Unfortunately it will never go hand in hand with Hinkleyball. As opposed to Astroball, Hinkleyball uses mid year recruits previously delisted from lesser clubs over youth, especially if the youth is tall
I mean, instead of working feverishly on fixing the issues holding the club back, lets scour successful sports stories for a reason we've made unpopular decisions.

Did the overseas professional development program that was forced upon Hinkley consist only of sifting through the bins at Minute Maid Park?

Not as long as this video, but Grave Danger in November 2017, a day or two after Houston won their first WS, he put up a Sports Illustrated front cover from June 30 2014, with a picture of the Astros George Springer that said

Scape Goat - TRTT Part 5: A Good Day to Ken Hard
One Astros player I am absolutely stoked to see win a World Series: Evan Gattis This time ten years ago, he was a janitor for an IT company, then he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for anxiety, depression and substance abuse. His dad picked him up, as he was driving him home, talked him...

There are rebuilding projects ... and there's what the Astros are trying: an unprecedented burn-the-house-down overhaul. There are innovative front offices ... and there is Houston's, which includes a Nerd Cave led by a former blackjack dealer turned rocket scientist. Can it work? By October 2017, it might seem silly to ask By Ben Reiter

And for a nice contrast, Richmond sans Martin, Cotchin, Riewoldt, Rance, Houli and Bulluss giving us a nice old touch-up 10 years later in glorious 4K on 508.

That Richmond game surely was the point where there was no longer any reasonable doubt that Ken has no idea.
That’s my one Sack Hinkley for the day.

Who cares about 2019 and the futile careers of Boak, Gray, Ebert and Westhoff. We’re winning the flag in 2025, silly.

Matt Thomas was very very ordinary.

Yeah, that game was my tipping point. It was the exact moment I went from 'yeah
I'm not really sure whether Hinkley is the right man for the job' to 'Hinkley must be sacked ASAP'.

It was the straw that broke the camels back for me.
From then on, there was officially no rational argument in existence that said Hinkley should stay on.
Eric Banner is the perfect fit for Basset, Channeling his Pioda character.

It’s laughable really because after the 140th anniversary debacle against Richmond in 2010, I distinctly remember how I hoped our 150th would be better.
And well, I’ve already been hoping our 160th goes better for a while now.

By making our 140th just over a weekend it risked a loss.
By making the 150th a whole year, surely we'll get a win in somewhere!

220 games and probably less than 1200 disposals, with the vast majority being slow looping widow making kicks or high handballs along the boundary line to no-one in particular.

I'd put money on us losing all our 150th 'celebratory' matches in 2020.
Would be some juicy odds.

Stephen Shirley has opened up a twitter account since he returned to Port last month. Has put up a few cracker tweets. Heres three of them.

Great memories from Tommy, but * that dead dolphin jumper design Salopek and Surj had a hand in.
