George is being cagey at the start of his reply to Question 3 above.
He knows the ‘conflict of interest’ fingers are pointed at Cos Cardone.
Goodness me, it was George himself who told me years ago that Cardone would constantly try to shoot down Bring Back The Bars by going around the board...
I’m happy to take time out to explain to you because you’re new.
1. Tradition. PAFC has a lot of it. Brisbane doesn’t … yet.
2. Hinkley brought in the co-captains ruse for 2019 as a diversion, an attempt to blunt the focus on his appalling coaching.
3. Hinkley is a fraud. Co-captains is a...
A very apt turn of phrase. Goes with ‘nursemaid’.
Something else CD admitted to me in that conversation was that his own priority had always been to “look after Ken Hinkley”.
I piped up and told him he was wrong, that his job was to “look after the Port Adelaide Football Club”.
My reckoning...
In a conversation I had with CD about three months ago I asked this question.
His answer was that the shift of Hinkley from box to bench resulted from the senior players, having lost badly despite wearing the bars in a home showdown, called a mid-week meeting with the coaching panel to admit...
Received an email from my ex-mate the CEO yesterday confirming that my name has been removed from every PAFC list it had been on.
For 2025 I shall be buying my ‘international membership’ Global Pass via the Suns. Ironic that, considering 2017, David Koch and the colour red.
They’re $6 cheaper...
‘ … some decision makers …’
You keep dangling this sort of prose.
Who the hell are you talking about?
Or are you just trying to make yourself look important?
Hello back, mate.
I use ‘fate’ because it’s easier, another four-letter word starting with ‘f’.
Instead I could use ‘leading with your chin’ instead of ‘tempting fate’. This was done for example when the new CEO came out with his ‘three premierships, 100,000 members and zero debt’.
It’s...
Fate take note
I’ve been quiet lately. It’s been tempting to speak up. But fate, I know, has found it tempting, too. Fate has been waiting for me to say something optimistic out loud. So I’ll tempt nothing and just point something out.
Three years ago, at this point of the season, we had...
Oh. But if your money is on the Jinx being at West Coast in 2025, it follows that Schofield will be on the move again. If not back to Alberton then perchance to Freo to replace Gentleman JL? I mean, if your money is on it … with that money being rendered ‘smart money’ by the inside Alberton...
Come on REH, tell the new posters the whole story.
Don’t leave out the part where Koch almost screwed the MG project before it got started.
Then tell us about the Redevelopment, which was KT’s dream to begin with … how we were promised $20,000,000 by China for it as at early 2018 … how Richo...
AusGold was indeed shonky, but PAFC got every penny from them that was due. The Liberal Party forced the issue when a final tranche of $600k was overdue and the money was paid.
KT however ‘liked’ the Chinese woman in charge and was set to give her more time and more advertising real estate.
As...
Goodbye MG ?
When Peter Ciao, CEO of MG Motor in Sydney, met with the PAFC directors on the day of the partnership launch pre-season 2020, he asked them when was Port going to win its next premiership.
His question was greeted with a prolonged uncomfortable silence.
Ciao was puzzled. He...
The on-line text in the final sentence has been adjusted to include balancing reference to Hinkley’s failure to advance beyond the preliminary final stage.
