. I went off at him, but then Hinge...and the rest is history.
So, on Ken vs the Port players for the last 2 minutes. I'm wary of the wrath of Sanders
Of course the players (should) train for such a situation, of course the players (esp the onfield leaders) should "click into gear" in that situation. A coach shouldn't have to do/say anything, but most coaches do. See the 4 coaches (Crows/Port/Carlton/Hawthorn) in that situation on the weekend - only one of them was sitting back and not on the phone.
It's IMO about "making sure" and not just sitting back and assuming the players will do the right thing. There was a stoppage on the wing, right next to the interchange area, with 30 secs to go. Within shouting distance, a runner didn't even have to go on to the ground.
Would it have made any difference? Maybe not, but to not even try?
And Ken's got form in this area. How many times do we see him on TV sitting in the box, no phone, no headset. I mean, I don't pretend to be able to tell an AFL coach what to do during the game, but IMO it's a terrible look to be the only coach who's not seen giving instructions during the game.
PS the Jones "HTB not paid" - was that the wing, as above, with 30 secs to go? IMO that was "no prior". Maybe in another situation an overzealous umpire might pay it, but it was quite legit to let it go.

It was very much the right choice, IMO. Hinge was well on his own, would be able to turn and hoof the ball even further. Maybe if Billy had known the exact time remaining he might have gone the Hail Mary, but, as you say, it was meant to be.I was expecting Billy to barrel the ball straight down the guts into the forward fifty, because he can actually hoof a ball. But no, a dinky little kick with what..15seconds left to play
Billy's kick was meant to be.

“Sanders enters a thread”
He's not trolling, he loves Hinkley and always sucks up his arse

Contract looming over his head is creating unwanted noise in the media and throughout the club
All the Crocmedia media stooges are talking up Ken.
Funny. The coaches didn’t think he was in the best 4 Collingwood players on the day:
