Unfortunately you can't teach an appetite for the contest and the physical side of the game. We have a bunch of players in our team who wouldn't get a game at a team like GWS where that type of effort is non negotiable across the board. Burton, Farrell, Finlayson, Marshall to name a few aren't...

McEntee out is a bad call, defensive pressure will be at an all time low.

Yeah but he's only got 8 players in his team this weekend who have worn All Australian guernseys this decade plus the 2021 #1 draft pick who just polled 16 Brownlow votes in his second season plus a host of hand picked prime age recruits to fill perceived 'holes' in the squad. He's already...

Too scared to play against Port after what McKenzie has done to him and his brother over the years #KingSlayer #DulmialGun #Pure12

This is a disaster, you can't spin it any other way. The season will go to hell very quickly unless Sweet can find a way to compete over the next three games in particular.

I hate it when people even mention Hinkley and Choco in the same sentence. Choco is a premiership coach who took the club to multiple grand finals. He was far from flawless and had some horror moments at the pointy end but he still achieved a lot as a coach. Hinkley is a career loser who has...

Lol, they so knew about this last week. Totally explains the two ruck thing. Never change Port.

This board spends way too long obsessing over how well the 20th to 23rd players picked every week play and whether player x from outside the 23 could provide slightly more and not enough time talking about how well or badly the players who actually make a difference to the outcome of the game play.

Sucking when the ball hits the deck in the backline is the invoice you pay for stacking your defence with beautiful kicks and athletic intercept markers.

How's the consistency from the SUNS, 18th on every data point :blacksunrays::firstqmoonface:

The big traditional rivalry between the only two clubs in the league who have a solitary premiership cup.

Because it's a massive company employing an obscene number of people on well above average incomes who take bucket loads of government funding for all manner of stuff, ask ~60k members to pay membership fees annually and constantly parade their ESG virtues and talk about what amazing people they...

I think short term unpaid internships can have their place when you have a very small company with only a handful of employees and a young student who would like to gain experience. But big companies like Port who turn over $60 million a year and simply use the word internship as a way to scam...

You know who always performed in the big games? :stkilda:

Port have already ensured that there can be no selection process that involves Josh Carr. From here he is either endorsed as the next senior coach or we conduct a process that doesn't include him. There's no middle ground anymore.

We shall not rest until Warren ascends to his rightful place as Emperor of Port Adelaide and brings us Hinkley's head on a platter.

I have no idea what Warren thinks of Carr but having been a teammate for a long time and Josh being his vice captain when we won the flag, I'm certain that he would have an excellent gauge on who Carr is and what type of leader he will be. His voice should be the primary voice in the board room...

To be fair, a graphic designer provides little value to the business. Unlike the Woohoo Company who provided important strategic value to the business.

What is wrong with saying that? It's true. The problem when it comes from Hinkley himself is that he's been saying the same thing for 12 years and getting paid close to a million dollars a year to get us no closer to actually being the good team. Tredrea says this and then behind closed doors...

What works for one club won't necessarily work for another club. We don't have the inbuilt competitive advantages that Collingwood enjoy. McRae is a great coach for Collingwood but I doubt his approach would be successful at Port. We need an us against them fire and brimstone coach who is...

Agree. I'm not convinced on Carr at all but hopefully once the man who saved the club is gone we can return to assessing the performance of coaches the same way the other 17 clubs do.

Butters definitely off the list. His effort doesn't drop away like Rozee but his skill level drops off massively and he turns into a midfield Pittard. SPP has never been a big game player.

Hardly any teams have depth, almost every team has at least half a dozen relative spuds in their best 23. That's what happens when you have 18 teams when you should have about 12.

It's pretty clear that the only way he gets sacked is if the bottom completely falls out and we go something like 8-15 or worse. But that's just not a realistic case scenario given the talent on the list. I think our best chance is to miss the 8 or bomb completely in finals again. This could...

Isn't that mental softness?

Serves you right for tipping a club that among other things: Has never finished higher than 12th in its 14 year AFL history Has never beaten Ken Hinkley's Port Adelaide Calls themselves the SUNS even when they play at night after the actual sun has gone down

Our joint leading goalkickers after 6 games have 9 goals. That is deplorable.

I said back in 2022 that he'll play 200 games. Still think so. If Rome is better as has been suggested then we've got another pair of Burgoyne brothers in the team for the next decade.

Development coach. Explains a lot.

The idea that we play better without Dixon and that the forward line would look great without Dixon always belonged in the BigFooty fan fiction category. Maybe if Lord was there to play the same role it could've worked but the existing personnel was never getting it done. Georgiades is a run...
