I still can't fathom that these idiots think we've had a successful year - if I manage to get there, I'll put it to them that our last successful year was 2004.

Truth hurts
.
They are trying to change the narrative, Koch just wants to feel validated for keeping stinkers about so long, because the obvious fact is after 12 years we haven’t even made a GF.
Question 1.
Why is the club putting forward that 2024 was a success, when it ended with two out of three finals performances being non competitive, with the average losing margin of 5 of our last 6 finals being over 10 goals? Given that making the top 4 is a significant challenge and achievement, should not we be attempting to maximise what we do with the double chance, rather than pissing it away 4 times in the last 5 years?
Question 2.
Given our now extremely poor finals record, what is being done in 2025 to change the approach? Why has the club decided to stick with the same coaching squad that has now utterly failed to capitalise on their opportunities for over a decade?
Question 3.
Why haven't we enlisted the help of a sports psychologist or leading mentor to effectively attempt to undo Kenny's loser brainwashing, which has seeped into almost all of our players, leading them to piss their pants at any and all high pressure situations?
Question 4.
Why haven't you sacked ken Hinkley?
Question 5.
The club's creed specifies that any "no-hopers" will be cleaned out. If that is the case, why is the biggest no hoper of all, known granny scammer David Koch, still at this football club disgracing it's history with his presence?

Question One.
Why?!
Why?!
Final question for the bonglords present today. Ken Hinkley recently stated in 2023 that this was the best list he's ever had. At the end of the season, the club decided we needed key defenders and rucks, and so traded away future draft capital to fill those needs. Then this year piss Davies said the list is shit. Yet we finished the minor round second on the ladder.
Given our high H&A finishes, and the club trading away our future picks to fill needs now, this suggests we are in a premiership window. Why do you ****ing losers then turn around and say the players are shit and it's their fault? Which is it? Is the list good or is it cooked? Why do you spineless weasels do anything to protect the cult of ken Hinkley, when it's obvious as dogs bollocks he's the main part of the problem?
Finally, **** you all, you ruined the club.

Finally, **** you all, you ruined the club.
Bonus supplementary question:
The club publically stated several years ago that it's goal was to win 3 flags on 5 years. Having utterly failed on that metric, failing to even qualify for a grand final in any competition during that period, who is being held accountable for these failures? In any professional organisation, missing your targets by that much should surely call for some independent review and for changes to be made. Why is the club so lacking in accountability?

My question. What would Ken have to do to actually be sacked?

He would probably have to assault someone at the AGM, who is asking unwelcome questions

You need to be there. Question time needs to be dominated by people aged 25 to 50. The fight is now in the hands of the younger set as the club is not interested in the opinions of older members. So all young active members on here that live in SA need to be there with relevant questions. If we can't do this the club will take it as a green light to continue on their way & we may be stuck with Ken for many years.
Snowdon has agreed to multiple extensions. Is he really the right guy. I'm wondering if they're rushing this thru to limit time for a new candidate to step up. I want to hear from Tredders re this from a reliable source that we can trust. I don't know who that is.

Don't want Abernathy. He was board backed. He's their man. No way.

They're not rushing this to limit time for a new candidate to step up. Couldn't be further from the truth. And Snowdon has a family health issue going on which makes it questionable as to whether he's going to run for re-election anyway.
Fwiw, if Snowdon runs again, I'd likely vote for him given his position on the head coach.
Thanks for the update as always, particularly re Snowdon.
