Eye opening you say, how so?

I was reading an old Geelong board thread from 2006 post-season, and the first reply had this: *thousand yard stare*

Hope Crows beat Norf so they can lock in that top 6 draw and be thoroughly exposed next year. I'd giggle if Bullflogs went straight out again though.

First time I saw him tonight I was like 'WTF why is tanned Chad Wingard playing off half-back?? Damn you Hink...oh' Pretty good first game. Looking forward to seeing more of him after another pre-season!

'a' game lol, we've wasted 9 games on that spud since he handballed backwards against Carlton Ken setting those high standards again :drunk:

Isn't one of you an accountant/financial stuffies? Can you pretty please explain 'sunk cost fallacy' for the idiots intellectually-challenged among us who want to stick with Hinkley because of the cost involved in paying him out? Thanks.

Made this quickly for personal curiosity and thought I'd share. 2014 Lobbe v 2016 Trengove* 24 – Games – 12 10.5 – Disposals – 18.1 6.1 – Contested Possessions – 11.4 2 – Marks – 2.2 31.7 – Hitouts – 16.1 2.9 – Clearances – 7.1 6.5 – Tackles – 5.6 0.2 – Goals – 0.4 0.2 – Behinds – 0.25...

Massive lol's watching this s**t and knowing we managed to not only lose to Freo but let Pav turn the clock back a decade and revived Barlow's AFL career for at least another game. Classic nuPorts.

Wins: 3-4 more wins for 9-10 total Remaining debutants: Bonner slim chance to debut, Butch/Hoon/Clurey may get called up but I'm not holding my breath Ladder finish: about 11-13 Top goalkicker: Dixon or Youngy What do I want to see?: players and coaches STFU'ing and just getting to work along...

lol I remember that, everyone here was super hyped to see Redden back in action and then at half-time we realised the coaches either a) knew how unfit he was and still picked him or b) had no idea. In retrospect that was probably one of the first 'alarm bells are ringing' moments.

For serious debate - these are the people doing that level 4 coaching accreditation course with the AFL Stuart Dew Matthew Nicks John Barker Blake Caracella Robert Harvey Adam Kingsley Simon Lloyd Peter Sumich Brett Montgomery Justin Longmuir Jade Rawlings Brendan Bolton & Simon Goodwin are...

Glad I checked out emotionally after last week. Knew this was coming. If Ken Hinkley is still our senior coach in 2017 it will be the last confirmation I need that this club is irreversibly ****ed.

lol GC are just so s**t - terrible fitness, terrible football sense. One of their players let Martin run past him within touching distance from half back for a handball receive into a goal from 50ish, didn't even attempt to block or stop his run just watched him jog past. They can't tackle for...

Yep you are right. In 2013 it worked wonders and we had a lot of luck go our way as well, but since then, so many moments and so many games where just a little composure would have changed results. It all adds up. Lack of composure cost us in the '13 semi against Geelong, a top 4 spot in 2014...

From 2014 onwards we've lost 14 times by under 2 goals, and won only 4 times by under 2 goals. You were very close! Basically a 22% win ratio in close games, that doesn't reflect well on us :(

Man I was really impressed by Impey today. That was a great performance by him. I hope to see more of that. Austin was pretty solid too! I'm loving having a few more talls in the squad. Makes a great difference.

lol Brions, just gone half time and already getting pumped to the tune of 7 goals by Carlton :drunk: Loony Leppa sacked when?

Love the win, not getting carried away. It was Melbourne, who don't have a history of playing well in Alice, and they didn't shut us down in the transition or pile on scoreboard pressure like other teams have. IMO Toumpas should have played today, imagine how much of a confidence booster it...

One change? Really underwhelmed. I mean, yay cos Howard's in but heck me. No Jonas replacement? Or are we going to flog Howard in the ruck instead of making him second tall and send Jacko/Hoff back to cover for Jonas?

Referred to tribunal and 4-5 would be about right. Any less would be lucky in the extreme, any more would be ridiculous pandering combined with the usual 'Port player? Add another week!' rogering we tend to cop - no chance of getting the patented Vic 'but he's a good bloke, two weeks' defense.

There is nothing more that can be said or suggested in this thread. Just going over the same things. As much as Butcher or Howard need to be in the AFL squad for structure reasons if nothing else, they won't be. Hinkley clearly thinks it's ok to have 3 genuine talls trying to cover like 6...

Hinkley needs to go at the end of this year along with Voss, Hart and whoever our forward coach is. Hocking could probably be in the gun too. KT and Kochie should already be quietly organizing for this behind the scenes. We find a highly rated tactical senior coach who leads from the top and...

Been looking at our list, and seeing who's gotten games under Hinkley. I didn't include 2015 trades/draftees. Spoilered so people don't get critted by a giant wall of text. Pittard and Hombsch are great, no arguments there. Hopefully they stick around for the rest of their careers. But...

He's not Robinson Crusoe in the fault department, granted, but it is his list, his selections, his gameplan and a second straight year of being baby poo soft in games we should be winning. If that isn't on Hinkley then who is it on? Edit: even '13 and '14 were not consistent years, still had...

So midfield gets smashed all day, plus the usual problems going forward and it comes down to three moments - O'Shea's baffling decision to handball sideways to Polec when we were going forward (plus another hack kick in the dying seconds going straight to a Carlton player), Amon with zero...

Happy - we needed a 6 goal win and it was nearly 13 goals in the end. Percentage is back in the black! Must continue the good work against Carlton next week.

I'm expecting a raft of changes and a few big names to be dropped but if there isn't a second tall like Butcher/Howard being picked then it will just condemn our moronic selection committee even further.

Everything's ****ed. Overtrained and overcoached players, some of who are legit spuds/peahearts and should be delisted or traded asap before they disgrace our jumper any further. Clueless coaches with about as much tactical nous as a natal ward full of crack babies. Complete absence of...

Yuuuuuuuup. Been reserving judgment for a while but I'm gonna call it. Hinkley has lost this group totally. The players didn't put any effort in last week and now they're playing angry dumb footy. The body language is incredibly poor. Something is seriously wrong behind the scenes at our club...

Just checked a stream and the game is currently on CCTV-5 Plus if anyone wants to see it for themselves, early second quarter at time of posting.
