Opinion Which H/A loss under Hinkley has been the most embarassing?

[NoddyHolder]

So many ‘sliding doors’ moments in that last quarter alone. I’ve never felt so deflated after a game than that.

It was the entire Hinkley era condensed into 3 hours

That Carlton game in 2015 at the MCG is still the worst umpired game I've ever seen

The loss to Sydney in our home opener in 2015, the Farris INXS pregame thing was just plain embarassing, where Jared Redden had ZERO hitouts at half time

The second after-the-siren loss to West Coast, that was the moment when it finally dawned that we're not playing finals after being 11-4 halfway through the season

Everyone knows a person who will always tell you about their problems and nothing ever seems to go right for them - even when something good happens they are still miserable because they know the next setback is right around the corner.

How do you feel after talking to those kinds of people? Pretty miserable, right? They are like an emotional leech that sucks all the joy out of life.

That’s this thread. Why the * would you want to dwell on embarrassing losses? Get over it, FFS. s**t happens. As Charlie says to Maverick in Top Gun:

“Being the best of the best means you make mistakes and you move forward, it’s just like the rest of us.”

The trouble is though, we are not moving forward.

I'd like to nominate tribey to do one of these for Ports.

Sack Hinkley

 

[PAFC66]

Multiple Carlton losses away from home.

Hangon no North by close to 100 in a game we had to win this year. That was comedy gold.

Strap yaselves in though.. next year we are bottom 4 .

 

[PAFC66]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! First thing that appeared to me in the link:

'What is wrong with Port Adelaide?'
The question Ken Hinkley can't answer after a devastating loss that sees him in the firing line

That's in 2016!

People wonder why the fans don't turn up now. I honestly fear for this club next year. They will be back to 2012 financial trouble in no time.

If my mate didn’t get me onto the NFL/Patriots these two would have me in a loony bin.

Just a shame the Sunderland one doesn't exist anymore

The North loss has to be right up there. Everything to play for against a spud team yet we managed to spud harder than them.

We have made them look like flag contenders.

This loss sums up the Hinkley reign

Roll in like millionaires and 3 mins in we are gone and despite waiting for us to fight back, we totally cave in, our leaders give nothing, our coaches give nothing and then to top it all off we have the Hinkley presser.

Against a side that had kicked 1 goal the previous week.

It’s like... come on. How is he still here? It’s ridiculous.

Aw gee credit to them we knew they'd come out hard after only kicking 1 goal in 2 hours of footy. We've got a long way to go before we can be a team anything like norf
