Ah yes, it's the AFL's fault your club continues to accept mediocrity.At the 15 minute mark of his speech last night, while introducing the senior coach, he called supporters that are anti-Hinkley bastards.
The fat shit can rot in hell.
How do I set my AFL Club to blank, this is not the Port Adelaide I grew up with, this is some AFL led parody and I refuse to continue to support it in any way.
Chief: Please set my AFL club to blank and remove the BTTB trophy.

Amongst other things, the kuckmeister said last night that the team had achieved a pass mark by making the finals. A team that finished top 4 last year, then traded out draft picks to give Kenny the missing puzzle pieces for the 100th time, mortgaging it's future for the grand achievement of... Making the top 8 in an 18 team competition.
Amazing stuff. David kuck is despised by port supporters because his mission isn't to even attempt to win flags. He's not interested. That's too hard. The only goal is to steer the club to a place of stability, where we can consistently noodle around and win 6/10 home and away games, and keep the happy clappers entertained with INXS songs at home games.
We're a joke

Port under Ken Hinkley have made 4 prelim finals from 2014 to 2024.
Dockers have only made 3 prelim finals from 1995 to 2024.
Port have won 6 finals in Ken Hinkleys tenure as coach from 2013 to 2024.
Dockers have won only 8 finals in 30 season from 1995 to 2024.
I respect Port posters of competitiveness and having higher standards and expectations. But its not easy winning a flag or making a grand final. If that was the case, Both SA sides would of won 5 flags each since 1997.

He's the last of the dinosaurs - the "celebrity" club president. Collingwood ditch Eddie and get to a flag. Hawthorn ditch Kennett and rocket up the ladder. Port stick with Koch and it's the same old song and dance. It's absolutely make or break next year for Port and I hope if the Power don't win the flag, he goes the way of the brontosaurus for the sake of the Port faithful.

His loyalty to Ken will be his legacy.
Thanks for letting me know. I've been conned by your fellow supporter's into thinking you were a 'real' footy club. If this is true I guess Port Power are just another AFL franchise.
12 years and no one at Port chose to question what 'from time to time' meant?

Koch has recently compared Hinkley to Fagan, which is fair given Fagan is older and has a slightly worse win percentage.
Fagan went in to bat for Hinkley this year when Hinkley was under pressure after the Port and Brisbane game.

Of course he did!
Because Port with Hinkley are not a serious threat.

Hinkley took Port to within a kick of a grand final in 2014 and 2020.
Port were definitely a premiership threat in those years.
There's every chance they can become a premiership threat again in 2025 with the additions of Lukosius and Richards.
Port's biggest weakness is their forward line and these guys are handy additions.

Yeah Nah.
Nobody is seriously worried about Port under Hinkley.
Let’s see Port not choke in a final first.
Ah yess being slightly more successful than one of the most unsuccessful clubs in the league, that’s what we are truely aiming for.
Using that logic, it’s incredible any coach ever gets sacked really.
Lead a team to a couple finals over a long arse stretch, sign them for life!!
Why was Buckley sacked? Why was Sanderson sacked? Why was Brad Scott sacked? Why was Malthouse sacked?
Could make a never ending list if your only requirement is some level of success over a decade. Sign them all for life!
What about Rocket Eade and his time at the Dogs? Very similar to Ken yet they have him the boot after he couldn’t get the team there.
Were you this defensive when they got the boot?
One of if not the greatest VFL/AFL era presidents that the game has ever seen.
Haters are just jealous of him.
Onya Kochie!

It's like the "celebrity" supporter who gets a disproportionate amount of attention (think Mick Molloy for Richmond) which always morphs into the celebrity somehow speaking for all fans of that club. I know Richmond fans who utterly despise Molloy, and I wouldn't mind betting there's a fair few with the same view of Koch.
Molloy is just a media guy who's dined out on the same jokes for 30 years, he's relatively harmless and holds no power. KochHead on the other hand is club President and is responsible for continually hiring a dud coach, making embarrassing gaffs, general buffoonery not befitting the position, gaslighting supporters and destroying the clubs culture from within. The guy is a complete Cancer.
No doubt, but the more airplay people like him get they get the more they think they speak for everyone. He certainly does.
Agree about Koch too, can't imagine how much it would suck to have someone like that as the face of the club.

I agree.
Port lost to Brisbane and GWS in 2023 finals. Port lost to Cats and Swans in the 2024 finals.
Port this Season and last season in 2023 was a victim of North Bias.
Not bias towards North Melbourne.
North Bias in my view is the AFL is heavily Bias towards the Queensland (Brisbane and Gold coast) and NSW (Swans and Giants) Clubs.
Hard to fight against The AFL if they want certain clubs to succeed for an extra dollar or 2.
