Holly Ransom gave Rozee a big hug in the rooms last week. No doubt they have been working together on developing leadership skills

Holly Ransom has zero credibility.

She has built a career talking pointless shit to audiences of amway salespeople who lack the ability to direct or motivate themselves. A snake oil saleswoman who by her continued presence on the PAFC board clearly doesnt practice what she preaches.

Yeah sure. Sits at a big table nodding her head to the dribble from chief buffoon Koch and career loser Ken Hinkley- whatever advice she'd suggest I'd do the exactly opposite.

How ironic that she can't see the obvious that the coach is a lightweight conman and the Chairman an idiot

Water seeks its own level I guess

She sold her soul to get into the corporate world. She’s just another professional b*llsh*ter.

She’s young, but I don’t think she’ll be able to turn things around.

she's 34. she's another with no functional skill other than spruiking to people who still watch TED talks

looks like she married herself.

 

[Doctor Feel]

lol i mean, is anyone surprised she's a lesbian? The club probably thought that is what qualified her to be involved in AFLW

Still reckon Rozee fcukin

 

[tribey]

Kochie in the rooms after the game hugging players lol.

**** off you clown.

Hinkley, Koch, Ransom, Cardone, Rozee, Rucci, Cornes.

As relatable as a gearstick to the perineum.

While certain cucks on Twitter pat each other on the back for how enlightened they are in accepting the alleged statistical inevitability of our failures.

It’s not hell, but you can toast a marshmallow from here.

The "I don't think now is the time" brigade is particularly funny given we've won 3 total quarters in our last 6 finals games.

was being lauded as numero uno.
Is it his record? Longmire has only won 50% of finals and 1 Premiership in 14 years.
Is it consistently competing? Is it building? Is it only winning premierships?
Hawks were incredible under Mitchell (coach of the year in my view),
McRae was a tad off but I think he is one of the very best coaches I’ve seen.
Season records are rarely emulated in September…..is that a consideration?
Hinkley has had a cracking list for a long time and can’t get past Prelims…..
can he coach or is he overseeing a very good list that is compromised by his leadership.
My view is yes. But the answers to all of these other questions are over to you.

With Hinkley in the cuck chair.

Disrupting the oppressive male patriarchy.

Except at the PAFC where pale, stale, and male is considered the pinnacle of stability.

 

[El_Scorcho]

It's a simple sunk cost fallacy problem.

We all know that the August 2023 contract extension was a huge mistake. Most of us knew it at the time, but every single Port Adelaide person knows it now. If Kochie has a crystal ball in August 2023 and can see the next 13 months, there is a 0% chance that Ken gets a contract extension.

Given that he shouldn't even have a contract, allowing him to coach out the last season of that contract is a clear and obvious sunk cost fallacy mistake. Make the logical choice and sack him.

That's one quarter against Sydney, one quarter against Hawthorn, two quarters against GWS, and a tied quarter against the Bulldogs. Four quarters won; one; tied 19 lost. Utterly pitiful.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

The club is a boy's club. Not enough people inside care enough about Port Adelaide. You have loudmouths like Kochie making fool out of himself and you got coaches like Ken who has at the helm for 12 years and no grand final appearances let alone flags. Missed chances in 2014 and 2020, 2021 and 2024 outplayed completely, 2017 out in extra-time to the West Coast who finished 8th and 2023 out in straight sets.

Taking a look at the coaching team, it doesn't really fill you with excitement or optimism about the club's future prospects.

Ken Hinkley: 12 years as head coach and has constantly employed the same tactics and gamestyle over and over again and never makes changes when it is not working in the hopes that it will break through. Keeps making the same excuses over and over again. We the supporters want to know the WHY it keeps happening and HOW it could be rectified instead of the old "we didn't turn up" or "we weren't hard enough for longer". These reasoning are piss poor.
Josh Carr: For all the talk about how he is going to succeed as the next head coach, his midfield constantly get exposed defensively and their refusal to run back when they don't have the ball. This has constantly been an issue and picked apart many times. Not to mention, they always go missing in finals. Why is that this midfield can't step up when winning a flag is on the line. The amount of times the mids allow the opposition to win stoppages and score is very concerning and alarming.
Chad Cornes: A hack of a forwards coach. Was average as forward, so WHY is he the forward coach? This idea that a key forward's role is to crash marks and provide a contest to bring the ball to the ground is just shit. The constant bombing the ball inside 50 is so predictable not to mention the entries are shallow and once the opposition rebounds, it generally leads into scores for the other team. Also for all the talk about this "so-called goal kicking program", it has done wonders with Port being the worst team at converting goals.
Tyson Goldsack: Shocking start as a defensive coach, I will give credit that adjustments were made and the defence looked significantly better but in the end, they got exposed in finals especially at ground balls in the D50 again and again.

I don't know the other coaches contributions enough but its looking like they have added nothing to the club.

The quicker the club employs those with no connection to Port and actually were competent in their playing days, the sooner Port will finally get some silverware cause it ain't happening with this lot.
