Let's talk Ports! Part 2

Serious question. Why was the North performance swept under the carpet? It destroyed any finals chance and we had scenarios like a 3-possession game from a guy high in our B&F.

To play like that at a critical juncture, when the previous week's game had been solid, is surely worthy of some introspection? More than just "uh, we dunno power".

My guess:

Because something happened at the club that week that they’ve kept a tight lid on.
It was the same week that Wines flagged he was open to being traded.

Isnt that the week the club told the players and their managers that Ken was staying?

We desperately need an external review so we can find out how the players and coaches really feel.

Happy-clappers aren't so gay when you state an opposing view, aren't they? Interesting...

But you said it is just a guess. How does that hold any weight?

Apologies if its been mentioned elsewhere, but do the non-SANFL finals qualified players start their break now or when the rest of the players have theirs?

It’s been the case since we shot our wads against West Coast (17pts up at HT) and Brisbane (belted at the Gabba by the 17th-placed side we thumped by 100+ upon last meeting) in subsequent weeks in 2015.

“dunno lol we’ll get back to it I guess”

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Can we get Jonas out in the media more to let us know how grateful we should be that we finished 10th?

I don’t think he has mentioned it enough yet.....

Reasons from cocaptain;

1. It’s better than bottom 4
2. Crowds aren’t that low so it’s okay
3. Tough competition
4. You could barrack for Gold Coast?
5. YoUng PlaYerS

This guys IS THE WORST CAPTAIN in the competition.

We had a young team in 2015 remember. We were always going to be inconsistent.

"It just happens, doesn't it? Football comes and goes 'whack, cop that'."

"I reckon I'm going to back them and say: 'You know what? That's a little unusual for us'," Hinkley said.

Deluded campaigners don't seem to enjoy being subjected to cold hard facts. I have lost faith in humanity...

I don't follow. I said it was a guess, so why does it need to 'hold weight'?

Because a guess means nothing and just starts a rumour from absolutely nothing.
I don’t get the point of a ‘guess’

We've literally never looked inward after any loss ever. Occasionally we'll drop a few players that we select again a week later.

If it makes you feel any better, Ken doesn't know why we lose. But he also doesn't know why we win when we have a good win against a good side, like Geelong or West Coast this year. The coaches as a group don't understand where things are going wrong (or right) and as such can't correct them.

What rumour? That 'something happened'?

lol

Gay? Joyful.
Happy-clapper? Port's polyannas — everything is just fine. Stay positive.

It is interesting how they change from "happy-clappers" to "angry mob", if you dare say that the club is going nowhere and that you want change.

A rumour is a rumour a guess is a guess., a stab in the dark.

Has anyone seen the ugly sweater with 3 Sydney Swans logos that we are selling at the moment? This club is absolutely screwed.
