So full of hate, aren't ya? They don't deserve the bs that you constantly come out with.
I can understand that folks are unhappy with certain things, but the hate, it's bs. Ken wants nothing more than success for OUR club.

Fair question, I think the same could be asked of all of our remaining board members as well.
Not hate but when you have failed over and over again and given a 7 year honeymoon you deserve to be drilled everyday. Are we a club with high standards or being medicore ?

Can you please share the whole page? I can guess a few of these but not all of them.
Hinkley looks like Damien Lovelock (RIP) in that pic.

This is where we're at... Just put s**t on every campaigner.
What do you do for the club 66?
Right untill this year it's been about as big of a money pit as my former lemon of a car..
To answer your question quite a lot. But using your logic maybe I should kick the goals for this club is that what you're trying to say? These people are employed and voted in by us, I haven't heard anything from them.

A head coach that on multiple occasions sees humour immediately following team losses in critical games is NOT a senior coach that wants nothing more than success for OUR club.
A head coach who never acknowledges personal responsibility for not succeeding or achieving outcomes is NOT a senior coach that wants nothing more than success for OUR club.
A head coach who sits in the coaches box week after week, totally brain dead while chugging another coke zero, surrounded by Oak sponsorship signage, is NOT a senior coach that wants nothing more than success for OUR club.
A head coach that insults Chinese customs, in China, on TV, is NOT a senior coach that wants nothing more than success for OUR club.
Ken Hinkley stated the following in a media interview in 2017.
"I used to think the worst thing that could happen to me was losing my job as a football coach and not working in footy. Its a goddamn game...........there is more to life than football."
Great words for someone who accepts mega bucks to coach a professional football team !!
But I suppose it does explain the above four points to a degree but I don't believe it has got that much to do with success for OUR club. I think it has got more to do with him achieving HIS salary.
Just my opinion. It's not hate. It's ..... an observational study !!

Koch stated that Hinkley needed to rush home for Donna's birthday, thus Hinkley did not remain behind for questions after his speech (which I think is disrespectful to the members). There is nothing to report about Hinkley's speech anyway because although he squeezed in a lot of words at warp speed he said nothing of value. Nothing.
KT didn't talk again for the second year in a row and sat in the front row where the few board of directors sat as well. Cardone was present.
From Koch's speech and Q&A all I got from it was that Vanstone is out and Day is in. Haslam is out but a nameless new member is in. Ransom is possibly away for two years studying at Harvard and will communicate via video conference. We have a 2 million dollar debt left with the AFL. The club decided to embark on a new football direction (rebuild) at the end of 2018. Thus Hinkley was given credit three times for accepting the new direction of going with youth (what a guy).
Lokan was MIA. I didn’t see Wanganeen. I don't know which other board members were present. It appeared that most were not present.
There wasn't a lot of BS but there wasn't hardly any deep information shared.
Not a lot of questions were fired at Koch and mostly the questions were petty. Mostly the sheep were in attendance.
No pre-questions from members were addressed.
It was a pointless AGM. Says a lot about how much the custodians of the club value their members.
It reconfirms that we need change at the top but this club could possibly be like this forever.

David Koch.
Amanda Vanstone has stood down. Andrew Day is coming on board as an AFL appointee. Also Ross Haslam has advised he won't be seeking reappointment.
Incredibly disappointed with 2019 but believe we are better placed for a tilt.
I almost choked when he praised Ken for his selflessness.
Paid down 1m of debt to afl. 2m remaining.
2 global brands coming on board, one being jms.
Lots of 150th celebrations. Gala ball almost sold out.
Questions from floor,
how much debt
Where are we placed debt-wise in the afl. Koch said we're about middle of the road. Still investing whilst paying off debt.
China game is going ahead at this stage.
Membership, down about 800 from this time last year.
Brand recognition, where do we fit in the afl? Stephen Shirley responded. We are being creative and trying new things. Mid-table.
China is under control. AFLW is now a priority. We'd like a womens team in sanfl.
What are we doing about the declining crowds?
Koch - we want to win and we are listening. Enormous credit to Ken.
Suggestion from floor, once a month a member of the board should pour beers.
Club has picked up on supporters sentiments. What is changing? Koch handballed that to Hinkley mainly. Said the club listened to supporters re leadership change.
Time slot for Good Friday game. Won't be a day game.
Are we putting pressure on for federal funding? Discussions started re redevelopment of Alberton. Further at next Board meeting.
Another female Director to go on Board.
Membership gender split 60.40
That was it from Koch.
I won't bother with Ken's rubbish.
One little pearler though. He did say he's so Port Adelaide, his horse is called Power Boom and wears Port's colours.
Give me strength.
Not surprised. Limp d### performance we come to expect. A CEO not talking at an AGM? WTF! Should at least respond to questions. Ken dashing away to not miss race 7 at dogs. What a circus...

Oh this claim by Koch and the club about how they listened to us about co-captains is just BS. They had their moment of truth more than 12 months ago to act on the members' cries and ignored it. Now they seek praise for listening to us now? Makes me fume.

I have got the distinct impression from the above posts that silly campaigner Koch may be looking for any excuse to give kern another contract extension! 
Y'know the CFS/SES etc services were up to callout 400+ yesterday, out in all sorts of crap weather trying to solve problems.
But Ken and KT lacked the stuff to get up and face the members.
Gormless.
Sack Hinkley.

It was all over in 54 minutes. Very subdued crowd. Was expecting fireworks but none. People have given up. Sad.

Surprised the new jms wasn't announced already as it's been secured for a while even before oak left. They and the new partner must want the timing to be specific not sure why. But it is coming. Not sure on the lower scale corporate
