What hard work? The pinched talent from the NT. And have benefited from some nice sponsorship and promotion in stealing Erin from right under our noses.

why do you hate women so much?

I sent this link to KT after one of his radio segments on 5AA. Think it was after the tough draft for 2015 was announced in late 2014. Just accentuated positive. Refused to look at negatives.
It was the right attitude in the early years, but ignoring the negatives has caught with him in the long run. He was repeating Johnny Mercer too often.

The work to actually get the team approved. It wasn't just a case of putting up your hand and saying, yeah we'll have a women's team thanks.

They didn't steal her. She wanted to play football and we didn't have a team. If she waited around for us she'd be too old.

Interesting option for CEO but I think his cards are marked with this current board.
Have you heard this from George or elsewhere?
No way Fiacchi gets teh CEO job.

I know. That's what I meant by him having his cards marked.
Back a year or 2, I wasn't too phased that Fiacchi was getting the arse from the board, because I was struggling to assess just what his skill set actually was. I have since come around to the thinking he gives the board something that it is sadly lacking, passion.

He's passionate and he's an agitator. This 'stability' board would not want him anywhere near the club while they're in charge but the time is coming that the club will need to move into agitation mode to take the next step.
My thinking is that we are on a 10 year plan that was presented to the AFL back in 2011/2012, which was based on ensuring our survival.
Anyone or anything that rocks the boat is ousted, those who follow the line are retained.

That would be quite understandable, even of it annoys us supporters. I've said several times that the Board and Management are probably performing really well in line with the AFL's plans/strategy. It just doesn't work for the supporters. Time to take the next step.
Randomly put on the 125 year anniversary VHS this afternoon, how far this club has fallen.
The language of yesteryears legends and administration could not be any further than that coming out of the club/supporters these days. I'm even more depressed after watching that.

If he seriously indicates he's going to run again they'll pick another compliant more recent player to run against him. Those who became Port supporters in the AFL era are going to vote for said player over George.
Where's our second major Keef ?

Are you saying he could be...a disruptor?

An agitator relentlessly lobbies, pushes, argues, and prods the status quo until the desired change is achieved.
A disruptor proposes to change what is currently being done to align with on-trend tech in the hope that it becomes the new norm.
We need the former, not the latter.

Cricket, tennis, TDU grabbing the headlines. There won't be an announcement until next month at the earliest, if there is to be one.
