Why does the club use lade in there media interviews so much , he comes off very umderwealming

 

[chachi11]

Would you prefer;

1. beat Essendon only for Geelong to beat GC..no finals
2. lose to Essendon, GC upset Geelong, will cap off another what might have been s**t sandwich for 2018.
3. We beat Essendon, GC beat Geelong and we make finals......lol...yeah like this will happen.

I'm gunning for #2

If you could inhabit hinkleys mind being John malkovich style what changes would you implement in terms of personnel and game style?

Same if you were Keith Thomas for a day

Perhaps the most palatable option is to slide from 9th to 11th, which is also possible.

Why won’t our coaches come out and tell it like it is?
This year was a massive massive fail.
Yeah I’m there fri night but my partner won’t.
Vodka is my medicine of choice.
Cannot wait for this season to be done. And dusted.

Sheep to the slaughter. Clearly Hinkley doesn't want to man up and explain the failure that is 2018.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Any thoughts on Preuss to Port?

 

[FishingRick04]

Lycett or Pruess

 

[Us against the rest]

Coaches select players, if a player is out of form and gets picked to play that's on the coaches.
If we recruit to many Grunt mids and not enough pacey skilled mids, that's on the recruiters.
This is not the players.
Ken's game plan does not allow players to play their natural game.

Portia has been talking about it. We need a plug and play system

 

[GremioPower]

Are we a mediocre hard-working toothless side? If so, why? How did we get here?

We seemed to have addressed last year's needs in the off-season, but got worse. Why?

What would think of a Draft finals, with bottom-8 teams fighting for Pick 1? Would be better than allowing teams to tank?

FishingRick04: "How about the children?"

Swearing levels must be high during Port's games, so they should be used to it by now. Besides, our footy has been pornographic this season. No issue there.

My kids understand "*" as "fox" anyway. Play on!

 

[Capital Power]

Listening now, really enjoying the different views. Thanks everyone.

Portia's statistics are fascinating, and damning. Surely in the coaches box someone has access to the same (and more detailed) numbers and can draw similar conclusions?

Disagree with Rick and his "supporters are looking for blame" assertion. I don't want blame, I want someone to stand up and say that they will take responsibility for improving things. All we've had so far is how well everything's going and if we just do it better we'll be OK. Portia's just proved that this is rubbish.

 

[Capital Power]

And with regards to playing Frampton, he'd be on an absolute hiding to nothing, not the least being up against Bellchambers.

If we win, it'll be "meaningless game and everyone on both teams was just enjoying themselves". If we lose, regardless of the reason, it'll be "I told you he wasn't ready" all summer.

I'd rather he didn't play. That sucks for the lad, but it would be better for him to start clear next year.
