Port Adelaide president David Koch has pledged to review every aspect of the AFL club after their failed season.
Koch says off-field structures will be examined as well as Port's on-field slide from an 11-4 win-loss record to 12-10 and missing the finals.
"It won't be just the football department, it will be the entire organisation from the board through to the executive structure through to football," he told Adelaide radio station 5AA on Monday.
"There is an old saying: 'good teams win games but good organisations win premierships'."
Koch said Port must follow the blueprints of perennial finalists Sydney, Geelong, West Coast and Hawthorn.
"These clubs never go through a rebuild, the term rebuild never comes into their language - and we do not want it to come into ours," he said.
"We have to be ruthless to be elite. We can't just talk about it, we have to do it and show it in our decision making.
"We have not done that."
The Power lost six of their last seven games to slip from finals contention and are awaiting a decision from winger Jared Polec on his future.
Polec, among the favourites to win Port's club champion award, is being courted by Victorian-based clubs.
"We have put in an offer. He is assessing others," Koch said.
"He is a professional football player - they are relatively short careers when compared to other jobs, so they will do what is best for them ... we will wait on what Jared decides."
