<P> On the field in the SANFL , Port Adelaide struggled to replicate their historic dominance of the competition . The club won back - to - back premierships in 1998 and 1999 but have failed to win a premiership since then . The Magpies went through a barren spell through most of the 2000s , often missing out on finals and struggling for success . In 2014 , in the first season of being permitted to select AFL - listed players , Port Adelaide won the minor premiership but lost to arch - rivals Norwood in the Grand Final . The club next returned to the SANFL Grand Final in 2017 , though once more fell at the final hurdle , being defeated by Sturt by just one point . The current captain of Port Adelaide 's SANFL team is Steven Summerton and the coach is Chad Cornes . </P>
