PAFC CEO Matthew Richardson

[Lefti93]

Leave, and never come back.

Someone should ask him why Port didn't do a thorough rebrand like the Crows have just done, when we had the chance.
Logo aside, it's clear they engaged a legitimate agency and went through a rigorous process to build out their visual identity for the future.

Keeping things 'in-house' and having the process controlled by certain members of staff and the board, telling supporters it was for 150th only before revealing that they lied about that, and then having low/no paid designers to roll out the social media branding gives you an indication of the type if admin we currently have running the club

And yet, our boring logo is 1 million times better that theirs

That’s not true, and beside the point.

They did the job properly. We didn’t.
The results will be obvious next season.

Our logo is fine it's basic and looks Port Adelaide as opposed to fists with lightning bolts let alone stupid designs incorporating the shape of souf straya and Rayguns.

Are you forgetting the epic, 20 post instagram tribute to family man Robbie Gray?

Thanks Matthew, yep losing a home qualifying final by 84 points and not firing a shot in the prelim were particular highlights.

Never be in any doubt as to what the internal expectations are - these people are just thrilled to be there.

Is this the third iteration of “thanks everyone! something something great 2024!” since the end of September?

Who is this messaging for?

 

[JimmyBC]

When's the parade?

 

[tribey]

I know for a fact that Brisbane fans are envious of all the KFC ads and Perfect Pear.

Probably wasn’t even meant to be sent out externally - for the “echo chamber” email distribution list only.

That is just genuinely taking the piss him making that statement.

Pre-game is like a funeral procession now. I genuinely thought about taking a book at times this past season to get through the 45 minutes or so before the bounce.

The prawn sandwiches and bants in his ivory tower must be off the chain.

I got you, babe

 

[TeeKray]

There would be nothing wrong with acknowledging making finals/prelims as something of an achievement if it represented progress or breaking new ground (eg our AFLW team or even our AFL team back in '13/'14).

When you've got the same people delivering the same results who have long since clearly and obviously hit the ceiling of their achievement it becomes a boring and self serving message that comes across as them protecting their own jobs (because it is).

The match day experience for our first womens final was the chalkboard MC reminding us at each break "ORRITE DOWNLOAD THE APP AND GET YA VOTES IN FOR THE FARKEN SONG WE GONNA PLAY AT 3 QUARTER TIME"

 

[JimmyBC]

Sadly there is a contingent of supporters that spruik about match day experience & Jarrod Walsh narrated fluff when in reality it's a cringe on crack to everyone else around the country.

Was genuinely incredible in the early years (in conjunction with the GDV).

Is now as stale and insipid as the tail-end of Football Park.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Our mat has day experience is only annoying because we aren't winning when it counts.

If we felt like those minor round wins and losses actually mattered it would be infinitely more enjoyable.

[Willsy10]

how is our match day experience the best? I'm genuinely baffled by that statement. How bad is every other teams?

 

[Willsy10]

Can we please get rid of not giving in and replace with something else if we need to. Does anyone still get pumped up for the game hearing that? Probably just triggers PTSD in thousands of fans and probably some players too.

 

[VineValerian]

Hey folks and clappers.
We're so fantastic.
The envy of the comp.
We dun reel good - we deserve a pat on the back (from ourselves) for how great we is!
Another decade of this awaits youse true believers.

Leave Perfect Pear out of this, I enjoy that segment lol

MR, because we don't care what happens on the the field. What happens off the field defines our Football Club Corporation.

Sorry, we cant call ourselves a football club until it is handed back to the members.

Very apt given Cher was in an abusive relationship with Sonny when they recorded this.

The PAFC has become like the abusive partner that keeps telling their victim that things will be better next time.
