I respect his ability to pull a rabbit out of the hat to save his job (but loath it even more). My issue is, and has been for ten years, he doesn’t know how to lead a group to win the biggest games in a season. When the pressure is off Port play like prime Real Madrid, when there is any expectation (even minimal), it’s like Newcastle 1996You kinda gotta respect it at this point.
The team was performing so poorly, it inspired the GM to go on radio and suggest the list was ‘not good enough’ — despite having blown infinite picks and salary cap topping up a 17-win team in full pursuit of a flag — a move Kane Cornes praised for its ‘honesty’(!), resulting in internal and external expectations flatlining.
Now, oddly, a group teeming with talent is clicking on all cylinders against a highly-ranked opponent, and all the praise is going to go to the goose who can’t beat a crappy Crows outfit, routinely sh¡ts his pants in September, and even managed to lose to Dimma’s Suns for the first time ever.
Lol.
