Yeah we ran up the score a bit during our famous 13 in a row™ and then violently shit the bed in both finals, aside from Lord's QF cameo.

I was watching some clowns on SEN You Tube trying to say that Port should be better than what we are and that we are strategically very poor, while implying but not saying that Hinkley is a shit coach.
I think some are getting onto the correct agenda but aren't allowed to jump on the train.

NO! What at least I'm saying is that Hayes should have been playing mid-season while Lycett was obviously injured and maybe the big game that Lycett played against Western Bulldogs might have been a final instead. Lycett was clearly our number 1 ruckman when he wasn't banged up injured.
So we need a 6'10" ruck who can run 20 metres in 1.9 seconds and can outrun Blicsavs, all the while being a crafty ruck who taps the ball to advantage and averages 3 goals per game and creates frontal pressure, and gets more than 2 tackles per game and more implied frontal pressure.
But no pressure and you'll get dropped Hinkley mantra.
Lol the GWS ruck that destroyed Lycett was who Hayes easily beat when we won by 50 points.
Despite what Ken says about losing more with youth, real possibility that we are in the prelims with this switch.
Yeah maybe, we'll never know. All we know is as long as we have Donuts our perfect record of zero premierships since 2004 will not be in danger.

We were third in scoring and finished top four with a defensive line that was patched together after Jonas completely fell off a cliff and Lycett was banged up for half the year.
We've brought in not one, but two guys who should be able to at least replicate that production of Lycett at his best next year, and hopefully better it...plus not one but two key defenders who will allow Aliir to do what he does best.
And yet here you are bitching about Sam Hayes and John Butcher, as though they would have been the difference to winning and losing finals.

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Jordon Sweet is a better footballer than Sam Hayes.We were third in scoring and finished top four with a defensive line that was patched together after Jonas completely fell off a cliff and Lycett was banged up for half the year.

He may well have more impact for us than Sam Hayes did of course, but that is based on coaching whims rather than on talent.
Our midfield carried us to 13 in a row, when they dropped off there was nothing as we stacked up the injuries forward and back.
We have tried to address those failures in this draft.
Give the Hinkley obsession a rest at least in the off season.
Where is Sam Hayes?
Enjoy

This is the kind of pathetic cop out you'd expect from a Glenelg or South supporter.
There was absolutely no excuse for the meek capitulations in our last 3 finals. Remember when this club used to be terrifying in finals, even if a significant underdog?
We were terrifying and now we are terrified.
Remember this when Soldo turns like the Queen Mary on Ludes.
We used to be terrifying in the SANFL, we have never been terrifying in the AFL.
Unfortunately our reputation in the AFL has been more of a team of chokers and that’s well before Hinkley set foot in the door.
A lot of things need to change to wind the clock back 25 years.
A part of that is definitely the coaching staff but we also need to improve our list as I believe we have made some effort to do this year.
I have no problems with the players we delisted this year and like what we have drafted.
I support the players because they are the ones that will bring us success one day.
Agree. It's like expecting to win the 2004 flag without Primus and Francou.

I support the club and I support the players, coaches and admin that live up to the Creed.
All the other "no hopers" I couldn't care less about aside from wanting to see them removed ASAP.

Yep almost like we're meh on the footballer question but expecting Sweet be a better athlete than Sam.
As for our as yet unsacked "coaching whim" my initial concern is that Dante still gets the development time at SANFL level instead of being shuffled away somewhere else.

Dante is a reasonable chance to start in the AFL side.
Highly doubt he'll play a game at AFL level in 2024.

Think hes a strong possibility to start the season and finish it with a few games in between.
We've recruited two mature body rucks his only hope is injuries.
Isn't presenting home and away stats that show that we are statistically "around the mark" of being a top team. While being so far away from winning anything in September just the cherry on the top that says that the coaching is what is sub-par not the players?We were third in scoring and finished top four with a defensive line that was patched together after Jonas completely fell off a cliff and Lycett was banged up for half the year.

Dante is our best Ruck that's why I think he'll start. A immature body is why I don't think he's playing more than a few games. By the end of the year he'll have matured a bit and that's why I think he'll finish as our 1st pick Ruck.
