Let's hope we get to the preliminary next year, it would be good if the players have a chance at redemption!

This is where I get annoyed.
We are already a great club.
We've just got idiots on the board and losers in the coaches box at this moment in our history.
The Port Adelaide I grew up worshiping believed they could beat anyone anywhere anytime. It was instilled into us by great men who believed it themselves and lived and breathed it. Thinking we were never going to win is the thing that separates us from our past. Doubt loses Preliminaries, belief wins them

I hate the naivety of this s**t.
Yes we have some good kids. However there's been little to suggest they can actually lead us to success just yet.
Additionally, things change. Keep finishing at the top and we wont get the next group of superstars into the club and we'll watch our club slowly get over taken by the next group of clubs that have built super midfields and jump us.
It's not as simple as having some good kids and staying at the top. It never has been in this era of list management. You need to continue to improve as the next batch of kids will undoubtedly overtake us if we dont improve significantly.
As crazy as it sounds, our club would be better off prioritising the youth for a few years, bottoming out a bit with the talent we have and scoring some high draft picks, and then charging back up the ladder. Otherwise we'll be stuck in that good but not good enough space where we finish high regularly but dont get the chance to get the cattle in through the draft that we need to compete with the best. Which is where I feel we are right now.
summed up my concern precisely.

Maybe it should be "don't judge us on games against top 4 teams".
1 game my arse.

Don't forget for the first half of the year Drew was only being played because we wanted games into him and at times our backup mids were injured. His form deserved dropping. He was always unlikely to poll well early. His last half of the year reaped the rewards of us sticking with him.

What's hilarious is the club hasn't uploaded Hinkley or kochie videos. You won't get more control the narrative then this
Isn’t this a congrats thread . It seems like nearly all of the others .
Well done to Ollie and Sam Hayes . I think Hayes has actually being developed really well and Ollie has finally gone up to the level we’d hoped he would

This isn't true, I watched Hinkley's speech on the website this morning.

sucking a lemon
congrats Ollie you have made us very proud, awesome to see someone filling their potential
Well done to all the winners of the awards, Garner runner up was terrific, delisting you was your reward, sorry mate you never had an opportunity to show what you can do.
Sorry to be negative in this thread but after watching that rubbish from Koch, Richo and Hinkley last night left me very angry.
Sorry to Jack Cahill & Russell Ebert for the state of our club with it's on field failures and embarrassing the PAFC that you both were a massive part of.
I feel an apology is needed but it won't come from the pirates that have stolen our club so I will say it hear.
I know how us die hard core group are feeling so I know how you both must be feeling, I know this because you guy's taught us how to be the best.

Congratulations to Jeremy Clayton on his life membership he was awarded last night, absolute champion player in a bang average era.
Didn't watch, couldn't watch. So he actually admitted they fked up?
Yeah a real surprise to me and to think that the club didn't think he had any trade value, poor form from the club but I am begining to expect this type of garbage from Port now.

I know it was old mate's birthday but sheesh he doesn't read the room sometimes. When he flung the tea over his shoulder in Shanghai
I stared open mouthed thinking wtf have I just seen. For a guy who's steered the PAFC ship for 9yrs he seemed very ill at ease last night.
Like he knows his "act" is up. He had the chance to man up over the PF debacle yet all we got was a self serving throw away line.
Don't judge us on one game. As for Koch I missed his blah blah-a-thon last night... did I miss anything that would pump my tyres up for 2022?
