Port Adelaide 2018

[hawks21]

According to this list, you can do a lot and not get suspended!

Times change, what Jaensch allegedly did was rumored to be far worse than what SPP has been accused of but the AFL probably didn't have a department there just to deal with such matters nor a policy to do so.

The Crows took matters into their own hands before an investigation was undertaken i believe. Jaensch "retired" aka got sacked for that and ongoing issues.

The AFL must have some kind of evidence that suggest SPP did something inappropriate other than being drunk in a public place.
That or they are making an example of him. Remembering there are different people in charge now than when Martin etc had there indiscretions.

Kochie should have just said how disappointed they were etc etc and then taken it up with the AFL behind closed doors.

Jaensch one, Port suspended SPP for a game, as in it took matters into their own hands, the AFL still got involved.

If the club see's it that way, which is what Koch's comments suggest, then they should ask for an explanation.

Yeah SPP got a game for the being drunk part rather than the alleged inappropriate behaviour. That's my point, the AFL must have some other evidence to support an additional 2 games suspension. If not, then i'd expect an explanation as well but coming out and saying that the AFL 'railroaded a poor kid' etc isn't going to help that's for sure!

Apparently SPP has been offered a job with channel 7 in the interim doing up-dates.

You can be successful in life AND a moron.
Kochie is evidence of that.

He needs to shut his mouth occasionally.
He’s starting to get too big for his boots.

Moron = a stupid person. You've used the wrong noun here.

Yes, there are successful morons in the world, not sure many of them are financial analysts though.

[valleys07]

One of them is the President of the United States.

Making stupid comments like he has(over time) makes him stupid.

Nah I was right the first time.

Port supporters I know wish he’d shut up occasionally as well.

I can see the similarities between Trump and Kochie now you mentioned it!

Mike Smithson going hard for Channel 7. Wonder if he was told to do so?

I think he was just reacting to what Keith was saying. This is going to drag on even longer now.

Why did they send their most experienced reporter down there who doesn't cover footy? CH7 & PAFC relations at an all time low it sounds

[MW]

have you seen the vitriol and threats from Port supporters on twitter towards the reporter who broke the story?
I dare say Smitho was the last person to ask...

[Lightning McQueen]

First thing jumped in my stupid head too.

I was suprised how contradictory of Koch's statements some of Thomas's comments were.
He seems to be on a completely different page to Koch.
I feel sorry for him being caught between Koch and the media, he did very well to maintain his cool but the poor bloke looked haggard. I'd hate to see what he's going through behind the scenes with Koch making his job a lot harder than it should be.
At the end of the day it was really a "nothing" presso only showing how divided some people in his club are.
