There was a question asked to Jack Lukosuis about how good the facilities were and Jack just said all you really need is a weights room, a pool and a couple of showers and it was at the time that he hadn't been told to talk up the Performance Centre or whatever it is called but I like that he saw it simply and answered that way.Yes it does. You got these new recruits at talking footy saying that they "didn't know anything about the club" and "they can't wait to play in the prison bars" all in the one interview. It's Norton's legacy.
I worked for a number of companies over a number of industries during my working life and they all had a number of people on their boards that had good knowledge and understanding of the core business. We don't seem to have that at Port. The AFL appointed board members are accountants, financial people and a distruptor. The only professional sporting knowledge on the board comes from the two member elected board members and that experience has doubled since Tredrea was elected, despite Koch's opposition, in February.Genuine question: what is the point of this (marginal) financial gain if it is not being used to properly fund the football department?
At the moment, we are a social club with a couple of football teams tacked on. You get the impression this board would get rid of them too if they could get away with it.
Credit where credit is due, Hinkley was good for us in 2013/14 but 2015 showed he'd reach his ceiling and I've been calling for him the sacked since 2016. He should have been gone at the end of 2017 when he asked to be released from his contract and his replacement probably wouldn't have been any less successful.The most annoying thing about this whole era is Ken would've been fine as a right the ship guy until the stage was set for a real coach to take it to the mountain top, obviously we've gone past that mark and beyond to an excruciating amount of time.
You never get that time back man it's probably cost two genuine flag tilts maybe more.
Even Moses didn't make it to the promised land after wandering aimlessly in the desert for 40 years. We need to go easy on Ken.The most annoying thing about this whole era is Ken would've been fine as a right the ship guy until the stage was set for a real coach to take it to the mountain top
To be fair Moses annihilated the Amalekites, Hinkley only annihilates greyhounds.Even Moses didn't make it to the promised land after wandering aimlessly in the desert for 40 years. We need to go easy on Ken.
It can't get worse than a club and its supporters openly despising each other.I thought “surely they can never do worse than this, right?” after the 2021 PF. Since then we missed finals one year, went straight sets in another and lost by more than 2021 in a home QF this year. Each time I thought “surely we’re done with him” each time, and yet he’s still here. Even now I’m thinking “how do we get worse” but it’d be so foolish of me to think it won’t happen again, as difficult as it is to imagine a worse spot we could be in.
