Gav was interviewed on 6PR this evening. When they put him on the spot about the possibility of dual captains at Port Adelaide he was non-committal, but Karl Langdon said "You're the member elected board member, you should stand up for what the members want!" and Gav said "Hearing you loud and clear, Karl!"

I thought his interview on SEN this morning was meh!
He wouldn’t be on the board if he wasn’t our greatest player (arguably)

I think you have to expect vanilla from any board members' public statements.

PORT ADELAIDE great Gavin Wanganeen has outlined his vision for his stint in the boardroom after his appointment to the club’s board of directors.

Wanganeen was announced as a member-elected director on Friday after an independently run vote.

He becomes the first Indigenous past player to be on the board of any AFL club, and the first Aboriginal person to join the Port Adelaide board.

Wanganeen says he is aiming for a two-pronged approach to his time on the board, focussing firstly on football.

“The first (prong) will be the understanding of our brand of football and the way we play our football – what we stand for,” he said during an interview on Adelaide radio station SEN SA on Monday afternoon.

“I love the attacking, the creative, aggressive brand of football and playing through the corridor.

“That’s something that has always been a Port Adelaide style of play and if you look at it, it’s been a style of play that wins premierships.

“So that style of football we play will be something I’ll be working closely with the football committee on.”

If he gets his way we might actually mean real Port Adelaide football when we say we are going to try and play Port Adelaide football.

That would be something!

I voted for George and judging by Gav's actions and George's comments on the Co Captain decision I firmly believe I was right.

Early days I know but thus far Gav gives every indication of being yet another yes man. I am disappointed.

One of South Australia’s favourite sons, Gavin Wanganeen, is relocating to Melbourne with his family.
The Port Adelaide legend has revealed he and wife Pippa, along with their four young daughters, are planning to move to the “big smoke” before Christmas.

They will reunite with Wanganeen’s older children from a previous relationship, Tex, 22, and Mia, 25, who have been based in Melbourne for four years. “We’ve often pondered what it would be like to go over there and for the girls to see more of their older brother and sister,” he told The Advertiser. “If we don’t do it now, we might not ever get the chance to do it.”
“So we’re daring to go over to the big smoke and leave our home here, which is sad but exciting at the same time.”

Yeah not sure why anybody would want to move there voluntarily.

Wanganeen comes off as a bit of a Grifter. Great player, but just bubbles from one thing to the next. Essendon must have offered him some sort of obscene money to be a "Cultural Ambassador" or something just as pointless.

Hopefully avoiding the machetes

Melbourne is absolutely AWFUL.

 

[JimmyBC]

That's it the entire family will live in the big smog forever now.

 

[Steve Dore]

I don't mind visiting Malbun but no way I'd want to live there.

At least Gavin will be closer to his beloved Essendon.
