"Hey dad, oh there's evidence straight away that Gold Coast is a very good team at home. Here is a list of player names with pictures so you know who they are"
Kochie has actually succeeded in turning the PAFC into a small business. Should this surprise? Not at all, given his whole schtick.
It's about dollars and cents for him. The 'Chasing Greatness Fund' is about making a 'Financially Powerful' PAFC.
It’s apparently a game of guess who!
Did Milos yesterday and Egremni today. The decent and climb back up were hard core, especially in 39 degree heat, but the most spectacular turquoise water I've ever seen.Yes, the answer is yes. Southgate is a lucky man.
Enjoy Porto Katsiki.
6th on the ladder is a grand final appearance and a premiership all of a sudden?It's a bit hard to sack Ken when Port are sitting 6th on the ladder.

Great edit, PapaDid Milos yesterday and Egremni today. The decent and climb back up were hard core, especially in 39 degree heat, but the most spectacular turquoise water I've ever seen.
Oh yeah.... SACK HINKLEY.

You have to remember that one of the mainstays of fascism is to suppress any opposition to their power and although no one has been killed, assassinated or put in jail indefinitely, the unprecedented vilification of fans, calling them White Noise and the Charlie Dixon 2 cent rant is as close to it as you can do in the AFL.We haven't gotten to rounding up people and throwing them in gulags yet.

It's about dollars and cents for him. The 'Chasing Greatness Fund' is about making a 'Financially Powerful' PAFC. That's what it says on the sticker - not winning a flag (i.e. premiership fund), literally about being monied. Just like any small business is about feet through the door, building a customer base etc. And frankly, Kochie has been pretty good about running a regieme that achievd this. Problem is, a football club - or any pro sport entity - is about winning the final game of the season.
If Kochie runs the admin like a small business that is out to get in the black, KH-Davies have been allowed to run the footy side like a family business: internal promotions, looking after our own, closing ranks when the pressure is on to keep those internal values together. Problem is, family businesses that are successful know which family members to keep and which to release into the wild.
I get the sentiment that we're being run by a dictator, and it's not far from the mark given we can't elect a board as members, but in reality, we're actually run by inept hacks with too much power, too much tenure, and not enough spine to make the necessary calls when they need to be made.
For old-school fans (that doesn't just mean pre-97 btw) it's a depressing state of affairs.
Imagine Ken being dropped into Greece.

With the AFL media a shill entity, all that was left to oppose the continued mediocrity of the club was the lifeblood and life force, that is, the supporters. As far as I know, it is particularly rare for a sports team to come out and have a go at their fans. Fair enough if they are being violent or horrible or racist or sexist or homophobic but the issue of the club with its fans is that the fans want success and the people in charge do not have the capacity or want to give it.
Most of the other aspects you've mentioned which I agree with are definitely small business oriented but also fall under the nature of fascism as well.
What's this cheese in my toastie its like rubber.Imagine Ken being dropped into Greece.
In my experience, there is a lot of small business owners are petty tyrants.
Not real cheese like kraft singles!What's this cheese in my toastie its like rubber.

David Koch to a t. You see how he speaks about us, can you imagine what he'd be like inside the club?
There are not a lot of people on this site who have worked with him personally who have anything good to say about the bloke.David Koch to a t. You see how he speaks about us, can you imagine what he'd be like inside the club?

I've heard that Koch is actually quite self aware around his lack of football knowledge/experience and leans heavily on others when it comes to football matters. He's far from the biggest problem at the club.

Who has he put in place to lean on, though? Who we hire is on him and he's very quickly shut down any opinion that doesn't fit with the groupthink he's fostered.
