Toast Warren Tredrea - Elected to the Port Board (Football discussion only)

[TazD]

This whole thread should be bookmarked, and returned to at seasons end, to see what difference one person on the board made to the results for the season - and if we ****ed up finals again.

And also so we can see what tangibles actually changed with Tredders (or Abba) on the board to ANYTHING to do with the club - on or off the field.

The white knight syndrome has grabbed most of you by the balls and will not let go.
Baffling.

You are ****ing boring.

You are ******* boring.

Then **** off and go watch TV instead of engaging.
You don't have to be here peanut.

Maybe give it, say 11 years before determining any impact

The irony.

 

[PatientMental]

I'm just here voting for warren in the hope he scares a few off the board and converts a few to be tin hat men.

It can't be worse than the circlejerk of mediocrity we are stuck with.

 

[silverfingers]

Voting for warren is voting for change.

You're a pratt.

That is your opinion flog.

You're awfully engaged on here for someone who thinks neither candidate will actually make any significant difference.

If that is truly what you think, do us all a favour and piss off.

I don't believe anyone genuinely sees Tredrea as a white knight. Our board clearly lacks someone with experience in what it takes to be a successful professional sporting organisation. Hopefully input from Tredrea will enable some of our more reasonable board members to better understand the impact of decisions on the football program and ultimately the on field success of the club.

There we go...a reasonable, well-thought out response, free from personal insults and anger. Thank you.

I'm as interested as anyone in what will happen in the election, and more importantly during season 2024.

It's Silverfingers.

Is that the name of the creepy post match celebration finger thing Ken did?

I’m all in on Tredders, but he was wrong to pull Burton up on voicing his public opinion even when it’s his GFs old man he’s endorsing. When did people become so bloody insecure about alternative ideas & opinions? Who gives a flying **** if those views are in polar opposite to popular mainstream beliefs.

Some of the greatest leaders and breakthroughs in science came from those who stood in the minority.

No wonder the club has a weak backbone & is stumbling between a pendulum of mediocrity & staleness. We might as well change our name to the Port Adelaide Eunuchs which would be far more fitting.

You need to understand how much the club has pressured candidates to not campaign, who put Burton up to it and who at the club approved it to be really able to understand why.

There's a thing called impartiality.

Important especially when you're an employee

It's just such a terrible look to end up with board members that players and staff have spoken out publicly against.

This is what the new club directive opens the door for and it is hopelessly unprofessional.

The level of cronyism and nepotism that has negatively affected the club over the last decade needs to either be stamped out or severely scrutinised

We are owned now wholly owned by the AFL boys club. It is no surprise that their MO is passed down to their departments.

The club came out today and said they don't have an issue with anyone at the club voicing their support for either candidate.

That should put the matter to bed.
They don't care, it has zero impact on the voting (or result), so why do so many here keep complaining about it.

Because it us terrible governance that it seems you are a party to.

Nice strawman. How about we come back to it when Koch, Ken, Chris and Matt are gone and Tredders remains the link to remember what we once were.

lol the club says its ok so it must be ok, is that you david?

 

[Sewer de Lance]

I don’t think anyone believes Tredders is the great ‘White Knight’ who will single handedly rescue the PAFC out of its current self inflicted malaise. But what he will do is be a dissenting voice against the echo chamber of verbal diarrhoea that emanates out of Koch’s mouth on a regular basis.

Oh yeah man, one person can't change a thing. There are absolutely no examples of this across history. It has never happened like ever. No precedents to talk to at all! No one crossed the Rubicon, no one started women's suffrage, and certainly no one invented anything ever. In fact, Bruce Weber, Greg Boulton et al. did **** all because, "lol they are one person what can they possibly do?"

You absolutely reek of fear and ignorance. I'd love to know whose bum you sniff at the PAFC.

Sheedy started women's sufferage I think.

Tredders has already proven he can be the start of something big.

I believe his online pseudonym is 'Q'.
