News Tom Jonas sole captain for 2020

[manureid]

Makes me laugh that basically, we listen to our member when it suits us. Not when they first tell us this is a terrible decision, but when we realise it is going to hurt the bottom line. This is what happens when morons appoint a moron. Moronic decisions.

Tom Jonas to lead Port Adelaide as captain in 2020

Port Adelaide has appointed Tom Jonas as the club’s captain in 2020.

“The fact is, the people that are most important to us – all the key stakeholders connected to the club – have spoken, and good clubs listen to their people,” Mr Koch said.
“Our people have reminded us that some icons cannot be compromised and we understand that.
“It is clear that a one captain leadership model is best for our club and what’s best for our club is ultimately what’s best for the team.”

What a Kochhead if they listened they wouldnt have done it in the first place...absolute bellend

*bangs head against wall*

ffs why are wines and hartlett still in the leadership group instead of getting the young guys in

I have to admit, I lol'd at this comment from Koch "The fact is, the people that are most important to us - all the key stakeholders connected to the club - have spoken, and good clubs listen to their people".

Good clubs listen to their people. Then why the * did Port Adelaide ignore all advice and run with a deeply unpopular co-captaincy model for 12 months? Also, why the * is Hinkley still employed?

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

by keeping wines and hartlett as vc, it is signalled 100% that this is not real change

what a ******* shock

If the membership numbers were not looking so bad, we would have co-captains still. They care zero about what members think until it costs them money.

I'm happy with the decision and I rate Jonas as a captain.
However, I think people have a right to be extremely ****ed off currently and there's plenty of valid reasons to be annoyed. Can't believe some people think the ones who are critical of this are 'whingers'.

You gotta relax - they are just titles, true leadership is done by actions which the young guys will have plenty of chance to show their true mettle.

Ollie answered why he's VC not C

"Tom's most capable at this stage.." bla bla

Ollie still has ambitions to be C

“good clubs listen to their people”

Going ahead after they’ve made it clear its not wanted, watching it fail, watching one captain apparently try to walk out, then naming one captain the following year isn’t “listening”.

its quite literally the opposite.

** 'I won't be here next year'.

 

[Interstater]

Relieved that co-captains is a thing of the past.

Hope Jonas steps up and has genuinely learnt from his mistakes last year.

Drawing a line and moving on.

How embarrassing

 

[Schulzenfest]

“It is clear that a one captain leadership model is best for our club and what’s best for our club is ultimately what’s best for the team.”

Hmm. This David Koch fellow is right. It is clear that a one captain leadership model is what's best for our club, isn't it?

Here's the thing though. That was clear 10 months ago too.

Where's Hamish? Or is this the "psst your still co-captain but we'll give Jonas the #1 and pretend he is the sole captain just to shut down the white noise"

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

This press conference is a car wreck.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Where's Hamish? Or is this the "psst your still co-captain but we'll give Jonas the #1 and pretend he is the sole captain"

Looks like exactly that

 

[MrMeaner]

there it is

See you at the footy!

 

[Rigs]

Ollie looking uncomfortable when asked if he's 100% committed to the club

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Glad to be back to one captain

But seriously Ken?

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley says Jonas is ready to lead the club.

“It is clear that Tom has developed significantly across the last season and has emerged as the standout leader of our group,” Hinkley said.

 

[Macca19]

What it should be is:

C: Jonas
VC: Lycett, Houston

Which leads into Houston being captain next year.

 

[manureid]

This club has absolute see-through bullshit. The totally transparent kind.

Yeah but don’t be silly, that would mean actual change, and this admin only deals in superficiality
