It's so hard to win and yet 7 clubs have actually won in Hinkley's time as coach and 12 clubs have played off for one in Hinkley's time as coach.
This portrayal of Port fans by the media as this delusional set of fans who think they should win the flag every year and are disenfranchised because they don't couldn't be further from the truth. I think most fans would just be happy if our club started by being an average performing club over the long term rather than a below average performing club.
Taking out the two expansion clubs for obvious reasons, 8 of the other 15 clubs have won more premierships than us since we entered the AFL whilst 4 of the other 15 clubs have won the same number. The only clubs to have fared worse than us are Carlton, St Kilda and Fremantle.
If the club are happy to judge themselves against that latter trio then great. But I would suggest it's reasonable for us to be at least slightly dissatisfied and demand at least a little bit more from our club, irrespective of what its SANFL history says.
