I don't think the gap between Soldo and Sweet is that huge and honestly I don't mind that he is out. Sweet will need to develop some chemistry with our mids in case he is called on, so this is a great little window to have our backup in a position where he is fully ready to act as a backup...

Honestly I think our next coach will take us backwards before we go forward, but hey I'm happy with taking the risk because trying to win a flag and failing is far better than continually just soldiering on with no possibility of success.

Should remind him of it.

Decided to pick the Lions tonight, just thought they would need this, I still expected them to rise, GWS had some huge outs and they had a good record against GWS. I was hugely wrong. Brisbane are seriously cooked.

Amazing what a good new coach can bring to a club, ie. The Giants. After years of poor coaching they've absolutely got it going now. With their outs this is an outstanding win.

100% Brisbane have gone backwards massively. Amazing really.

And suddenly the decision to waste time playing Clurey as a winger will be regretted when he is completely out of sorts down back. Coaches ******* around again and unsettling the squad 100% this ^

That's a terrible suggestion. Consistency in playing is a hugely important factor in form. If he's fit, he plays every week.

I'm really hopeful we can stay injury free this week. Finlayson comes back next week and McEntee slips even further down in the pecking order. If we're serious, I hope we never see him again at AFL level.

The AFL side has 2x6 day breaks in a row, with the Thursday showdown coming up, and with SANFL games played after the AFL side, we will basically either need to leave players out of the SANFL so that we can keep them available as backup, or if injuries strike Friday, the backup players will be...

Ken Hinkley upcoming Milestones: On May 25th Vs North in Tassie, Ken officially becomes the all time record holder for the most games coached to have not reached a GF. Whilst already being the all time record holder for most games at 1 club without a GF appearance. Including coaches that have...

We have a poor record against good sides at home, but when it comes to top 4 sides away, we just don't win those games. Personally I think Collingwood will end up top 4 by the end of the year and will add to these stats. 2023: (0-3 away against top 4) 2nd Brisbane, 5th Carlton and 1st...

So Carlton making the big dance would mean only 4 of 18 other clubs haven't made the GF in Hinkley's reign. So much for stability.

We have the Crows and Cats in the next couple weeks. Lose this week and a streak of losses is absolutely on the cards. We won't beat Geelong in Geelong, so another poor showdown, and a poor showing against the Saints and suddenly 4-5 would be major alarm bells. Given our night game record...

Those 2 goals we coughed up in a row before half time, where both came after we had first hand on the clearance and shat our dacks, falling over and fumbling under pressure in the clearance, should be on repeat at the club this week. But modern day footy they won't want to make them feel bad...

This happens everytime we have a rough week and feel like we'll be smashed with injuries. There ends up being 1 maybe 2 forced changes and 1 of the not so bad injuries we don't see for another 3-4 weeks. While playing others through their soreness but playing it down.

Regardless of the result, gotta give the boys credit for showing up today. On a hiding to nothing, yet they've given a heck of a lot more than the seniors did yesterday.

I'm attending for the pure theatre now, just because I know my club will be here post-Hinkley, but there's absolutely zero attachment to success anymore, I know it won't happen and am not going to get lead on or waste emotional investment in hopeless endeavours. Especially while I have zero...

Honestly leaving Dixon out was almost an acceptance we wouldn't win, ahead of the game. A s**t message to send to the players. He'll come back and Williams gets his lifeline. BZT still struggling with that shoulder. JHF possible hammy. Jones a hammy. Bergs an ankle. Dixon cooked. Boak sore. Jez...

They're ok. A solid middle of the road team. Others were trying to paint them as something more than they are. Beating them for us meant zero. We've shown we can churn out those wins without issue. Our tests are against the best and that's why regardless of the result V Freo it meant nothing...

Tell me again how amazing beating Freo was JakeNeadeFan. Perfect result tonight to illustrate my point that beating them meant nothing. Today's game rather told us EVERYTHING we needed to know.

It's clubs with some excitement amongst the supporter base. Our supporter base is so incredibly flat it isn't funny. The Pies are what 2/3 and a bit years into an exciting adventure with a new coach? Carlton also on a rise and an exciting rise with a new coach. Here we are just maintaining the...

If Collingwood finish top 4 this year. Lets not forget that we would end the year as 0-10 AWAY against top 4 sides with an average losing margin of 41 (nearly exactly today's margin). We don't beat good sides, especially not away from home. Our only chance at success is to be 100% fit come...

I put what is a huge bet for me on today, $200 on Collingwood on the nose. Was absolutely certain we'd lose, never actually felt like that money was in danger. The only question was whether to go 1-39 or on the nose, but I had no belief we could even get within that mark. Lucky I was right.

Scariest part of that performance, is we were up 8 goals to 3 early in the second, and I still thought Collingwood were the favourites to win at that stage. All the worrying signs were there, they had their game going from late in the first and we were just holding on. Just shows how far away we...

I can't wait to win the next couple games, be sitting at 6-2, everyone praising our side and big 3, for us to only get smacked again, particularly in the midfield again, next time we play a contender.

Sweet started ok in the first, but after that it was a mess. Was clear we needed to sub Sweet out pronto, but there was so much going wrong and they were only 1 small element of an absolute shitshow.

Na, we're s**t. Kidding yourself if you think there is any chance that our current team and hierarchy would get anywhere near Collingwood at the G in September.

I wish we lost last week. That flukey finish was lipstick on a pig. Sitting here at 3-3 after getting walloped would be showing where we are really at, and putting the blowtorch firmly on Hinkley where it belongs.

Hahahah Ollie Wines what the * was that
