For all the talk of Hinkley, good, bad or otherwise, it’s puzzling that our horrific record at Adelaide Oval is never mentioned in the media.
It’s more in keeping with that of a bottom-4 side. There’s been no discernible advantage whatsoever for the better part of 5 years.
At what point does "shock, season defining, upset win at Adelaide Oval against Port!" just become a par for the course result for any half competent team? How many years do the media have to report on 5-6 games a year in the same manner before the blowtorch turns to the loser rather than the winner of these games?

this should be sent to AFL for please explain
We’ve got to be the only team in history punished for simultaneously playing well and having amazing fans amidst the halcyon ‘Portress’ days.
You’d watch a Crows game at AO, and they’d enjoy the armchair ride you’d expect from their Subiesque carry-on.
We’d follow up the week after and the umpires would actively lean against us to prove they weren’t being unduly influenced by “the raucous Port crowd”.
Razor Ray blatantly ignoring Buddy shoving Hombsch in the back with two hands while all three men were alone in the Swans F50 was the perfect example of this.
40,000 of us screaming blue murder at a free that would’ve been paid in literally any era, but there’s Chamberlain poking his chest out and waving play on.
The one where even Buddy himself turned around and looked at the ump as if to say 'wtf, really?' before booting it into the Riverbank Stand.
I agree. We've had the one coach at Adelaide Oval so it stands to reason that the results will remain the same until there is a change.We won't improve our record at AO by much because we still have the same stupid mentality and method.
We dont put scoreboard pressure on when we are dominating the game, dominating forward territory, dominating inside 50's etc. We don't convert our chances either by poor goalkicking or inability to not bomb it to Charlie all the time.
We need a mindset change to change our record since 2015. That wont change without regime change.

It's actually embarrassing the team runs out to the song Not Giving In.
Franklin even turned around to check he wasn't in some parallel universe before continuing on to goal.We’ve got to be the only team in history punished for simultaneously playing well and having amazing fans amidst the halcyon ‘Portress’ days.

The "not giving in" and NTUA has become to me, pure cringe. I reckon it spurs on opposition teams and makes ump giggle, "watch us f them up?". And teams know we don't practice what the happy feel good sing-alongs preach. I only stand up for NTUA for my kids involvement.
We cant handle expectations under Kens tenure. Right from 2013 semi against Geelong to play safe in 2nd half, its instilled within the playing group. I will struggle to force myself to another game this year.
*At Metricon
AO is too narrow and imo it's a major blunder. The Eastern side should've been another 10 to 15m's wider it's design is fundamentally for cricket and it wasn't great for that either.
We've often struggled against organised teams and Hinkley's game plan for years has been impotent in response. For year after year we've hugged the boundary
focused on the forward pockets and been one dimensional with forward targets. We're better this year but we all remember our fwd area being either empty
or a crowded hotch potch of desperate players playing hot potato hot potato. Goals mostly coming from individual brilliance or oppo clangers. Hence our stats v top8 teams.
We need to foster self belief bordering on arrogance. I want to see more swagger and mongrel that focuses on anti-social footy. Stuff accepting mediocrity
from honest triers and a club hierarchy worried about not upsetting the comp or officialdom.
If the players are getting the yips from crowd expectation then work on your foot skills and goal kicking prowess.
Your professional bloody footballers toughen up or eff off. What's more disgraceful than some of our senior players foot skills is that they're been sub-par for years.
How hard would it be to consistently position all 4 of McKenzie, Farrell, Hammer and Houston around the arks and use them to kick goals and draw out opposition defences.This isn't just AO but we let other sh*t teams shut us down with a flood too easy.
How many times have we seen us trap the ball in our half for 10 minutes, pissing around in congestion because everyone is in 1/3rd of the ground. We lack the ability to convert from these situations like say Richmond does. Then what happens, it goes down the other end and their forward line is completely open, with a couple of 1 on 1s or they get over the back of our press for an easy goal.
It's so ******* frustrating and has been happening for years. We work so hard in our clogged up half, eventually turn it over then they get a run on and slam on 3 or 4 goals with an open forward line.
A non-brainless coach would have worked out how to create space or draw some players back by now. But no, same sh*t time after time.
You can be the shittest team in the league and fall back on an old Ross Lyon flood and you've probably got at least a 50/50 chance of beating us at home in a low scoring shitfest.
