Marshall for Dixon, Esava or Lord don't really care. Jed GTFO, DBJ out of defence, forgot how much he sucks back there with his pissant 1 on 1 efforts and hackbombs out of d50, it's literally why we moved him out from there. He runs around like a headless chook up front but has a knack for popping up for a goal and actually applies decent 'pressure'. Sinn, I dunno. Has potential to give a real deer in headlights performance, but we are losing with or without so may as well see if he has any cojones in pressure cooker environments, he wasn't bad against them last time. ****, would've been nice if Lorenz had more than a quarter experience.
 
In round 16 we lost to Brisbane by 79 points then won narrowly the next week against St Kilda in Melbourne and followed up by beating the Western Bulldogs in Adelaide by 48 points. As Ken points out it can be done. The question is can we repeat the trick?
There can always be a turnaround, no doubt, but this is finals.

Our form since the Lions game has been very good and you could see the thrashing by Geelong as a once off but the boys capitulated 10 minutes out from half time.

Our best players are down and/or injured. Butters is banded up. Rozee is out of form. Houston is not playing. The Hornet is our only hope.

There are just a lot of signs pointing to a loss.

f**ck you donuts:

this clip explains how several of our best players played the game injured:

JHF-Back
Aliir-Ankle who apparently did not want to play, but Daddy donut's forced him too
Butters- Ribs

This just doesn't sound like Brad Hardie actually has good intel at our club.

I think the one we shouldn't have played was Butters but Allir and JHF seemed fine to me.

JHF was one of our best and i didn't think Allir was too bad.

Seems a bit strange that a player would be the one asking to not be selected for a final. Goes against the grain on how a player would normally be, normally it would be the opposite and they are desperate to play and try to convince everyone they're fine.
 
Brad Hardie is a nuffie. Aliir was fine and Horne-Francis was running the game out harder than any Port player.

The problem was across the team with the same soft-arsed approach that we produced in the Bulldogs prelim.

It's been said again and again that after the massive pressure ratings we produced for the crows and Freo in consecutive games, why couldn't we do it last week when it mattered? There's the $64,000 question.

If it disappeared as magically as it did last week, maybe it will reappear this week.
 
My favourite Kenism is "if we play our best footy, we will win the game".
Don't be silly, Ken would never make a statement as definitive as "we will win the game". That would be setting a standard that he could then be held to. It'd be "we'll give ourselves our best chance" or some other wishy washy bullshit.

Is Farrell any chance? Apparently he was doing full pace running at training last week.

According to AFL Table, Hinkley will coach his 273rd game of football on the weekend against Hawthorn without getting to a Grand Final equaling Mark 'Choco' Williams.
Huh? Basically all of this is wrong

The news item suggested he would play in the prelim if we win this week. But he was moving well and seemed happy so who knows?
 
If we are any chance of winning, the conman grifter has to start Rozee of half back, & play DBJ up front in exchange for McEntee (Dropped forever).

Bring in Williams for Lachie Jones who looks completely lost out there.

Banish Dixon to the local V8 car meetup for Marshall.

Sinn comes in for Narkle & Frankie makes way for Lorenz.

Relax, Slutfest, I paraphrased.

If you end with a strong statement but have it conditioned by the first part of the sentence, most people will just hear the last part but really the actual statement is not saying much at all.

It sounds strong but is inherently wishy-washy. I assume he's using Koch's media guy.
 
Sorry if im intruding but I do have a serious question. I'm confused as I genuinely don't know if the port supporters want to win (keep ken) or to lose so you can sack Kern?
Any ways hope you guys bounce back but not too much 😉
Cheers
Get rid of Kenny & make your guy an offer he can’t refuse!

I'm conditioned to always wanting Port to win, but if we lose it is the end of ken so I will cope.

On the other hand if we win and get to a Prelim, our notoriously vapid board will have to make a decision and that is usually peak hilarity. Until they make the wrong one.
