LOL awesome
He would probably say we still didn't take it seriously, players are proof.
He can't admit he's wrong.

Blackmail.
I read Rucci's Rip last Saturday and he was saying that basically Cornes is against AFLW and that we can all read between the lines and that Cornes should just come out and say it.
And I thought, isn't this exactly the same with Rucci and the AFC?

He didn't watch Port play?
If they were taking it seriously they are in for a bad year if they suffer an injury or two with the lack of skills on show to their depth players.
And to think there was a "Masterclass" on teacbing skills at the Koolaid Convention.

Not Rucci but it's his paper. I have never read a bigger puff piece in all my life.

Do we need a *shakes head* thread, or a Reece Homfray thread?

"Depth" that included 5 EF players and a superstar recruit ......

Made me vomit in my mouth....Jack Watts being paid by the Dees to play for Port...what a gun recruit.

Summary below - the rest of the article is basically Kornes, Tredrea and Wanganeen saying how great Kenny/the Club is
Why the marquee AFL recruits want to come and the blue chip draftees don’t want to leave Port Adelaide
how is it in that time Port Adelaide has gone from on-the-nose and without much hope to becoming a destination club that marquee recruits want to join and blue chip draftees don’t want to leave? Paddy Ryder, Charlie Dixon, Tom Rockliff, Jack Watts, Steven Motlop, Jack Hombsch and Jared Polec have all found their way to the Power from rival clubs. Wines, Chad Wingard and Sam Powell-Pepper have been drafted and re-signed, following in the footsteps of Travis Boak and Robbie Gray who don’t look like leaving any time soon. Notable departures are Jarman Impey, Jackson Trengove and Troy Chaplin, but even in the free agency era you’d still have to go back to Shaun Burgoyne in 2009 to the last time Port Adelaide supporters had their hearts broken.
THE COACH & CAPTAIN
Those who know say Hinkley is not only a very good coach but a brilliant salesman - one of the best they’ve heard in their time in footy - and his belief and care for his players resonates with them. An ‘every man’ people person, he relates to all walks of life having coached everywhere from Camperdown in Victoria to the AFL and has a particularly strong connection with those from the country given his background. Then there’s the skipper in Travis Boak, who got the job the same time Hinkley arrived and his influence has been huge. When a potential recruit comes to town, Boak meets them at the airport and opens the door to his home which now extends to teammates like Powell-Pepper who is his new housemate.
CONTRACTS
Length, timing and value, Port Adelaide is prepared to gamble but mostly gets it right. There is a general consensus the Power moves early on a player, quickly with a contract and is prepared to pay, but the sales pitch is holistic including the wider footy program and lifestyle which is individually tailored. It may concede it got the long-term contracts for Matthew Lobbe - who has since left - and Hamish Hartlett - who the club later suggested he look elsewhere - wrong. But it’s got plenty right too and by letting Trengove and Impey leave last season it was able to sign Motlop and Rockliff to lucrative four-year deals as their replacements.
STABILITY
MOST clubs will view four positions as their key pillars - the chairman, CEO, coach and captain. Port Adelaide enters the 2018 season with the same men in those four jobs for the sixth year in a row. Current national recruiting manager Geoff Parker started at the club in 2010 and current list manager Jason Cripps in 2011. Like any family they’ve had their moments but the foundation has been strong enough to survive the turbulent times. Yet they’ve not only survived but thrived and emerged stronger for it. Blood, as families and Port Adelaide have come to learn, is thicker than water.
INDIGENOUS PROGRAMS
WHEN Paddy Ryder was looking for a new home in 2014 he toured Port Adelaide’s facilities and met all the usual people you’d expect at a potential suitor. But then he met with club greats Byron Pickett and Gavin Wanganeen who played in the Power’s 2004 premiership and remain closely linked to the club through its indigenous programs where they are ambassadors. The Power is seen as the industry leader in its indigenous work and the players are proud of it and want to be part of it.
CULTURE
HARD to describe but easy to feel - but only once you’re part of it. The current culture or closeness of the group could probably be traced back to when Jackson Trengove (2011) and Boak (2012) put a flag in the ground and re-signed at a time when the Power was a shambles on and off the field. Port Adelaide also celebrates its long and rich history, which forms part of the appeal to players who want to be part of it.
FAMILY
HAWTHORN is known as the family club but Port Adelaide has strong claims to that title too. Families like Williams, Cahill, Ebert, Obst and Tredrea have had multiple generations play for the club. Hinkley is one of 10 children in his family and has just become a grandfather.
