Erin will captain our women's team! Oh no wait, China instead.
Lotta thanos work going on down at alberton right now.
Yes, ‘we exist to win premierships’ has melted away, just leaving ‘make our community proud’.
This is the reason why I'll take a s**t GC and propped up GWS over two less teams outside Victoria. Until there are more teams outside Victoria then in it there'll always be a disproportionate number of players wanting to go there and clubs from there getting there way more then 1/18th of the time.
I usually don’t mind Kochie but that interview made we want to vomit.Kochie interviewed yesterday and said our list is better than last year!
Hmmmmm.....
I know the head honcho has to spruik the positives and spin doctor things to keep membership up and sponsors engaged, but seriously........ we have all had a gutful of the past few seasons of underachievement, failing to get over a pretty low bar at times too.
Surely some honesty would not go astray at times like this for the fan base. Admit we had an epic fail, and that everyone from DK to the boot studder's 2IC need to improve if the Club is to move forwards.
Just because we moved a couple of (and the jury is still out here, but...) "bad eggs" with regards to team culture - does that mean we are better off when those guys are in the age demographic that we are currently deficient in anyway, and who are one of only a handful of blokes with X-factor, leg speed and the ability to turn a game in an instant of brilliance?
It will not just happen by magic. The collective people of the Port Adelaide club have to work together, and not be as fractured as previously - players, board members, admin staff, coaches, etc. EVERYONE has to be on the same page, or we go nowhere!
We all like to think shifting the magnets on a white board will lead to miraculously better outcomes. But you still need to work hard, work smart, pull together, and have a fair bit of luck too.
And sometimes, things just do not turn out better, despite all of that happening. There are so many things that can impact on results. I mean (just as an example) - I often daydream about the Trivago girl sitting on my face all night, but the reality is ..........
.......somewhat different!
So Kochie - just be honest to your supporters Mate, and show us that everyone at the Club is on the same page at least, that we are not blinded by false hope and expect things to just magically occur without doing the right things and the smart things more often, and that there is a resolve to work together as a team in better ways - to MAKE better outcomes.

They'll be there until the last pair is sold (for 50c in 10 years time if that's what it takes)
With my luck, this is exactly the type of thing I will find under the Christmas tree
