What a dumb headlne
The issue with this is that so many people have been speculating that we would make this exact decision for months. It unfortunately makes it look as though it’s always been the decision we would make.It wasn't made a long time ago
Several other club presidents have come out yesterday saying the same thing about illicit drugs, Kennett, MacGuire. Yet when Koch says it he is weak?Sure but a simple we are disappointed but it has been dealt with internally rather than I'd love to throw the book at him would have put the issue to bed
We can't seem to get on the front foot with anything

I will just add that I’m fine with co-captains, and think it could work well. I just hate the cycle of the media saying we will do something for 4 months before we do it, and this isn’t the first time.It wasn't made a long time ago
This sentence absolutely nails it.I honestly couldn’t really care less about co-captains, but understand there are those who do.
What irks me most is the way this sort of info is leaked to the media, leaving the club unable to control the narrative on so many issues.
These leaks were blocked up between 2012 and 2015, coincidently the years Chad Cornes was away from the club. Since 2016 the place leaks like a sieve, as it did prior to his departure as a player.
He had his critics but i think we started going down hill in the footy dept and became less tightnit since Peter Rhode left. I think he had better control and was a better media perfomer than davies and i think he had influence on the board and coaches which i think davies does notI honestly couldn’t really care less about co-captains, but understand there are those who do.

Hi, you could just go and read the past 40 odd pages here...Hey lads, I come in peace, please don't shoot me down. I'd heard through the grapevine that Port supporters weren't happy about the whole co-captain thing. I'm curious as to why it's such a big issue?
Couldn’t both wear the #1 on their back? I mean is there a rule players can’t wear the same number. If both are port Adelaide captains than both should wear the number 1
It's the total lack of respect by this club towards the fans this offseason that is the worst of all of this.
Starts out with the most boring game plan ever and complete capitulation in the back half of last year and Ken's answer for this is the rambling what, where, why press conference
Move on to the pissing match with Wingard on Instagram and using Cornes and Tredders to peddle the message to try and justify the decision at a distance.
Then Wines and the whole, ah well footballs not that important of your not having fun on your weekend. And every player from the club seems to want to come out and tell us how our now half Captain on $800K should be able to do as he like on the weekend, even if it does impact his ability to do his job. Try that on at your own workplaces tomorrow and see how it goes.
Watts video comes out, meh, and that blows over only to be brought up again by our chairman just to give himself another news bite
Now the co-captains, which everyone in the club knows it's going to piss off the fans, is announced by the advertiser and AFL.com without even so much as a pre prepared statement ready to come out from the club when it leaks. All happening literally 3 days following an "all access insight" into the behind the scenes running of the club that they've put their hand out asking members to pay an additional $99 above their memberships.
Please feel free to add anything I may have forgotten in this turd sandwich of an off season.
Port used to be a club with engaged fans who where part of the makeup of what made it great. Now we are just another bunch of franchise customer mushrooms ready to have more s**t shoveled on by the club we are trying to support.

I'm at work so was after a quick summary. Maybe I'll do that on my lunch break then.Hi, you could just go and read the past 40 odd pages here...
Co-captain announcement bingo.
Two outstanding candidates
Best chance of success
Tradition shouldn’t stand in the way of progress
Something something modern game
We respect our members
Complementary strengths
Strong decision
Unanimously backed by the playing group
Process

Yeh I know but it doesnt change the fact that he was captain that day and wore 16.
Or jonas is the step dad in the shadows after doing everything for the stepkids then real dad walks in and takes all the ******* creditI posted this in the wrong thread earlier.
Jonas looks like he’s the VC in this co-captain relationship.
After sleeping on it, I still feel the same way. Absolutely gutted that the people who run our club have no understanding of what makes our club special.
It's insane that they would do this... I'm just so upset...
David Koch, Keith Thomas and Ken Hinkley have to go. I don't want any of them near the 150th celebrations. They don't give a s**t about my football club.

I will fund a manrue drop at the club!Wait for them to announce the "The fan is our true #1" as our marketing campaign going into the season proper.
