Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[George Kramer]

They don’t mind recruiting midfielders.

Especially good ones

 

[FR0GGY]

Is Daisy Thomas trying to be the new Billy Brownless?
He’s put on heaps of weight.

 

[Dewy006]

Brisbane are soft as butter, it’s no wonder they can’t win a final. Their game plan doesn’t hold up under finals like pressure. Classic great Regular season team, finals flops.

Small ones at that

Just getting in early. If Port lose to Richmond Thursday night that will end Port's season as they will be virtually three games out of the top 8. Given its a Thursday night game, that gives them an opportunity to move on Hinkley.

FR0GGY did you hear there is a Thursday night game?

Big game for both sides.

I doubt Port will sack Hinkley... until at least the end of the season.

Port won't sack Hinkley but once finals is out of the equation I can see him walking. I'd be surprised if Port fall out of finals contention and Hinkley stays on. We will know in the next 5 weeks if Port are a genuine shot.

I'd love to win the round 23 showdown to knock them out of finals.

 

[Bay62]

On the Port board the “Hinkley to GWS” rumour persists a little

GWS need a coach who can take them from finalists (well, in previous years) to a GF. Why would they want someone who will be sacked/walk for his inability to do exactly that?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

When Hinkley goes I can see Gray and Boak retiring rather than bother with a new coach

 

[MRB37]

Tackles in the Woodville vs South Adelaide SANFL game

When port lose to Richmond.

Working

Give me small ones that can play over anyone that can’t.

Would think Gray would be in his last year any way.

I know their our fiercest oppo but these two have been brilliant for the game and their club. Much respect for them.

 

[MarcusP2]

Surprised me a bit that he didn’t play a few games for them, given their lack of quality forwards. Even limited minutes just to provide some leadership and on-field development for the young kids. Must have been well and truly cooked.

Injured all year I believe.

 

[ams4crows]

Frederick from Freo is exactly what we need in our side, Don't Port have his twin? Wonder why he isn't getting many games?

 

[hey shorty]

Give me small ones that can play over anyone that can’t.

That's been my point all along.

But many here would say "ugh we only pick sub 180cm players"

I'd happily take Serong and Neale.

 

[LeftyLuke]

Agree but the team needs a mix and not 12 short blokes and 6 really tall blokes. The players we need to weed out are players such as Rowe, McHenry, Murphy who are limited short footballers who don't kick enough goals or impact the game. Ogilvie has a penchant for short mids. We definitely need a couple of 6'4 skilled mids with some pace. We lack athleticism as well in most of our talls. In short we need a new head of recruiting and director of football/list management.

They're like the Port of a few years ago. They play the millionaire football where they destroy bad teams and look unstoppable when everything is on their terms, but when challenged they fall apart.

They play exactly like we did. Mids all run ahead of the contest assuming we will win the ball. When we do, we look amazing - players running everywhere, forwards on fire etc...
When we lose the contest - massively exposed the other way. It's russian roulette. We still do it to an extent.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Give me small ones

Not often you hear that

That disappointing for you?
