2nds 2019 SANFL Grand Final- Port Adelaide v Glenelg 3pm Sunday 22/9

[Coobk001]

We lost by what 5 goals. They got 2 goals that on replay were clearly touched, and were paid a clear non mark in the first 10m out. We also missed a stack of easy goals.

As much as we were shit, the game was close and we were good enough if we could get it together but we never did. Far too many passengers on the big stage, and a game plan that lacked a system that utilised our weapons.

Frampton could've had the greatest day of his life but dropped at least 4 simple marks inside 50. Marshall didn't show up. Our entire midfield was fumbly and panicked. Refusing to use space and missing elementary handballs which created pressure all day long. Our defence was ok, but still some basic errors from them hurt.


The worst part is walking away from that with serious questions about how some of that talent will ever translate to AFL.

Hayes and Ladhams, well they've clearly got it.

However Marshall, Drew, Garner, Lienert, Farrell, Frampton, Atley, Woodcock all have huge question marks over them in one form or another. Especially the last 3.

Our list is deep, but it's not deep with potential quality, instead the depth is just that, depth. A bunch of players with limited potential.


So again on the big stage our club failures to come to play, we again deflate our supporter base, and we settle in for yet another season of Hinkleyball.

**** I'm over losing.

 

[Us against the rest]

It is NOT Hinkley. Look above him. Hinkley fits a profile.

It's all of them imo.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Thomas and co were heavily invested in winning this game to salvage something from this season. Get what you deserve I guess.

 

[snozulu]

The Port Adelaide we all knew is gone now, has been for quite some time.

 

[Jonts]

We are so dumb.

Too many blokes looking after themselves rather than playing team footy.

The face on kt and Kochie as the siren went was one of they know the shit sandwich they have.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

We exist to finish seasons early and get to Bali. #brotime

 

[LP7_]

Ah well, I’m already over it. Learnt a couple of things though.

Frampton can go, not fussed either way.
Drew is going to be a very good AFL player, and it’s purely down to intensity and effort, he has it in spades.
I’d have no issues with Gould being in our side in a couple months time.

On a side note, I can’t believe that putting McKenzie to full forward didn’t turn that game on it’s head. Masterful coaching, we were just unlucky. Lel

 

[Us against the rest]

The last sentence of the infamous KT email.

Right now, we’ve got 4 games to win, a finals campaign and a Magpies premiership push to look forward to.
Let’s get it done.

See you at the footy!

Thomas and co were heavily invested in winning this game to salvage something from this season. Get what you deserve I guess.

So why did we not play like this? We knew we'd be the only side umpired, that isn't a secret. We needed to come out as if it mattered. Instead we had the trademark 3 goals against in ten minutes in a goalless first quarter.

"Heavily invested" covers everyone from the fans to the Chairman. We didn't see that today. Not by a long shot.

 

[Steve Dore]

The influence of Hinkley has stunk up the whole club, they could have put Power jumpers on and you wouldn't know the difference.

Ken is like a festering sore.

Hinkley is the senior coach and the AFL listed players that played today train under Hinkley and (try to) learn his game plan. Of course there is little difference bbetween the same players in a Power guernsey or a Magpies guernsey.

Today was classic Hinkley Ball because that is how the players train.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Can't believe how often we handballed to players under pressure when there were better options. Panicball.

 

[GremioPower]

It's all of them imo.

It is. Like fever, Hinkley needs to be treated. There's no doubt about it. I am just pointing out that he is a symptom.

Nah, he was just given a dream run by the officials. Won't happen in our AFL side.

I was talking about the administration, hence Thomas and co. Players let them down, maybe they shouldn't be surprised.

 

[GremioPower]

The Port Adelaide we all knew is gone now, has been for quite some time.

"Port is dead. We have killed him."

 

[Doctor Feel]

Meanwhile Richmond are going to win both the AFL and the VFL.

Remember power fans, richmond held on to hardwick!

 

[Sinisstar]

No intensity, no ticker. Time to put the broom through this club...starting with the campaigners at the top.

 

[Us against the rest]

Can't believe how often we handballed to players under pressure when there were better options. Panicball Hinkleyball.

FTFY.

Before anyone can accuse you of grinding your Hinkley axe, let me be the first to defend you and say you are 100% right.

Now for OGC and others to hunt you down.

Id say that even OGC would tend to agree with the removal of the aspartame fixated loser.

 

[afl2004]

We played exactly like our afl team , the holes in our structure and system are so obvious it's stunning the amount of useless kicks and handpasses is stunningly bad .

Got another awful 5 years at least before we can have a hope of professionalism run footy club

 

[Us against the rest]

I think Hinkley has the virus and has spread it. He may have contracted it from the board.

At least we can look forward to the fall out and there had better be one

 

[Capital Power]

I feel sorry for the poor sods in membership who have to get cracking on renewals. The rest of the Club hasn't given them a lot to work with .

 

[Capital Power]

St least we can look forward to the fall out

Which we all know isn't going to address the root cause(s). But we will doubtless not renew a couple of rookies.

 

[GremioPower]

I hope the 150th scarf is worthy...
"Happy Birthday!"
