How are we tracking on all this?Let me tell you what's going to happen. This way you can prepare yourself.
On the weekend, Port will demolish Collingwood. They will do this because Collingwood is in the top four because of a bottom six fixture and, in spite of what people think, Port would be a top four side if Dixon had played every game of the season. The club will point to this as being proof positive of the connection that the players have with Hinkley, the media will say that beating a top four side away from home proves that Hinkley is the right man for the job. The BigFooty Port forum will protest....you'll probably threaten to not renew your memberships...but in the end, Hinkley will coach Port Adelaide in 2023.
The reason Hinkley will coach in 2023 is the same reason why you think he shouldn't. You're right that people staying away from the club will hurt the club's bottom line and force them to act. But one of the home games remaining this year is against the enemies (points to a picture of Dawson kicking the goal that probably cost us a spot in the finals) of your enemies (points to a photo of Hinkley smiling on the boundary). And while the club can't use injuries and form as an excuse as to why they couldn't get the job done against Melbourne, Fremantle or Geelong - which proves that they probably wouldn't have won the flag this year anyway - sometimes all that is required to get the majority of people onside is the prospect of a complete demolition of Adelaide in the last game of the season.
So, the last four games of the season have now become a referendum, by the players and the supporters who attend the Richmond and Adelaide games, on whether Hinkley should be given an extension that the club didn't have to give him if people had just kept their mouths shut. What do people think is going to happen if we get two 35k+ crowds to the remaining two home games, when we are averaging 27k for the year? The club is going to see the sticker and the discontent as being from an increasingly irrelevant group of supporters on this forum, and marginalise the people who post here even further.
That sticker was a ******* stupid move. And every person who supported it is as ******* dumb as Dixon accuses them of being.
