Surely though, you have to admit that it's the coaches job to get them playing his way and executing? If he can't then he needs to put players on the park that will. If you haven't done that after 10+ seasons then I would question his ability or judgement. Once again, there are coaches that have actually made grand finals that have had that call made in less time. Also, do you Believe for one minute that Ken wouldn't be lapping up the credit if we'd gone a couple of steps further? By his own admission, this is the best list he's had! Better than those he took to a prelim! I don't blame Ken for EVERYTHING, but jeez surely we are out of excuses. Maybe Warren Treadrea should be coach because he seemed to be able to motivate our group more with a few sentences on a podcast than Ken could in two finals appearances this year.

Great post
Cahill had a great gift for instilling confidence in players, he convinced average players like fiacchi & Delaney that they were champions and they played accordingly.
Yet we have dumbass telling a group of our players that they have nothing more to offer.

Lycetts last 4 games have all been losses
Hayes last 4 games have all been wins
Lycett gives our mids nothing
Negates our tactical advantage
Was benched in the first ten minutes in the 2 finals

**** knows why we didn't use Drew or even Boak more in clearances. They were the only real winners all night in the contest and instead we stuck them on the wing whilst persisting with Wines and Rozee who couldn't get near it.CBAs - DFS Australia

Another Hinkley masterclass in not making any game day changes and sticking with a failing game plan.
That's as close as I have seen to an admission he was wrong.

Lycett played in almost all the games our midfield was torched (i think he missed the second showdown?)
Played a couple of reasonable games midseason.
I agree with this, I look at our list and they really all do look like kids compared to other teams
We came 5th but just got over the line on multiple occasions. Overall a pass to good considering the problems we had. Won a lot of games, club it still growing, players want to come here.
Unfortunately in the end the list was to banged up. Had structural deficiencies from the get go. Held together by a break out year for our young midfield.
Now we also have some overrated players also. (Wines & Duursma-pls no more arrows), the other under-performers have excuses because they either didnt have the ability in the first place (Mcentee and dbj) or have passed it, (boak, lycett) and the others banged up or undersized for the job.
Good thing is they have a young ruckman in the wings and will recruit the Geelong defender.
Need to fix up the wings and find another onballer.
So 6 changes to the side that ran out last night. (Lycett, McKenzie, dbj, mcentee, boak, wines, dursma)
Let’s see what Cripps can do.

Going out in straight sets (losing to teams we comprehensively beat in the regular season) is not a pass-good result, its a fail.
Considering Hinkley started the year claiming this was the best list he's ever had and we are 3 years into to the CEOs 5 year plan, during which we were aiming for 3 flags this year has been another comprehensive failure.
Popping over to the comments section of ports official facebook... so many apparently happy with the season and proud of the effort. It's baffling.
We're all doomed. Just another irrelevant Saint Kilda/Fremantle/Roos franchise.

The last quarter against Collingwood finished our season
When we beat gws, they did not show up. They were as pathetic as us, worse. We are overrated in comparison to the other top sides and it didn’t take a straight set loss in the finals to prove that. Some here seem surprised. You get found out against better teams especially when you don’t have depth and your list is as banged up as ours.
Do u really think that’s a premiership list? 5 players on that list/ side that would struggle to make an impact on any list in the comp.
I assume bots and/or Jordan are removing any dissenting posts as soon as they're made.
It's all part of the mission accomplished messaging the Club has curated. A jump from 10th to 5th was deserving of accolades (and a contract extension), but we had no right to expect more.

He would wipe the floor with some of the players last night
Anyone else notice that for some reason last night any time the ball went near the boundary line, our players just totally switched off.
Numerous occasions it went near the boundary and we just came to a stand still. Meanwhile, the ball remained in play and the Giants just ran away with it while we were busy just watching and caught flat footed.
Wasn’t just a once of incident either which was frustrating. Happened at least 4-5 times that I can remember with a few resulting in easy goals. Burton, Boak and SPP were all guilty of this.
Just another sign that we just weren’t mentally switched on and focused. It’s the basics that we don’t do half the time. Play the ball until the whistle.

Rozee side by side with Green in the first and stops, letting Green run off and snap a goal.

Haha "one of us". Nah, I said at the beginning of the year that I was willing to give Hinkley clear air until the finals series. The right thing for him to do now is resign but he wont because he obviously has the self belief which is normal for people who put their hand up to be coach. Not many resign (Hartwig knew he had another gig).
The one thing I'm not going to do is get on to the sack Hinkley thread and post adnauseum with personal digs on what he drinks, where he sits, who he hugged, and whether he smiled at the wrong time. He just needs to go - unfortunately nothing I write here will make that happen.

Notice Zac Butters copping a lot of flack for his action in being pissed off at the GWS water girl not moving while he was taking a shot at goals. A bit of sanity has prevailed from someone who actually knows the rules.
Runners are instructed to move themselves and any obstacles from the path of a footballer needing space to take a set shot - this woman did nothing and the umpire failed to direct her to do so. As harsh as it looked, Zac was totally in the right to get her stuff out of the friggin way.

I am so mad that Butters was focused on kicking a goal instead of win nicest guy on the planet award.
Including the game against GWS where he was up against Briggs.
Has there been any media backlash from last night's match or the protected species act has been enabled for Ken and Koch?

Got to point out Roger Delaney was not an average player I would back his kicking against 99% of the current AFL list. He was also drafted to a VFL side
