I hope we don't lose any of our good players from the fallout of the clubs BS.I don't think we're too far away from people inside the club turning on each other to save their own arses. It's going to be pretty spectacular when it all plays out.

I just sent a fairly long email to Matthew Richardson outlining my concerns.
I predict it'll be a huge waste of my time, but I have heaps to get off my chest if they're specifically asking.
To recap:
• “Little club from Alberton” [Koch]
• “All of them significantly bigger than us” [Thomas]
• “Port Adelaide has always punched above its weight” [Thomas]
• “No-one was complaining when we won five in a row” [Lade]
• “At 11-4 Ken was a superhero” [Koch]
• “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind. This is the best win I’ve been involved with at Port Adelaide, including finals.” [Hinkley]
• “We’ve got a long way to go to become anything like the Richmond Football Club.” [Hinkley]
There are no doubt more putrid soundbytes I’ve forgotten in the wake of unconvincing wins and dreadful losses.
Just what the hell are they playing at down there?
It’s like a race to the bottom in terms of lowering expectations and overinflating what should be pretty standard scenarios for a club which should be in the upper echelon of the league talentwise.
And they seem surprised that the natives are restless.
Can someone who is on the Twitter tweet a link to the HumongousSherrin Ports board to Matthew Richardson.I just sent a fairly long email to Matthew Richardson outlining my concerns.

They all read this forum. Probably half the reason they're going out on twitter. Though it's a bit rich to feign interest in fan opinion on social media when you're simply going to rebuff what fans say anywayCan someone who is on the Twitter tweet a link to the HumongousSherrin Ports board to Matthew Richardson.
If they read this forum then they should not need to ask the questions they are asking on Twitter unless they have every one except DonnaHinkleyUBewdy and Thunderpants on ignore.They all read this forum.

I just assumed some of the 'new and interesting defenders' on here were PAFC employees.Can someone who is on the Twitter tweet a link to the HumongousSherrin Ports board to Matthew Richardson.

The defending of Ken & his mates on here at times has been breathtaking.
I say that, given the commentary on here that club officials read the forum over the years. As far as I can tell from the material the club has put out recently and in the media, Richardson is clearly pretty senior, if not the senior after thomas. If he doesnt have an idea or have staff giving him feedback I'd be very surprised. Asking on twitter is just weird.If they read this forum then they should not need to ask the questions they are asking on Twitter unless they have every one except DonnaHinkleyUBewdy and Thunderpants on ignore.
It is hypocritical for Matthew Richardson to say that the club takes no notice of member and supporter opinions expressed in online polls when making decisions but is then on Twitter asking ex-members their opinions.

I dont know what richo was expecting lol. He's making it a fair bit worse.
Koch has been nothing if not consistent at insulting the members. His speech at the Insider day was no different.

This is pretty much it.As MrMeaner said all the responses are just defensive rather than understanding the supporters point of view which is meant to be the point of the exercise.
It's just another case of the club telling us we are wrong and they'll continue to do what they think is right rather than what the members believe is right.
They are fighting a battle they will not win.
Everyone needs to reply with that quote from the Creed.He brought up 3-captains with that s**t-eating grin of his just to piss off supporters. In my time supporting Port, I don't think the relationship between the senior coach and the supporters has ever been this toxic. Ken needs to GTFO.
"You've got to weed out people who breed an atmosphere of non-professionalism.
They're there for the bloody joke, for the social life, for the prestige. They're not there to win!!"
If you ask me the club have stepped away from what made us successful for whatever reason, it's to much weight of pressure on this board or whatever the case may be.This is pretty much it.
I'm sick of the club telling us we are wrong when we have lived and breathed what a successful PAFC looks like and they are failing dismally to replicate it.
