Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but the club has moved the AGM back to February. Typical ****ing Koch & Co.

Over the last 5 years (including this year) the AGMs have been held in February the following year in 4 of them. Last year was the anomaly.

Bitcho showing up only when the mood is better. Utterly silent when it has mattered.

Classic Bitcho.

Koch changed them after at least 30 years that I'm aware of being held in December.

The last consecutive one was December 2012, his first as chairman, and then he moved them to February, so that we didn't spend too much time looking back. If its in December members want to talk about the season just gone as the AGM is about reviewing the season just gone, as much as it is about the future.

We have also lost our August members info night that Boulton and Duncanson always attended and the various CEO's also attended.

Tredders asked why can't we have it in December, there was no good reason why not, and we had 2 last year, February 2024 and December 2024. They announce the financial result in the first week of December so that's when the AGM should be close to like the majority of other AFL clubs. Report financial result in late November or early December and have the AGM before Christmas.

Richo and Koch are as bad as each other. Thieves in suits and ties.

This exact paragraph is why I hate that the AGM has been moved to February, because it is Koch and the board trying to avoid accountability as best they can instead of facing up to and doing the right thing for the club, i.e sack Hinkley. Especially during periods like at the end of 2017 and 2023, particularly in 2023, where fate had all his ducks lined up after losing to the Giants in the SF, one of many great times to sack Ken due to the fact he was out of contract. Apart from the 400k owed, we could move on to Josh or another coach back two years ago for the 2024 season instead of allowing a year like this to happen.

Idk I agree with a lot of his criticisms but maybe he gets a pat for getting Dougie over the line

Lol. As if Bitcho made this happen.

The initial work was done by CD and Shane Grim but Richo was responsible for the final submissions to the AFL. In fact he probably had his hands all over this from the start.

He sent the email. Brilliant work.

His PA likely had more input than Bitcho.

I’ll give him a pass because he has hair. Still has the essence of a bald person most of the time.

My feelings are really being hurt by all these bald comments.........

If the email he sent the AFL complaining about the proposed bidding changes for 2026 actually works, and there's no change to get Cochrane, he can rightly have some credit.

Too early yet.

[Shaucob_Burjan]

lol Richo really does only do press conferences after positive/good/easy news

 

[Janey]

That’s probably the first time I’ve listened to him in a press conference by himself and I thought he spoke well, much better than usual. Maybe it was because it was good news

 

[Jojay]

Interesting that he's wearing a clean polo. Could a design refresh be on the way?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It's a bit ordinary that he couldn't answer the question on Dougie's availability for the Magpies next year.

He did duck and weave a bit on our interest in Ah Chee, but I would be surprised to see us make a move there. He probably just doesn't know what we've done there.

The more likely question is does he actually know anything at all ?

[Doctor Feel]

Less disappointing than Bitcho somehow.

Bring back Haysman and myATM. A mate of mine said Hays is selling carpet these days. He was serious.

He's the CEO of a global rug company.

He's the CEO of a global rug company.

So he could have assisted in the Port bald epidemic but chose not to?
