A West Coast plant on the Carlton (BigFooty) board????

 

[RossFC]

You got that right

 

[Thunderer]

Someone explain to me why the media are going all in on sacking Rutten and getting Clarkson to Essendon while for Ken, they defend the s**t out of him

Because don’t you remember, before time started in 2012, Ken Hinkley descended from the heavens and said:

“Let there be Port Adelaide Football Club,” and there was Port Adelaide Football Club, and it was good.

Then he said: “Let there be Adelaide Oval,” and there was Adelaide Oval, and it was good.

He then went to the banks of the Torrens and moulded football players out of clay, and he breathed life into them and there was Boak, Gray, Westhoff, Wingard, Wines, Jake Neede and the rest of the players in his own image. Some did not please him and they were later banished.

“Thou shalt go forward and work hardery for longery, but thou shall not taste the sweet nectar of Premiership, because football is hard and somebody’s gotta lose.”

He then commanded: “I shall be coach in all perpetuity, ‘till the end of times.”

So it was said, so Koch made it happen.

Don’t you remember?

What else would you be suggesting to try and have input into change into our club? Carrier pigeon to the Hinkley household? Sorry it got put down due to poor performance.

He doesn’t as he is a troll and a Ken fan. The guy is not a port supporter just a troll.

 

[David Puddy]

Kochie isn't clever enough to hatch a scheme like this.

Why did Clarkson have to yell at me like that!?

 

[Macca19]

Id rather we bring “We Love You Robbie” banners

You're funny. A few things: Absolutely loved Scooby Doo growing up (especially the episodes with the Harlem Globetrotters), Holly Ransom lol, I look forward to your posts with trepidation at times.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

I think todays board meeting will be to discuss a contingency plan if Ken does end up at North. I’ve got no faith in the current administration & would much prefer a GOT ‘Red Wedding’ scenario, but you would hope the powers that be would move quickly to remove any uncertainty.

 

[rogerjames]

All reports suggest Robbie wasn’t a Ken fan anyway. He led an initiative earlier in the year asking for something to change (after 0-5)

He also mentioned he's grateful for the personal support Port supporters have given him. I read a fair bit into that statement given other statements by players.

 

[rogerjames]

Wave your little signs loud and proud ladies.

I look forward to years and years of memes with your pretty faces on them...

Such a pathetically sexist comment

Such a pathetically sexist comment

It is indeed but I probably have bigger balls than Dutchy and that is saying something

Yeah I know. Begs the question as to why it was removed.

 

[philreich]

If the bombers jag Clarkson now at the eleventh hour, Norf will definitely be having a chat to Hinkley (they aren't risking a rookie coach) - he is exactly what they need.

Lol that game yesterday may just be the butterfly effect that turns everything on its head

LOL Polec and Pittard be like, "I came to North to get away from Hinkley - I'm outa here!!!"

Well lets take a look at human history and see what's never worked......

Signs? Achieve absolutely nothing beyond providing memes
Petitions and polls? See above minus the memes
Drop memberships and stop going to games? Financially f**ks the club ends up with the same morons asking why the club has so much debt
Facebook groups? Yep, nothing again

But hey, maybe this time, right?

I think you need a new history book.

These are examples from just the past 10 years! And if you think members of the club have less of a voice than black americans....you're kidding yourself.

So your suggestion is do nothing?

Nah…

So Schofield left because of Doughnuts
Why did Lade leave seems loved at our clubs

Same reason from all reports.

Outer wing on the fence, I'm in a pretty good position for getting on TV

The perfect position for when the long ball to Dixon 3 on 1 70 from goal on the boundary gets punched over for another throw in.

Speaking to Horne Francis' parents according to the North board

On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Then north fans are idiots.

It would be absolutely bizarre for a coach, who by all reports and his own managers admittance has not made a definite decision about which club to join much less put pen to paper, to travel interstate to visit a potential players parents..

Just think about how insane that would be to do.

What would the circumstances have to be for a potential coach to want to travel to speak to a players parents before he signs a contract as head coach?

What would he be there to say to jhfs parents?

 

[finbarr]

Clarkson probably here to talk turkey with the crows.
