David Koch - The Chairman of the Board

[Powerade 08]

Too busy telling climate protesters to 'pay their memberships and voice their concerns at the AGM'.

Kochie slams young Sydney climate change protester: ‘What gives you the right?’​

David Koch furiously hit out at a young climate change protester who has caused rail chaos in Sydney four mornings in a row.

The Sunrise co-host interviewed 25-year-old Emma Dorge on live TV Friday morning, with the young woman conducting the chat while suspended over the freight rail line at Port Botany.

While the 66-year-old veteran journalist conceded “everyone agrees” with the threat of climate change, he took Emma to task over her “disruptive” protesting method.

For anybody that remembers the club's box office hit film, Koch ain't ever sitting in McLean's chair (although he probably sneaked in it when nobody was watching).

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

We’ve returned to a weak shadow of a club.

We all know our onfield performances and coaching issues is an absolute mess.

But it’s the off field decisions which have really irked me the past couple years. As a whole, the club is unable to make decisions which is purely in the best interest of the club.

This decisions and actions simply do not get made from a team demanding success;

Trading a second round pick for a clearly broken Fantasia - pathetic decision and we fell apart as Essendon held strong as we should have.

Effectively trading Ladhams, a First round pick and a future second round for Sinn. I’m sorry and nothing against Sinn but that’s a ridiculous price to pay when other options were still on the board.

Keeping Jonas as captain.

Our complete silence following the prelim farce.

Loosing two coaches and effectively not replacing them.

Trading fridge/depth players for useless 4/5th round picks when they would have been better to just remain on the list.

Simply, the club no longer strives for success. We are happy being a mediocre side that simply cannot make the hard decisions.

Being the Chair, CEO and Coach of Port Adelaide is easy "we exist to win premierships"

Sure we won't be in contention to win most years but that isn't what it is about. It's about trading week in week out for the greater chance of building the right squad to win a flag.



We don't have this mentality but rather we seek to win each week to support a business model and meet fans expectations of winning. This is the mentality of a franchise.............not Port Adelaide.

Fk 4 points guys, fk coming 7th over 10th. I want to see the club build for a flag and this is impossible with our current mentality.

We're not going anywhere, even if Ken goes, with Koch (and possibly Richardson) still at the helm. We need hard decision makers that are of the ilk of some of the past that removed club legends Fos, Russell and Jack from the coaching positions because it was in our best interest going forward.
Hinkley isn't in the same breath yet is kept on for 'stability'. Who decided to evolve this club into mediocrity?

Feels like 64 chickens finally came home to roost last night, after years of people — including Koch, the club and possibly even Ken himself — genuinely believing old mate was some special coaching mastermind with an inevitable blueprint for glory, and any wider dissent was just the usual great unwashed rabble-rousing types who ‘are never happy’ and couldn’t hope to understand the intricacies of running a modern-day football club.

David Koch did. With his wonderful quotes like the little club from Alberton, we need stability, good clubs don't sack coaches mid season and so on and so forth.

He's a used car salesman. Problem for him now is everyone sees him for it, so he hides.

95% of what he says now is bullshit, he needs to go when Ken does for us to have a chance to reset our club properly.

Hopefully the scomo/ken **** sucker leaves asap

July 20. 2015.

That's when this thread was started.

This club is so ****ed that it's now verging on April 2022 and literally no change for the good of the club has occurred

 

[Us against the rest]

It's always the players and never Hinkley, when we play well it's all Ken when we play crap it's all on the players.

Wingard, Howard, Ryder, Ladhams, Polec, it's all your fault.

He somehow had a smile on his face about 30 secs before this was taken.

I'm also done with that shit.

 

[edgie]

The best thing Koch ever did was the time he criticized the players & Boak 'n Co got the sooks, the mistake was apologizing and the extra layer of vanilla ever since.

Yep.

People forget Koch used to have a little bit of backbone.

He's not the root of our softness.

It's comes from post 2014 Ken, KT, and the players, before it came from Koch.

Chris Davies should be copping serious heat as he has been complicit in all decisions relating to coaching. Talks tough in pressers but that's about all so Port has arguably the most impotent coaching panel in the AFL.

 

[Marmozet]

What’s infuriating is that while the Crows bottomed out in the last 2 years, we had a golden opportunity to really grind them into the dirt and unequivocally become #1 in SA.

But here we are! And I hate to say it, but it won’t take much and it won’t be long for them to come good again in a few years. Who knows where we’ll be by then?

 

[Lefti93]

This idiot needs to go, how the hell can that even happen? Getting rid of him is equally important as getting rid of Ken, lost our identity with this prick

 

[StrappingTape]

After the game they were deep in Convo in their seats well after most had left. Hopefully that means a sacking tonight

 

[MrMeaner]

Please don't invest too much hope in the Sydney spiv doing anything. He will not.

It does for us, but do they feel the chickens have come to roost? There's pride here at stake. Bad comparison but Putin continues to bomb Women Children and Animals.

Unfortunately this is spot on. It’s only the start of Ken’s latest extension. Game 2 of 44. We are never going to write a cheque that covers a two year payout.

Ken is going absolutely nowhere this year both literally and figuratively.

We're a poor club

Poor clubs only need to pay for 6 months of their remaining contract.

If they do it now they'll be able to go in with a full soft cap to spend on for 2023 to gut the coaches box and hire some actual talent in there.

My bad I forgot they brought this in. It’s still a shitload of roller blinds though.
