Marvel is a pop culture phenomenon, from comics to TV to cinema, it has managed to take the world by storm across decades.

Prior to the MCU, Iron Man wasn't necessarily a name people thought of when thinking of Marvel, with Hulk, Spider-Man and Wolverine, and from there, other X-Men leading the way.
But now when you think Marvel, Iron Man is one of, if not, the first names that comes to mind.
Since joining the league, West Coast have become a household name, but prior to that, the other big clubs were obviously at the forefront.

port – one of the “oldest clubs in the afl”……
No – the filth in the afl (“PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB (A.F.L.) LIMITED”) was formed and incorporated in 1995. There is a club that is now (port adelaide “magpies” of which the ‘wobbles are a poor copy) which is now owned by port (afl) that was formed in the previous century (1870).
