Opinion Sack Hinkley 5 - Lower The Blinds

[Jojay]

Players in bold were in our best 22 last year. So yeah, we had significant injuries. You can cover 1 or 2 with a 'next man up' mentality, but not that many.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Laughable post. Bergman, Duursma and Clurey are all borderline best 22 and Lycett ****ing sucks. Any club that can't make finals with that injury list doesn't deserve to make finals.

Carlton's injury list has been twice as bad as ours all year and they're sitting comfortably in the 8.

 

[TeeKray]

OK, some of those outs certainly make it more difficult to beat Brisbane, Melbourne and Carlton. But we also lost to Hawthorn and Adelaide. That's hard to rationalise with injuries.

Sitting 12th after 15 rounds is unacceptable, After tens years the injuries excuses not wash

 

[JimmyBC]

Should've beaten Hawthorn & Adelaide if half the squad were down with Covid.

Some people are never out of excuses.

 

[Janus]

Duursma was dropped not injured.

And what about Wines who I forgot missed against Carlton? Was he dropped?

 

[tribey]

And what about Wines who I forgot missed against Carlton? Was he dropped?

Went down 50 points without him.

Came back from 50 points down without him.

 

[Schulzenfest]

And what about Wines who I forgot missed against Carlton? Was he dropped?

The same game that Patrick Cripps missed? The one that Carlton just came out and won rather than whingeing and making excuses? Like how they beat Freo on the weekend without Cerra, Weitering, Williams, McGovern, Martin and Pittonet.

In reality as the year progressed Bergman, Gray, Duursma haven’t even been in any form to be in the best 22.

Isn’t talking about last year being similar to this year hypothetical?

We've got a long way to go to be as good as Carlton.

So what you're saying is you disagree with Ken's Squad Mentality "doesn't matter who's out".

Oh wait, it's Ken too that now disagrees with himself.

 

[tribey]

But was the roof shut? How was the humidity?

The statement was that we didn’t have significant injuries, when it’s clear that we did. You can say other teams have had it just as bad or whatever, but that doesn’t make it any less true. And I haven’t even bothered to mention Fantasia through any of it because him ever getting on the park this year is going to be a bonus.

You can still hold your opinion that Hinkley should be sacked and acknowledge that we had injuries at the start of the year. It’s not that big a deal.

 

[Powerade 08]

Just waiting for big scotty lycett to get back, then its total football time

 

[Jojay]

Lol Janus is Jordy

 

[Janus]

The way Teakle plays is closer to Total Football than Lycett.

 

[JimmyBC]

35 minutes in & he's the key to total football.

 

[Loony Juice]

Or Griffith relocating to the port? Did someone mention concrete boots?

It's only a joke

Absolutely, it's only a joke about the concrete boots

In this day and age a natural, biodegradable product would be much more appropriate

 

[Loony Juice]

We’ll be pushing uphill in that regard.

I’ll never forget the wake of Primus’ resignation when 360’s Sellers Maclure said, “they should hire Mark Bickley, they hate Victorians over there”.

Nearly as much as we 'hate' Bickleys

Yes we had injuries just like every other football team every year in history. So what?

 

[Loony Juice]

But was the roof shut? How was the humidity?

Low humidity

High serenity

If you didn't pick up Johann Cruyff vibes from him in that time, I don't know what you were watching.

 

[PowerLil]

I never mentioned Wines. You said Duursma was out injured. He was not.
