Roast Sack Koch - Chairman of The Redeem Team

[sobrave]

Look youse can't expect Hinkley to perform under the pressure of it being a contract year! Accordingly he has been extended until 2032 so we can make him a 20 year coach

It needs to be put to him at the AGM that he's presiding over the clearcut worst period in club history and that the Koch era will be a depressing footnote in the history of this club. If he doesn't care about how the club performs, maybe he cares about his own legacy?

White noise from some bastard supporters has no effect on Koch's ego.

Somehow we need one of the influential AFL reporters to ask Koch that. It obviously won't happen though.

Agree with all the above except Ken’s hide.

The guy’s skin is thinner than rice paper rolls.

We never saw it early days, because he was never challenged, but from the 2017 EF onwards the guy has absolutely bristled at any semblance of criticism directed his way.

Which is why he requires so much protection from the club and is hidden from the public eye for long periods.

The guy’s ultra-sensitivity to criticism came to a head with the pressure of 2024, which is why we saw his completely erratic behaviour - tears, jumping around like a goose after regulation H&A wins, weird pressers, the Ginnivan incident.

Which is why Sack Hinkley signs and booing at home games need to be the norm in 2025, rather than the exception. If Ken is relentlessly bombarded with negativity, he might finally crack and step down.

If it happens, I have zero sympathy.

Sure he's been enabled by weakness above him, but he obviously has absolutely no self awareness either.

Remember when there was a massive rumour in 2012 that Kevin Foley was hotly tipped to take over the leadership of Port and everyone was losing their minds saying that he would destroy the club?

Less Port and More Power? - The Black And White Noise

Remember in 2012 when Kevin Foley wanted to make the Port Adelaide Football Club “less Port and more Power” and wanted to “stare down those who want us to remain the club from the Port with the Magpies tradition”. In the midst of rising debt, spiralling off field performances and talks of a relocation to Tasmania many thought this “Southern Power” approach was the only way to save the club.

Instead the club pivoted in the other direction. Embracing it’s Magpies heritage, having reunited with the Magpies, and re-engaging it’s loyal fanbase by referencing it’s famous history and even its (some would say divisive) Creed.

But 12 years later has the Port Adelaide Football Club become the Southern Power by stealth?"

Southern Power by stealth, not fanfare.

Yep pretty much

Port has become a parody of itself really

Koch has vanillarised the club so much we might as well be crows lite, or "southern power"

Everything Port Adelaide stood for has just about been washed away by Koch and crew

Port Adelaide by name. Southern Power by nature
