Autopsy David Koch and the Vanillarization of Port Adelaide (by tribey)

[Grave Danger]

I'm sure Mr. Koch will see to it that the PAFC allocation from the AFL's competitive balance fund will be increased by $20,000 this year, in light of their ruling on McRae.

**** off with the monarchist propaganda.

Lol what

Im about the furthest thing from a monarchist as is humanly possible.

The main monarchist here is probably me, but: (a) I live in a Republic with 130+ years of failed experience on that; and (b) my country has an actual national royal family. So, it’s a totally different case than Australia.

 

[strand_victor]

Assume this is true. This is even more reason to be proactive and aggressive, not content and sedate.

Koch has failed.

The Club have moved every Chess Piece available to them while Koch has been President apart from the Coach and the Coach is set to Depart at the End of the Season. I want our Supporters to get behind the Boys and Support the Team instead of hating on the President. See you at the Footy.

I suspect GP that the vast majority of Canucks ( even the French speakers ) prefer their Westminster parliamentary democracy/constitutional monarchy system to that of their southern neighbour, which has a convicted felon as `president' who appears to have lost the plot completely ( and it has to be highly debatable he ever knew it anyway ) and who is now hellbent on destroying their economy regardless of the cost to his own country in what will be an unsuccessful attempt to make Canada the 51st state!

A milquetoast tv buffoon turns a once proud football club into a mirror image of himself, what a surprise!

 

[MrMeaner]

He is the primary infection in the club. Needs to be removed.

 

[chachi11]

He has destroyed a once proud footy club. The club is rotten..

 

[MrMeaner]

You can chart the fall of hope in the club to the day he camped himself in the goal square with the less talented part of INXS

I think tribey has the other milestones listed somewhere. The arm around the Crows pres is on there.

Yep, remember at the time saying to a mate that he looks like he's doing the Vince McMahon strut

Aren't we still in huge debt?

No.

I think we counted GFG sponsorship dollars in our profits last financial statement but we haven't been paid. So don't expect a profit at the next AGM to pay our debt off.

 

[GremioPower]

Direct quote from the CEO at the AGM - “the players can’t be told they’ve failed, because it would be too mentally demoralising for them”.

This really deserves to be here.

 

[ibd77]

Get ya marshmallows.

It’s probably pre-scheduled, but the club’s non-reaction is as sad as expected.

It's definitely scheduled, but that's not the point. It's the flagrant disregard for us, the supporters/members. It feels like the club constantly has a hand down our pocket for our hard earn. As you've stated, Gremio, the club's non-reaction to can the post or do the wise thing and allow people 24 to 48 hours to get over the loss before promoting the first home game of the year is telling. But, as always, this is Kochie's Port Adelaide—a bland, soulless boys club that doesn't care about the creed, the supporters, or premierships.

To be fair that's a sponsored ad, and it's been floating around for a long time now.

David might have balanced the books, but he did it at the expense of our entire past culture & identity. Everyone hated us, because they wanted to be us, but since the self professed BS artist took over, he’s gone on a relentless, vomit inducing, campaign of appeasement.

This ego driven, narcissistic, sack of shit has single handedly ripped apart the very foundations of what our club once stood for. As for Ken, he’s just a selfish, manipulative, self centred c*** whose managed to enrich himself on the back of our Boards continued systemic failings & ineptitude.

It really doesn’t help that our social media staff behave like 12 yo fan girls.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Have we moved from vanillarization to degradation? Annihilation?

His legacy is like that little fist pump Irene from H&R Block did when she found her client a $50 tax deduction.

 

[Rageaholic]

David, you're not even good enough to be vanilla. You are nothing but a pubic hair on a public toilet seat - I can't wait for you to be pissed off into the bowl.

I am ashamed of myself for ever buying a membership under this regime.

Plot twist: we would've balanced the books anyway

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Sack Koch.

Stop buying memberships, boycott the resigme until those in charge leave. They hate our club, and use it as an instrument to further their own interests and public profile. The players aren't to blame, they haven't been taught the right way and the club legends have been kept at arms length, characterised as mere bogeymen.

There is a wonderful book called Dynasty outlining the dynasty of our club and the sacrifices and toil it took to achieve its success.

There are some wonderful memories of our club I hold dear and will continue to enjoy privately and in retrospect. Until then I wait.
