First time for everything I guess, wish it wasn't this he was right on.

The point about Choco was very well made. Tredders knew Choco had his back but equally was never quite sure when Choco might challenge him on something. This is the perfect relationship between coach and player. Contrast this to the gigantic red flag that is Hinkley being a Daddy to all the players. It's all just mateship and connection, it bears no resemblance at all to a high performance organisation in a cut throat industry.
The Argo's made it on radio.

On his podcast, Tredrea responded to the latest (and probably not the last) choke by Ken Hinkley’s Port Adelaide and the Port champion’s response was withering.
- “We’ve done what every Port fan though could happen but hoped wouldn’t happen.”
- “People can say “Port got close” or “they had opportunities”. Yeah, you did. Port did. But in the second quarter Port conceded five goals in a row and GWS kicked 7 points in a row. So Port should have been 10 goals down at half time. That’s the bit that has me struggling: we didn’t put our best foot forward. We stuffed up selection. You can’t take too many injured players into finals. You have to take some risks and some players are all carrying niggles at this time of year, but when you have a key defender in McKenzie who is coming off an ankle injury into a knee injury into re-injuring an ankle injury, you’ve got Dixon who hasn’t played for 7 weeks, you’ve got Marhsall who is carrying an injury and is out of form, you’ve got Alier carrying a knee injury which happened only seven days earlier in the lead-up to the Brisbane game, Finlayson is out of form and Ollie Wines well below his best.”
- “You know what? I was disgusted in seeing this. This is the same coach who said “it’s a bit scary playing finals”. No, it’s not. It’s daunting, it’s exciting, it’s nervous. Footballers are competitors. You don’t get scared of a competition. You’re apprehensive. You WANT to take it on.”
- “Why couldn’t we have played one of the young guns in Mead or Evans or Fantasia … oh, he’s not so young. Or Williams, who apparently didn’t have a hamstring injury – but did – in Brisbane. What Ken is effectively saying is that those blokes aren’t up to standard. Well, you know what, what does that say for your development? What does that say about blaming others for your poor decision? I’m just sick of the blame. I want to see someone who jumps on the front foot and is positive and not talk about how good the opposition is.”
- “This is the third final in a row where we haven’t showed up.”
- “The defensive issues have been there all year and we haven’t been able to fix it.”
- “Let’s go through some off-field own goals? Oppenheimer – that was a really good one, wasn’t it?”
- “The business plan of trying to win three flags in five years? Well, that’s now over.”
- ”Kochie’s quote that Ken’s our most successful quote in an AFL era? Clearly, he doesn’t understand how Port Adelaide is built. It’s about premierships and he has a better rate than Mark Williams … he (Kochie) certainly doesn’t understand what Port Adelaide is about.”
- ”I bet no one knows how many Top 8 teams they beat in that time (the 13-game winning streak). 3: Melbourne, Sydney and St Kilda.”

An REHkingball phone call in to Tredders and co. RussellEbertHandball goes bang
The club plastering it's social media sites after the contract extension with photos of Hinkley hugging the players accompanied with words like "He loves his players, he loves the club" was just straight up putrid, and shows they knew the only currency the decision had was this laughable relationship he supposedly has with his players.
And that relationship exists because he has no expectations of them. Who wouldn't love a boss who pays you $500k+ for doing something you love with no performance standards?

How right you are. This chronic shyte behaviour has to be called out very loudly.
And don’t forget the greyhound syndicate / clique.
It all comes under corporate governance. Yes, you know: corporate governance … the thing we don’t have.

I was also impressed with how KT handled the John McCarthy tragedy. He handled all the media very professionally and compassionately. He was very protective of the players and other staff and made sure they were given time and privacy to deal with it as a group. I had a lot of respect for him during that time.
How annoying was that time wasting idiot wanting to go tit for tat with Rowie? Just wasting airtime during one of the most (hopefully) consequential segments of sports radio iv heard in my life.
Tredders is a Port Adelaide Legend.
REH is a Port Adelaide Legend.

'Warren Tredrea is a human trafficker' is one of the more interesting memes to emerge on this board.

Got a good chuckle out of him saying on 5AA - "how many of these board members they are appointing (with this new one) do you think did the 'training' and 'learning about the club' that they suggested I do?"
Did lol
Then Rowe said "none, its just because they are scared of you. They dont want you tredders!" And he laughed and said something along the lines of "yeah I think im understanding that now."

Thanks Warren. Thanks Nick/REH and others.
Really like how the focus is on governance. So many issues not just an average coach making average decisions.
Given the absolute lack of power we have as members the momentum and driving of change right now needs to come through media and ex players I think. The gaslighting and deliberate demonizing of those with legitimate concerns means rallies etc currently won't work.
I would ask those ex players, ex officials etc that are concerned about the club to take a risk. Speak up. Do it now before it is too late . Enough of your voices builds momentum that won't be stopped and will then translate into actions.
Heads need to roll. Responsibility needs to be taken. The members are angry and have no voice. The club have been told but will not listen.
I genuinely fear for my club. I stand ready to help but those with a voice need to use it right now.

Media are ineffectual at the moment as there isn't enough individuals out there that are overly critical.
Kochie has got media under control from the point of keeping our club attractive to corporate interests.
The movement must come from ex-players and officials as they carry more weight in any political statement.
The last resort is membership cancellations which hurts the club financially. It's the wrong way to go as it extends the term of AFL control which we are all hating most.
