Amazing season. Shout out to goofy Uncle Ken. I really think he's galvanised the club, leadership group, team & supporters with his childish antics. Talk about motivation. To 2025 & beyond! We're coming hard. Love ya Sic.

Mids and forwards starting late was also a thingThe last few minutes of the game were irrelevant. The game was won and lost by a midweek tweet and everything that happened during the football game is irrelevant
He wasn't the difference alone he had help in Burgoyne & a few others.Rioli was the difference. Stats do nor do justice to his importance.
ExactlyThey didn’t play “above their level” to beat us. They played to their level and we almost matched them.
AgreeHe wasn't the difference alone he had help in Burgoyne & a few others.
We had too many who had down games, was it due to the pressure? Maybe, it's a young team and hopefully they do learn from it because if they make finals again, it won't get any easier.
It wasn't personal it was banter. Personal would have been mentioning Ports or old mates poor finals record.ginni made it personal towards port & it drove their motivation all week... right or wrong. it's a few % they shouldn't have had in a very tight game.
the game is mostly mental. anyway we move on & learn.
Didn’t Croady hit the post late in that final against the Bombres?and 2001

They are good side . They've played consistent finals and are hardened to that type of game .We were pushing too hard against the Dogs in the first quarter too. Instead of taking risks, they would normally have taken what they were given.
Something to learn from.
I'm sure they've already been looking at vision and discussing this, but we gave up our game to play it on their terms.
Was a frustrating watch as a fan because we were on the cusp of playing good footy for a burst here and there.
They dragged us down to their level, with a vastly inferior team. We just played a game that suited them.

All it has showed it the generation gap between the old school coach and even media who seem to be stuck 20 years behind reality .
I think realistically from 2026 onwards we should have a solid patch of finals contention.Just had an interesting thought. After being pipped in an epic prelim at G by the Hawks a decade ago, Port were flag favorites with the bookies going into 2015 with an overwhelming "this Power side will be around the mark for a long time" feel. We missed finals. Will be interesting to see how the Hawks go with some legitimate expectations going into 2025. I get the feeling with Sam Mitchell at the helm you are pretty well placed to not get ahead of yourselves.

That's a completely nonsensical response that has absolutely nothing to do with my post, but nevermind. And sporting organisations absolutely do get ahead of themselves. Perhaps you are just privileged enough to support a club who hasn't done that any time recently?Getting ahead of yourself what does that even mean? If you don't think you're good why do you even play AFL?
At the end of the day, you usually get beaten by better opponents, unless umpires take control. If you lack confidence you're probably not going to win many games.
I know you came here with good intentions but the way Ken and Rozee disrespected Breust after the game, your club is going to have it coming next year. And it won't be close, we will smash you.

And now we have more ammunition than what Port started with, for years. Brilliant
yep, the fact they are even trawling through Instagram (or more likely have notifications turned on), or being made aware of a single reply post shows how low and desperate for clickbait/ immediate news the AFL media have become.It wasn't personal it was banter. Personal would have been mentioning Ports or old mates poor finals record.

If you look closely, you 'll see Chol at bottom of screen had all that space to lead into .Behind-the-goals vision provides such a great perspective. The next step in TV coverage is to provide the viewer an option to switch to that if they wish to.
This particular instance will be great learning for our young side to keep their shape at all costs. They've proven themselves to be fast learners and that's why I'm confident our upward trajectory will continue in 2025.
Edit: When Mass kicked that final ball in, with the cameras being locked in on him in close-up, I wondered why, being such a good kick, he couldn't find a Hawk target inside 50. Now I know why.
The challenge is always expectation. Port 2013/ 2014 and Hawks 2024 were two young teams with no expectations and a good core of younger players coming through.
Development isn't always linear though and sometimes the weight of expectation can shackle young teams. St. Kilda and Fremantle are decent enough examples in the last few years.
There is every possibility that we make finals again with two key acquisitions (Barrass, Battle) but there is also the possibility we stagnate. I am biased but I think Sam Mitchell is the difference. He's shown an incredible ability to build relationships, manage expectations, and get the best out of the players.
