Prediction One season too many - Now 2024 Edition

[Elmer_Judd]

It is funny listening to Kane Cornes tip toe around the subject though. If it were any other coach he'd have had the knives out seasons ago.

Kornes is really ruining his standing and esteem amongst the Port Adelaide faithful with his constant White Knight defending of Ken Hinkley.

Port were going to let Kornes go but when Kenny arrived, he convinced the board to offer him a new contract. That's why he wont torch him.

Compare that to some of the brutal stuff he said over the past year or so about David Teague/ Luke Beveridge etc.

He is hopelessly compromised (and a hypocrite) when it comes to Port and Kenny.

not just that, but if a new coach comes in, chances are they're getting rid of Chadbro as well. Kornes is trying to save his brother's job.

God. Jack Watts.

That 2009 QB debut was so unprofessional by Melbourne.

It destroyed him.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Too much quality to sink that far

May not make finals but we should be able to destroy the dreams of some up and coming teams on the way. Silver lining

 

[Toump Ass]

It destroyed him.

Meh he probably made a couple of million before he was 30, started his own business, had a side hustle selling baggies to a his mates, and was nailing women left and right and centre.

If that's your definition of being destroyed, immolate me please!

Destroyed from a playing footy POV.

Side hustles aren’t factored in when talking about the player.

 

[Toump Ass]

OK.

I don't really buy the "DESTROYED BY COLLINGWOOD GAME!!!!!" thing, I reckon really he just wasn't very committed to becoming a great player.
Bit soft maybe?

Could have had all those things plus a flag. Which Im pretty sure is the point being made.

Flag my arse.

Flag my arse.

Would he have been worse than Ben Brown or Tom McDonald?

It destroyed him as a footballer.

 

[Philth]

Trent Cotchin
Dylan Grimes
Jack Riewoldt

Nah, we'd be fingered without Grimes. Still need his experience down back.

 

[Golumless]

Would have been a big call based on the GF. Although maybe the dominance on the day papered over some cracks?

I dunno if it's papering over the cracks. Just it was an old squads last real shot.

To be honest though that was said about our PF loss in 2021, and our GF loss in 2020, and our PF loss in 2019, and our PF loss in 2013.

 

[Toump Ass]

Would he have been worse than Ben Brown or Tom McDonald?

Who cares. They're completely different types of players. Also I'm pretty sure Jack had retired by then.

Also FWIW the pick Port gave us for mighty Jack Watts went on the dude who kicked 6 in the grand final, first time that's been done since the 1990's thank you very much.

Posters and pundits have been predicting rain for about 15 years now. If and when it rains they will take the credit for predicting it.

If it doesn't rain they will predict rain next year.

My initial comment was actually meant to be a compliment but somehow its turned into a shit ragging of the Cats. Ive been proven wrong too many times to write them off

Wasn't commenting on your post mate, if I was I would have quoted it. Apologies if it came off that way, was a general comment.

All good mate. I expect you boys to come home with a wet sail this year. Top 4 might be a stretch now but no-one will want to cop you's first week of finals
