[@vigour6786]

It’s not a problem with Port, it’s a problem with the fans and outsiders looking in. Sure they make finals and they put up a good fight against some of the better teams in recent history but you’re right, their list is not good and has never been good, last year they didn’t even have a dedicated ruckman for majority of the season and a depleted backline, yet were able to beat some of the biggest teams and make it into finals.

[@Kiggidydog]

You mean the same list thats finished top four or two for the majority of the last 4 years? What nonsense. The issue is they cant win big games under pressure - guess whos responsible for the teams mental fragility?? Hint: id youve played team sports at a decent level, youd know.

[@taliamason7986]

​@Pax.AlotinThe major difference there is you guys or the Bombers for that matter have never had the same Coach for over a decade not at least making a Grand Final appearance in all that time. That is why Port fans are absolutely fuming and very right so. It also doesn't help at all that Hinkley has been at that club almost as long an actual Premiership winning Coach before him.

Port sold the farm during trade week in 2023 thinking it would hold their Top 4 Ranking into 2024, and has been found out in recent weeks to be off their pace. Port fans knew that the streak they had last year was lucky and will be screaming “I told you so” given their form and run home at the end of season 2024. BZT was seriously a repeat winner of the reverse Coleman in years past at Essendon; we only wanted to keep him due to the unavailability of Ridley and pressure on Laverde as defenders - our defence has shaped up better relying on McKay, Ridley, Laverde. Esava was never getting a game at Geelong, and it was evident that he was not going to give much more of an impact once he got over to Port. In my opinion, it is a slippery slope over at Alberton coming soon.

Trying to improve something as complex as a club in its current state has the real high probability of becoming something worse than better. Right now, who really is better than Hinkley, who wants to be at Port Adelaide, who has an appropriate game plan and personality that is the difference to better the current situation? I doubt Port has the ability to draw better. I understand Hinkley has been at the helm for a long time, but people are not seeing reality, and the infighting by fans is a likely deterrent for any potential newcomers. Stop being emotional, think of real solutions first.

Sorry but all this sits on the players shoulders, they have screwed Hinkley over. You can’t say the list isn’t good or it’s over rated, it has some of the best players in the league and at time when they have been switched on we’ve seen what they can do but the last few games the players didn’t come out and play for their coach. Just about all of them are playing like they are depressed and have given up, if they loved their coach they would be killing themselves out on the ground so they can save him. Ken’s time is up, he looked like he was lost on the weekend and the players aren’t lifting for him so the best thing that can happen is for Ken to think about the club and walk away, Carr needs to take over until the end of the week so the club can see what he would do differently and if the players change their attitudes towards him and if they do t respond then he isn’t the man for next year
