It’s not a great look for the game, but if you keep receiving a routine free kick after more then a decade why would you stop?Players like Selwood and Shuey seem to be playing with weighted coins though.

Robbie Gray always plays for freekicks right?, so umpires learnt pretty quick to give him nothing. Yet other players can flop and get frees on demand. Hell Selwood has his own thread in the Bay with the leagues most free for count but the umps still oblige.Players like Selwood and Shuey seem to be playing with weighted coins though.
You don't get to two AFL preliminary finals if you are not a proven coach.Hmmm of the two men, only one is a proven coach - and it ain't kern.

Ken Hinkley should write BIG HEADS on the whiteboard and leave it there all week for the players to see it and accept it. That was shambolic against West Coast. Workrate and accountability was absent in the midfield and with only 40 inside-50s, what hope did the tactic of playing four tall forwards have of succeeding? Playing Georgiades, Ladhams, Dixon and Marshall didn’t work. Combined, they took three F50 marks, all of them taken by Marshall. The Eagles had 57 entries and Kennedy, Darling and Allen combined for eight goals and 17 marks. Clearly, the problems were generated in the midfield, but am curious to see if Hinkley plays the four talls against Richmond on Friday night. If his midfield can respond, the tactic could stretch a Richmond defence missing Nick Vlastuin. If the midfield is meek as it was against the Eagles, no tactic will work.
You're right. Let's sack him. Then what? Do you have a plan or is it just the same old complaining without a decent solution?We exist to get to two preliminary finals.
Oh how our standards have fallen under Hinkley.You don't get to two AFL preliminary finals if you are not a proven coach.
I remember that loss against Geelong last year by 60, on the eve of the finals. Look what happened the next time we played them. We adjusted and had the opportunity to test it again a few weeks later.
I take zero relevance from the SANFL side to AFL level. Just have to look at 2019 for this.
It's round 3. Bit early to start ending careers of players, or calling for a sacking of a coach.
Good sides don't lose two in a row.
Which of Port or Richmond will be the good side?
Friday night, media spotlight, home game, that is when we learn what this team and its coaches are made of.
What were our standards before Hinkley arrived? We hadn't made the finals since 2007 and regularly got trounced as the club culture Choco had developed slowly disintegrated in the wake of that horrible Grand Final. Hinkley has galvanized the evolving playing group, got us playing tough, attacking football and set standards of performance and behavior that we rarely waver from. It's all well and good to slag the coach but premierships don't grow on trees. What's the alternative?Oh how our standards have fallen under Hinkley.

Oh boy you really do swallow the sh*t Kochie feeds you.
Bullying and abuse do not a sound argument make.
Please try again.
I couldn't care less about Kochie. How would you describe the years following the 2007 Grand Final? Do you think for yourself or just follow the week by week mood that swings from 'We'll win the premiership' to 'Sack Hinkley'.Oh boy you really do swallow the sh*t Kochie feeds you.
