No president.. the PAFC constitution doesn't allow for it apparently.

According to the interview Koch gave on MMM.

So, why was Brett Duncanson always called the President?

"The Big Kahuna" has a certain je ne sais quoi about it.

Good to have Kochie, Cos & co. on board.

Nice change to have some positive news out of Alberton...

As harsh as it seems Port have to do something radical. They can't continue down their current path. Ballsy move but I reckon it'll work.
Perth radio states that Port identified Leon Cameron as coach as far back as 2 weeks but their apparent first meeting was yesterday?

Assuming that's because we can't poach anyone while their seasons are still going

Leon Cameron is apparently pulling out of the running for the Port coaching position. Rumour is he's been meeting with GWS.
This throws a massive spanner in the works if true (I've heard from a pretty reliable source).
Cameron is untried, but seemed to be the best option. I'm not sure who the next best candidate would have been. Hocking? Would be amazing to somehow get Roos.

Mate if what you're saying is true you can't even convince a bloke who has been desperate to coach for 6 years good luck to coaxing an experienced premiership coach.

Did hear this rumour, Cameron to be assistant for 1 year and Sheedy definately stepping down at end of year and Cameron will take over.
Who knows if there is any truth to it

Salopek amd Rodan were likely to be delisted anyway.

Chaplin and Pearce have been at the club for a few years now, and have contributed to its current state with inconsistent efforts.

Jacobs is a concern, but the club only has itself to blame as it was probably a poor draft selection, although glandar fever didn't help his cause.
