Bailey Smith on the left?
And his coaching record at Collingwood? Premierships?The beauty of having Buckley for me if he were to coach (and not sure he would) is that he has that connection to the high standards we use to have and he knows the supporter base. Don't think co captain's would have happened under his watch and if it was mooted he would be the one selling it/taking the heat for explaining it (unlike some).
He also has premiership memories ingrained through experience.
Not saying we should rule out someone without a link as a good smart communicator with nous is the number one target whomever that is but after the damage done in alienating the supporter base I think it might be good for the club to have someone that speaks and understands our language (e.g. we exist to win premierships does not mean we riot each year if we don't if effort is there,).
Not confident in the game plan
SchofieldWow that is stark. We've gone from no.1 in the comp last year for defensive-mid turnover goals to f*n 18th!
Who was our midfield coach last year?
That says it all really, doesn't it.Schofield
So what you are saying is we are fragile enough to go from top to bottom in a stat with two of the soldiers missing?I think a lot of this is no Alir no Clurey. The way our back line pushed up to the defence mid meant Clurey Alir and maybe rarely McKensie would intercept. Tom Jonas doesn’t have the same effect.
That's why this 0-5 start falls squarely with Hinkley. Creating a gameplan that is so reliant on one player is ludicrous and fraught with danger.Pretty much confirms what I wrote in the Big ******* Dix thread after I bumped it, after we lost to Hawthorn.
No Charlie, No port Adelaide under Hinkley's bomb it to Charlie game plan. Players in the defensive mid position can't see Charlie and are lost what to do next.

I'm calling bullshit on this one, I believe you are attempting to deflect
Bravo - finally some sense talked on this show! This has been a bugbear of mine for years - especially the ones who are still flippin the flippin ball around as they are running in to kick it...
At 1.26 Lloyd says - the ball isn't perfectly shaped.
I still remember on Talking Footy in their first year in 1995, they were talking about goal kicking and Blight brought up that footys aren't perfectly shaped and said you get left sided stitched footys and sometimes right sided stitched footys and that affects your goal kicking and you have to compensate for that sometimes.
Mike Sheahan in that dumbfound opened mouth look on his face, was shocked what he was saying, and Bruce shook his head and said something like only you would notice that Malcolm. I remember Blight got shirty that they didn't believe him.
As a retired amateur footballer of only a few years, I knew exactly what Blight was talking about, and thought when was the last time those 2 bozos had looked closely at a footy? Now rarely did I have a new footy at training, but we had those that had been used for a half a game or two and got new footys for most games and I regularly saw they weren't perfectly shaped.
It's simple attention to detail that modern day pro footballers seem to miss, because they probably spend too much time in meetings, running around practicing back and forth running between HB to HF, and sports scientists that don't let them do much extra goal kicking, that they miss the simple little things.
One day someone involved in Aussie Rules is going to come up with the equivalent of the Dutch Coerver method of skills development and skills technique learning, in particular around goal kicking and general kicking and make $20 million from it.
There are so many kids whose parents pay $2,000 to $3,000 a year in Oz and the purchasing power monetary equivalent in other countries around the world, to be taught the basic skills using the Coerver method. Its easily an annual billion dollar industry around the world that employs a lot of people. It helps that kids start as young as 7 or 8 but do take it up at 11 or 12 and attend coaching sessions for years if they want to have a pro or semi pro career.
Choco has started doing it a bit with his Kick Doctor / Champion Teams set up, but someone will take it to the next level like Wiel Coerver did in the mid 70's and nearly 50 years later its a huge industry and copy cat courses around the world.
GremioPower what happens in Brazil for the kids of parents who can afford to pay for their kids to go these structured training schools? Is Coerver used or is there another(s) Brazilian methodologies used at the development programs? Brazil exports more footballers than nearly the rest of the world combined. What sort of percentage of these players would have good thru these development programs over many years starting when they were 6 or 8 or 10??

This is awesome…
I remember a few years back in an AFL website post-match report they said we played a game at "Port Adelaide Oval".
BT, JB and Darc just don’t do it at all for me! Wish there were less egos commentating the gamesTurned on AA to listen to Gold Coast v Freo game and they have taken SEN's AFL Nation call - and under the overarching radio deal Hutchy did when he was boss of CrocMedia back in late 2016 (for 2017-22 radio rights), before SEN acquired CrocMedia visa a share swap and Hutchy became their CEO in early 2018, SEN can't have an AFL call on at the same time as AA does unless AA has a Port or crows game on, so they have a SANFL game on this arvo. I think under the agreement SEN can do the Sunday twilight game if its not a Port or crows game.
[Same sort of set up in Melbourne with 3AW and in Perth with 6PR]
After a few minutes I noticed Matt Hill was calling the game along with SEN's tennis guy Brenton Phillips, and Kane and Liam Pickering doing the special comments.
Looks like 7 have ditched the idea of Matt Hill calling AFL games and are happy with their 6 main callers, Hame, BT, Darce, JB, Alister Nicholson and Jason Bennett.
Great to see some outlets are able to see it for what it is.I wanted to dislike this, but I just can’t disagree with much of it.
Don't let their winning streak fool you, Port are still bang average
With a 4-5 record after nine rounds, Port Adelaide have been one of the AFL’s most disappointing teams in 2022. If ever we needed…www.theroar.com.au
