It’s not my opinion, it’s fact. If he finds 21.8d while spending time out of the midfield , he would find more if he didn’t get moved forward as much. And I never said “heaps more” that’s you trying to take my argument to somewhere it wasn’t. Yes he could find more ball on the outside ...

It would take a miracle for port to lose one of our best players (Houston) and our 2nd best kf (Todd) and win a gf next year. We’re going backwards losing them even if we gain say Perryman and Richard’s. As it is I think just to make the top 8 will take a massive effort and a lot of luck...

“Doesn’t find enough of the footy” Averaging 21.8d as a bloke who just turned 21 and spending plenty of time up forward (averaged 1.1 goals a game) How much footy would he be finding if we didn’t put him forward so much? If you watched port games you would know these things to be true 1. We...

Hinkley immediately trying to shift blame away from himself after the game is just abysmal Even if it’s true, you cannot as the head coach and figurehead be seen to dismiss personal accountability in such a way. This is literal 101 , if you don’t know this you aren’t fit to coach under 9’s...

Kpps that have been drafted, developed, reached 100 games for port and held onto (ie not traded away like Howard) under hinkleys tenure Todd Marshall …. No one else. Mitch will likely reach the target of 100 games , barring injury or being traded away. To have 1 player fulfill...

I’m not sure what you mean? It was a future pick (this draft) that we traded to acquire Sav and soldo. And we’re looking to trade back into this draft if Houston asks to be traded. Ergo my claim that if we do that it’s potentially a soldo / esava for Houston swap , which looks absolutely...

I thoroughly enjoy the irony of “every thing is getting smaller / tastes worse than when we were kids , music is crap now , why do they only make remakes of films” etc from a population that defends capitalism (but who else are you gonna get)

Eh, it doesn’t matter who he’s “replacing” perryman is first 22 quality in a team that gave a lot of games to mead / boak / f Evans / mcintee / burton / jones / narkle this year. That was probably about 90 games total there to players who either won’t be here next year or should be depth...

**** the Vic’s and the mcg bullshit. Game should be at one of these teams venues. The “mcg can hold more fans” line is absolutely mind boggling dumb fire those idiots into the sun so their genes are removed from the pool type stuff when the exact same amount of tickets could be sold to...

I don’t want cats in the gf, the umps will will them to a win

The way the narrative played out is telling as well. Timeline basically went like this (from memory) —————— Port - wants esava General afl fans - why? Port - offers pick 33 (from memory) General afl Fans - hahaha that’s overpaying Geelong - turns it down General afl fans - lol wtf...

He should be a warm body at sanfl level for break glass emergencies, pity we paid good money and a long contract for him. So dumb. And now our spines in serious trouble he could play a lot of games next year. Our forward line looks in all kind of trouble

Think it’s clear we should hit this draft hard. It’s a deep draft with good mids early and depth of kpps. Prob the wrong year to have a bunch of non-elite father son / ngas I like our young options for wings, but we’ve got no inside mids developing in the seconds and our spine is now a huge...

I have no interest in a fringe player as part of any Houston trade. Sure chuck them in as steak knives but in no way should they be a substitute for a 2nd 1st rounder in the deal. We’re not lacking for fringe players.

The listed sides for 2025 are genuinely 8th - 16th type side , and it would take an amazing injury run and amazing form from a handful of our key players (Mitch Rioli sweet rozee butters jhf Alir Bergman) to get near that top end range. Wrong injuries to the wrong players and we’re bottom 4. In...

At least if we invested in lord we would have some kind of result. We would know we can go into 2025 with him marked down as a first 22 player, or we could go into it knowing we can’t. The absolute worst case scenario was going into 2025 not knowing where he’s at, esava proving he’s not a...

The consensus all year has been its very even across the first round. Think teams with early picks are going to have very different rankings.

To rub salt in the wound , if we’re dumb enough to accept a 1st and a 2nd for Dan , which I hope we’re not, after trading out our first for esava and soldo , plus the extra pick we sent with soldo to trade Dan out for a first in this draft will basically mean Out - Houston In - esava , soldo...

You’ve missed so many points I made.

Todd’s regression (on the back of a preseason injury and concussions, stuff that you’ve used to explain away spp and soldo as N/A or a pass) and was still infinitely more influential than all the following players you’ve combined. Just pointing out the inconsistency. Also, mead boak and...

Todd was playing a leading up the ground chf role, and the fact that when he wasn’t there we struggled to move the ball shows the impact he was having. Wasn’t the best year but even then it shows how underrated he was to our performance this year. I don’t see how you can give boak mead and...

I disagree with several calls here. Boak a pass? dude was downright bad. only got games based on who he was, we constantly overlooked younger developing options who could be getting games to develop such as sinn and Lorenz. Marshall a fail under the reasons you've given? he kicked less goals...

The issue there is that he is a 2nd gamer while we sunk a years worth of games into boak / f Evans / mead and also mcintee etc

Our coach likes to move him deep forward when we’re struggling to find avenues to goal which then leaves him to watch the ball bouncing around upfield as a spectator Our coach is a moron.

They were thinking of themselves, and justifying their decision to keep backing Hinkley year after year Yes, good kfs take years, often decades to find. It took us a span of 20 years between tredrea and Todd / Mitch. Carlton took years of top picks we don’t get to find Mackay and curnow...

Yep. If we trade Dan away we can kiss any chance at a grand final away. We absolutely might as well go all in on a rebuild around jhf which makes acquiring free agents like perryman and cumming pretty moot. Might as well have any players 26 and over on the trade table as well which is Alir...

Also, under no condition should we trade next years 1st. This forward line and no Houston for 22 games makes us a bottom 8 side.

The sheer weight of evidence that Todd was the antithesis to hinkleys “bomb it long” gameplan is overwhelming. Ken never changed his stripes, Todd just gave us a convenient bypass. Now that’s gone we’re ****ed

Umpires have fully done us in here. 2 different sets of rules
