Opinion Non-Crows AFL 9

[Geoffa32]

With the squad that Port have, they will neither win the flag, nor bottom out. Their supporters dont see it yet, but they are in no mans land.

They will be like Geelong, without the flags.

Keeps the current regime in a job.

That is the plan.

They will make Finals the next rwo seasons, or even just 2025 and Ken will be extended.

Josh Carr is on that gravy train as well.

No way Port make finals in 2025

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So Port only have a 2nd and 3rd round pick next year as well. How are they going to get 2024's missing piece?

Future 1st of course.

They keep using more than their means.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It's pretty smart really. When it all eventually falls apart, the AFL will go "what do you mean you don't have first round picks, and haven't had for 5 years" and have to give them a few.

They aren't a Melbourne club like the Roos...

Also, Tassie will be the new club to get priority picks.

... yes, I know you weren't really being serious.

Hopefully!

Would be funny if they miss 2024.

How many year's was Ken signed for...

Few years at 9th would be awesome.

But I am renowned for being serious

Craig Hutchison has offloaded his NZ radio stations

Surely the rules don't allow you to do that indefinitely.

And yet he was adamant "there is nothing to see here" when he tried to explain the companies' financial situation. LOL.

So he sold them back for $4M, but no mention what he bought the NZ stations for... let alone losing $2.4 pa on them.

A couple of things - he is very selective to promote the numbers -

1. He states it made a $5m profit. It actually made a Operating Loss of $9.3m and it breached its covenant requirements in the last quarter. Yes, it made a profit when looking at EBITDA but he didn’t state that, he just loosely said it made a profit

2. He states the debt is 12 weeks of turnover, WTF! Who would even say this, turnover is irrelevant if you can’t make a profit and service ones debt.

He is like a snake oil salesman.

Looking at the Financial Statements as at 2021, there seems to be a value of $2.193m so assume this was the consideration.

Anyhow I wouldn’t trust anything coming out of Hutchy’s mouth.

Does his company last out the 2024 season?

If Hutchy isn't shitting bricks, he should be.

But hey he bought out the Pies netball team which should be a huge money spinner... if Dan Andrews was still Premier lol.

 

[SugarShane]

I have given up most Footy media the last few years, and finding I am enjoying the actual sport much better.

Absotively. I swore it off a few years ago and footy has never been better.

Footy media is simply one big circle jerk where one shock jock says something dumb or makes up a rumour, then all the others discuss it for the next few days as if it has any substance, then rinse and repeat.

Every club that wins 3 in a row, regardless of opposition, are finals threats. Every club that loses 3 in a row, regardless of opposition, has had their season derailed.

It's honestly hilarious how all of them can have such inaccurate "mail" re player movements and still rock up and spout their bullshit with a straight face.

Hutchy just sold off his New Zealand arm of the business .....I'd suggest his sporting teams will be next .....fire sale ! fire sale !

Which is all Super Netball needs - the Mavericks not even lasting a pre-season.

Nek minnit - it's proven to be a complete and utter load of bollocks.

There is so much gambling advertising on SEN. if the govt tightens that up, as seems at least possible, it would be a big blow for him.

My gut feel is Ken will be gone at the end of 2024. I know it was a two year deal but I think they will mutually part ways.

Ken is only gone if Port implodes and forces Koch hand, otherwise, the gravy train will keep-a-rolling.
