Toast #BringBackTheBars - Our Heritage, Our History, Our Right! Part 2

[NoddyHolder]

I'm not going to listen to the interview because the sound of his voice makes me want to break things, but did our chairman address the absolute absurdity of collingwood being the deciders of this issue? Did he challenge his afl masters to make the decision themselves, and treat us equally with every other club in the comp? Or is a bit too gutless for that?

Yeah if you suffer from high blood pressure don't listen. He basically admitted Collingwood essentially tell us what to do with our history. He said we have been played because we were "too nice" on this issue.

Pretty well sums up the way they have dealt with an underperformed 10 year coach too.

These people are slowly but surely eroding the fabric of our club

 

[Grave Danger]

6 minutes of jenkins and maher? do i get paid to listen to that

It's actually worth it in this case - Maher gets it and was really good in that clip; Jenkins okay, but still a bit of a d1ckhead.

Did the world end?

 

[afl2004]

We've seen this movie before

 

[PowerBaz]

Yeah so what if we just wear it - Collingwood takes us to court? so what, let it go to court, every member might chip on 20 bucks, there's 1.2 million for a good cause.

We didn't get into the AFL by being nice. Keeping Ken and this limp attitude sums up the place at the min.

 

[PowerBaz]

Did the world end?

Naturally no.....

 

[NoddyHolder]

Collingwood referencing an agreement that doesn't exist again? Show us the paperwork you ****ing liars

 

[VineValerian]

Did the world end?

Should have.

 

[Winganeen]

Port need to reference the EPL and their strips and suggest the AFL need to learn a thing or two.

Your point is valid, though the AFL seems to model itself on American "closed shop" franchise leagues. Take the NFL example, yep, no duplication of colours or "infringed trademarks" there....

 

[Grave Danger]

The sooner it goes to court the better.

I don't suppose that'll eventuate, but if it did...


Port counsel to AFL: So you're happy to leave this to the two clubs to resolve?

AFL: Yes

Port Counsel: So if there were an agreement you would have no objection to the Prison Bar jumper being worn?

AFL: No

Port Counsel: So it's not about the jumper, which happens to use the same two colours, but a manifestly different design?

AFL: Well, it does have horizontal stripes...

Port Counsel: As do Hawthorn and North Melbourne

AFL: Different colours though

Port Counsel: Carlton and Geelong have the same colours but a different design...

AFL: Exactly

Port Counsel: Exactly. No further questions Your Honour.

As I've always said, the battle to wear them is where the power is.

I'm ok with it being knocked on the head again.
What absolutely must not happen now is the club just giving up.
It needs to ramp up.

 

[Janus]

There is actually a set penalty for wearing the wrong jumper:



1 unit is $1k. Do the math.

Keeping Ken, playing nice with the bars issue (expecting respect) - it's all a load of crap. The AFL and Collingwood just play cat and mouse with us.

Seeing as the AFL aren't interested in dealing with it (but hold the IP) then just wear it, let Collingwood take us to court, I bet the AFL would suddenly be interested.

$20k

and?

 

[Janus]

$20k

and?

Read it again. It’s $20k PER PLAYER.

We’re not paying close to half a million dollars.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

If only Koch was that passionate about the on field aspects about port. Ken would had been sacked years ago if he was

* Up to, but yeah

Why not

Money comes from AFL house anyway

Put the egg on their face

 

[Enviable Tradition]

if Kochie was Chairman in the late 90's would Port be in the AFL?

Not on our own.

He'd have suggested we join the cartel.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Yes. They are acting in bad faith again by blatantly lying and hoping the general public run with it.

We agreed to wear it that once.

We just didnt agree that would mean never again after as they are suggesting.

Kochie was told last season that in our case, the penalty is a 4 point deduction.

 

[chiwigi]

The sooner it goes to court the better.

There is nothing to go to court over.

Unless we wear it and the AFL take us to court.

The AFL own everything.
