Who will be better in 2024? Crows or Port?

Crows have lost their attacking flair and it's mainly due to the decline of Walker.

I disagree....

Even without Walker, Rachele and Rankine are flair players most AFL sides want.

No, it’s the guy in the box.

Having 2021-23 Walker would definitely help but it doesn’t explain the complete lack of bravery and freedom in the ball movement as well as the basic skill errors across the board, including players who are highly skilled.

I dont think the main reason why the crows are struggling is the coach. Some of the older and key players are underperforming.

So how come freo hasnt won 15 finals in 30 years?

Because Freo are worse than bog average. And that has created an environment where losers like you see someone like Hinkley as a success because you see mediocrity as something to strive for, since even mediocrity would be a step up on your dogshit team.

You are partially right.

Years Port made finals under Hinkley: 2013, 2014, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023.

years Port missed out in finals under Hinkley: 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2022.

6 years made finals, 5 years didnt.

6 out of 11 isnt bad.

5 finals wins in 10-12 years isnt bad.

But I would love freo to be as well run as your mob from 2013-24.
