Power." The distinction highlights that while the club (Port Adelaide) did experience a bottom finish, it has maintained a stronger record in its later "senior league" participations, including its time as Port Power in the AFL.
