The 5AA morning Port Show?

Re: The 5AA moring Port Show?

Boo ****ing who – by virtue of accepting the second licence awarded to the SANFL (that’s right, not the Port Adelaide football club but the SANFL and that includes all 9 clubs) in 1995; your club agreed to accept the terms and conditions set out by the licence owner. Your club failed to go alone when you tried to screw everyone over in 1990 and that’s why your licence was awarded to the SANFL, not the Port Adelaide Football Club. You’re only a sub licensee. Your club has responsibilities to the other 9 clubs and that’s why you need to strive to become a powerhouse club.

The SANFL set the goal post to maximise both licence earning capacity and in doing so, gives the entire South Australian football community an opportunity to survive. Like it or not, your club has to strive to become a powerhouse club because that’s where the goal post lay and that’s what this state needs. Plus your club needs to stop using that piss weak excuse that “were just a small suburban club” as a copout because you knew the terms and conditions of enter when you applied for the licence.

If you don’t like the deal, give the licence back. I’m sure centrals or South Adelaide would happily accept it.

BTW – you cannot compare yourself to a small Victorian club because you have 9 other club sitting under your position of hierarchy and if that’s your clubs attitude that they done matter and don’t deserve anything, the SANFL should piss both your clubs off for being selfish arses.

The South Australian football league made Port Adelaide who they are; Port Adelaide didn’t make the South Australian Football League.

Glad you got that off your chest Leigh?

Good old hindsight hey wonder what situation they would be in if they did get to control their own licence their debts would be the same but handouts harder to get

Typical response from the club whose problems are everyone elses making but not their own.

Mate our onfield problems are of our own making and in many ways have contributed to our off field problems, no doubt about that. All I am arguing is that put in the same situation, under the same circumstances that we find ourselves in with crap onfield performances we have served up over the past few years, there are about 5 clubs in the league that could actually make a profit.

Totally agree in fact i would say only 3 would survive dishing up the on field stuff you have.

Serious question would Mark be there today if the $$$ situation was in better shape or did he only get the job cause he was prpared to take a healthy cut

You gota think that many of the rookie coaches would have been glad to take $400,000, in fact most of them would be on that kind of money you'd think, so unless we were trying to land Paul Roos or Mick Malthouse, I don't think that was actually the reason he was re signed.

From time to time Independent marketing experts say lots of different things, doesn’t make them right.

When an Independent marketing experts does a focus group study on a particular subject and direct it towards a group of people who want this change made, of course they are going to get the answer they are looking for. As an independent marketing expert, if I went to a ‘everyone loved dirty water’ convention and asked 1000 people what was better, dirty water or Coke – I will get the result I’m looking for.

The Port Adelaide football Club need to implement a paradigm shift away from the word ‘Port’ or ‘Adelaide’ - have it as either Port Power or Western Port of Adelaide or some other connotation but the name ‘Port Adelaide’ isn’t working. Non Port Adelaide people clearly don't care and there are not enough Port Adelaide people to make it economically viable.

This has nothing to do with focus groups...

And Port supporters are quite geographically dispersed, there just aren't enough of them.

Hence why a paradigm shift is needed. If you don’t have enough supporters to meet the demands needed, maybe you need to find a system that will create that needed demand.

So what's the deal with the Saturday sports show now? Is this new format for the rest of the year? So with now have Rucci and Ginever on it? Will not listen if true.

 

[Cap]

I think that is the way its going.

They can't get sponsors but they can get airplay

They get no airplay just ask them

Well once again I only managed to hear the morning show for a small patches on Saturday, but once again those small patches were soley talking about the Power and the Magpies.

Seriously there is a lot more to talk about than them, like how are the other AFL clubs faring during the offseason? How are the SANFL team going in the offseason? What about every other sport in the freaking world.

On a side note, its good to see Rucci keeping a distance from the debate and not writing passionate pro-port articles in the only newspaper we have….

I like how he is trying to paint North Adelaide as the big bad guy picking on the weak magpies, articles like that make me want to see the Magpies fold.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Being a Norwood fan Cap you would have similar feelings to me I would think on this whole give the SANFL club that's got financial problems heaps of coverage. Happened for all except Norwood, we never got any exposure but as a club just sucked it up and got on with getting ourselves out of it, unfortunately it cost us our club rooms but that's the price we had to pay. As my old man says, make the Magpies sell the pub to get themselves out of the troubles they are in.

North got themselves out of trouble
Glenelg got themselves out of trouble
Souths are staying afloat
and after just reading that by PB, Norwood once got themselves out of trouble

Port can do it themselves without the help of the Power

I just dont know why the Magpies would want a merger.

Either a merger does NOTHING, or they cut admin staff and most likely, that would mean a few Magpies employees losing their jobs.

And ill be pissed off if they steal Andrew Moore, Marlon Motlop, Daniel Motlop and Daniel Stewert off of North, (they can have Wade Thompson, he's closer to SAAFL level than SANFL 1sts)

I assume this is a reference to the suggestion in the Crows Reserves thread?

If so, then these players would all remain at North. Under Truck25's proposal, North would be aligned with Port, so only Crows players would need to find new homes. Given that the players you've named all play for Port, there's no need for them to go anywhere.

You do know they can't do this under this proposal? Magpies would still be a SANFL team not an AFL reserves team, only way Magpies could 'steal' these players is if they asked to be transferred there which North would get compensation for.

Actually I didn’t think of that, it was rather quiet when we had all of our difficulties. which to a certain extent still occur but unlike the magpies the Legs haven’t blamed everyone else and got on with it.

But still enough of that, the point is that the SANFL doesn’t need the magpies there has been a drive to get the comp down to eight and now is the perfect chance, so we should take it unless Port can save themselves.
