Freo will pump us.. like Essendon did when we had nothing to play for. We are mentally challenged and with nothing in the line watch Freo win this easily.

They won't get within 10 goals

When was the last time a coach that failed to win a final for 5 years went on to win a flag at the same club?

If you meant who has won finals with a club, then went 5 years and didn't win a final, survived that and then won a flag, the answer in none since expansion of comp in 1987.

My distinct lack of care about missing out on finals saddens me.
I think I’m done. I feel nothing.

Sadly, it's the same for me... It's bizzare

Jasper is ******* awesome!
fu** all you campaigners who booed him in R6.

He smacked rozee that's why I booed him.

They'll make the 8.

That would be a question for Gerard Whateley

Gerard Whateley thinks Kens on the verge of a three-peat.

Hardwick.

Buckley was 1 minute away from doing the same last year

How good is Clarkson, what a great coach.

Yep, I still hate his guts though.
And those on here whinging because Ken isn’t like Clarko. Well guess what, neither are 16 other coaches.
Once in a generation and was gifted some massive talent to get the Hawks going, and now, on reputation and success, players clamour to play for him.
A viscious cycle where the best get better and the rest scramble for the scraps.
**** him.

fu** him.

All credit to him.

It's the most obvious case of - when you look in the box all I see is Clarko..... I would not know who his assistants are at all, you don't need to keep surrounding yourself with new assistants when the head coach is so good.

I forgot to add made the finals just once in 5 years.

But REH's classification if having previously won a final works too.

It’s been slowly getting to this stage for about the last 2-3 years.
I used to be footy 24/7 would never miss a match on tv but now the best is checking my phone now and then for the scores.
It’s not the winning or loosing it’s the way we lose over and over again.
No heart no commitment no desire and with Ken no hope.
Maybe a new coach with new direction will change all this but it’s going to take a lot for me to get the interest back in footy and Port Adelaide.

Yep, something has gone very very wrong. Such despondency is common now.

We all know today, if the crows win, we will win by about 75 and miss out. If the crows lose we will win by about 120

I love Rozee but Rozee reacted like Sergio Ramos.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

So at the moment we need an extra 95 pts to get into the finals, ie Freo to kick 0. So we basically have to win by 100+ pts

Basic scenario.

I'm barracking for Jacko tomorrow.

If Billy was playing I'd be barracking for him to kick 12 against Freo.

Goodbye Ken.

The players will go to bed tonight knowing they have SFA chance of playing finals.

This mentally weak group and coach will capitulate.

Nothing to play for so we'll thrash them by 98 pts and miss finals by 1 pt margin. Players and coach will praise themselves for bouncing back and promise to work hardery for longery to get more useless free agents in the off season.

First positive thing he’s had to say or do about his old team since he left 8 years ago.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Don Pyke basically conceding defeat in the finals race in the pre-game interview, nice attitude m8. Dogs will win this one by 10 goals, the Crows have given up.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Why is Ted laughing? Pyke been sacked?

Did he stop by the tip and pick up Lever's jumper?
