Former state treasurer Kevin Foley buoyed by support for Port Power role

KEVIN Foley will decide by the end of the week if he wants to run for the Port Adelaide Football Club presidency.

The former state treasurer is keener to take on the biggest challenge in Australian football after finding strong support for his impending nomination, particularly from the SANFL and AFL.

The Advertiser understands Mr Foley yesterday met SANFL president and former premier John Olsen to discuss his plan for the Power.

"I've been surprised - and quite motivated - by the support I've had in the past 24 hours," Mr Foley said.

"I'll make a final decision in the next day or so."

Mr Foley's plan to return to public life as Port's president was revealed in The Advertiser yesterday after the Power was sent into crisis with the sacking of coach Matthew Primus and resignation of club leader Brett Duncanson.

Mr Duncanson, a long-time friend of Mr Foley, will stand down at the club's annual meeting in December.

Mr Foley says a new leader must emerge quickly at Alberton. "It is important for the Port Adelaide Football Club to have clear leadership," he said. "I'm not taking anything for granted. If someone else wants to be president, by all means put up your hand.

"I don't want to win a popularity vote. I don't want to trade on nostalgia. I want to fix a seriously damaged product and restore Port Adelaide's standing with a strong financial basis."

Mr Foley will first have to be added to the board and then elected president by his fellow directors. His interest in being an AFL club administrator has sparked contrasting public opinion. He has been criticised by politicians, such as Liberal MP Rob Lucas, who claims Mr Foley left the state in debt and should not be allowed to lead the debt-hit Power.

Mr Foley hit back saying: "I was the treasurer who regained the state's triple-A rating. I eliminated state debt. :shock: =))

"I believe I know how to manage finances as well as anyone," he said.

Mr Foley, a long-time Port supporter, does not see himself as a solo saviour for the Power. He wants to establish a strong group around him at Alberton.

"My way will be focused on making the right decisions for the future of the club," he said.

Many people believe a person with a high public profile, whether liked or not ( McGuire, Kennett etc ) fits well in the role of an AFL President. I agree.

Foley certainly fits that description.

I'm certainly not going to say who I want or dont want involved at the club in the President or coaching role for the time being, its not up to me to decide.

We, as Port supporters, need to put our trust in Keith Thomas to get two big decisions right and I certainly have faith in him to do the work, make the right selections and then and only then can I see how we move forward.

is it true that the power playing group have unanimously stated that if Foley becomes their president that there is a clause in his contract to keep him 100m away from the wags area a the footy at all times??

Incorrect. It was the WAGS, not the players. ;)
