2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[spenze]

Bulldogs dodged a massive bullet not giving up pick 11 for Lobbe

 

[GreyCrow]

Ken stands up , Rucci asks another question

Kens mind is spinning '' can I just leave''

 

[chazwazza]

Poor Michaelangelo wants to stay and chat, he's got nothing else to do.

 

[hendo8888]

Let him go Rucci...
He literally stood up. The press conference is over.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hinkley admitted port have poor depth to bring in replacements.

They have spent up big on both Ryder & Dixon... When they need as many picks as possible to bring in young talent.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

He was talking about pre-season marketing budget, but didn't articulate it well.

I know, just having a dig at the welfare club.

 

[relapse]

The latest trend for bandwagoners is they act like consumers of a product and to demonstrate their displeasure they wont turn up. So in other words they just treat their club like a bad restaurant. Richmond supporters are the same.

That's because the novelty of Adelaide Oval has brought in a huge amount of casual supporters. The challenge for them is retaining these people once the novelty wears off, Koch is starting to run out of gimmics to keep drawing the people through the gates and if they keep serving up putrid performances the crowds will continue to drop.

 

[LC40]

Rucci is auditioning for the coaches job at the press conference.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Unbelievable! Ken just changed the meaning of the slogan we'll never give up. Just said its not about giving up in a game, its about never giving up on the club!?!??!? WTF???

That was staggering.

 

[Iron]

Wow this is getting awkward now. Looks like Rooch has his own little presser at the moment.

Almost waiting for it to get really personal.

"Do you still love me Ken"

Next up are Mitchell and Butcher

Holy crap

 

[Geoffa32]

Port are in a world of trouble. Not even worth bothering with.

I was at the game. The players don't care and Kern is a hack coach.

 

[SydCrow]

This is an excellent post - may I use that slogan?

Of course. Please use *Made in China with it.

Next it will be Port Players doing Karaoke during half time.

and Polec too.

It doesn't get easier for them because they've already traded their second pick this year which is now looking like a early to mid 20s pick as part of the Dixon deal.

Haha funniest post ever

His long term plan revealed at last

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Next up are Mitchell and Butcher

Holy crap

Those to bring effort they badly need, but really are not the future - pun intended.

 

[Mego Red]

Wonder if anyone will touch that?
Granted ex player coming back and all!
But after all their ****en high and mighty shit last year, they can **** themselves

What's wrong with a club booing a player that left them for another team?

That seems a lot different to anything that happened with Goodes. Not sure what he had ever done, other than be outspoken about race.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Unbelievable! Ken just changed the meaning of the slogan we'll never give up. Just said its not about giving up in a game, its about never giving up on the club!?!??!? WTF???

I just wanted to quote this again!! This gem made it worth staying up for the presser…the spin is crumbling and being redefined.

No longer are they the fit team that never gave up on a game…now it's just "um, it means we just never give up, you know, just never ever, more in a future sense, just that we can in the here in now, but that doesn't matter"

How long till there is a groundswell of hatred for NTUA?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Rucci will tear them apart, i can assure them of that. I bet he will start being anti-ken

 

[Paladin]

How was the pre game?

 

[Tex200]

Oh dear - now we're redefining never giving up.

That's gold dust

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

and Polec too.

What they haven't realised is being a destination club isn't about bringing players in who aren't necessarily of a need & then overpaying them to fill up your cap... It's about identifying needs & targeting players who you think may fill gaps on your list.

geez i'ld love to be able to sabotage their karaoke recording pre-game - it would look/sound good to just hear the passion of their supporters singing

 

[fairfooty]

Port has become a shallow marketing pack of cards - and its all about to fall down...
