Possibly the worst quarter of umpiring you're likely to see in your lives offset only by one of the best quarters from a backman you'll see in that same lifetime

Lycett (if fit) for Westhoff and Burton (if fit) for Mayes. Think Farrell and Woodcock fill the same need - reckon we only need one of them in the 22. They both hold their spot after this week but reckon that'll be looked at moving forward.

Nothing sums up the Hinkley era better than watching us get washed by opposition talls inside our defensive 50 then watching us bomb it blindly inside forward 50 to our full forward...183cm Robbie Gray.

Crows would have to be out of their bloody minds to trade pick 3 for 11 and 15. That is highway robbery.

That was one of the best passages of play all year from Miers then. Three or four possessions from half back and winds up kicking the goal

Richmond with three deep forward entries to one-on-one contests for their three goals. Did we even manage that many all year?

Pumping 96 games into Sam Gray in six years just so we can move him on for what will more than likely be a third-round pick while stifling the development of young talent wasting away in the 2s. Just modern Port Adelaide things.

It's all well and good to crack a tanty here on BigFooty and lament the brass for being too weak to pull the pin on the Hinkley era, but if you're too weak yourself to incite any physical change and just rock up to Adelaide Oval week after week with your fingers crossed, then what message are...

F*** me people stop replying to this Adds troll. It's not that hard. I read this thread to gorge on some Hinkley hate yet every other f****** post is someone responding to nonsense.

At this point it's just as much on the brass as it is Ken; shit rolls downhill and now the whole club reeks. Our gutless CEO/chairman set the tone in 2017 when they should've laughed Ken out of the room but instead caved and handed him a four-year deal in spite of no finals wins in three years...

Holy f*** is that the first one out contested mark any of our players have taken all season? On ya Billy

F****** lol that goal umpire denied Sheppard so hard

7 contested marks to Brissy's 16 is woeful. Ryder took 1 contested grab and outside of him, Lycett, Howard, Westhoff combined for zero. Our 4 tallest players took 1 contested mark between them. We have no real consistent big marking target and we will continue to be so, so one dimensional until...

Our captain is not coming back through the magoo's lol. If Ollie is fit, he's playing.

Carn mate. I love Butters as much as anyone but to say after two games that he’s “nearly Polec’s equal” is nuffworthy.

Your side's won 2 games out of its last 24 mate. Your rebuild is not even in the stratosphere of successful.

KT and Koch brought the club back from the dead but mediocrity is the price we pay for a second chance.

The club is acutely aware of every single person who walks through the turnstiles. Whether you’re a club member, opposition member, casual fan, whatever, they have metrics to monitor it all. The systems and databases built for large companies these days are capable of filtering information into...

We had 80 more disposals. 10 more free kicks. 20 more contested touches. 25 more tackles. In spite of that, we only won by 5 points. The building blocks are there - the work rate, the talent, but as always we are working far, far too hard for little reward.

The moment KT put that contract in front of Ken we became the antithesis of Port Adelaide. F****** gutless. Terrified one nudge will send the house of cards crumbling down. We’re now arguably in a worse position than we were when Ken started. Why? Because Ken’s had five full seasons now to...

We lost the contested possession count by 42 lol. 42. Over the last two weeks the biggest differentials in CP, outside of our loss last night, have been -22, -30 and -31. The -22 being Carlton against Adelaide last night, -30 being Gold Coast vs Adelaide last round and -31 Collingwood vs...

God that was a f******* great movie

Of all the issues with the side, the mosquito fleet has been the biggest for the last ~3 years. It’s not going to work, it’s never going to work, and we’ve given a four-year extension to a bloke who can’t see the problem.

In a day and age where contested ball reigns supreme and the size of inside mids rivals that of forwards of old... ...Our genius selection panel has decided that picking 3 players (Barry, S. Gray, Neade) under 180cm will get us over the line on Saturday.

If Johnson comes in I'm checking myself into Glenside

If we don’t win a final for what will be the fourth consecutive year this year, I’ll help him pack his bags and drive the poor bastard to the airport. He’s done all he can here and I wouldn’t begrudge him moving to an actual contender.

Out: Amon, Thomas, Houston, S. Gray In: Marshall, Pittard, Atley, Frampton

Symptomatic of most of our losses to decent teams in the Hinkley era. We have a ludicrous inside 50 count because we employ the same, amateur-level dumb tactic of blindly bombing it into the forward pockets with every entry. All we’re doing is making the lives of opposition defenders easier -...

Watts is honestly playing like a PTSD sufferer any time the ball comes near him.

No finals wins in three years? Have four more.
