Good, now we should sack everyone involved in the football department.

[Ian Jackson]

Advertiser saying we have co captains Ollie and TJ!??

 

[OneGreatClub]

UH-OH

 

[Doctor Feel]

Not only has it been broken by the media before the club announcement, it's the ****ing shit decision we all hate.

What the **** can I even do about it. Man, **** this club.

 

[Jakksynn]

I’ve been trying to prepare myself for this but it still angers me beyond belief. Weak decision

 

[MitchIn3D]

Until an official statement I can happily live in my own reality where the football club Makes a tough decision.

 

[JUSTWORK]

****ing pathetic, let’s just get rid of every one of the magpies traditions.

Captains in the modern era just seems like a tokenist gesture anyways so who cares, name the whole team it doesn't really matter.

What a load of bollox Ports!

Captains in the modern era just seems like a tokenist gesture anyways so who cares, name the whole team it doesn't really matter.

Then the ‘keep a tradition’ argument becomes valid.
My argument is that it’s pathetic not to pick a leader.

Shambles. Only word to describe it. Especially how it has been leaked before a presser

 

[Doctor Feel]

Est. 1996. **** it.

 

[PowerBaz]

Pack your bags KT

 

[Ian Jackson]

What we are going to lose all our games because we have co captains!

 

[Willsy10]

So how do you actually read an article from the advertiser without paying for that shite?

 

[Northalives]

The dismantling of the Port Adelaide Football Club is now complete.

We are nothing like the club that entered the AFL. We have regressed to being everything that we wanted to get away from and we have dishonoured our Club's great tradition and the vision of those who wanted us to be the best in the best competition.

If we are real Port Adelaide people and feel passionate about OUR club, then we must not lay back and just accept this most disgraceful act: DO NOT ATTEND OUR GAME ON THE 30TH OF MARCH - STAY RIGHT AWAY. If an empty stadium does not get the message through to the pretentious morons running our club, then DO NOT ATTEND OUR HOME GAME ON THE 13TH OF APRIL and continue boycotting our home games until these idiots correct this shameful act or resign.

 

[MitchIn3D]

This is bad

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

When Schofield or Monty become head coach things will return to one captain. Oh & KT & Koch can go suck a fat one when it does happen cause they won’t be anywhere near our club !!

I can't believe they brazenly ignored the will of the members. They can suck my dick.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

One day in a few years time when things are hopefully better, we’re gonna be looking back and thinking to ourselves “Remember the days when we had co-captains?”

Would be great if we didn't have to do that. Captaincy means all that much less at PAFC now.

 

[chiwigi]

The members had a resounding no to this.

It’s is not their club to ignore the members on issues of heritage you ****ers!

Look i'd prefer to stick with the traditional model but it's not the end of the world. The season hasn't even started yet but I feel cooked from all the negativity.
