Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Offseason

[Tex Danger]

Ok, so supposedly they were once close friends, and yet when Pendlebury gave him $300,000 he decided to charge him interest of 50%. WTF!

Not sure how the player manager never thought he would be caught. What was he spending the $2.6m on? A sporting franchise, one way to lose money.

He gave him 300k that he was told he could repay the next day (weird…maybe he thought he could gamble it, win and pay back a debt plus the borrowed money)

It was after he never paid up and the terms changed they came to that 50% agreement I believe

50% pa is still a ridiculous number between supposedly close mates.

I think they stopped being close mates when Pendles found out he’d used his investment fund for his own purposes. Became a business transaction then and there.

If someone came to me saying they desperately needed to borrow a large amount of money, they couldn’t borrow it from a bank, and would pay it back the next day, that’s a serious red flag.

Seems she's replied to the piece run on Seven news the other night on her Instagram account. I'd be surprised if he bothers responding

I'm really starting to think she's a bit of a campaigner

Reminds me of those folk who look you in the eye and use the expression "my truth" as a preface to their nonsense or just plain blatant lies

She is. I didn't think there was anything that wrong with Kochie's statement.

A few observations:

I don't think Treders is as popular with Port people as he thinks. Sure there are plenty that will back him in not matter what but in these scenarios the club generally wins out.

I don't believe Tredders was such an agitator that he got rid of Hinkley. I think Hinkley was going anyway

This isn't Kochie acting on his own. The AFL are as much behind this as anyone else. The fact Fiveaa are also distancing themselves from him shows this isn't some vendetta.

Anyone that thinks Treders shouldn't be held accountable because it was his guest not him doing the talking is a dead set idiot. Of cause Tredders knew exactly what he was doing, he just didn't have the 'balls' to say it himself.

Regardless of where everyone sits on his views he is clearly lacking the judgement to be apart of the AFL industry. Doesn't mean he can't keep fighting for what he believes in.

 

[Geoffa32]

Rowey and Ginever said 5AA didn't sack Tredders.

But I bet he won't get a contract for 2026.

No doubt the AFL have stripped him of media accreditation as well.

Alexandra Crow, the partner of Damien Hardwick, promoted to Gold Coast’s head of consumer growth​

Rival clubs asked questions about Alexandra Crow’s part-time role at Gold Coast in 2025 before the AFL ticked it off. Now, the partner of coach Damien Hardwick has been promoted.

Gold Coast has promoted the partner of senior coach Damien Hardwick into a full-time role at the club after she worked as a consultant during the 2025 season.
Alexandra Crow began work as the Suns’ head of consumer growth in September after the AFL ticked off on her full-time employment.
Crow previously led Richmond’s consumer and stakeholder engagement departments during an eight-year tenure at Punt Road.
The experienced industry staffer began at Gold Coast in a short-term position which chief executive Mark Evans described as “small” in scope and in line with “market rates” for the role.

Rival clubs had asked the AFL whether Crow’s wage would be included against the Suns’ soft cap, however the league signed off on her initial employment.

“I know the role and the size of the role and I am certain there will be no issues for the AFL or club on any front,” Evans told the AFL website in March.

The AFL was made aware by the Suns of their decision to install Crow in a full-time role.

Crow recently updated her LinkedIn profile to reflect her new position.

He can fight for what he believes in. Im fine with his 'freedom of speech' stance. It doesnt mean he is free of the consequences of that speech. He is clearly cooked, gone down a conspiracy rabbit hole, fed by the algorithm. Thats his choice but to most people he looks like an idiot.

Yeah, won't be sacked, rather just won't be renewed.

Is she the one he was knocking off whilst still married or is she a new one? I suppose following him to work is a decent way to make sure you don't lose him the way you got him.
