Autopsy Inside Port Adelaide

If there was post-match footage from the Carlton game, I imagine it would be like that scene from Arrested Development where Buster goes nuts ranting about Lucille and there is a solid minute of beeping.

Comment is prety useless without a Youtube clip, but I couldn't find one :(
What would have been good from that show would have been the perpetually adjusted party banner (always done at very late notice as situations change).

For example "You're kthrilling us guys!" up on the wall of the change-room as they come in from the Brisbane game.

Looking at the doco, I think the string of difficult games early masked some of our issues. We were content that we had a crack in some of those games. It's only really visible in hindsight. In retrospect it was such a hard season to follow up 2014 with. I don't think we had the deep down, real, battlefield confidence to fend off the speed wobbles.

Seeing Kane's retirement announcement again was pretty special. We have a tendency to eat our own sometimes, our supporters are fierce competitors with such high expectations. I think since Koshie and KT have come to the club we've gained some real awareness of our identity as a club and some external perspective. They've enabled the club step back and look at somebody like Kane who maybe hasn't played the kind of role we usually identify with "legends", and have a real awareness of the historical moment. The club did everything right but win that night and it should be a real proud Port Adelaide moment.

Terry Wallace.

Excellent motivator, cutting edge tactician and media-savvy pioneer.

But those sliding doors were never kind. The litany of blown chances in Q4 of the 1997 Prelim. The 2004 Draft. Nathan Brown shattering his leg when he was arguably the best player in the competition with the Tigers flying. And a host of other almosts, ifs and maybes.

His job resurrecting the Western Bulldogs was Hinkleyesque.

It's a shame his coaching career and overall reputation is viewed so poorly.
I think you are very kind to Terry. 12 yrs coaching, no GF. <50% win/loss ratio. Yes it is a fineline and 97 could have been different but every coach has these moments. Ross Lyon will cop a lot this week as a coach who's coaching style can't win a flag but if that ball sits up for Milne v Coll.....
He was a great promoter, including of himself and great for WB in that respect, but the team he coached had about 6 all time great WB players. grant, Smith, Brad Johnson, Wynd, West even Libba. Lot of talent in that side, no GF appearance from that group was underachieving
 
The main thing I took away from it: Ken Hinkley is a pretty special bloke and we're lucky to have him as our coach.
He's a special bloke alright. How often have I heard people say "I love the way he talks".
No...umm's and...aahh's,no corporate spin b/s. You can't fake it coz there's no pause in his speech as he searches for the 'right' word
or the right 'phrase'. It reminds me of listening to people who are clever and not sneaky smart arses trying to deceive you.
Pooh'shitto would give his left ball to get Ken in a cash drenched black op. For some-one of Ken's calibre Roo would come across as being
about as flash as a rat with a gold tooth.
Sure the doco had some terrible camera shots/angles featuring the back of peoples' heads but as FishingRick04 pointed out
the one thing I did love is we gave Adelaide no oxygen what so ever which was great.
Didn't notice that m8,goes to show I'm getting better at filtering them out of my psyche.
I liked it and have read posters from other teams say the same.
Standby for our 'me/us too' neighbours SLICK copycat version next year,starting with a revolutionary,ground breaking,trendsetting
market leading pre-season trip to Jou'By.
 
The great thing about Port as the subject of this sort of media content is the attractiveness of the football being played and the sheer integrity and transparency of all the people involved. That makes for great viewing for anyone, anywhere, regardless of their depth of knowledge or interest in the sport itself.

The Crows only advantage is this vague notion that they are the bigger club in SA, among the over-50s.

Richmond consumed him. Not the only coach that's happened to in the past 30-odd years either. As I said, they were flying (7-2) up until Brown (20 dpg & 3 gpg!!! - hyperelite numbers) shattered his leg.

The other thing to consider is, the Scray didn't have a pot to piss in. Give him Blight or Malthouse's infrastructure and resources and is it enough to get them over the line? Possibly.

Waste of time. No insights. Nothing we hadn't read or heard before - just a fluff doc.

& near the end, what was the thing that Ken had taken & learnt from the season wasted?

"You get what you deserve....." Carn.
He's 100% right though, we didn't play Port Adelaide football, and we got what we deserved from straying from the goal.

and what would you have like him to say?
 
I've only watched about half so far (will watch the rest when I get home) but it's about what I expected, basically an extended version of the little clips the club does with some commentary in between. At least we haven't tried to turn it into some over-positive propaganda movie, and didn't try to hide the fact we underperformed this season.
 
Just re watching this waiting for the BrownLow. I see that Ken is wearing an SAS pin badge in his pre match for the ANZAC day game.
What's the story there? I was overseas for the Hawthorn game.
