The Sack Ken thread is again blessed

Yep! The sack Hinkley locomotive is back on the rails and working up a big head of steam!
It's just a shame it was Geelong that did the job.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

The last time a top 2 team lost by a margin as big as this in their first final was the Bulldogs in 1985 against Hawthorn.

 

[Sea fog]

Butters and rozee are copping it a bit, for good reason but the horny one gets a pass because he has had some big moments, but the rest of the time he hasn’t done much. If nick’s output was at his level we’d be wondering if he was injured.

JHF has a crack, Butters has a poor finals record. Their midfield was smashed.

The Sack Ken thread is again blessed

Let's be honest, that thread will keep ticking along regardless of tonights result.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

As much as I hate Geelong I have to admire the club and the team they continue to produce and consistently over the years (since the Bomber Thompson era).

I feel the same. I can't help but admire their ability to consistently contend most years.

I think Sydney and ourselves are the next best in not bottoming out often and fronting up most years.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Good percentage booster for Geelong.Maybe that’s the problem.Port Adelaide thought they were playing in round 24 and forgot they were actually playing in a final?That’s what happens when you lose track of time.

Percentage doesn't matter in finals

Under Madhouse.

Yeah you have to hand it to them. Year after year Geelong are written off, yet that tenacious b*****d of the football club just refuses to go away.

I was being ironic.

 

[Jen2310]

Compare this, or us.
They get bruhn. Bowes and Ollie for peanuts

Good confidence booster perhaps

 

[Horaceg]

Question needs to be asked - Who does Hawkins replace? You can't take out Cameron or Neale or Mannagh, Stengle. Ollie kicked a goal.

I’d be inclined to drop Ollie Henry, just because, no real reason

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Had to make sure it was a crowded pub in case anyone missed him

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Geelong had 38 scores (20.18) tonight.

The next highest before tonight was 41 scores (19.22) from Sydney in the 2014 Prelim against North Melbourne.

.....That’s what happens when you lose track of time

It's an Adelaide thing....

Max holmes is what stings.

 

[Jen2310]

Max holmes is what stings.

Yeah
I think they drafted him purely on school footy.

 

[cakewalk_1]

Port Shit the bed at home, FM, so when we wanted them to play like this against Fremantle and make sure Cark-TON miss the finals, where was this performance !!!!!!

 

[Rorzza]

North Melbourne would have beat Port tonight!

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Port simply have to get rid of Hinkley unless they win the flag this year (which they won’t)

He’s absolutely taking the piss out of this club now

 

[JuniorB]

Max holmes is what stings.

Yes, although it's easy to say in retrospect.
We had two chances before he was drafted and we picked Ollie Henry and Fin Macrae.

They had a lot of players who were exposed when the heat was there in a finals game. JHF aside, I would take or leave the others.

As long as Koch is at the top, nothing will change.

 

[BigVic]

The AFL and the tv broadcasters must be sorely missing us this year.All of our finals matches are close,exciting affairs that go right down to the wire.Non Collingwood finals however,are usually boring,one sided games like this one tonight.

I miss seeing us and our close matches. The grand final is going go resemble 2007, 2019 and 2022

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Which poster said we should get Hinkley as an assistant coach?

Wash your mouth out.
