Opinion Non-Crows AFL 6: This Is Getting Cruel

[mtbkym]

A few of their supporters were complaining about the Magpies logo being gone from their SANFL jumper and replaced by the MG logo.

Been gone for atleast a year, maybe 2

Wines looks like logical captain

The worst Brownlow medal winner since Woewodin?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Yeah, it’s interesting, he looked really fit prior to the season during preseason, but then on the weekend, not as such!

Definitely no surprise at all. I (along with other WCE supporters) are grateful to him for his efforts in 2018, will always be part of our history etc. but yeah, the way in which he departed has left a bitter taste to be honest.

I was surprised he did that to the Eagles tbh.

I thought wines gave up the captaincy as it effected his game too much? They did have joint captains for one year there

Not working

Was the clear turning point in the game. He marks and goals and the result could have flipped the other way!

Players do drop simple marks from time to time, but the falling over and being totally removed from the contest without any contact is a rarity. Was like he lost every bit of coordination he has.

Yeah, I mean the writing was on the wall when the contract talks didn’t resume fully, the shock happened at that time when we heard Poort was circling and then the infamous airport interview. We knew he was gone then. It was a shock, I think we all just expected he would re-sign, repay the club for standing by him.

Really disappointing tbh. Yes we kept him on the list for 2 years when someone of “lesser” talent may have been cut, but the club did do a LOT for him, time and resources over and above almost every other player on the list.

Poort may have a real problem on their hands at some point in the future

Hinkley really should've been gone at the end of 2018 when they missed finals after being 11-4. Heck, Port fans were calling for his head in 2016, and, still, here we are seven years on!

He has his favourites. He’d never criticize Ken, Kochie, Davies, Rozee of JHF.

Koch - Cornes calls out chairman’s “stupid” comments after he “felt the angst”
Ken - 'Harden up': Kane Cornes doubles down on criticism of former club

 

[Anzacpaul]

I think Hinkley will go to the Gold Coast in some capacity. I'm not a huge Josh Carr fan as a coach but looks like he is heading for the senior role.

What they still have going for them is Rozzee and JHF are elite players that they will be able to retain for their entire career.

I would not put it past JHF to jump ship if port finish outside the 8 for the next couple of years.

History shows that Kane folded after getting pressure from the club after that “Harden Up” episode

Nah he's secured the bag. Time will tell if that makes him a jogger for the next 5 years.

They are going to have to watch butters...i have a hunch that he might be tempted to leave to go back to victoria along with a few others in the next offseason or 2...they had better be careful or that rebuild could have the wheels start to fall off...they are nit really going anywhere and just wont pull the trigger to get rid of ken

Houston also pretended to cop a head knock in the 4th quarter too. Around 8:40 left.

That was after he tried the tough guy act and picked a fight.

He will be gone this year, there’s no way they could give him another contract. I think they don’t have the money to sack him now, they’d have to pay Carr more money to take over for the rest of the season. Port will have a new coach next year, the writing is on the wall, unfortunately, I’ll miss hinkley in the box drinking his coke

That’s relevant? He’s a quality player. Has enough seniority in that group to be captain, would certainly be a better choice than Jonas.

So pivotal. 12 minutes to go it turned a 10 point lead into a 2 point deficit. From the dropped mark onwards we kicked 6 goals to their 2 points.

Ya wanna talk about season defining moments - thats a significant one.

If they still had Robbie Gray, they win

Reckon we’ll be saying that a lot

And that seems to be totally forgotten, they lost Gray and Amon who were replaced by JHF (who will be good but not yet) and Junior Willy. In addition, Boak is another year older and won’t be the dominant player he once was.

So are they stronger or weaker this year? I’m going with the latter.

And us? We are definitely a stronger team with Rankine added plus natural growth.

Boak is a shell of his former self. I think his rib injury is worse than they are letting on.

Kane: "Is there anything to gain by putting pressure on Hinkley now (at Round 3)?"

Good to see that Kane's measure of when the media should put pressure on someone is only when it's convenient.

Let's see if he uses that attitude consistently.

Cornes said on Footy Classified, Boak is playing sore
