Dear god the last thing this sport needs is David Koch anywhere, ever.

Great for us if he goes. Then Tredders for Prez.
He then will turn the AFL into nerdy fun puff pieces and not elite sports performance.
But AFL will become carbon neutral.

See im not so sure. You take him from where he can damage port to somewhere he can damage everyone including port and the last shreds of fabric of the game.

He will be accountable to the other clubs and if he ****s up they will get rid of him, unlike at Port where nobody can remove him.
Anyway the executives have the real power not the commission, unless the clubs take it back.
And that's what the clubs have been rumbling about. They had or are having a meeting without any AFL executives or commissioners attending, this week, maybe it was today and why the story broke.
And that might be what the clubs are after from him, put in someone who uses his media profile to claw back power from the executives for the clubs, then maybe get rid of him, when the job is done

The AFL appoint our chairman so if Koch is on the AFL commission there is no way Tredrea is getting anywhere near our board let alone chairman.

The AFL don't appoint the chairman per se, the board elects someone and the chair has to maintain confidence of the board. The AFL rubber stamps it.
Kevin Osborn convinced Koch to take the position, Koch agreed and Osborn and a couple of other directors who weren't sacked in 2012, and KT took it to the AFL, who rubber stamped Koch being appointed as the new chair.
No doubt Koch will try and influence things, but Osborn will go once the redevelopment finishes. If Cardone and Restas go then you need to find 4 replacements + the 2 current vacancies. Tredders might not replace Koch straight away, but if he gets on and Snowdon and one or two other board members back him and form an alliance then the next person might only have a short tenure.
No way will Koch stop Port appointing a new chair who has backing of the majority of the board.
The issue is finding enough board members who will start rocking the boat. Christine Zeitz left because she tried and couldn't get any traction. With potentially 6, 7 if Tredders runs for the member elected position, new board members in the next say 18-24 months then things have the potential to change.

Former Sunrise host David Koch has called on regulators to “crack down” on social media platforms that have again run his image in posts to promote suspected scams.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Koch shared a doctored image of himself used by suspected scammers.
The photo showed Kochie with black eyes and a slumped look on his face.
The images were accompanied by a post that read, “This article has spread like wildfire today. Read the full story here.”
The post has a link and a fake headline that read “This is the dark truth behind the incident”.

Re reading the story I only just realised this is a Michael Warner story as is the one linked in the article and I put up the link below, about Goyder's problems at Qantas
There were plenty of AFL insiders who talked to Warner for his The Boys Club book, but were too scared to go public with their criticism, so no doubt he is talking to insiders who are pissed off with Goyder, Gil and others at the AFL for their slothfulness. Great use of the word torpor by Warner to describe taking more than 2 years and no replacements for 2 commissioners, Gil's replacement saga an extended long play retirement tour, the CBA still not finished when it ran out 31st October last year and the women don't have one yet, no further movement on Tassie stadium, the drawn out Hawthorn racism saga, etc.
Crisis engulfing Qantas under Richard Goyder’s chairmanship highlights desperate need for change at the AFL
Anyone searching for clues over the torpor that has engulfed AFL House should look no further than the crisis unfolding at Qantas and ask what or who is the common denominator?

I suggest anyone with Twitter keep @ing him asking why he's such a crook
That all makes perfect sense, until you get to the bit where Koch is touted as a replacement. That's the best option? Seriously?
"A desperate need for change". Yep, that sounds like us for the last 6 years, if only we could have had someone like Koch to effect it
Alan Joyce is at a loose end currently, but the ABC might nab him as Ita's successor before the AFL can.

Koch is every other clubs perfect replacement as he is a puppet. The AFL have been pulling his strings in the chair at the PAFC for years, and the clubs know that if they get him in, he can do their bidding against the AFL exec until a point he is no longer required.
