Hi my name expat me dumbNope. We've been in the top 4 for four of the past six years - I have an expectation that we stay in the top four. I like winning and I like making finals and if we're changing coaches we're only doing it to improve not go backwards. Anything else is untenable.
I’d bet my house at the first sign of Carr stumbling he has a dig at the supporter base.
Something like “ where are the boos for Carr?” or “Carr needs to turn it quickly or the boos will come from the supporters”
He can’t help himself. He’s still throwing backhanders at Luke Darcy over some BS commentator spat from 5 years ago.
That being the case, I assume if we had the option of being coached by the all time VFL/AFL record holder for the most games coached without making a Grand Final, you'd be against that?Our club is not sh*t. And there's nothing wrong with saying I want a GF - I beleive that's what we exist for.
The whole idea of a new coach for me is a coach that gets us to a grand final otherwise why bother changing?
Sent a message to Tredrea earlier today. Not sure he'll respond but thought I'd post it here just in case anyone was interested.
That Hawthorn game was a family favourite for us - but I'm not paying 6 memberships a year to see us go backwards. I like how much we win - I don't like losing finals but I definitely prefer to get to them. The whole idea of a new coach for me is a coach that gets us to a grand final otherwise why bother changing?

Both.Fans or management?
At the risk of being called an old campaigner (and one of those is correct ) and I know I'm not the only one who posts here, but growing up in the 1950's as a Port supporter the feeling the team was invincible regardless of the opposition was absolutely genuine.Both.
this cap in hand, forelock tugging, there to make up the numbers little old blue collar club from Alberton BS, that has been foisted on us
Of course they are the problem. That's not even debatable.I find it odd that the board have to be convinced of Hinkley's failures, these people like them or not are not stupid, they come from all areas in business.
If they are looking at the results and facts over a period of time, any half decent business person would vote to remove Ken.
You have to ask if they can't conclude the obvious, they themselves are the problem, Hinkley is the result.
So it looks like seeing the back of Ken is not the end of our issues, we do really need a complete review of the club as a whole, everybody including board members should be questioned.
For what it's worth I can see Ken back in 2025, if he can negotiate a trigger in his remaining year for at least a preliminary final win, otherwise I believe the pressure might be to mighty, even for Teflon Ken
Let's see if the club can make the call, if they don't it just proves that Ken isn't really the main issue, it's gutless comfortable people over seeing this mess
I'd rather improve to a top 1 status, instead of wallowing in the top 4 and not going any further. This bloke is NOT a finals coach, and until we get a coach who can consistently help us win finals, then what's the point?Nope. We've been in the top 4 for four of the past six years - I have an expectation that we stay in the top four. I like winning and I like making finals and if we're changing coaches we're only doing it to improve not go backwards. Anything else is untenable.
You want a grand final, but you also want Hinkley. Good luck with that.Our club is not sh*t. And there's nothing wrong with saying I want a GF - I beleive that's what we exist for.
