As the number 1 club in SA? Crows haven't finished higher than Port on the ladder since 2017, and it looks like Port have gone past the Crows in their rebuild too.
JHF, Rozee, Butters is going to be a seriously good centre square trio, and might even rival the Judd, Cousins, Kerr trio in 5...
I remember their blue print from the start of 2011 where they aimed to win 2 flags in the next 5 years.

At the time they hadn't won a final in a decade and they ended up winning 2 finals in the next 5 years.
I'd be surprised if they won 2...
Carlton will be happy since Carter's proposal shows them having won 22 premierships. I don't mind personally as it shows us having won 20 premierships including a historic 4 peat but I have no doubt Collingwood's feathers would be quite ruffled.
Daily Mail wrote an article about this as well.

Interesting to see they list Fitzroy and Brisbane premierships together. I've always seen Fitzroy and Brisbane as two clubs with two...

Interesting to see the premiership tally with premierships dating back to 1870 included.
Carlton - 22 premierships...
Hinkley was at Gold Coast when he got the job as Port coach. Anyway I believe Hinkley is only part of the problem at Port and the problems there are rooted much deeper going back to the 2007 grand final disaster.
I know this opinion might be unpopular but neither Port or the Crows have ever recovered from their grand final losses to Geelong and Richmond. I don't think Ken Hinkley is the problem rather he's part of the problem, and I don't think Port can ever truly recover until everyone who was around in...
Port never recovered from the 119 point belting they received from Geelong in the 2007 grand final and Adelaide haven't recovered from the 2017 grand final loss to Richmond. In my opinion it's fair to say Geelong and Richmond destroyed the SA clubs. Would you agree or disagree?
Collingwood added Mitchell to their midfield while Richmond added Taranto and Hopper. Both were finals sides who were thereabouts in 2022 and having both strengthened their midfields it'll be interesting to see who finishes higher in 2023.
