So explained the last 5 or so derby losses when this guys like Brayshaw was slow and an average kick won those derbies for freo then?

Interesting observations. The last AFL team to win a flag averaging 100 points in attack in the regualr season is hawks of 2013-5. Funny thing is, Every single premiership side after the hawks 2015 premiership side, Since 2016 when the dogs won, ever premiership side since 2016 didnt haverage...

I wouldnt mind Ken Hinkley if Hecould motivate us to a few 5th to 8th placed finishes in a row. I wouldnt mind Brad Scott. I didnt mind what he did at North from 2010-19. If Brad Scott can produce similar results at freo like he did at North from 2010-2019, I am in. 4 finals wins in 10...

Kram , which comeback was your favourite? lol

Hi there.... Daily reminders that Port Fans and Ken Hinkley haters are crazy. lol

why? Because your side won a derby? lol one of those blokes has won a brownlow medal and made the AA side a few times. 2 of those blokes made the All Australian at least once.

my thoughts exactly. I enjoyed freos 2012-15 finals run much more than freos 1995-2011 period where freo only made finals in 2003, 2006 and 2010.

I agree, he isnt a bad coach. There are 18 sides in the comp. 8 teams make finals, 10 miss out. 5 finals wins from 2013-24 isnt bad. I would love Justin Longmuir to have similar success like Ken Hinkley at Port. Hell I would love Justin Longmuir to have similar success like Brad Scott had at...

Not a bad bunch of inside mids to be fair

You are partially right. Years Port made finals under Hinkley: 2013, 2014, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023. years Port missed out in finals under Hinkley: 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2022. 6 years made finals, 5 years didnt. 6 out of 11 isnt bad. 5 finals wins in 10-12 years isnt bad. But I would love...

So he is hated at Port? Yes. So you cant respect him for winning 5 finals in his coaching stint? nope.

Fogarty isnt a spear head. I agree he can be a 3rd tall. I can see fogarty thrive as a 2nd tall as a floating Centre Half forward. I can see Tilthorpe play full forward and get Double teamed while Fogarty gets free or gets the 3rd best defender and somehow kicks 3 or 4 goals on a good day.

I hated that bloody thread when people say if you are 0-2, your season is done. lol

I will also say Losing Jake Lever is also a bad loss looking back too. Saying that, its only worse now because the crows didnt win the 2017 grand final. Not making finals in 2018 and 2019 hurts too. As they were not a bad team in both of those years. It sucks finishing 9th to 12th though.

random260 do you agree with this? I wouldnt mind Ken Hinkley as Coach if he does a similar finals run like at Port from 2013-23.

I wanna ask you a serious and Honest Question. Cat won the flag in 2022. Cats finished 12th in 2023. Cats in 2024 are undefeated. Were the cats really that bad in 2023? I said it before and will say it again. Cats in 2023 were not bad. Again.... last seasons ladder had Carlton on 5th with...

I disagree.... Even without Walker, Rachele and Rankine are flair players most AFL sides want. I dont think the main reason why the crows are struggling is the coach. Some of the older and key players are underperforming.

So how come freo hasnt won 15 finals in 30 years? Port have won 5 under Hinkley. Choco williams won 8 finals from 1999-2007 or make that 8 finals wins from 2002-07.

Well every time Josh Carr played a Derby from 2005-8, eagles fans wanted him suspended for bashing the poo out of their mids. LoL Carr said it himself that he got more hatred in the WA derbies than the SA showdowns.

Well... That's partially true. I always remind fellow cats mates of The 747 , JackFlash and Art Vandelay_ about my love of Ross Lyon of that 2012-5 finals era. I am the only Shane Kersten fan on the Freo board too. LoL Shane Kerstens last act as a dockers player was to tell Ross Lyon to f**K...

Good points there

Ports midfield is good. Ports backline is solid when all 6 blokes are fit. Ports forward line is good but extreme on both ends

I remember his match winning goal vs North Melbourne in round 5 that season.

Kersten sadly yes. But he was traded for a 4th rounder or pic 60. Cam McCarthy a bust? He was part of a package. Dockers traded pick 3 for Cam McCarthy, pick 8, 32 and 72.

Maybe Brandon Walker

I remember the 2006 derby, the late season one where Freo won by 57 points in the middle of that 9 games winning streak. Josh carr and Matt carr ganged up on Daniel Kerr. Matt Carr gave away a free kick on a wing for trying to take Daniel Kerr's head off! We had experience and toughness in...

I could look up certain players the crows could of picked up as mids.... 2016 draft, Crows got Jordan Gallucci and Port got Sam Powell pepper. 2018 draft, Crows got Chance Jones Ports pick 12 in Zac Butters. 16 was Ned McHenry, Freo used pick 17 on Sam Sturt and Port used pick 18 on Xavier...

Alex Peace is 198 cm. Draper has only played a handful of games and stands at 197 cm. Ryan is 187 cm or 188 cm, Same With Ethan Hughes. In some games, we could get away With Just playing Alex Pearce at Full back and Ryan at CHB. Saying that, I liked draper so far. He is bascially getting...

well when your side from 1995-2011 made finals in only 2003, 2006 and 2010. So 3 years out of 17.... Ken Hinkleys Stint at Port from 2013-24 with 4 or 5 finals wins looks like paradise. Hell Imagine following richmond from 1983-2012 where they only made finals in 1995 and 2011.

Nah... We got some skilled players in our team. I want Freo to win games on class and Skill, Not by out right thuggery like some sides in the past. Dockers had an unoffical "thugmantle" tag under the Chris Connolly era of 2002-7 when we had the Carr Brothers.
