That was a you can't get anywhere in the AFL unless you leave Adelaide type comment to cover her arse if one day he takes an AFL on non AFL job outside Adelaide.
10 years as Footy Ops Manager then 10 years as CEO would say that's different, but she wont be around reporting if that eventuates.
The way she has consistently got stuck into Goyder for not being in Melbourne has bordered on hysterical. She is as much an AFL stooge/Victoria First as any of them.

Power footy manager lashes ‘abysmal’ midfield
Port Adelaide football manager Chris Davies has described the club’s 71-point preliminary final loss as “an abomination” and its work around the ball against the Western Bulldogs as “abysmal”, as the fallout continues from Saturday night.
Davies said the club would review all aspects of the match, including on-field, the team’s preparation, structure, how it coached on the night and players’ mindset.
“Saturday night was an abomination,” Davies said.
“Our work around the ball was abysmal and our contest work around the ground wasn’t at the level it needs to be.
“We were beaten by a really good Western Bulldogs team but we didn’t give an account of ourselves we’re overly proud of.
“It would be wrong to suggest one part over another (in the review) was more important.
“It’s a group review that is going to require everyone to take their own portion of responsibility for it, including myself.
“We’re in a position right now where no one will believe that until we get to another preliminary final and get the job done,” he said.

I won’t believe until we’re holding that premiership cup! Even then I still might not believe what I’m seeing

Have we ever heard this sort of honesty from the guy who sits in the coaches box ?

He did well in his press conference despite the journos being piss ants.
I was feeling better listening to him tbh

Trouble is, if we do ever win a Prelim, what sort of mental demons are going show themselves in the GF? Fair chance it could be 2007 all over again unless smart changes are made
I don’t mind him but don’t believe he has the power or ruthlessness to move on Ken.
Chris has now been at the Club for nearly 7 years. Ken’s performances he would have seen first hand how poor Ken is at this level but would know if Ken went and we failed again that he’d be next in the gun.
Can’t really blame him when Kochie undermines everyone at the Club and stability is what makes us exist.
Ultimately, no one person in our Club can come out and take responsibility for the PF as no one has responsibility or authority over Ken.
Ken can’t handle criticism, he picked up his bat and ball when Koch questioned his selection of Impey to the members in 2017 EF.
CD, KT and the brass band all jumped in for an emergency meeting and offered him the world.
Kochie since then has been his bitch and is relentless on making him a 10 year coach with no one getting in his way.
Heaven help us.
Who do you think Ken even answers too besides Donna?
There is no cure and even the slight chance the deed was done by the CEO who is well across potential membership decline has the short straw on the this one.

Does Chris have the power to sack Ken?
I think he manages them and report on them, not sure he has the power to fire any of the coaches?

well we can’t, but we can look for the future. Gav is up this year but I’m sure they’ll have another Shiney toy to distract.

I reckon there was a string of a few words from CD in his recent presser that suggested he is prepared to coerce a player into accepting a trade.
Chris Davies is one person who wants ken to stay on because if ken employed so is Davies. Both are joke! 9 Years with Ken and we heard every year we will be doing an internal review what review its basically blame players and ken gets away with a new pending slogan for the 2021 season.

It's not up to Chris Davies as to whether Ken remains employed at the Club. Can say with a great amount of certainty that Ken's contract status would be looking a lot different if it were.

This makes me like CD even more.
What's the next rung on the ladder for him? Hopefully something that keeps him at Port.

When Hinkley lost our home Prelim by 12 goals and say he would not change anything about the preparation, starting midfield or tactics. And Davies and Kochie sit back and tell us we in a good space going forward under ken we have some real problems. One thing Kochie at the helm is brings zero accountability

Ken saying he wouldn't have changed the starting midfield set up, even retrospectively, is a huge red flag.

Chairman?
Ken not starting a different midfield that night is a p*** poor reason for what happened for the whole game. I get that he didn't want to go negative like he's been accused of in the past and wanted to get on the front foot. From what I understand, Drew came on after they only had two goals on the board.
What happened for the rest of the match is what really needs to be scrutinised.
