Port Adelaide Football Club has confirmed the appointment of TV personality David Koch as its new Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

Mr Koch will take up the appointment following the departure of Brett Duncanson, who served on the board since 2005 and chaired it since 2009.

 

Mr Koch was nominated as a Director with the support of the Port Adelaide Football Club, the SANFL and the AFL, before being elected Chairman at a meeting of the Board.

 

“For a Port Adelaide person and one who comes from a family that has been Port Adelaide for generations, it is an enormous honour to become the club’s Chairman,” Mr Koch said.


“There is no way I underestimate the challenges going forward, but I’m excited because I think that together we can make a difference and have a great impact as we guide the club through an incredibly exciting period.


“I have agreed to the role after taking advice from a great number of people, some of whom are every day members of Port Adelaide who sit in the outer week in and week out."
