Fair point.

I reckon Tim Watson gets into that conversation somewhere.

In two weeks from now, there will be 12 of the other 17 teams that have played in a GF and 7 that have won the premiership during Hinkley's tenure at Port. The incredible (and damning) thing for me is that in the case of 9 of those 12 teams, Port have finished higher on the ladder than them...

You're being a bit harsh on Joyce there. He did win two premierships at Hawthorn.

Two awful, insipid finals performances to close out the season. Tonight, we were beaten by a team coached by a former Port premiership player, a bloke who got delisted, then fought his way back into the team and earned a flag. A bloke who learned the lessons about taking opportunities and...

Especially satisfying that it was Essendon and, in my case, being there to see it in person with my daughter, as we attended our first game for 4 years. I'm sure there are some good people who support Essendon but in my years of living in Melbourne and going to games I've always found them to...

That's good. He can be our CEO after he's finished playing.

I'm gonna call him the Cardinal.

The 1978 GF isn't as hard to watch as the 1984 GF...
