It was a combination of Collingwood being very good and us being really ****ing bad in terms of effort. But there's a reason for that.I was not saying that Collingwood aren't a good team. They clearly are. Maybe even the best in it.
But the pro Hinkley mafia will use that as a reason to tick off on there being nothing wrong with that performance yesterday, as though everyone will lose to Collingwood by 71 points. Don't worry, Hinkley is still amazing, Port are still amazing. We aren't, we're terrible and he's terrible.
Pick your poison,Don’t turn into one of those supporters. You sound like a WCE fan
That Lachie Jones play was completely horrific. It didn't cost us the game but it did solidify in my mind that Jones just lacks the basic skills and instincts to be an AFL player.It was a combination of Collingwood being very good and us being really ******* bad in terms of effort. But there's a reason for that.
I will tell you the very moment where the team lost any hope of winning the game. Q1, 7:46 to go. Port is streaming out of defence - Wines handballs to Rozee who handballs to Butters who executes a long handpasss to Rioli. Rioli then handpasses to Jones.
This is what Jones should have done...either a kick or handpass to a wide open Powell-Pepper:

This is what he did do:

This holding the ball resulted in a goal and turned a 12 point deficit into an 18 point deficit when we had an opportunity to reduce the margin to 6 points...based on nothing but Jones' stupidity.
By the by, I found another glaring example of s**t umpiring...and this one is definitive. Note the position of the umpire:

Yep, that's Jordan De Goey, running past the ball and leaving the ground to collect Bergman head high with his shoulder.
But play on. No report, not even a free. Not even a peep from the commentators. Why? Because it's Collingwood, and because they play Richmond next week. The AFL will sweep this under the rug.
We were down by 24 points at this point of the game. It was at this moment that every player in our team knew that the umpires wouldn't look after them in the contest and Collingwood knew they were free to do whatever the * they wanted and they would never be penalised with a free kick.
After I saw this, I didn't give a * about this game or the result.
Really, really good. Totally recommend.Any good? I watched the first 5 minutes and was interested but had to go. Worth watching?
Ps sorry for the intrusion. How goods the showdown going to be? Losing coach should be sacked on the spot? Winning coach also sacked? Let’s goooo!
Drop yourself Tom if you really believe these words
Yeah I have the feeling the recurringWe win the showdown.
I’m not talking about cancelling memberships. I’ve cancelled mine also. Hinkley years brought me back when he came in and turned it around. But he’s done a full 180 and I left because of him too.Pick your poison,
Ether stay a member with a club that is rapidly sinking away from its roots because of the boys club running it, just to play the loyal card.
Or, cancel the membership and make a statement to the club that as passionate fans, we've had enough of our annual groundhog season performances with minimal onfield improvment on a timeloop. Looking 'unloyal' to the so called 'loyal' supporters.
I cancelled my membership at the beginning of last year and so far have not regretted my decision. The day that coward is out of our club, I'll be right back in.
I am saving this GIF! Genuinely made me LOL, love it!
I want Lachie to make it so bad but he can’t justifiably continue to be played on current form needs a decent spell is playing like a poor man’s Ned McHenryThat Lachie Jones play was completely horrific. It didn't cost us the game but it did solidify in my mind that Jones just lacks the basic skills and instincts to be an AFL player.
Some guys have it and others don't. Compare that to watching Phillipou play for the Saints. Built like a string bean and has barely played any football yet still can pick up the ball cleanly and execute under pressure.
Jones has played enough at this point that he should be able to do basic football actions reliably. Every game he plays he looks like straight off the plane Daniel Flynn FFS. A convert from another sport.
Worrying about the Prison Bar Flag now Go have a cry reta*ds!
The MRO assessed an incident between Jordan DeGoey and Miles Bergman during the first quarter. It was assessed that the Collingwood player had no other reasonable option in the circumstances and was contesting for the football. Miles Bergman was careless in his positioning and should have taken action to avoid the impact when he saw DeGoey coming towards him. We look forward to seeing DeGoey light it up at the G next week against old rivals Richmond, in what looms as a blockbuster clash.
I had high hopes for him, but this is what...his 3rd season now?That Lachie Jones play was completely horrific. It didn't cost us the game but it did solidify in my mind that Jones just lacks the basic skills and instincts to be an AFL player.

Im 50. My kids are now 20s. Weve been to them all, including those Primus 130 point drubbings.I’m not talking about cancelling memberships. I’ve cancelled mine also. Hinkley years brought me back when he came in and turned it around. But he’s done a full 180 and I left because of him too.
But I’m not going to start filling basketball or soccer.
Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment though. I stuck around and watched every Primus game, I’ll watch every Hinkley game too. Although these games feel so much more painful to watch.
Yeah it's pretty scary. Half our supporter base wouldn't even know of what Port were (other than what they may have heard or read).Im 50. My kids are now 20s. Weve been to them all, including those Primus 130 point drubbings.
Feel for those in Melbourne, and thosw under 25's who have knoen nothing but losing, with this club
2004 was nineteen years ago now
Lucky I was old enough to have seen the 2004 flag. 2007 was a nightmare. Ever since then the clubs been a let down. To think I was hopeful when Ken first got there, what the hell happened Ken?Im 50. My kids are now 20s. Weve been to them all, including those Primus 130 point drubbings.
