David Koch - The Chairman of the Board

[RossFC]

Channel Seven is reportedly holding 'crisis talks' after Sunrise was beaten by Nine's Today show for the first time in three years this month.

"No one saw this coming, least of all Nat and Kochie who thought they were cruising to their fourth year in a row as number one," they added. "It's cutthroat at the best of times, but there's a lot at stake, and ratings being this close calls for drastic measures."

Ha ha, did your ratings drop by 10% Koch, what a shame, don't listen to it it's just whit noise.

Delete Channel 7.

David Koch epitomises vanilla `leader ' = vanilla club!
He is not fit to tie the shoelaces of someone like Bob McLean.

The sentiment would sound more sincere if he wasn't almost always looking down at the ipad. The content also leaves a lot to be admired. Absolutely delusional; "it was only a few years ago we couldn't make finals" (ignoring that we should have been in them), "we've won more games than anyone in the last two years" (but not the games that mattered Koch).

It's the total nightmare of having somebody in a position of so much power that has absolutely no understanding or feel for the game, but thinks they do.

If I could only pick 1 person to sack/remove from the Club it would be Koch before Hinkley, and I soooooooo want Hinkley gone.

"it was only a few years ago we couldn't make finals"

I'm not watching but this is particularly galling.

"It was only a few years ago we failed to capitalise on what we'd built in 2013 and 2014 by letting opposition coaches run rings around us as if we were playing Madden 2001 against our older brother on the Nintendo 64, not realising he could see what plays we were selecting every time"

As expected, this idiot just says the same shit Rucci says. Flogs, all of them.

I thought it was pretty good as far as president’s speeches go. Did the right thing by the sponsors and recognised our stars. He’s bang on, we’re a good club not a great club. Third place this year, third place last year, we won’t be happy until we’re winning a grand final. How would you have done it better? And don’t be piss weak with a #sackken actually say how your speech would have been better.

3rd place is not good enough at Port Adelaide. Another failed season. We don't do silly labels like bad, good or great at Port Adelaide - you either win or you lose.

Etc.

It's one of those journeys where you'll end up being a senile 90 something muttering "are we there yet".

 

[VineValerian]

"Greatness" absolutely IS a destination.

It is a result of whole hearted commitment to excellence, and the pursuit of wanting to be the best at what you do. And of not making the same mistakes over and over and expecting different results

With ruthless determination, with everyone on the SAME page, and with the adoption of proven successful strategies, it can be achieved - with relative speed.

What a cop out, and what an insult to members, supporters and past champions

This shames the foundation stone of what the PAFC is all about.

We're not on a journey, not on an end of season holiday. We are thundering towards domination. And it needs to start NOW, and needs to be achieved with haste.
Stuff meandering about, taking tiny morsels of lessons from others, and making miniscule, incremental gains.

We become great from this night onwards.
And we do it the Port Adelaide way.
Brutally. Efficiently. Immediately.
It is passion. It is Port.

We all know it’s not good enough. He said that. He said we won’t be happy until we’ve won a premiership. He can’t win, even if he quit, it wouldn’t be enough. we’re all disappointed but this toxic nature that comes through in every single thread is wearing thin.

We're arguing about whether the empty platitudes are sombre enough. Meanwhile every major decision maker at the club in the Koch era is either still here or left of his own accord.

The club simply doesn't do accountability. And we're entering year 10 of this. The last time we held a key decision maker accountable for poor performance at this club, Gangnam Style was the hottest song on the planet.

Also, this is the end game Ken. If you don’t win a flag before your contract is up we’ll get someone else who can.

"we are the greatest club in the history of the code, but in recent memory we've been disappointing and failed to reach our goals." is a much better way of putting things, for starters. in fact that should be 75% of our presidents speech - thank the sponsors, thank the outgoing staff, say we're pissed off and next year's flag is ours, then **** off back stage and go polish his head.

it's the current regime that is not great, merely good, but they will die before admitting it. wouldn't you think a club president that oversees a 150th birthday celebration, a movie length documentary drenched in winning culture, winning tradition, a piece of film that shits all over every other piece of footy media in history purely by the winning heritage on display, would realise the privileged position he is in at a truly great club, and not put us down and lower expectations and morale by calling us "good, not great"? if he thinks we are no longer great - because nobody can deny we were - when does he think we stopped being great? would any other chairman in the history of our club have ever said we're good but not great? would any of them spin it by going "hey we were humiliated, but our home and away record kicks ass!!!!"?

"greatness is not a destination, it's a journey!" is a line that gets stupider every time I try and interpret what the **** it actually means, it's like something from a children's movie, like something Donkey would say to Shrek, but then I quickly remember he's a bullshitting deceiver and I don't need to overanalyse what I know is just a man "managing expectations" as he told us he was doing in 2013.

This is a professional bullshitter hard at work.

Greatness is 100% the destination in the context of winning a flag. The journey can only be considered great in retrospect if this result is achieved. If it isn’t achieved then the journey can in no way be considered great by any measure. Absolute nonsense.

We are this f@&king close to becoming a 2020s St Kilda and releasing a Netflix doco in the same vein as “The Streak.”
