Roast Where are you Richo?

[OnTheWagon]

Keep hammering the bastards. If KT thought 2019 was the year of the deafening roar or whatever the f he said, well that ain't a patch on what they should cop now. Just such a stupid stupid decision. Everyone could see this coming. Only good thing was it was easy money from sportsbet.

I wasn’t going to bother to contact him this time, but that shoulder shrug of a communique was the epitome of a red rag.

It could've just read:

Hi

Meh

See you at Alberton for the AFLW

 

[JayPea14]

Imagine being in a position where the CEO's email to members after a straight sets exit was about not renewing Ken's contract, saying thanks for your service and announcing a hand over to Josh Carr as a part of a planned transition, instead of a "whoops! sorry " boilerplate with some [insert some good things here] listed to soften the blow.

clenching intensifies

I haven't seen a bigger divide between the fans and the club/Kens media racket since he's been at the club.

They are in overdrive on the airwaves and in the papers, yet every fan I speak to Port or otherwise can't believe we re-signed him.

F*** it, let's hammer the W***** with emails.

It's worse than that. It's a huge divide., not only between the club and fans, but between different fan factions. Never has this club as a whole been less united.

Never Tear Us Apart, indeed.

 

[TeeKray]

That email is atrocious. A series of poorly written dot point that offer nothing, followed by 3 (THREE) paragraphs on the AFLW, which i personally don't give the slightest f**k about.

They should talk about the AFLW as much as they possibly can because it's the only part of the club that is respectable and functions professionally and in a way that resembles a high performance sporting team.

Shocking email from Richardson. 'We own it'.

Where? How?

Not in the immediate but their collective legacy will be poo.

 

[gbear]

The email has arrived....

I saw it and I just deleted. From what I heard it is just a cut and paste document that could have been prepared by a 5 year old! **** off Richardson you campaigner.

 

[gbear]

The email itself isn't the problem.

It's the fact that it's the fourth one he's sent since he stepped into the role, and that saying something like "there are no excuses" when clearly there are because no one is ever held accountable, makes him look like an administrative robot spewing out false platitudes to quell the masses.

May as well sign it off with "thoughts and prayers".

Or see all you mushrooms next year.

Might be due to the fact it is run by a female cohort.

Where? How?

We own it = "Let us never speak of this again".

Hopeless.

Where? How?

What they SHOULD be owning is that the real weak link here is the senior coach, but they can't come out and publicly admit that fact, as they'd be forced to utter those awful words, "WE WERE WRONG." I don't reckon Koch, Hinkley or Richardson have said that since they've been at the club, and they're not about to start now.

 

[El_Scorcho]

It's hard to write an email to placate the fanbase when he knows and every single person reading it knows that he should stand down.

But he hasn't even talked about accountability or making hard decisions. They don't even pretend they will.

 

[Doctor Feel]

It is pretty interesting that absolutely no one I know in Adelaide who is a Port fan wants Hinkley, and wanted him gone several seasons ago at minimum.

Who are these people that post YAY DADDY on the clubs socials other than bots? Crazy recluses and human refuse? Honestly.

 

[backtozero]

It must be nice answering to absolutely nobody.

A subset of Boomers, who my current theory is that they experienced so much success in their formative years that their brains are hard wired to accept anything the Port Adelaide Football Club says regardless of how increasingly ridiculous it gets.

 

[manureid]

A lot of people that didn't follow football until the What a spectacle, the Portress, NTUA are now the ones posting basically just happy to be a part of it. They are the ones the club now cater to. Which is why they are happy with just being competitive occasionally as it keeps those types entertained just enough.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Just a shiver looking for a spine.

Our forward line is a conga line of suckholes.

 

[Duck Farmer]

You can get rid of Richo's PA having to draft his emails by typing "vanillarisation of Port Adelaide" into ChatGPT.

 

[Rageaholic]

Richo isn't even good enough to be called a white ant. White ant's form colonies, build things. What exactly, does he do? I've never actually seen or heard him to do anything of substance. He's not a white ant's a**hole.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Thank you for owning it. Your resignation is accepted.
