Kern Hinkley sack watch

[subaru]

I remember you recruited a forward who could throw his weight around, and bash & crash. How's that going?

I remember they recruited the "missing piece " - that's not working either by the look of it !

 

[subaru]

The reason is why this thread exists. Not that its a crisis yet, but we shouldn't be in this position. .......

Don't you "get what you deserve " though ?

 

[Damp Squarie]

What's going to happen to all those shirts once Port fans get their wish and Stinkley is sacked?

Bassett will get the gig and the shirts will become Nafuns Nuff Nuffs.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Definitely up against it, it doesn't tell us anything we didn't know.

It doesn't tell us what did we learn.

 

[Beats28772]

Yeah we got good players (and "players we have yet to try") in the draft too, and managed to improve our position for the next draft rather than compromise it. Looking forward to spending your top 5 pick this year.

Well that's what you get when you finish bottom of the ladder season after season after season.

Well that's what you get when you finish bottom of the ladder season after season after season.

Haven't finished bottom of the ladder since 1998.

 

[Beats28772]

Haven't finished bottom of the ladder since 1998.

I didn't mention you finished last did I.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I didn't mention you finished last did I.

Well yeah, you did. But this is boring.

The problem with Port is every player they recruit is the missing piece. Polec was the missing piece because of his booming left foot (lol) Matt White was the missing piece because of his pace, Dixon was the missing piece, Ryder was the missing piece, ****, some even said Toumpas was the missing piece

Does any team have more off-season lols than this sad bunch?

Just the off season?? If you look at the similarities between the 5 stages of grief and Port Adelaide supporters it's scary
Denial - they didn't want to believe that Kern is actually a shit coach. They didn't want to believe that Dixon is a shit player
Anger - see quotes above "get ****ed hinkley" is one of my favourites
Bargaining - If only we tried harder to keep Richo... if only Burgo wasn't such a fraud...
Depression - many not looking forward to the start of the 2017 season, expecting Sydney to have a 100+ point win
Acceptance - We are Port Adelaide

So after being a kick away from the GF in 2014 which earnt him a big contract extension to 2018, Hinkley has overhauled Port's game plan.

There's recruiting talent ( Betts Lynch Jacobs etc) and then there is recruiting sloppy seconds - someone else's injury prone underachievers/drug cheats.

Power excel at the second and sell it to the koolade drinkers as top notch list building.
Even their players they develope soon plateau at a peak of ordinary to good.

Don't forget Impey he was just missing; but thank God he was found sober by Keefy.

Maybe Drugendon...but nah.

Just the off season??
Bargaining - If only we tried harder to get rid of Hartless and Lobshot.

Yep. Every other team just accepts that they have the perfect squad and "there's no reason that they can't win the premiership". :rolledeyes

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

No one is saying that. But then again no other team consistently shouts from the rooftop that they have found the missing piece to their premiership puzzle and then falls in a heap every single time.

But that's precisely what you lot do !
Why do you think you're known as the puffers?
No better example than the John Butcher story - labeled the Future after one game and delisted 6 seasons too late.

But all is not lost - you got a new play book apparently

“Definitely, definitely (we can play the new game), but it is going to take a bit of time,” Hombsch said at Alberton on Thursday.

“It is a new structure - and it takes games to get used to it.

“You can practise it so much on the training track, but you have to play games to implement (the new game). We are all over it internally - and, as players, we know exactly what Ken wants.

“This game does suit us. It is an exciting, free-running type of footy ... and we have to get creative as players."

“But we have sharpened our view on four or five really, really important areas to our game. And hopefully we will get some results from that.”

I found Kenny's diary and I can reveal that those really important areas are:
1. Midfield
2. Forward
3. Defence
4. Centre
5. Bench

I thought the important things were
1.China
2.Game day village beer prices
3.How to march from the mall to the oval
4. Cliche for the season
5. Whose got the best beard/man bun

Surely if you get that right the results just fall your way

By "team" I assume you mean "supporters", because you'd surely be able to find me links showing Port Adelaide talking about "missing piece to a premiership puzzle". Only Josh "Joe the Goose" Jenkins seems to talk openly about there being "no reason we can't win the flag this year".

But it's funny that you don't think that every team tells us every year that every part of their team is coming together nicely.

Let's take today.

10 March 2017
Adelaide believes Troy Menzel is ripe to make an impact with the Club after an interrupted first year as a Crow.
A settled senior line-up coupled with a year of fluctuating form and injuries in the SANFL meant Menzel did not play a game last season.
But the former Blue has impressed Crows coaching staff this summer and is determined to return to the AFL landscape.
"He turned up and we knew he was ready to go, we could see he had a real desire and that has transferred into the games," Crows assistant coach David Teague told reporters on Friday.
"He's playing well. He had some really important, not just possessions, but impact on the game on the weekend and hopefully that will continue.
"The more time he spends out there with this group, I'm thinking he will only get better."

October 2015:
"He's played some really good footy at AFL level and, at only 21 years of age, has plenty of scope for improvement," Crows head of football David Noble said.
"Troy will add another dimension to our dynamic forward and midfield lines and we think he can develop the flexibility to play in other positions."

Next thing you know the Crows would take credit for Australia winning the first test in India! #truthstrangerthanfiction
