Hawks have so many of the weapons that we struggle with. Their speed, their possession footy, their pressure, their small forwards, intercept markers.

What's the record for the worst 5 game stretch of finals games, because we will give it a heck of a shake.

History in the making.......

is anyone actually embarrassed that Hinkley has coached this long? like when you really think about it all the different coaches that have been sacked over the years this flop has survived every year. he’s achieved **** all for this group

Like I said he has NO shame
I'd sack myself if I were ken. So embarrassing

I'm almost positive he's at West Coast next year

 

[Portology]

The entire club is full of enablers. How do they sack each other?
Koch, Ransom, Cardone, Cassisi, Davies, Richardson, Osborne, Restas ...

Remove the very few that enable the other enablers, tolerate those who might still be useful under a functional regime. At the very least Koch and Ken must go, that requires splitting the comfortable internal clique. I’m not fully sold on Richo being part of the “Axis of Mediocrity” as I feel he’s a bit downstream of the actual “direction” of the catastrophe we’ve been enduring.

I saw Jack Ginnivan at a laundrymat inside Moorabbin train station in January. He was with a friend. I looked unknowingly in his direction and we suddenly locked eyes for a couple seconds then smiled and nodded at each other. I hope he didn't think I was staring at him because he plays footy. Should I call Channel 7 or has too much time passed for this to make the news?

Did you buy?

 

[hammo24]

just another wasteful year, don’t brother showing up next week.

housten was our best when we played hawks and he’s out.

we’re not winning

 

[HINKLEY OUT]

Amon and Impey, who both did nothing in finals while playing for us, will both be the two best players on the ground, in a final, against us, at the Portress.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Probably better than our 2014 version of ourselves.

They are playing like we did in 2014, a nothing to lose attitude. We now play like we have everything to lose.

 

[philreich]

Jack Ginnivan - what a story. How many players have won back to back flags with different clubs: it might happen.

 

[HINKLEY OUT]

's 300th next week

We play scared.,it all comes from the coach.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Hawks will destroy us next week. We are the drizzling shits.

 

[JimmyBC]

They just look like they'll run us into the ground, far too enthusiastic, quick & dialed in for old Kenny's flat footed scared little buttercups.

 

[PA88]

Hawthorn have good foot skills and speed. That will trouble us. They'll be desperate to make amends for that loss that they would definitely believe should have won.

 

[Portmagpies36]

just another wasteful year, don’t brother showing up next week.

housten was our best when we played hawks and he’s out.

we’re not winning

The first quarter earlier this year against Hawthorn was one of the most one sided quarters I have witnessed the inside 50’s were 17 to 3 their way we literally couldn’t get the ball off them.
We are ****ed next week.

 

[Flash of power]

Hawks it is then, straight sets

 

[ClintEastwood]

Good, bring it the **** on, can't wait to see Wriggler try to wriggle away from certain coaching-death.

Hinkley has had more lives than a cat, but surely he can't survive this.

 

[Cam1870]

Hawthorn...it's not freakishly great players or mastermind game plan. It's just confidence and courage to take the game on. That's what coaching is supposed to engender.

 

[Portmagpies36]

They just look like they'll run us into the ground, far too enthusiastic, quick & dialed in for old Kenny's flat footed scared little buttercups.

You could not get a bigger difference in attitude between two sides. We will fold in a heartbeat we have the resilience of a nit.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I guess #freekickbulldogs is no longer a thing. 20-12 to Hawthorn.

Sorry Dogs you had your fairytale.

 

[Nelso]

Imagine if Cheese plays next week trying to keep up with Impey or Amon when they are rebounding the ball out of the backlines lol

 

[Rising Power]

Amon the new silk

 

[Portmagpies36]

Hawks it is then, straight sets

Not to mention the margin, they don’t stop running and we are as lazy as all ****.

 

[JimmyBC]

How good is it having Hawthorn setting themselves up for another era YAY!
