So you endorse his comments about David Koch?

I don’t condone simba’s comments at all. They are factually incorrect and quite frankly embarrassing.

Koch is the biggest dog port have ever given an honorary position to is more apt.

These types of Posts are pathetic. He has done a hell of a lot more for the club than you will do, if you lived your life 3 times over.
I really dont know why anyone would post this garbage. Previously you have had a fascination with degenerating Jordan Hinkley now this.
Wake up to yourself, and if all of your other moronic posting mates think that this okay, well more fool them.
Not sure if you even know that it is an honorary position you fool.

well the thought genuinely crossed my mind so i posted it. can you actually answer? is it possible to name a chairman who has done so many things to upset and anger the supporters and the very foundations of the club? i was actually questioning the chairman position specifically but didn't actually say so, i didn't mean worst person ever employed by the club, we've had some bad characters, i know. is he the biggest 'dog' we've ever had as chair? i know he's done a lot for our club and going back many years i was always defending him and doing the whole "look how fantastic he is for our brand nationally" thing, but it's 2022 now, don't you think a lot of that is rapidly being undone?

Dont really want to go on a rant about this board, but this crap is an example of what this board has become.
It is just a vehicle for the same old smart arses to post a crap "oh so funny" repetitive comment on individuals at the club.
What has happened to the old Port Board that discussed PAFC issues with strong opinions and respectful responses to other peoples thoughts.
It even had wit and fun amongst the strong banter. In those days people might not of liked what was happening and certain individuals at the club but it wasnt constant derogatory personal comments.
So many of those posters have now gone unfortunately, no doubt due to many reasons, but if they read the tripe that is on here now I dont think they would be in any hurry to come back.

Thats one way to justify the phrase "biggest dog port have ever employed"

Without being a smart ass I can tell you exactly what has happened to this board.

We are done. We are all over the current regime, the constant gaslighting from the club, the media and other supporters. This club existed in excellence for 140 years prior to Hinkley. In the AFL we were the winningest side from our inception to 2010 yet a couple down years and all of a sudden that becomes our identity and these same gaslighters continually hark bark to how Hinkley ‘saved’ us in our dark times. You know what else saved us? Actually having a funded football department for the first time ever. I have zero doubt the Primus would have been just as successful had he all the luxuries Hinkley has been afforded.

So what do we have left? Our club has been propagated by blow ins and people who tell us what we should think whilst serving up a shit sandwich. We have no other vehicle left to show our displeasure and that’s why these boards are like they are.

Change the culture of the club and you watch the negativity fade away from this place.

Perfect, more responses like that and I will have nothing to whine about. It is your thoughts expressed in your words without being derogatory or name calling.
My point is more about the cheap personal shots that constantly appear and the pile on that then follows.
Anyway I have had my say and by the way I have no family ties to DBJ but he reached out and assisted someone close to me which I will always be grateful for

"The old port board"

You joined in 2019. So tell me, who were you before this sycophant alias or you have literally no idea what an "old port board" is.

Meanwhile, still haven’t received my membership pack. Goin’ great guns.

Still don't have mine. Though, i only finally decided to re-sign a week and a half out from the season. Not too fussed though, as the only thing i ever use is the bumper sticker, and that won't be going on this year.
 
I thought the old Port board was the one from 10 years ago where we'd make fun of Steven Trigg, talk about the buses and say Neade Moore Redden White Wines at random times.
 
One of my memberships got sent to work last week while I was WFH and I opened it on Friday to find a photo of myself and ken within a love heart and the caption Ken loves <my name>. It was terrible MS PAINT skills. It was brilliant

I work with a bunch of campaigners
 
Lol is that you david
Standard response anytime someone defends a club patron, staff member or family. “Is that you David/Ken/Donna…” you can defend a staff member and still believe there needs to be a change of coach. Very hard to have a balanced argument if we all just spit venom and bile every time someone offers and alternate opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
How is being Chairman an honorary position? He may not get monetary compensation but there are duties associated with the role.
There are also legal consequences to the duties he performs.

As the man with ultimate stewardship over our club, Koch has cultivated a very un-Port Adelaide culture. We're completely unaccountable. We shift the goalposts. We hate being judged by any standards. We set expectations then gaslight our own supporters. We've had some good results with sponsors but hardly wow deals for a club of our size. We have the 2nd most famous chairman but haven't been able to expand our influence at all. We still get treated like a poor little club despite being top half of the table for membership and revenue in this league. Port Adelaide were never underdogs, we expected to win. Not anymore. Now winning is too difficult.

Anything Koch has achieved has to be measured against the club turning completely against the ethos that made this club great under his watch. Sure, there were problems at the end of the Choco era which happened because we were being run on the smell of an oily rag due to our stadium deal and gave Choco too much power, but Koch has only leaned into these problems. He's embraced mediocrity. He's shunned expectation. He's the very antithesis of the creed.

This is Koch's legacy. This is how he'll be remembered unless he grows a spine and starts making some ruthless decisions for the betterment of the club.
 
so you can't answer
You are the epitome of what I am referring to. You use the term "dog" in derogatory way about an Individual, and instead of being man enough to admit you may have been out of line, you come up with some half arsed post trying to justify it by saying you were referring to the chairmans position.
You specifically said his name.
My whole point is stop the derogatory name calling. Okay to talk about whether the Chairmans position is needed, or the coaches game plan etc but just go easy on the constant personal put downs.
