Introduction

I thought We Were Port Adelaide could do with its own dedicated thread. Most of you already understand the purpose of this account, but I will update this post with a proper introduction at a later date.

Researching and creating content for We Were Port Adelaide can be time consuming, so I invite you to contribute your own facts, statistics, and quotes below. I can't guarantee that every contribution will feature on the account, but they will be very helpful.

Quotes

Many of you have privately communicated your concerns over the years - by email, phone, or social media - but believe the club hasn't listened to you or simply doesn't care. This is your opportunity to have them noticed, and to show that We Were Port Adelaide represents more than one disgruntled supporter, by having them turned into a graphic and shared through We Were Port Adelaide.

If you do not feel comfortable contributing your story publicly in this thread, you are welcome to private message me. To ensure they are not dismissed, I will require - at minimum - a first name and a surname initial for which to attribute them.

Best way to do that is for him to just leave this board and never post again. Worst poster ever and adds absolutely nothing of any value.

My take, the club nows best and the now what they are doing not some hero's on the internet. You have short memories, back the club, Hinkley still there Pyke is not. Gess that makes me a Happy Clapper.

[Enviable Tradition]

Surely Cripps' quote that "enternal people, including supporters and members'gets a run.

It could be combined with facts about traditions lost and member powers lost.

I.e. prison bars, #1, after match access to players and officials, access to financials, voting rights, juniors, recruiting zones, SANFL distributions, SANFL voting rights etc. etc.

No worries! I will see if I can hunt down a copy, because it sounds pretty damning.

Port Adelaide hits out at ‘external’ criticism over trades, happy to go to the draft

Port Adelaide list manager Jason Cripps has hit out at “external’’ criticism over trades and says the Power is happy to go to the draft for the club’s long-term gain as Sam Gray’s AFL future is clouded.

... (Kane) Cornes slammed Port’s decision to offload the contracted Howard “in his absolute prime’’, saying it had “absolutely botched this and been stitched up’’, declaring the 23-year-old could be a future All-Australian.
But Cripps hit back, saying the Power had plenty of tall players and wanted to access a second first round draft selection to continue to build its list.
“We wanted a first-round pick for Dougal, which we were able to get,’’ he said.
“We decided as a club that if we could get a first rounder for Dougal in terms of someone who potentially wasn’t in our best 22 going forward — we think we’ve got a lot of talls on our list who can play at either end — then we were happy to take it into a draft that’s pretty even.
“External people, including our supporters and members, don’t have all the information that we do.
“We need to be aggressive with some of the decisions we make and we are backing that in, that we are making the best decisions for the club long term.’’

Noted Cripps said, quote, "We as a Club" unquote.

Precisely, who are the 'we' Mr Cripps?

Certainly it's possible to guess but it would be nice to know as it shouldn't be a secret.

‘We ... as a Club’ obviously excludes the ‘external’ masses such as ‘supporters and members’ as Cripps calls us.

Hinkley at the B&F called us ‘members and fans’ then went on to point out that he was ‘still standing’ and that he didn’t care, presumably about anything except the fact he was still standing.

Hinkley also said he had been ‘Last Man Standing’ when coming to the Club as Senior Coach (minus fronting a selection panel at any stage). He was wrong. Others such as Rowe called him Last Man Standing, which Hinkley shot down by calling himself Right Man Standing.

In his B&F presentation in an act of accidental honesty he at no stage called himself Right Man Standing.

 

[Sleezy]

Hinkley is Homer
Keith is Chief Wiggum
Kochie is Ned Flanders

The Club is Milhouse.

The supporters are football in the groin guy.

Also Koch is definitely Hutz.

My av begs to differ.

Doing great work.

It's sad that's it's come to this.

Got to wonder what his carry on was about just a couple rounds prior to end of season 2019. We could've finished 7th at best...what's his definition of limping?

So when do you shut your Facebook, Twitter, and forum thread down? Is it after you've had the coach sacked? Or would you also like the CEO and Chairman sacked? And then what if they don't replace them with people you're happy with do you just keep your page going and keep making memes and bagging list choices and draft picks? And how much money exactly would you like the club to lose in lost memberships? And how much time wasted on spreading your misery? Just interested at what point this all stops and you get back to supporting your club? Genuine question. I can't see how this ends well for anyone.
