Was listening to ABC radio in the car about 30 minutes ago, and hearing Jules Schiller preview the game by saying it’s “a battle of the two Magpies” made a very happy change from other local radio stations here

I'm just nodding my head that ABC News managed to turn an article about a (now) local basketball player retiring into the crows cheating the salary cap with Tippett. Fantastic trolling.An Olympic basketballer has quit the sport because of abuse from the sidelines during her final season playing in Adelaide...
While the AFL has dealt with booing and abuse against players — notably Sydney Swans' Adam Goodes and Kurt Tippett — Johnston said it hit basketball players harder.
"The difference is basketball is so close and when you're in the game you hear it more," he said...
Tippett left the Adelaide Crows for Sydney in 2012 but was then fined $50,000 by the AFL and suspended for half the 2013 season.
Adelaide Crows were fined $300,000 for breaching the salary cap and tampering with the draft.
Finally a bit of heat from 360.https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-360-carlton-great-mark-maclure-blames-coach-ken-hinkley-for-powers-poor-performance/news-story/7f25e9cbaf9123d5035e8db6bb6555ed
Hopefully the club isn't ignoring the noise.

“They pick a small forward line but they slow the play down. How is a small forward line going to compete against eight or nine people in the back half? It’s so poor, it’s pathetic. They had five shots at goal in the first quarter, four shots in the second quarter, four in the third and one shot in the last (at the) 25 minute mark they kicked a goal."
Fantastic stuff.
Thanks for posting that link. Beyond embarrassing it was damning and Mc Clure is right 100%.https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-360-carlton-great-mark-maclure-blames-coach-ken-hinkley-for-powers-poor-performance/news-story/7f25e9cbaf9123d5035e8db6bb6555ed

Dont leave out the midfield. They're terribleYep - everyone but kern and co can see the disfunctional ruck & forward situation.
The Melbourne media are finally calling him out. Remember he is a former well known geelong player. Adelaide media wont call him out because they love that he's a crap coach. So far Roos, Kingy and McClure have been quite critical. Well overdue. The club cant ignore this, they can ignore us and say we are clueless but not the Melbourne footy media. Afl360 have been a great supporter of us but they'll only tolerate underperformance for so long even if it is a favourite son.Finally a bit of heat from 360.
Yes but this time it was directed squarely at Ken.Mark Maclure has been critical of us for quite some time
I'm not sure the club does know it. I believe the members convention was to educate the supporters about the great game plan due to hearing plenty of game day criticism from supporters. They think we dont get it but we do. We know its no good, they dont imo.Hard to argue with that.
Everyone knows it, no one at the club is brave enough to say it.
Tough competition my arse. We’re meant to be the ones who knock.
But even if one agrees with the plan, we have failed to execute it. This is on the coaches. They at least failed on their assumption that our players were able to put the plan in practice.I'm not sure the club does know it.

What bothers me, really, is that no one has come forward and apologized. It doesn't matter what went wrong. It went wrong. From the president to the leadership group, they should all be taking responsibility for this: "There is no excuse. This shouldn't have happened. We are better than this. We are embarrassed by and sorry for the way the season ended."
It will be a long off-season. There will be plenty of time for a proper diagnosis. Now, it is simply time to acknowledge we have shat the bad. Are we brave enough to do this?

That was cathartic to listen to.https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-360-carlton-great-mark-maclure-blames-coach-ken-hinkley-for-powers-poor-performance/news-story/7f25e9cbaf9123d5035e8db6bb6555ed

Could you post itAbsolutely, but again not for the first time. He had a segment recently, on 360, where he previewed the last few games and he took on the role of Kenny. His opening was along the lines of “Ive got you in this mess...”
Yep I am fuming at their ‘head in the sand,’ defensive, ‘she’ll be right’ attitude.But even if one agrees with the plan, we have failed to execute it. This is on the coaches. They at least failed on their assumption that our players were able to put the plan in practice.

True. I'd forgotten about that.Absolutely, but again not for the first time. He had a segment recently, on 360, where he previewed the last few games and he took on the role of Kenny. His opening was along the lines of “Ive got you in this mess...”
I also want better player development. Too many players have either stagnated or gone backwards.Yep I am fuming at their ‘head in the sand,’ defensive, ‘she’ll be right’ attitude.
That is how our neighbours do it.
That is NOT the Port way.
I want accountability.
I want mistakes owned and leanings and change from it.
You see, perhaps, this same exact people could come and do better next year. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be mad now; truth be told. If people IN THE CLUB believe we could have done better, they should be mad, too. They should be holding themselves accountable.Yep I am fuming at their ‘head in the sand,’ defensive, ‘she’ll be right’ attitude.

Yeah and ungrateful was the insinuation. Well at 11-4 there were plenty on here saying we were the worst club to hold 2nd place.I haven't minded Kochie but something still irks me about his comment on AA re everyone thought Ken was a superhero at 11-4 , insinuating we're quite the fickle supporter base.
