Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 16

[OneGreatClub]

As much as we bag Olsen, he's a slimy prick and will do something to help them financially, you can bet on it.

Watch him enter in into the prison bars argument.

This is old Adelaide, old SANFL, he's been appointed for a reason no doubt.

Yes..talk about taking a backwards step

 

[LFC2010]

Serious question, from someone who hasn't lived in SA for 25 years.

Why isn't John Olsen in prison?

Same reasons why Andy Demetriou isn't.

I think today marks the official moment the SANFL shrinks to being smaller and less important than Adelaide Football Club.

For the ex chairman of the SANFL/SAFC to become chairman of an AFL Club, says it all.

Once Adelaide Oval was redeveloped, the 2 AFL clubs were freed of SANFL control with their licences, the 2 AFL clubs got full control of their players via their own teams in the SANFL, Whicker retired, the SAFC started appointing independent commissioners with no league club preferences, the writing has been on the wall for this day to happen.

In WA things go the other way.

In WA, WAFC chairman became chairman of the WCE the first 3 or 4 years when public company Indian Pacific Ltd held the licence, then WAFC Chairman's were independent of the WCE and commissioners usually had no club allegiances to WAFL clubs.

In mid 2010 Frank Cooper who was on the Freo board became chairman of WAFC after long serving chair Dr Neale Fong stepped down. Fong was chairman for 8 or 9 years and was seen as a WA Labor government appointee as he was head of the Health Department. In 2015 Murray McHenry who was WCE chair in 1997-98, became WAFC chair. In 2020 ex Chief Justice and current Lieutenant Governor, Wayne Martin, was made chairman of the WAFC.

The question has to be possed, does Olsen have to resign from the SMA board to be replaced by SANFL/SAFC chair Rob Kerin or someone else?? Current SMA board is

If Olsen stays on as an SMA member then Port have to push for a Port representative on the SMA. Maybe this is where KT can continue to help assist the club.

Yeah right so he is currently still on the SMA board?

Well that changes things doesn't it, that is basically having an AFL club representative on the SMA board then? isn't it?

Somehow this will benefit the Crows and not Port. You can bookmark it.

 

[Portmagpies36]

If it's one thing the Crows are good at, it's knowing their audience.

You mean their customers

 

[Portmagpies36]

Olson SANFL to Cows
Chandler SMA to SANFL
Football in this state is pathetic, surprised they haven't headhunted Basheer and Whicker.

Peter Hurley a Camry Crows' board member for 14 years and Deputy Chairman for some of that time is already the Camry Crows' representative on the SMA board.

That's the image you get when you Google the words, corrupt scum.

Are you sure it's just business partner?

Trusting him be like letting Colonel Sanders babysit your chickens.

corruption is rife in the SMA, worst part is the AFL will keep turning a blind eye to it all while dip shit Gillon is charge.

Those ****in ties man.

 

[JimmyBC]

Those fu**in ties man.

I can't believe they keep rolling with em.

 

[shewho]

Olsson can talk the talk but is basically incompetent. As far as "walk the walk" goes, he will stumble around like Brad Crouch and Tyson Stengle getting out of a cab at 4 am.

 

[edgie]

Just a nod to the Western Bulldogs keep pumping the tunes til all hours lads.

Probably shit tunes

That Olsen is still kicking around quasi-public Quangos tells you all you need to know about the Adelaide establishment.

Send them Brad Crouch, Tyson Stengle and Tyson Goldsack's drums- have a big few nights Bullies, you deserve a break.

Seriously, if we can find where Richmond are staying and get a band together for a benefit concert, we could have a big show- like Uraguay did to the Socceroos in 1999.

 

[El_Scorcho]

John f***ing Olsen lmao. He's the Adelaide Establishment cartoon villain. He oozes evil and corruption.

Imagine how many establishment pockets are gonna get lined when they build this CBD base. Imagine paying a membership to a club knowing your figurehead has this guy's grubby history.
