Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[Duck Farmer]

Saw this list of average ladder positions for each team since 2013 on reddit.

No, don't ask me why some of it is not in order.

lol - of the Top 13 teams on that list, all have either won premierships or played in grand finals over that period except the team sitting in 3rd.

Pretty good presser by Hinkley.

The word confidence was used quite a lot early in the piece. Good.

I am sure he was told by Daniel Norton in advance not to talk negatively about finals like last year's trainwreck presser.

The Q was whether the last 2 QF wins against Geelong mattered. To which he answered nah not at all. Which is of course the correct response.

He seemed to keep it very much positive and didn't let the cat out of the bag with selections.

Very measured and good to see.

When quizzed about previous finals' performances, Hinkley immediately avoided that question claiming previous history matters nought. Well of course Ken, you would say that with your appalling history.

Lmao

The hypocrisy of this being the same guy who 12 months ago said GWS should think about how the last time we played them, they lost. Then Kingsley came over and absolutely alpha-sigma-Chadded all over donuts.

This is cope.

I don't really know how 5AA still exists. It was a meme old persons radio channel 30 years ago, and radio died about 10x over since then.

Someone should tell him he is the common denominator in all of the finals flops.

8:46 of blah blah tough blah blah best as we possibly can blah blah tough.

I am impressed that you watched it, as I value my sanity.

He actually shaved. Appreciated the extra effort.

So if we choke tomoz night, Ken is potentially one game away from being done.

The answer is in the people that phone up AA.

Bogan’s, old people with dementia and not the full quid types (Lindy).
Will always be enough of those kicking around to keep the station afloat.

Doctor Feel are you feeling conflicted?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I noticed that Kane Cornes has ripped into West Coast for taking too long to find a coach which I'm ngl wonder if he's pushing the narrative before the season for us and Ken ends

Would be very disappointing if the players choked tomorrow night.
They seam to be very focused this year.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Doctor Feel are you feeling conflicted?

Nope. Course I wanna win the whole lot. I get to have a bet each way this way!

This is cope.

Disappointing comments from Timmy G. I was expecting him to say something along the lines of "yep it's poor we gotta own that and be better" instead of shooting the messenger bringing up cold hard facts.

How many premierships have Port won during this era?

One less premiership than my club since the start of 2013, who are widely renowned for being the benchmark when it comes to sustained success.
The last time we won less than 10 games in a season was 2003, and the last time Port won less than 10 games in a season was 2012.

The current top 3 clubs on the ladder happen to be the clubs with the best win rates in the competition since the start of 2013, winning culture is everything just look at the Storm in the NRL who have missed finals once in 20 years.

I understand the current 20 year premiership drought is frustrating, but Port have finished top 4 in four of the last five years and this might just be the year where they break through ala 2004.

Oh god he's back

 

[Doctor Feel]

Oh god he's back

Who?

Well you don't say. We have had the same campaigner for 12 of those 20 years. Gets a bit frustrating alright.
