Roast Gerard Whateley’s Rant on AFL360 (22/08/19)

[tribey]

“I think, the people around Port Adelaide, and I’ll separate them from the club themselves, the people around Port Adelaide need to calm the farm a bit.

You can wish and hope and think and pray that you should be making finals, and then you can coldly assess what’s happened against what the planning was and you can go, ‘this is exactly where we should be. we are on a path, we are a fair way down the path’.

You want to see where the path leads? Sit tight. Stop the agitation. Stop the unrest. Stop this ridiculous idea that you’re this old SANFL club that should rule the world. That’s not you. That’s not you in the AFL. You scratch and you claw for everything that you’re worth. And you put a plan in place and you follow that plan through.

The plan is, go to the draft, get a critical mass of young players, integrate them, have a good season — this is a good season, this is a clear pass, a clear pass what they have done — it improves next year on a natural trajectory.

And then you make your judgements. You’ve got a coach who’s got a trigger in his contract next year, so if they don’t make the finals and you think they should, then we say ‘thanks, I don’t think that path is going to lead us to where we’re going’.

There are clubs who have walked this path, they’ve got to the crossroads, and they’ve gone ‘do you know what? we actually believe in what we’re doing here. on we go’. And those clubs have profited enormously from it.”

 

[Eddie Dingle]

F*CK ME

 

[LP7_]

I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t mind Gerard until now, what a germ.

 

[chachi11]

Kens Manager knows s**t is brewing and has asked the media muppets to put pressure on the club to try and save his clients ass..

And Gerards a piece of s**t.

 

[dirty2]

Suppose we should be happy burning away careers and existing to be st kilda...

 

[StuMan]

Throw away your integrity to stick up for your no-hoper mate.

Nice one, dweeb. * Whateley.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrd.

In other words ‘shut up and eat this s**t sandwich and be thankful.’ Yeah, * that.

 

[Black 18]

Wow

Dreadful

 

[Chewy316]

Those comments were out of line. He spoke as if he knew his mate was getting the sack and just decided to tee off on the club. I usually enjoy gerard's commentary but that was just disgusting.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I loved that he stressed "this season"...

 

[Black 18]

You would think we are playing 15 first year players and this is Hinkley's first or second year coaching.

The complete lack of research, knowledge and reasoning is frightening.

 

[ozph1870]

Have a labotomy... It's bliss...

 

[GremioPower]

What is his opinion on Freo again?

 

[PortWTF]

What about the 4 years prior to this one you utensil biscuit?

 

[tangolikelama]

Flog360

 

[BornPort]

The longer we keep this fraud the longer his mates in the media will drag our name through the mud trying to protect him. Just get rid of him already.

 

[Powerade 08]

Looks like the PAFC is heading into 100% absolute ratbag organisation territory once again. What a disgraceful club

 

[agmsy]

There's an artfulness to out-campaignering Dwayne Russell and Damien Barrett so comprehensively and so succinctly.

Vale Gerard Whateley.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Also Whateley’s a Geelong fan.

Weird how that club keeps coming up.

 

[Power Raid]

we have cemented our spot as the true ninth mond of the AFL.

accepting mediocrity is not our creed

 

[Waspy79]

And Gerards a piece of s**t.

I tend to believe this angle too. The conditioning from all corners of this filthy boys club league is blatant. The AFL propaganda machine more likely to blame than a manager who has already cashed in.

 

[FutureShock]

Arrogant prick. Would love clowns like him to go head to head with someone who really understands the situation at Port...his assertions would be so easy to dismantle.

 

[FallingLiefs]

if you rated every coach on their current season you would have the same coach for 20 years.

at what point do you stop ignoring the full body of work.
