David Koch - good for Port?

[Gavin Excell]

Unhappy after Ports failed season

All players tradeable. Demanding a more ruthless culture.

This followed a similar outburst last year after Ports last gasp loss to the Eagles that saw them bundled out of the finals.

Wears his heart on his sleeve but wonder if this sort of talk is whats needed from the Club President

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Long may he reign.

Cocky mouthy campaigner =mcguire. Carry on kocchie.

Should a president be coming out and saying everybody is on the trade table?

There'd be 7 other coaches in that same position

What is a president's role in the AFL? Genuine question

Its a good one.

Figurehead?

We need a change in leadership

 

[La Dispute]

Seems like a bit of a cheerleader tbh.

Good idea bringing him in when they did, as he’s certainly helped to restore some pride in the club, but they’re due for a change.

these discussions are valid but only behind closed doors

 

[Frank Gallagher]

He's just telling the fans what they want to hear, he'd have no say in any list management decisions, he isn't Eddie FFS.

Ruthless? China game? On ya bike Koch

Yes true. I guess in defence of Koch you could say he is responding to the supporter base and giving them reason to believe action will be taken.

I wonder if the Board knew and endorsed his comments

I think Koch is a great chairman - you only have to compare Port the year before he took over to now as a club to show the massive improvememt under his watch.

Sometimes he may say the wrong thing in the media being too strong re: football department but its not the end of the world.

If he said nothing people would be critical of that.

100%

further I don't think anything will change next year. We have a coach without a game plan, a captain and captain in waiting that could hit a barn door from 25ms and then add watts and motlop who don't make every contest a contest.

if we were serious, we'd start a 3 year rebuild with a major cull

Kennet would be unhappy with your view of the club president role being equivalent to that of the head of state in a constitutional monarchy. He would prefer the unchecked absolute executive power model I imagine. And no separation between church and state too

A curse put upon you I say

Is he a populist in the Trump style?

No not really Trump.

Perhaps more a lame Rudd

Ideally where he crowns himself

He has the “nerd trying to be tough” appeal but weirdly enough Australians eat that shit up.

Is Clarko Oliver Cromwell?

Brad Scott is like a whingy French monarch. Maybe Louis 16th.....

Macbeth

Can we make crazy Vossy, Caligula?

Is a bankers puppet running a working man's club.

Always ends well
