I reckon as I said, clubs would rather competitive stability than change.

There is an element of luck.
if you are competitive longer you're more likely to snatch a run of luck one time.
If you put all your hopes in a narrow window, something bad can happen and ruin it all.

If they’ve been there for 10 years without winning one they really should consider it.

I think my point is being missed here, I don’t see why you would sign him in August. As it stands he’s achieved absolutely nothing this year and you’re rewarding that.

Wait until the season is done, if they win the flag no brainer.

If they make a granny, same thing really.

Anything short of that, I’d be asking him tell me how he’s going to improve and win a flag.

I’m not advocating for sacking him, I’m pointing out that he’s contracted until seasons end and has been there for 10 years without the ultimate success. I don’t get it

Because he's made the top 4 and has done so through multiple rebuilds. The guy can clearly coach and lead a footy dept.

Who ya gonna replace him with that will be better?

The other thing that staying 'up' does is it creates opportunities at the end of every season.

Port are a chance to go get Grundy and be even better next year. That probably doesn't happen if they were 10th and sacked Hinkley.

The Dogs bring in Liam Jones and might make a play for Jeremy McGovern. Again, neither of those happen if the Dogs are bottom 4 and 'outside the window'.

If we make finals this year then you can sell that dream to a guy like Parish - Come to us, make us better, and we can finish top 4 in 2024.

Then next year you can do it again with a guy like Lachie Shultz - Come to us, make us better, and we can be top 4 again in 2025 with a real shot at a flag...

Then you can try to roll that on perpetually. You can keep trying to top up like Geelong and Sydney and Brisbane do each year. Then when a Daniher, Lynch, Cameron type FA pops up you can shoot your shot and go all in for a flag and, if it doesn't work, you're still top 4-6 and can keep selling the dream to players to come and play for your stable, professional, winning organization.

A lot of clubs have been doing this for years and they're pretty good at it. It's a sport and a business :)
 
We need Brisbane to win so they aren't angry next week :'(
 
Robertson would’ve been happy to not get another jumper for the rest of the game. Not even trying to hide how happy he is with himself.
 
Nathan Murphy doing what he does, tunnelling Ah Chee so he almost breaks his back.
 
Mason Cox as sub might be the worst call I’ve seen
 
We want Brisbane to come out all .... "aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" next week.
