Butcher was killed by Hinkley, Redden was ok until his injury. Bassett , Brosnan , wrong team mate, as I do not know these names. Bassett played for the crows. White, Morgan and Salter were scrubbers and they weren’t on Hinkleys watch.

Wrong on all counts, which I could justify with a long winded post but not necessary. Brosnan was drafted in 1999 by the way, and Bassett was on the original list and didnt play until 2001 finals.

White was delisted before Hinkley, Salter was good as gone.

Yes, exactly my point. Both were good solid talls who were drafted as key forwards and performed well in that role when given opportunities, but attemps to reshape them into a running flanker ( White) and tagging defender( Salter) effectively killed their careers. And that wasn't Hinkley, hence my assertion that failure to develop talls isn't the sole fault of Hinkley. He's just the continuation of an age old problem.

Scott Bassett, you ain’t a Port Supporter if you have never seen Scott Bassett sit on the bench for his entire debut game. Also, similar time Steve Brosnan played Half Back? I can’t recall him being overly tall? But played One game from memory and felt like he fell off the radar completely within 18 months?
Old port magpie boy

Had some talent

Salter maybe as he wasn’t overly tall, but no way did we ever try develop White as a flanker.

Watch a few games from around 2006 thru 2008. The plan was to try and morph him into a wing /flank link man. In pretty much the same vein as Cornes did with the bloke you have as your avatar, which effectively killed his career off as well.

Hodges died the day he put on that putrid jumper.
