You are correct that the club is more stable off field since Koch took charge (although as has been pointed out many times before, some of the things that have made this the case were already in train before Koch arrived).
The concern that many have on this forum is that under Koch's leadership the club has moved further and further away from what might be regarded as the traditional Port Adelaide way of doing things. This would include things like the ruthless pursuit of success, not accepting mediocrity and striving to be the best. A lot of people see the leadership of the club - ie the board and executive - and notice that none of them have ever played for the club or been a part of the club in any serious capacity during the times in which it has been successful. This leads to the question of whether the club has lost a significant part of its identity and, if so, what could be done to regain it.
Tredrea is a Port Adelaide person. He grew up supporting the club, his father played for the club, he played for the club, he captained the club to its only premiership this millennium. He was also a tough, driven, single minded campaigner of a player who played exactly the way Port Adelaide supporters expect their team to play. He knows what the club needs to do to be successful because he's lived it. If you want to dismiss this fact based on the idea that he's 'just an ex player' then go for it, but most people are going to believe that he has value to add.
Thanks Kochie.He literally offers nothing. You could say those things about Sir Donald Bradman and he was a campaigner of an administrator and caused serious rifts at SACA. You allow people like him on the board and you get Mark Riccuto. He hasn't had any serious involvement with the club for 15 years. Here's an article from 2014 that looks at our 2004 premiership team: Class of '04: Where are they now?.
Basically everyone on that list is more qualified to be on the board than Tredrea. I thought I was clear in my post. Whatever your criteria, there is someone better than Tredrea. It would be a sad indictment on our club if the best we could find is 'some guy that won a flag with us 20 years ago, that has had no day to day involvement with AFL for 15 years, has no business experience, has had a massively sheltered existence as a footballer/media personality, and has expressed interest mostly because he has some free time on his hands from being sacked from his previous job'. This is not a anti player thing - Wanganeen was a great appointment. I am sure you can find 1 passionate, successful person, with some AFL credibility who adds more than Tredrea.
He's got one fairly large qualification others don't, and that's a willingness to put himself forward and a desire to sack Ken.He literally offers nothing.

KT took co-captains to the Board despite knowing full well the members' sentiment. KT can go fly a kite.Isnt it funny how when they all came on they fixed a bunch of little things like members nights, more transparency etc.
Then after they fixed the obvious any dullard could do, they ran out of ideas and regressed.
Very limited.
Members have certainly been treated with less and less respect, and has gone off a cliff since KT left. Hitting rock bottom with members being shut out of the B&F until the uproar. What a shocking representation of where members sit with this leadership team.
There is no way KT would have even let that idea be floated I don't feel.

Gav was a total waste of space. The opposite of what he was as a player.If members start voting in numskulls like Tredrea and become a haven for loud mouthed bogans, you probably have nothing to worry about on that front.
The irony of someone with the username PrisonBars4life defending the current admin who have done absolutely nothing to redress the travesty of justice that is the ban on us wearing the Prison Bars.
Koch will talk so much it will run over time then theyll be like sorry guys gotta scoot.
* me the club announced it on December 14th, and emailed a notice to members on January 30thIs the AGM tomorrow
* me the club kept that quiet i wont be able to get there sadly
On that info - DK by the length of the Nullarbor PlainTredrea captained Port Adelaide to our only AFL premiership. Koch's greatest claim to fame in making Hinkley a 10 year coach. Line-ball decision on who has done more for the club really.
