Why do we exist if we're not trying to be great.

This acceptance of 'good' through the Hinkley era. The "Who ya gonna get". The Gerard Whateleys of the world that can't comprehend that the fans of a reasonably competitive club would seek more. Kills me.

You give a coach, players, board, etc, a crack. You give them a few years, you persist, you back them in, you see if they can deliver on GREAT, not good, and if they can't get there, you search for the next option. It's not hard to comprehend.

Being happy just because you don't finish below 10th every year, is an acceptance of mediocrity, it goes against the whole objective of playing footy. If we don't exist to keep trying to win premierships, then we exist purely to make up the numbers, and **** that, we should ALWAYS be striving for GREAT, and premierships. Anything less is unacceptable. Winning every year is not required, but trying is. Taking risks and failing is acceptable.
 
Anyone that knows the Yabba t'Adelaide road would know of the Port graffiti on the old railway bridge near Yunta. Maybe I could go put some Sack Hinkley up on the highway?
 
Everyone keeps calling for stickerman but no one seems to be prepared to be a new stickerman.

Before you ask, I'm in Melbourne. I don't think a sticker on William Street will do anything
Can we pay someone on Fiverr to do it?
 
Whateley must be appalled at the treatment Beveridge gets in the media? He's been coaching for his job for years, despite being a premiership, 2 x grand final coach.

Funnily enough never heard anything from him regarding Bevo though.

Gerard is an absolute shit stain of the highest order, keep clutching those pearls for your hero Whateley, he's going down, and you're losing any semblance of objectivity with him.

Two of those were last year, Brisbane in round 1 and Melbourne at the death. Currently 1-2 this year, with the one win being against an equally dubious Essendon side.
 
I’ll chip in. I don’t think “sack Hinkley” would be within their T&C, but we could do something like “enough is enough. Demand better. A new future for the Port Adelaide Football Club”.

Sorta anti-Hinkley dog whistling if you will
The Dump-Ken Donuts in Dunkin Donuts livery is a good idea. Might run into trade mark issues though.
 
If we did win the 2020 flag - it would have been very much a “Covid cup, not at the MCG, doesn’t count, short quarters, no crowds, asterisk” kind of thing.

This perennial loser couldn’t even win something like that.

The horribly unfair season where everyone played each other once for the first time ever and the grand final was played at a neutral venue. Yeah, of all seasons, definitely put an asterisk on that one!
 
****ing ridiculous he would call us just bloodthirsty, ignorant people with no real thought to why we're calling for the sacking.

In their eyes, the BigFooty Party (i.e., us) is Port’s “Far-Right”.
