Chad cornes was an average shot at goal and spent the most successful part of his career in the backline. What credentials does he have to talk about goalkicking
Exactly right, we need someone like Jay Schulz to show our young forwards how to position themselves and especially how to prepare for and kick set shots.
 
It wouldn't surprise me if the club was behind this latest stunt, after they can see that not much has changed on field they are getting in ahead of the white noise. Hinkley has shown once again that he is incapable of change and sticking with the same rubbish he has dished up for years.
This will turn out to be another s**t sandwich for the Port faithful to chomp on.

it's like distracting a cat with a laser

Our forward line is disfunctional, one of the reasons is our forwards, Dixon in particular stands under the ball instead of leading and commanding the ball from the kicker. The best forwards run to the position where they want the ball to be delivered. If Dixon just stands there with 2 opponents it's a low percentage thing to do, he has to make the kicker deliver the ball to a spot he wants by making the play himself, it will then become second nature for the players to put the ball to his advantage on a lead.
Locket, Schulz, Hodges all played that way with great results but not a side coached by Hinkley.

Dixon is instructed to do this
It IS our ridiculous game plan
 
Tredrea is the poster boy from the professional AFL era in which clubs, such as his Port Adelaide, could dedicate a specialist goalkicking coach to improve his accuracy.

Tredrea, a 255-game player from 1997-2010, kicked 549 goals while topping Port Adelaide’s AFL goalkicking list eight times (1998-2001, 2003-2005 and 2009).

Tredrea’s accuracy rate was 47 per cent in his fourth AFL season of 2000 and 65 per cent in Port Adelaide’s breakthrough premiership season of 2004.

The significant moment of change for Tredrea was Port Adelaide chief executive Brian Cunningham finally settling on one coach for him in 2003 – Ben Perkins, the former Wallabies rugby specialist coach who corrected John Eales’ kicking technique.

Should have just asked Chad cornes

Tredders would've kicked at 75% if Skype existed back then and they could get some random from the UK to phone in every now and then.

I still have faith in Carr.

I reckon if he committed 100% to the Richmond job he would’ve pipped Yze, because I reckon he would’ve fitted their mould post Hardwick better.

But he wants the port job because he loves this club, and having a coach that is a passionate port man again that understands the fans and the culture excites me. After the Hinkley experiment I’d be a little wary about getting another outsider and can definitely see merit in playing this one safe.

And it’s pretty evident Carr can coach. We stripped our coaching staff back at the end of 2021 (lose Voss and Schofield and replace with no one) and paid the price but since then we’ve made only minor changes besides Monty out for Carr which had an immediate impact on on field performances, especially when Hinkley was demoted to the bench.

Whilst it still ended miserably In finals last year and we still are prone to hinkleyball we have improved since Carr arrived.

How exactly is he meant to knife Hinkley anyway? He doesn’t make the decision, that’s up to the board.
I tend to agree. I'm not prepared to write off all the assistants as trash because they are working with such a deeply flawed game plan.
 
Cahill was rightly appointed our initial coach with plans already in place for Chocco to take over. Primus got the job without much of a process after finishing off 2010 well. Hinkley never interviewed and now we are effectively looking to gift the role to Carr.
We've never held a formal application process for any of our coaches since we joined the AFL.
It's like some sort of third world autocracy without the hope of a military coup coming out to save us

We interviewed Leon Cameron.
 
I resist watching the games. Did not watch 1 minute of footy this weekend. Refreshing. I'm lead to believe it's the Gather Round Circus this weekend. What a ******* joke that s**t us. SA stumps up huge amounts of cash to fund this Victorian shitfuk league. Putrid.
Gather Round can **** right off.
Patronising bullshit.

Chris Scott was interviewed in 2010 but Primus supposedly convinced the panel with a better presentation.
