Why the marquee AFL recruits want to come and the blue chip draftees don’t want to leave Port Adelaide
how is it in that time Port Adelaide has gone from on-the-nose and without much hope to becoming a destination club that marquee recruits want to join and blue chip draftees don’t want to leave? Paddy Ryder, Charlie Dixon, Tom Rockliff, Jack Watts, Steven Motlop, Jack Hombsch and Jared Polec have all found their way to the Power from rival clubs. Wines, Chad Wingard and Sam Powell-Pepper have been drafted and re-signed, following in the footsteps of Travis Boak and Robbie Gray who don’t look like leaving any time soon. Notable departures are Jarman Impey, Jackson Trengove and Troy Chaplin, but even in the free agency era you’d still have to go back to Shaun Burgoyne in 2009 to the last time Port Adelaide supporters had their hearts broken.
THE COACH & CAPTAIN
Those who know say Hinkley is not only a very good coach but a brilliant salesman - one of the best they’ve heard in their time in footy - and his belief and care for his players resonates with them. An ‘every man’ people person, he relates to all walks of life having coached everywhere from Camperdown in Victoria to the AFL and has a particularly strong connection with those from the country given his background. Then there’s the skipper in Travis Boak, who got the job the same time Hinkley arrived and his influence has been huge. When a potential recruit comes to town, Boak meets them at the airport and opens the door to his home which now extends to teammates like Powell-Pepper who is his new housemate.
CONTRACTS
Length, timing and value, Port Adelaide is prepared to gamble but mostly gets it right. There is a general consensus the Power moves early on a player, quickly with a contract and is prepared to pay, but the sales pitch is holistic including the wider footy program and lifestyle which is individually tailored. It may concede it got the long-term contracts for Matthew Lobbe - who has since left - and Hamish Hartlett - who the club later suggested he look elsewhere - wrong. But it’s got plenty right too and by letting Trengove and Impey leave last season it was able to sign Motlop and Rockliff to lucrative four-year deals as their replacements.
STABILITY
MOST clubs will view four positions as their key pillars - the chairman, CEO, coach and captain. Port Adelaide enters the 2018 season with the same men in those four jobs for the sixth year in a row. Current national recruiting manager Geoff Parker started at the club in 2010 and current list manager Jason Cripps in 2011. Like any family they’ve had their moments but the foundation has been strong enough to survive the turbulent times. Yet they’ve not only survived but thrived and emerged stronger for it. Blood, as families and Port Adelaide have come to learn, is thicker than water.
INDIGENOUS PROGRAMS
WHEN Paddy Ryder was looking for a new home in 2014 he toured Port Adelaide’s facilities and met all the usual people you’d expect at a potential suitor. But then he met with club greats Byron Pickett and Gavin Wanganeen who played in the Power’s 2004 premiership and remain closely linked to the club through its indigenous programs where they are ambassadors. The Power is seen as the industry leader in its indigenous work and the players are proud of it and want to be part of it.
CULTURE
HARD to describe but easy to feel - but only once you’re part of it. The current culture or closeness of the group could probably be traced back to when Jackson Trengove (2011) and Boak (2012) put a flag in the ground and re-signed at a time when the Power was a shambles on and off the field. Port Adelaide also celebrates its long and rich history, which forms part of the appeal to players who want to be part of it.
FAMILY
HAWTHORN is known as the family club but Port Adelaide has strong claims to that title too. Families like Williams, Cahill, Ebert, Obst and Tredrea have had multiple generations play for the club. Hinkley is one of 10 children in his family and has just become a grandfather.

They've dun nuthin since 2004
It's about time someone called that prick out on the double standards.
He's either a part of the unbiased footy coverage at 5AA (which the Smears constantly bleat they want) and not doing the right thing by his other employer, or he works for Port and the coverage is Port-friendly.
Yet another piece of #portlogic.

I posted similar in the non-crows discussion thread
Except I loved it. Norton was lost for words.
It all started when Dom made a comment about the AFLX crowds being bigger than Adelaide United. He said “you could have rabbit races and put them in Crows guernseys and it would sell out”
Then Norton went “and Port Adelaide”
Then Dom started “cha-Ching”
It was great.

And for the 3rd year in a row out of 5, either missed finals or shown to be complete pretenders making up the numbers. Most clubs would have moved Hinkley on, and Boak is a terrible captain and the fact Cankles is the only alternative speaks volumes.

I liked the part talkin up Hinkley as a super salesman.. That's the whole reason they still have him as s**t coach, as the board buys all of his puff. If his leadership and father figure persona is as good as they say it is, he should be in footy ops, not the box.

Talk about adding some Mayo
Any Port nuffies call up in the middle of all of that to complain that they don't get enough coverage on 5DoubleCrow?
So the whole "We Exist to Win Premierships" has been replaced by "We exist to be a stable family" has it?

My goal for this season, so help me god, is to bump into Rowie or Bicks at a game when I (and hopefully they) have had a skinfull and flat out ask them how much they make personally from this scam.

Imagine the outrage from our neighbors if a Crows employee was working as a producer on radio & continually plugging their club & cutting off anyone who criticises too much.

Seriously, who penned this? It’s a paid advert surely. This is propaganda to dwarf the third Reich’s little efforts.
Someone’s gone through a truckload of brasso polishing that turd. I don’t know whether to laugh my guts out, or cry because of how sad and desperate it is.
I choose laughter. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What a sh*tstain if a ‘club’!
