Roast Sack Koch - Chairman of The Redeem Team

[sobrave]

Cronyism it is. I'm on board.

So there is no direct possible action of the members to remove Koch, is that correct?

I'm not saying a military junta is the only option..

Unless..

 

[Enviable Tradition]

So members aren't really members then with voting rights at all?

And sorry to ask, who changed this? Was it Koch himself? If so, that makes him even more insidious. He's not that smart but he is smarmy enough.

No they are not.

Officially the "members" who have voting rights are the members of the board, all of whom are ratified by the AFL.

Most of them are AFL appointees (usually put forward by the board and ratified by the AFL). 2 are voted on by the "members" but even those 2 can be vetoed by the AFL.

This has been the case pretty much the whole AFL journey except for the fact that it was originally the SANFL in the AFL role before the license was "bought back" (we essentially paid for it all over again only to move it from SANFL to AFL control).

The Crows have a section in their constitution that allows for their club to become properly member controlled in 2028 when their license is paid off (again). Port do not. This is probably the biggest failing of the Koch regime so far.

How do we change the Port Adelaide constitution?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Koch becomes President of the Port Adelaide Football Club in October 2012 so basically in the off season with his first game as president in 2013 when Ken arrives.

I've got Koch on 259 consecutive games without a Grand Final appearance.

Ken must have missed two games with personal and health issues.

Edit - 259 games!!!

Hinkley has only missed 1 game as coach due to personal reasons. Crook back in 2013 we were 5-0 and then had to play North in Hobart and Alan Richardson coachwd and we lost to Morth.

Think that was the 13 v 35 free kick game.

Bassett took charge of a game in the Alice during covid.

Forgot about that. We lost that one too.

How do we change the Port Adelaide constitution?

Id have to double check when I'm back at my laptop but usually it is a high percentage vote of the "members" (say 75%).

So basically the AFL would have to agree and direct our board "members" accordingly.

How do we change the Port Adelaide constitution?

We have to convince a majority of the directors to go to the AFL and ask for their approval to change the constitution.

Is it just a majority? Or more?

Board discusses an issue, board votes, majority rules, then they go off to the AFL. But if you have a chairman who voted against it, he might take his time talking to the AFL unless the majority presses him hard.

It could be done via a member-led campaign, with a high level coterie behind it, and approaching the board to formally request them to put it in motion.

At the very least, it would force them to show their hand.

I seriously thought that was Colonel Klink.

It occurs to me that this would be a good thing for Tredders to lead. He is a member-elected board member, i.e. he represents them. If WT started receiving a lot of correspondence he could advocate for that stance at board level, as a member of parliament would be expected to do for its constituents.

It would need to be more organised than just bombing him with random emails.
There's a few here who have a tap into Tredrea, if this was to work, they would be the ones who lead it.

It's probably something that would pull together a whole lot of supporter groups/factions if it was framed well.

It has been raised with him numerous times. He is aware.

The point is probably WT being 'aware' isn't the same as him overtly inviting member input (which he could quite reasonably do), or a supporter movement seeking to give board input with him as a conduit.

Given the relative disempowerment of the members, the best we can hope for is a kind of Supporter Advocacy Group (see: https://www.imust.org.uk/) which can publicly petition and lobby the club, the AFL, the SANFL, media etc. To bomber's point, it needs to be organised.

The biggest problem with such a group is that the majority of our supporters now are the theatre crowd who have less of an idea what Port is about than Ken.

So what you are saying is since 2013 - a Port Adelaide team coached by Ken Hinkley is 143-93 (60.6%) and a Port Adelaide team not coached by Hinkley is 0-2 (0%)... thats Norf like stats there!
