Unofficial Preview Sack Hinkley 2: Septic Portaloo

[Lagooner]

Name a totalitarian regime that does?

Well you can’t say we haven’t learned anything from the China initiative.

 

[Steve Dore]

So what's the problem.? They do not like being informed of the truth or something.

Ports "we always listen to our members*"



* except when they highlight inconvenient truths

 

[Ilias M]

Love how now defenders of ken saying no player has left due to ken

 

[tribey]

“I'm Port but I'm happy, I like goals but we kick behinds
Daily gallons of Zero but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm 10th but I've tenure, I'm sane despite Shaun Hart’s seeds
I'm lost but I’m still here, baby
What it all comes down to
Is that my Super’s gonna be fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got Sam Gray in the pocket
And the other one is turning forty-five”

 

[Alyx]

I wasn't sure where to share this, but We Were Port Adelaide has been banned from the club's Facebook page...

 

[tribey]

Particularly when last year’s membership mailer proudly boasted, “you hold us to account ... and we wouldn’t have it any other way”, or similar.

More p¡ss and wind.

Fishing Rick. Here is your primary question to Matthew Richardson. WHY!!

Who made the decision?

Why is the Club so afraid of members expressing their dissatisfaction as to the direction of the Port Adelaide Football Club.?

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

”its the vibe of the thing”

 

[Enviable Tradition]

This club needs to HTFU all over.

It used to thrive on the harshest of reviews from both external and internal.

We demanded excellence and held everyone to incredibly high standards unapologetically and vocally.

This is a big part of the problem. Everyone knows extending his contract in 2017 was a big mistake, none more than the people responsible for doing it. Now all of them are locked into survival mode and doubling down on their mistake, which only compounds the problems.

Compare and contrast the current President and CEO with their predecessors, who identified major systematic problems with the club's position, stuck their necks out and ultimately lost their jobs for the cause.

This is disgraceful these deluded buffoons cant handle the truth.

[Us against the rest]

We need to get our club back and we can start by,

SACKING HINKLEY.

 

[VineValerian]

Members and supporters used to be the heart and soul of this once great club.

We felt a sense of buy-in and, dare I say it, ownership.

The club was a part of our DNA.

We felt that it was our sworn duty to be passionate, honest and unrelenting in demanding excellence in lieu of mediocrity, of success in lieu of mid-level bumbling along, of unwavering courage and resilience in lieu of risk averse concrete feet.

Now we have censorship, Portspeak babble, ignoring and demeaning publicly the true believers, mixed messages, plagiarising other organisations, a lack of honesty and integrity - and the associated crud in terms of on field percormance that this breeds.

The icons of the past implored those who represented the PAFC to attend to all the seemingly inconsequential issues - the so called "one percenters" and sacrificial duties, knowing that sucess would ultimately follow.

Now we have an organisation that pays lip service to the finer details of everything. Clearly under the belief that it is all too hard to do anymore, and that it won't make any difference. The sad truth is that it does all mount up, and it does all make a difference.

And look where we now sit!!!!!!

The club needs to get back to caring about little things once more. It needs to be an organisation, from Chairman down to bar attendents and bootstudders, that aims for perfection, honesty and accepting the truth of matters again.

Only then will we become truly great once again.

What was the comment?

 

[Us against the rest]

What the club need to remember is, most of us supporters were here well before Hinkley, Koch, KT and the board.

We were here from the beginning, have to wait from 1990 to 1997 because of the pathetic sanfl, then through the dark days. The club then has the cheek to indicate that we are selfish supporters.

They can go and stick their heads where the sun don't shine as far as I'm concerned.

The Crows had the guts to make the call, it's about time our club follwed suit, sack the bloody lot of them, they are incompetent morons.

 

[Ilias M]

The gift that keeps giving the whole club has lost the plot

What was the comment?

Rick, it refers to Alyx's post that his WE WERE PORT ADELAIDE has been banned from the PAFC Facebook.

Sorry, I don't know how to include it here as I've run out of IT skill but his post is about 16 above.

 

[Alyx]

What was the comment?

And the comment in question:

Can you blame our members and supporters for their wary, if not deflated reactions to this news?

Last December, the club provided Dougal Howard with a contract extension until the end of 2022. The day it was announced, he was rolled out to front the media, where he proudly declared his love of playing for Port Adelaide.

Then, in May of this year, Ken Hinkley described Howard as an "emerging leader of our football club" after selecting him as a stand-in captain for our AFL side. His future at this club appeared both bright and secure.

Fast forward to today, however, and Howard has requested to be traded to St Kilda. He was allegedly informed that it would be in his "best interest" to "go and have a look elsewhere" by our list manager. The club did not deny this version of events - detailed by Howard's manager on Trade Radio - in the late-evening statement it issued after receiving backlash from the Port Adelaide community.

It is a sorry state of affairs when people can no longer trust their football club - but it demonstrates just how far ours has fallen under the current administration.
