Yep the only one who tried..not too late yet before he gets Hinkleyed. Need to remove the spud in the coaches box right now.

Can't believe they benched the guy who is most likely to win our B&F for the start of the game where we got completely outrun without him.
Rozee & Butters have played more than twice the amount of finals this guy has and have consistently failed, at least JHF can get the team going when he's switched on, and would honestly still be a better club captain than either of those guys at this stage.
If we don't start him in the centre square for the first bounce next week then we're not serious (Or hopefully he's just waiting out for a change in coach)

JHF can hold his head high. Worked his arse off last night but not enough of his mates came along for the ride. He's always a threat. I thought he was overrated but it's pretty fair to say this guy is going to be a gun.
He already has the 2024 brownlow in his back pocket. Remains to be seen if he'll add a premiership and Norm Smith medal this season. But as it stands he's pretty good, pretty pretty pretty good.

Did Kern address why he decided to do this with JHF?
Seems a bizarre move.

he had 2 touches in the 3rd qtr when he had to stand up. He had 8 in the last when the game was over. Most of his disposals were shit handballs that missed their target. His game is being so highly overrated.
Port's making profit without the advantage of the AFL giving them a sweet heart stadium deal.
Eh....I felt he seriously drifted in and out of the game (which I've seen him do quite a few times).
There were bursts when he looked extremely threatening, then he seemed to go missing for stretches.

It's quite possible that Jason will win more finals than those two will win matches

Chris Scott must have been laughing his ass off in the box when JHF started on the bench in the first and second quarters. The guy absolutely torched us earlier in the season when Port beat us and to my mind, was the most likely of the 'big three' to turn the game Port's way.

True, it is possible, not quite as likely as Kochie giving Hinkley extensions until JHF retires, but it is possible.
Couldn’t believe that when I saw it. He was just about our only midfielder who could win a clearance. Just diabolical decision making leaving him on the bench at such key moments.
Especially to start the second when we should have been aiming to come out firing and get the lead after a very average start.
I wondered if it's because he hasn't the tank yet to play a full game midfield?

That was unbelievable. He came off early in the second as well.

Roos will win a prelim before Port. Calling it now.
If it was the second half you could possibly make that case however starting the first bounce on the bench? Nah that’s just terrible tactics from the coaching group.
Made this same mistake benching Drew for the first 10 mins against the Dogs in the prelim. By time he came on we were already 5 goals down and Libba (who he then went to) was destroying us.
Why, are they leaving North as well?
You can have legitimate issues with JHF as a player, but you can't bag him for leaving the absolute basket case that is north.
Since he's left they've managed to win 6 game in two years with a percentage of 67%. Their percentage went backwards this year so they are empirically getting worse.
Port have won 33 games.
