Preview 2021 Goodbye (To 2022) New; Preseason Discussion

[Tibbs]

In the channel 7 tweet up the page, expected to play this weekend.

What is it?

What he said.

Fully expected him to be booked in for a leg amputation by now!

We also have major unaddressed cultural problems. A deeply ingrained mental weakness when it comes to handling pressure and expectation that permeates right through the organisation. The higher the stakes, the more it becomes apparent. This will not change simply by working hardery for longery or getting better players or even a new coach - there needs to be an admission that it's a problem and then a concerted effort to pull together and change the cultural fabric of the organisation. Don't see it happening anytime soon unfortunately.

A new coach is certainly a step in the right direction and a coach that takes accountability.

The funniest thing that could happen is Port winning the flag and Hinkley getting a 3 year extension.

13 years, unlucky for some.

I am not sure if this post reads best with Benny Hill music or the twilight zone. Ahhhh Benny Hill it is.

Sorry that meme is taken

Still doesn’t look like there has been a single photo taken of one of our forwards actually leading at the ball and taking a mark in front...

Plenty of photos of all our forwards and backs in one big ugly pack again.

Butters will play largely mid. A mate of mine who would know told me that Zak has been the absolute standout of pre season.

Thanks Wazza

"Connor Rozee" getting a very timid tackle here.

That looks like the obviously not very authentic Chinese knockoff toys version of Connor rozee

on PAFC Website.
Bad shoulder for most of the year and could not train.
So he has, what ends up being a reasonable excuse, for a bit of a down season in 2021.
Not sure how the club does it but it would be great to know these things rather than have supporters and BF Posters calling for his head and suggesting he be put up for trade.
The same applies for Butters as much as we all knew he had a severe injury from what you read and after you hear him speak it sounds like he probably should not have played at all at the back end of 2021.
It just makes you wonder how many players are even capable to perform at 100% before you bring form into the equation.

Maybe Hinkley is carrying an injury and it's effecting his coaching?

lol what an ill informed post re: Houston. Literally every person on this board knew Houston was carrying an injury. He quite clearly protected the shoulder in contests and even tackled one handed with his 'good' arm. Having said that, he did have a choice to play or not. Once you cross that white line, you are fit.

It's a collective failure that he played through it.

I wonder what that series of pics (21-28) of Kane getting up and moving out the group and being clapped was all about - maybe he dropped a vicious eggie?

Sorry Commander of the informed Posts
And obviously not every poster knew, because there were quite a few who wanted him dropped and traded at years end.
Guess once you cross that white line though, you also open yourself up to any amount of criticism from a faceless sour puss hack.

Yeah seems the front row might be rookies/1-3 year players and Kane is out of that group now?

Unless you're too tall for the front row that is (Pasini, Lord, Bergman, Jones).
