Autopsy David Koch and the Vanillarization of Port Adelaide (by tribey)

I want to care, but it's hard. This feels like the "One Club Initiative" all over again. The PAFC is not the Port Adelaide you all taught me to love.

It is like OneClub but bigger.

This fight is the fight for the club ownership.

The current incumbents have lost their way but the heartbeat of the club is still alive (the members who remember, and the members who have been taught, the true Port Adelaide traditions).

So long as these members keep the flame alive and keep fighting we will win eventually, even though the path to that victory is not clear yet.

if anyone thinks getting rid of tredrea has anything to do this the guy he interviewed then they really are stupid, it has everything to do with Koch getting rid of anyone with an individual thought on the board and that could challenge him into the future. Since when does a footy club go to a Jewish organisation and ask them to point out if he was being antisemetic or not, its like asking the catholics if the pope is better than muhammad, what do you think the answer is going to be. Its a typical corporate stich up job orchestrated by Koch and using the Jewish organisation as a fall guy for a decision he's been champing at the bit to do but was too scared to make himself because he knows that everyone will see it as him stabbing tredrea in the back, instead now he says well it was independant and the only right thing to do. Koch thinks he killed 2 birds with one stone, hes got Tredrea of the board and then tarnished his named enough to stop any further push by tredrea to replace him as president. The guy is an absolute cancer and is pushing his agenda the same way he pushed Ken Hinkley for 10 years and he acts like that never happened and there is a massive amount of the supporter base who are to stupid to see it nor do they care. I'd like to say [PLAYERCARD]Josh Carr[/PLAYERCARD] will do ok but i doubt it, they say the fish rots from the head and we still have a club rotting from the top. For some reason the club and supporters thinks its ok to be ran by a TV fan boy who has no idea what a premiership team or organisation looks like.

Thanks Tredders.

Also, paragraphs are your friend :thumbsu:

Have you ever thought of doing a podcast?
 
Hey if Kockie can chair us from Sydney, surely it's not much more of a stretch for Jay to do it from London, between cutting a few ribbons and flogging our wines and Tim Tams..?

Unfortunately Darren C has committed to continuing with Sinner, so won't have the time.

Mike Rann is back in SA. He'd probably love to kick Olsen's arse again.
 
Olsen is a smarmy, oily snake.

Yes, but so is Rann.

But he's our smarmy oily snake. Savviest politician of his time, how he pulled a government together after the debacle of the State Bank election was a thing of wonder.

While that would be funny, he's a South Adelaide Supporter. That's not really moving away from the acceptance of mediocrity.

Port man in the AFL though, his whole Cabinet were Port people (maybe there was one abstainer). Ten years as Premier after pulling together a minority government in 2002 with some pretty nifty political moves after taking over a 10 seat party in 1994 that was all but obliterated in the 1993 election. He's continued to be extremely active following leaving politics. Putting party politics to one side, he is light years away from accepting mediocrity.

Anyway a moot point, it would be very unlikely that he would be interested in being on a footy club board. But fun to speculate.
 
Congrats to Dallas Mavericks for not just rolling over like the majority of Port fans did for 8 years.
And they aren't done with their anger at management. Imagine if they didn't get a sacking and had to endure "Nico has decided to call time on his successful tenure as GM".

My wife's aunt is Annette Hurley (https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/n...n-membership-a-once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity), Rann's deputy before Foley. Giving him shit about South Adelaide is a bit of a family tradition after this
