Game Day Kochie's swans vs the white noise power!

[Ford Fairlane]

Wonder if Pete will lose his again, give away frees, 50s, goals and get reported.

 

[Papa G]

Actually the cherry on top would be for Ladhams to be BOG.

Ladhams to kick the winner from the goal square as he out muscles Jonas.

Between him, Howard and Frampton we’ve certainly burnt more than our fair share of serviceable talls recently. None of them are superstars but gee they’d be pretty handy inclusions considering the current state of our list.

Meanwhile on FB - “wOtS kEnNy GoT tO wOrK wItH?!”

 

[manureid]

It is okay, Ollie told me we expected to be 1-3 after 4 rounds, so they are going up there with no real motivation to win because this was the plan.

 

[Nelso]

Swans by 8 goals plus

Ladhams in ruck and a backline of Howard, Frampton and Aliir shits on our current setup

 

[Harlott]

The general vibe of why those players (Ladhams, Howard and Frampton) were shipped off was that they weren’t great for the culture of the club or had big deficiencies or a combination of both. Is that right? Early days but does it say another thing about our leadership and culture that they seem to be going pretty well under Longmire, Lyon and McCrae?

When did any of them become good players? lol

 

[Papa G]

Frampton didn't show a lot, I can live with that one, but both Ladhams and Howard had significant attributes. The reasons for getting rid of Howard didn't make sense at the time and they still don't. Baffling decision.
Ladhams is a bit of a doofus and clearly had some discipline issues, but truckloads of great footballers have discipline issues. He has some elite attributes. But the first sign of "he's a bit different" and Hinkles and the gang ship him off.
Both play in the positions of our greatest need. As I said, baffling.

 

[Harlott]

My point is they’re playing roles in teams that have good form and have three currently well regarded coaches.

As much as I love Ladhams and Frampton (both were my favourite players before being traded), the decision to trade Dougal was maybe the most ridiculous one we've ever made. Wasn't he made a stand-in captain for a game right before the offseason he was traded? Gotta mean he'd be a part of the long term future at his age but apparently not.

When did Clurey or Jonas?

 

[raptalia]

Yeah, we traded out Billy Frampton

who Ken did not want to play and retained Sam Hayes who Ken does not want to play. At least we are consistent in our approach to developing big men.

There are not that many many big men that we have developed under Hinkley. Lycett came from West Coast, Dixon from Gold Coast, Aliir from Sydney, Ryder was from Essendon and the list goes on. Todd Marshall

is one of the few that big men that Ken can claim has grown under his guidance. There plenty that we have drafted under Ken then discarded.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

We've got this.. I dunno what that means but we got it

Chlamydia?

 

[Portmagpies36]

One of the most honest teams in the AFL v one of the most dishonest, there is only one outcome

 

[backtozero]

It's also worth noting that we shipped him off whilst proclaiming that Sam Hayes was "the best young ruck in the AFL not getting a game"

A year later and they're running with a rotating roster of forwards in the role while Lycett is out injured.

But Hinkles good man manager, what happen power?

 

[BornPort]

I think we'll win this one. This team always just does enough to save Hinkley.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Are we carbon neutral yet?

 

[Doctor Feel]

God we are going to win arent we? There will be windmilling then lose to the bulldogs and rinse repeat.

 

[manureid]

I think we'll win this one. This team always just does enough to save Hinkley.

This is what worries me.

 

[TazD]

I have faith that Kenny and the lads will deliver





















Another embarrassing loss

 

[Marat]

Anything other than a respectable loss. And I hope Ladhams destroys Lycett in the ruck and around the ground
