Hinkley says Whitlock, Ramm or Rioli unlikely to get picked.

The man is an actual flipping embarrassment and joke. Holy shit. Haven't watched anything more than a snippet and wanted to vomit. Get out of our ****ing club you leech.

 

[Lefti93]

Hinkley’s loser talk has made me lose any slim hope I had.

Here I was hoping that we might somehow pull off an upset with an undermanned side like we did in round 21 2006, when the likes of Bentley, Willits, White and Thomas beat the top of table at the time crows. Chad Cornes was inspirational as stand in skipper, which I could see butters doing something similar.

I was drawing parallels until I realised choco would’ve had them ready to run through a wall that day and made denting the crows minor premiership hopes our mission and then there’s Ken Hinkley who is cracking jokes about hiding in the dark after a loss.

Yeah, I felt the exact same way. When have we ever won a Showdown we were clear underdogs for? 2019 doesn't count because the crows were balls too.

Hugh Jackman was in the rooms that day as well and Choco asked him to speak to the players at half time when we were getting done

Ken Hinkley on the other hand wouldn't even let Darren Cahill in the coaches box

"Our season is on the line so we need to pick players with a demonstrated history of high performance."

Ins: McEntee, Lord, Mead

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Our season is on the line?

What line? The washing line? The fishing line? What is he talking about?

 

[PowerBaz]

So Ken has lost 5 off the last 6. #winning

 

[240volt]

I was actually surprised he said we play to win.
Tough words coming from Ken.

Dwayne hyping it up all game last week. Mate our season was done when we got bent over in round 1, and then doubled down losing to Essendon and St Kilda within the next month. Moron.

Flatlined I think he means

 

[Lefti93]

If we're lucky enough to be in a winning position at the end of the game. Lucky..... LUCKY! Loser crap.

At 10 to 5 in the morning ?

Odd time to announce that

Stack the magoos and try and pinch a SANFL flag.

 

[Del80659]

i think winning a pub quiz night is bigger than a SANFL flag now

 

[Willsy10]

Yeah, I felt the exact same way. When have we ever won a Showdown we were clear underdogs for? 2019 doesn't count because the crows were balls too.

Good question, maybe the 2013 showdowns, although i think they would've been close to even money those games too.

And then you go back to the first showdown in 2011 we somehow won even though we were pure ass that year.

in the same period they've won several as underdogs.

 

[Doctor Feel]

God forbid we give some kids the shot of the lifetime and tell em win lose or draw just go out there and **** shit up

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Well yes but we have absolutely no chance of the first one

 

[EskimoPAFC]

God forbid we give some kids the shot of the lifetime and tell em win lose or draw just go out there and **** shit up remember football isn't everything and someone has to lose.

Fixed this to reflect current Ports

 

[Willsy10]

If we actually have as many players as suggested that are playing under duress and need to be ruled out for the rest of the year, this weekend is a good opportunity for them to play on the edge knowing that a suspension isn't going to concern them.

I'm not talking about going full Dave Granger as those days are well and truly over but you can give them a license to have one last crack at going full pelt, as long as they can't do any further damage that will derail 2026.

We need to make sure we make the crows earn it. They are ****-a-hoop about beating 8th and 9th and everyone is daring to dream now at West Lakes, but i feel that the lost two weeks the crows haven't really been tested in a dogfight, really poor defensive games from both the dogs and suns, downhill skiing which the crows have punished on the counter. They had the games exactly on their terms. The Crows were no doubt impressive, but it also exposed some weaknesses in the games of the suns and the dogs. Neither of those sides will be there when the whips are cracking.

The last time the crows really got tested in a roll up ya sleeves and get dirty dogfight was against the Hawks in Tassie and they didn't like it. They didn't like it when the conditions and game style didn't allow them to play the counter attacking sling shot champagne ball movement style.

If we are really up for it, we can turn this game into a big sloppy turd like they used to against us when they were the underdogs and beat them by just wanting it more. The conditions will mean that heart and endeavor will play a key role.

That's the Port Adelaide of old talking.

Ken will probably lose by 10 goals and ask Nicks and Tex if they'd like to join him for a frozen yoghurt after the game.
