News Port Adelaide announces co-captains - Ollie Wines and Tom Jonas

[PatientMental]

Wait for them to announce the "The fan is our true #1" as our marketing campaign going into the season proper.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Fair enough people are venting, however I would like to congratulate Ollie and Jonas and wish them every success.

The venting isn't aimed at Ollie or Jonas, it's not their fault the club is pissweak. We could've appointed prime Russell Ebert and Warren Tredrea as co-captains and I still wouldn't be happy about it.

Disappointed Karl Anon couldn't get a Co-cappy nod.

Whoever made the decision to drip feed this to the media And treating us like idiots, instead of manning the **** up and just telling everyone should be walking on eggshells. Piss weak management. A very bad decision handled in the worst possible way.

 

[Greymatter]

I guess so.

With all this co-captains negative stuff going on, members are dropping off like flies. Two hours ago we had 51,176 members, now we're down to this. C'mon guys, stay on board, the club needs your support.

Still 1000 up on 2011's figures!

Now that would complete the vanilla milkshake we have become.

Can we change name of thread to "who will be port power franchise next captain(s)"?

 

[Interstater]

I need to walk away for a few days, I can't even imagine how people like Tim Ginever are feeling right now.

These clowns have shat on the traditions my grandfather amongst others help build at this club, how dare you.

Oh god. They are so doing this.

How gutless club has zero announcement today!

I can see that some people are genuinely upset with this, which I can understand, but some of the other pile-on hysteria is unreal.

Rooch is fanning the flames with his “149 year-old tradition” speak too. The idea of co-captains for us probably didn’t even come up until Primus/Tredrea, so it’s not like we’ve been nixing the idea since 1901 because tradition. A captain wearing number 1 is definitely tradition though, so we either give it to one of them or put it on hold until we have a standout leader again.

I’m not one for blind faith, but I imagine there are enough intelligent football brains among the coaching staff who spend about 1000% more time with the players than us to think they might have good reason to make what they would know is an unpopular decision. Hopefully we’ll hear their reasoning soon and can move on to other things, like winning games of football. And wearing the prison bars.

Oh well I suppose we should be happy to make finals now and again, all expectations I used to have of my beloved Port have evaporated.

In fact afl.com with announcement before port. This is a reflection of our leadership

No thanks. If they don’t understand this, they don’t understand Port and theydon’t deserve the title

The club can now let a kid wear number 1 for every game this year and do the community proud.

Oh ****.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

So what numbers do people think they will wear?

I have a sneaky feeling they are going to give Jonas #1 and keep Ollie in #16 and feed us some line about Tredders leading us to premiership glory in it.

I'd much prefer that the #1 remains vacant til someone demands it alone.

I'm not happy about it but it's failing to attract my ire at present.
