Leppitsch got left with the mess Voss created - it was never going to be quickly fixed; and putting in a first time coach to try, was insane.
Leppa has no defensive structures in place. Thats what has hurt him. Brisbane need to move away from the heroes of the past being the right choice.

I thought Hamish Heartless has something to do with it, or was it Heartless's girlfriend whoes car broke down outside Travis Boak house, she slipped in some much and needed to take her clothes off. Travis was cold and they shared his blanket?
I heard that, but I just assumed it was bullshit.

Not sure of the specifics but it had something to do with Ryder and Gus, a trip to Colombia and threats from Sth American drug cartels.
It worries me that I don't know if you're serious or not.

That was all to do with offering Bradshaw up as trade bait - without telling him. The Fev thing was a disaster in terms of losing player loyalty. Not sure if Voss drove that recruiting side of things though? I know he had very little to do with the kids (ie. Some of them had never spoken to him since they'd been there). But they were performing much better on field than they are now, so he had some things right (or at least better than Leppa).
Crazy Vossy - its accepted that he was the one demanding those trades.

They were performing better on the field because the mass exodus drove his sacking - if he was still there, they'd probably be worse.

And he's apparently not that well liked by quite a few Port players.

He's right.

How any of the players could think that was acceptable; and how it was allowed to occur to the point it needed to be addressed, is unbelievable.

He should make Bassett his senior assistant, immediately - he wouldn't tolerate that kind of shit.
They should make Bassett the senior coach and have a semi rebuild of their list. I expect them to fall further next year if there isn't a significant change in these areas.

This will be my worst nightmare. Bassett is likely to bring that mob into a gf in 3 years. Please don't let it happen. :(:straining:

Someone's uploaded part of it


Just remember - this is BEFORE the game. If they were so tense and worked up beforehand, they were destined to lose.

Ken's lost it.

Hilarious.

One again ladies and gents - I present to you From the port board - Enjoy :$:drunk:

****************************************

"The fish rots from the head. Overrated list, over paid players, and signed them for long term.......we need hungry athletic kids."

"First time in 45 years embarrassed to be a port Adelaide supporter"

"I've now lost total faith in this coaching panel as a whole. The problem is, is it the head or the support that has destroyed this team. I'm leaning towards out support staff as the head of an organisation is only as good as those below."

"The fish rots from the head. Overrated list, over paid players, and signed them for long term.......we need hungry athletic kids.
Casual needs to be the first one analysed"

" too much faith in Ken and Burgess. Awarded them long term contracts for achieving nothing."

"I've been silently supporting Hinkley all year, now I've seen enough. This playing group and the coaching staff in charge of it need a serious reshuffle. Sack Hinkley, sack voss, make hard trades. Do what needs to be done to make port Adelaide an enjoyable team to watch. This is a disgrace, and literally everyone involved at the senior level should be ashamed of themselves'

"And how all of you trolled and abused me when I said we should be asked at the start of the year.
Seriously Hinkley is a disgrace and if he isn't saked the KT/Koch and the board are all spineless."

"What may I ask is Port Adelaide football anyway?
Hard at the ball with fierce contests?
We don't have that type of footballer to carry out the tasks.
Fos Williams would piss them off if they wouldn't run through a brick wall.
These over paid cream puffs don't want to break a fingernail and we are stuck with them through contracts and bad drafting."

"Got some news from someone who is closely related to a former senior player at the club.
Pretty much what we see is correct and that Kenny can be quite abusive and looks to have lost some of the players, particularly the younger ones.
This person is, however, confident that the club will make changes and Kenny will have a lot less control as after 2013-2014, he started to have a big say in the overall structure and personnel at the club.
I'm not sure that noodering Ken will fix the problem completely though.
We all know what needs to be done.
Take out of this post whatever you guys want, just putting it out there."

"Sack him now. He has no idea. He's killing the club like Choco did."
Heh "noodering"

From the Port board - "Travis van Berloak is currently the worst captain we've had in the AFL".

and this "

"the most depressing thing is just the way we play.
Remember when we use to be down by 8 goals and we thought "pfft 48 points, no drama, roll the sleeves up and get dirty!" - you mean like the 2007 GF?
That's really not fair.

What about Primus and Cassisi?

Don't really care if Geelong win today, just hope Floggerfield and Dusty run head first into each other and KO themselves. Been hearing all day on 3AW this is the Battle for the Brownlow :rolleyes:
