Toast The media....*Nods Head*

[Duck Farmer]

Part of me wants to believe that Port knew that any premiership win in 2020 or 2021 would be given the asterisk treatment due to the following statement in that article

Seems legit. Plays well with the "making finals is overrated" narrative.

 

[Steve Dore]

Kenny Hinkley threw the 2021 PF because he didn't want to win a flag that may be seen by some to have an asterisk attached.

You couldn't make this stuff up.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Part of me wants to believe that Port knew that any premiership win in 2020 or 2021 would be given the asterisk treatment due to the following statement in that article:

"Everything lined up in the Power’s favour in those two years too – no hubs, home finals, sleeping in their own beds."

The more people write this sort of sh*t, the more it just rubs me the wrong way.

Akin to the sort of shite Graham Cornes would say prior to a showdown "if Port don't win this by 10 goals they'd see it as a loss".

It's also factually incorrect. We were part of the first hub. Funny how that all got forgotten once the Vics moved in.

I think the fact that we just got on with playing footy and didn’t spend the whole time in the hub whinging about it and getting into strife, like some of the vics did, makes it easier to forget we were in one at all.

Every club's make or break for season 2022

Make finals, win the flag or avoid the bottom four? ESPN's AFL experts have put their heads together to come up with every club's pass mark for the 2022 season.

As she said herself, it was a Footy Bachelorette on Twitter. The last two contenders were Freo and us. We won.

I have no idea who she is, though.

US sport producer and reporter. Always handy to make connections in that market. She is followed by Daniel Norton so the club is aware of her.

She is Regina Ham.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

She is Regina Ham.

Sounds like a Dr Seus character

 

[Doctor Feel]

Regina Ham surely isnt a real name

Sister in law to Delmenica Whiting

That is exactly what I was thinking!

After the game tonight and watching the coverage on Seven I thought I'd use this thread to ask the rest of the board what people thought of Shaun Burgoyne

boundary commentary during the game?

He was alright. It's Wayne "i glassed my girlfriend and pumped my best friend's wife" Carey i have great trouble listening to.

I thought he was pretty astute and insightful.

article on Port’s forward line?

It’s a bit of a ramble but it’s pretty much the most public, accurate, portrayal of the reality of the forward set up I’ve seen in the media.

It doesn’t attack any coaching (but it’s implied) but it’s good to see this spotlight applied outside of this forum.

Is there a link you can post?

 

[Port85]

It’s an Advertiser link I didn’t pay for. I read it off the Ken Oath FB page

 

[PowerLil]

That's surprising! How did a negative article slip past the Hinkley-lovers' keen eyes?

I know! Rocky has a podcast at the club now too. He’ll probably get a talking to today

Yep. I think it is accurate and yes, fills space. I thought it was good but obvious to us. Personnel, or lack thereof, should not affect structures. It’s on the coaches.
