Autopsy Review 2022 R4, v. Melbourne (The most sackable game in AFL history?)

[gtrxuone]

Ken might be preparing us for the rebuild.We will get first pick in the draft.

 

[PowerBaz]

If Hayes can’t get a game why did we let Ladhams go?

Useless campaigners.

 

[Miss December]

Word is Hayes can't grasp the game plan... if this is why he is not playing, we are screwed from Hinkley to Lokan...

Do we know of anyone who can? Anyone?

 

[RangaInTeal]

Two weeks we have stick fat with the blokes from last week, time to swing the axe...

Play Lord over Mayes, Play Rozee on the ball instead of Dumont, shoot even play Burgmann on the ball over Boak...

AND for crying out loud, HAYES MUST PLAY!

 

[Lightning_Rod]

Word is Hayes can't grasp the game plan... if this is why he is not playing, we are screwed from Hinkley to Lokan...

Some may say the entire team can't grasp it, maybe that's a coaching issue not a player issue. What a disaster this is turning into

 

[Coobk001]

Oliver and Petracca apparently had their lowest possession tally combined in ages. Shows how well our middle held up, despite the complete failure to connect with the forward half.

 

[Byrons Firen]

It's not healthy how much I hate Ken Hinkley.

 

[tribey]

Just think, in the next few hours Rooch will hatch an article attacking us for not turning up.

 

[Mikey13G]

The same way as we 'just' lost to Brisbane in Brisbane and lost 'after the siren' in the Showdown. It is the game, it is the style, it is the desire, intent, desperation, the ball move movement, the forward entries...

Exactly. A few junk time goals flattered us.

Fox footy John Ralph has gone bang!-
"For Ken Hinkley. Last pre-season Ken Hinkley said that the Power would win multiple Premierships. Now on February 24 he said that "this club believes in winning Premierships and we set out in 2022 to win the Premiership". That's the litmus test and that's the comparison point and that's the measuring stick for a 0-4 start and it is utterly catastrophic. So it's not the end for Ken Hinkley, but it could be the start of the end. It's the kind of loss that gets the President, the board room, discussing what can we do about this situation. He's got 19 months on a contract that was only signed last January. Now almost every coach nowadays has a 6 month payout clause, so if you want to call that $400,000, at some stage it gets to the situation where it's a business decision. Do we lose more than $400,000 in memberships and marketing and all of the things that obviously fall away if the fanbase goes against you. So he has 18 weeks to try and turn it around, that stat that you keep talking about- Only 1 in the last 33 teams has been able to recover from a 0-4 start to play Finals, and that was Sydney and they got wiped out in the first week. He's got to do something extraordinary to try and save his job".

There's absolutely no point in reviewing this game, or player performance for this week. We all knew it was going to happen, and Melbourne only played 60% of what they're capable of, and we played not to get belted, and still got belted.

That effort is symptomatic of a coach who has lost the players, and a chairman who accepts this crap and attacks the fans instead of holding the players and coach accountable for this crap. It's not changing until one or both of them are gone.

If serving up that embarrassment after two previous home embarrassments isn't enough to sack Ken tomorrow, then Koch must go with him. No amount of rosey emails and other bullshit will change it. This rot needs to stop now.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Watching us going forward it’s like four 20 meter kicks to players under pressure have to all work out in our favour so we can hopefully snap a goal.

How crazy is that thinking.

It's only been happening 6 years!

 

[finbarr]

Just think, in the next few hours Rooch will hatch an article attacking us for not turning up.

Well, he won't be showering in that time.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Thanks for making the thread, but I'm sure I can't read it without actually vomiting.

 

[JimmyBC]

Meh let Ken keep making shit team selections he's hanging himself, why stop it.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Our whole playing group has regressed, except maybe burton and georgiadis

every senior player has regressed, how is that possible

every young player has stagnated.

we Have no brand of footy, we flip and change almost each quarter.

 

[gtrxuone]

Our tactics in the first half was to stop Melbourne flogging us.And keep the floodgates closed..It was never a plan that had factured in a Port victory,imo.Terrible coaching.

 

[PowerBaz]

I reckon we need a new coach.

 

[Byrons Firen]

We are digging ourselves into a hole. In order to get out, our coach wants us to work harder. So, we dig harder.

^ POTY contender

Jones continuously flying and leaving bloke on deck to crumb and having no impact on contest is detrimental to what we are trying to do, reminds me of Campbell Brown at the minute.

Houston was quiet.

Jonas was Jonas and expected, Leaders would stand up when we have gone a half without score, part of the problem.

DBJ, trade him - going no where with him here!

Burton isn't a defender, made to look good in structured teams previously. Best bet on a Wing or Half Forward, Clarkson knew it.

Bonner was the best of this lot, but 37 pointless possessions didn't hurt the oppo, a victim of terrible coaching and a moronic game plan.

37 possessions for bonner, had to look that up, he had no impact, and what he did wrong was more glaring than the 37 possessions, he is also the slowest player that you think would be quick looking at him in the side.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Presser out yet?

 

[malcheski]

Well, he won't be showering in that time.

Of course he won’t. He only recently had one and isn’t due again until August.

Really wish we had a more mature sack culture in Aussie Rules, instead of waiting until the list is shot and about to be relegated to the Conference before ‘maybe, perhaps, possibly, regrettably, it might be time?’

I don't think it's an Aussie problem... I think it's a port problem

[port_adelaide_1870]

People need to give up on Hayes, I saw him play against Adelaide last week, so bad, so slow. Won’t be anything, honestly makes Lycett look good and that’s near impossible.

We have terrible ruckman atm

Surely on current form assuming he'll be given another 18 games is rather optimistic?
