Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 7

It's a good thing Roo could play football. Otherwise he'd still be in the Riverland growing and dealing weed.

Or he could have ended up snorting white powder...

Whocares. Tex would come in handy in our rabble of a forward line atm. Goodluck to the racist campaigner

His skill level could be peak Ablett Sr and I still wouldnt want to see him in a Port jumper.

Kane saved walkers career and ruined Connors campaigner.

Ken Hinkley’s boys should have beaten Carlton. They blew it, and are now up against it to salvage their season

Another Ken love fest.

"His record over the past decade, given the talent at his disposal, is remarkable"

How does the author miss the blinding obvious in his own article while defending Ken

"For years, Port have been a pretty straightforward side that’s always been missing something – a bit of luck, some poise, a star forward or a coach who could pull a rabbit out of the hat. They have always had a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot. And they have never really been a ‘system’ team"

You know, like a proper coached side would be.

This sentence just kills me. Ken’s whole set up leans on unsustainable individual brilliance FFS. The article even goes on to say that we’re not really a “system team” I mean there’s a f@&king clue if there ever was one. Not to mention that his record has nothing of note on it apart from a couple of popularity contest wins.

Remarkable? Only in Bizzaro World where it means deplorable.

Article jumps all over the place. Talks about the importance of Dixon then states us not having a gun key forward has hurt Hinkley over the journey (also forgetting he had Schulz kicking 49, 66 and 44 from 13-15).

I think the issue is just lazy journalism in AFL. The quality of writing/analysis is high school level but because your average reader is a muppet they don’t care - it still sells.

I choose not to believe that not all those in the media are that wedded to Hinkley - I mean for what purpose? Why would this guy support Hinkley?

I mean it is remarkably shit that with the lists and support he has had he hasnt got the club to even a single grand final in a decade so I think... technically correct?

I don't mind the guardian but not when it comes to sports. They're the equivalent of Shaun Micallef as Philip Quist reporting on football. Arty wanks who have no interest in sport whatsoever but try to make themselves sound brainy anyway.

I dunno, its pretty remarkable that a team with a Brownlow medallist in the midfield, an afl MVP, an all Australian full forward, all Australian CHB and a player that collected 25 votes couldn't even make a grand final.

I really enjoy their cricket coverage, especially their live stuff. They are my go to for a big test series if I can't watch it live.

If we had 5 Top-4 finishes, 4 PF losses, 3 SF losses, and 2 EF losses under Hinkley, I would be wondering why we didn’t play in a GF.

But we’ve had 2 Top-4 finishes, 3 PF losses, 1 SF losses, and 1 EF loss. A GF appearance would have been a fluke.

Hinkley’s Finals record by round

EF: 2-1
SF: 1-1
QF: 2-0
PF: 0-3

In 9 seasons.

Does anyone know what your club has called a press conference today for? Big announcement, or something minor? Cheers.

Because our current hierarchy, admin and football, keeps us mediocre, which is exactly what AFL House wants. Media representatives depend on open access to the AFL, so toe the company line.

The new Caligula Flankets. Perfect memento for the 2022 season.

Grêmio’s president called a press conference today to announce that nothing is changing and to ask for supporters stop complaining (after 2 rounds, we are in the relegation zone for D.III).

Seriously!

For Association Football, they are good. Sid Lowe, in particular, is one of the best on Spanish football.

 

[klem22]

port has no SYSTEM is an accurate assessment of this club, we never have had much system it is evident in our style of play we are so unpredictable that every one has already predicted what we are up to and have us completely covered.
THEBRILLIANTMINDOFkernhinkley. What a future we have under his brilliant mind.

Gotta love the Crowvertiser - the Crows have 1 good win, and now it's "from cellar dwellers to contenders." Contenders for what - the top 12?
