News Koch blocks Tredders push for the board

[JimmyBC]

There's also the issue that we probably have a loony contingent of members who think Tredders is some off the chain anti-vax terrorist.

 

[Doctor Feel]

So who is replacing Cahill then?
Also, isn't this the first public acknowledgment from the club that Cahill is stepping off the board?

This current board is being run like a personal fiefdom by a handful of CV padders.

Exactly this.

That makes him perfect for the boring and pathetic shit heap that are present on the board.

 

[agmsy]

What would Tredrea actually be able to do to the board?

I thought the gossip was that Cahill was no particular fan of Hinkley? Supposing anti-Hinkley Tredrea replaces anti-Hinkley Cahill and quickly becomes head of the anti-Hinkley cabal, what corporate governance levers are there for him to pull?

 

[Jojay]

The fact Koch has knocked back our only AFL premiership captain says it all really. Lol they've ve created a nice little boy's club down there.

We need Tredders in there now more than ever

 

[JUSTWORK]

Time for a campaign to the AFL, Koch is not acting in the best interest of the club and should be removed from the board by the AFL.

Should be led by the like of Tredrea & Cahill.

A lot of people see his anti vax stance as a negative. While I don’t necessarily agree with him about that, I think it shows that he’s prepared to stick to his beliefs in the face of opposition. Not a bad quality to have if he’s a board-member.

 

[TeeKray]

Lol. The subtext here is you aren't wanted on the board so don't stand for election. Tredders needs to call this out and stand anyway. He will get elected in a landslide.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Imgaine holly ransom and tredrea in the same boardroom lmao

That and he knows Ken's a shit coach.

Which is different to the current wank.

I think this is exactly the quality we despise in Koch.

She seems the type to go overboard with masks.

Imagine being in a room with those two.

I'd pay.

 

[MrPlow]

He's not, but I reckon Tredrea's faith in "doing his own research" betrays the same character defect that we've come to enjoy so much in Koch.

I take your point but Tredrea is applying for a football-based role - a role he has an extensive background in

It’s like denying Djokovic a tennis-based role because of his covid views. Makes no sense

 

[Doctor Feel]

There you have it. David Koch is the undisputed king of Port Adelaide, so much so he has surpassed our AFL premiership captain.

 

[Janey]

I think this is exactly the quality we despise in Koch.

If, as we suspect, he is anti-Hinkley, we don't want him just caving in to the likes of Koch. If he’s going to be like that, what’s the point of electing him anyway?

 

[Phar Ted]

With everything that Treadrea has spouted over the last couple years, I’m not too mad about this.

Koch is still an idiot though.

Football wise what has he said wrong?
The anti-vax stuff has NOTHING to do with this position.

 

[agmsy]

I reckon it's closer to denying Djokovic a spot on the AO organising committee on the basis that his being an outstanding tennis player is not enough to overcome his relative lack of event planning and management experience.

He wouldn't be on the board to count pennies or plan events.

He'd be there to pressure the football operations

 

[TeeKray]

Wouldn't be surprised if Hinkley personally got involved and blocked this.

 

[Harlott]

There you have it. David Koch is the undisputed king of Port Adelaide, so much so he has surpassed our AFL premiership captain.

Exactly. What TF makes Koch an expert on the “process” best suited to fill a board position?

 

[bomberclifford]

I am disappointed that there is not a former player on the Board.

AFAIK there's not even anyone who was ever involved in football at any level on our board.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Appoint Cahill, tell Tredrea to go through elections.

I see how it is.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Any coincidence that Cahill has just been on tredreas podcast and now this?

Its pretty clear Cahill is was/is unhappy.

 

[JimmyBC]

Yep he knows Tredrea is trouble for him no doubt.

Nothing is truly coincidence.

Especially in this space
