Roast Sack Koch - Chairman of The Redeem Team

[Marmozet]

Onya Benny. I know he was always highly regarded by those who dealt with him and not sure why he left the club, I wonder if he was another that either left because of the current admin, or got pushed out.

He got a very good offer from the Adelaide 36ers.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Imagine a club being so out of touch that they sent out an email today promoting corporate services that says we have "the best game day experience".

"Game Day Experience" obviously doesn't include winning games of football.

I DON'T CARE

Even when winning, the "game day experience" sucks ass. Back in 2014, under the lights of the brand new Adelaide Oval and with the place heaving, yes, it was pretty bloody special. But the club has spent the better part of the past decade dining out on the kudos it received over it's matchday stuff and it jumped the freakin' shark years ago. It's actually bloody nauseating now, with NOVA style DJ's screaming at you, and the 120 minute rolling KFC ad turned up to eleven and damaging your brain cells. I was completely over it before all this Hinkley shit really hit the fan.

Classic Koch move. Pitch what was an authentic connection with fans to potential sponsors like KFC as a selling point for advertising.

When I got those surveys asking "What can we do to improve your game day experience?" I'd always answer "just win farken!"

lol, being the #1 ticket holder was an advantage for Koch, not a benefit for the club. Koch was a freeloader.

 

[Doctor Feel]

The KFC ads really need to stop.

Which means you find everything else about the GameDay experience perfect already

When it is all said and done, Koch will be remembered for hitching his wagon to a country bumpkin senior coach who he kept employed so long as to hold the record for the most amount of games coached at a single club (in one term) without making a grand final.

No winning, no trophies, continuously underdelivering on expectations, a decade plus of "professional bullshitting," and countless gaffes such as the Farris Brothers round 2, 2015 and the infamous throwing of the tea over the balcony in China.

When people ask about David Koch and Port Adelaide many decades from now, history will remember him in a simple sentence: the man in charge of Port Adelaide when it temporarily lost its way. That's his legacy - absolute futility.

 

[gbear]

The media are obviously going to have a field day with this. I wonder if Koch thought he could just dismiss Tredders as bitter, pull out the 'many other legends of the club' line and have the whole thing go away. Looking at the amount of support Tredders is getting and knowing he's up for the fight, Koch may have got more than he bargained for.

I am actually waiting for anyone one other than Kane actually speak out.

 

[Steve Dore]

... the Farris Brothers round 2, 2015 ...

For me this was the lightbulb moment when it became clear that being the chairman of the PAFC was just a vanity project for Koch. It's all about him.

He'll always be a point of reference for the successful times like 65-77.

They will look back and remember how even though Koch led the club totally astray they recovered and won flags again.

Koch and ken shouldn't wear the prison bars.

 

[dirty2]

Want to win supporters back?

The first step is very simple. Sack Hinkley.

Second step quit

 

[Rageaholic]

Has this post turtle been sacked yet?

 

[dirty2]

We need to become a membership run club again to stop this from ever happening again.

 

[philreich]

Koch is a creature of traditional legacy media (network TV stations, radio, newspapers). It doesn't matter anymore if traditional media doesn't give Tredders a platform. They can't make him go away.

The goalposts have changed now with the internet (podcasts, social media). Tredders can't be silenced, and for that we should be grateful.

He's on 5AA every Monday and Friday, and this issue will be front and centre every time, until there's a resolution. Koch can't make it go away - like a snowball rolling down a hill, it's gathering size and momentum rapidly.

 

[raptalia]

In the meantime it would be nice to have more public support for Tredders. Warren has started the ball rolling and attracted the attention of the media we need something to maintain the momentum. I guess a string of losses would help but the true believer in me does not want to see that.
