Successful sporting clubs go out and headhunt the best available person fir a given position. If that person isn't available they ruthlessly pinch them from other clubs.My point is the whole place stinks with no hopers who have had very little experience outside their own bubble.
- Chad is a no hoper and wouldnt get a job anywhere else but a footy club. He is a water boy or runner. That's it.
- Richo has been there for 20 years and does not know what good looks like
- Daniel Norton is the same - just a pure fan boy.
- We have Hartlett and Lobbe as coaches FFS. Hammer is the poster boy of going missing when it mattered.
Look at what the best do. They change it up, surround themselves with those that will challenge them or provide an alternative view, give others the power to influence areas in which they have strength (e.g., Chris Scott, McRae). The opposite happens at Port. Someone has a differing view or challenges the Ken status quo and they are gone (Schoey, Monty). Ken is so insecure, weak and lacking in talent, but because he plays the media well he has supporters. He is at cranbroune studying dogs in off season while Mcrae is at Harvard learning about leadership, Mitchell spends a week at Spurs with Postecoglu. For all his shortcomings he and the club do nothing to develop him. Its embarassing.
Conversely, Port is about taking snowflakes who are just a part of the furniture and making a role for them somewhere.
