People wondering why Geelong are still up top.. the answer is simple. Victorian Government want Geelong up top... as it's in their best interests, they don't want the City of Geelong ending up like Detroit... which is what would happen if the Cats were to spend extended time out of the finals!!
It's in the best interests of the Victorian Government for the Geelong Football Club to remain successful... because if the Cats were to spend extended time out of the finals.. the City of Geelong would crumble and end up like Detroit!!
Don't get me started on Geelong being allowed to give their players house and land packages.. outside of the salary cap! This is the modern day equivalent of Carlton giving their players brown paper bags full of cash!!
With everyone else having lost a game in 2024.. the question must be asked, can Geelong go undefeated?? I don't see why not! All the leg ups from the government and AFL have made them far too strong!!
I said it at the time and I'll say it again.. the AFL using their Gold Coast franchise to hand...
Opposition fans and media personalities all talk about how great Hinkley is for Port... but when it comes to having Hinkley coaching their own club.. they wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole! Says it all really!!
How does Ken still have a job?? If this was anyone else at any other club.. they would have been turned years ago!! Brett Ratten is a prime example... he delivered mediocre results and got turfed as a result!
Southport should be given the licence! We've seen the difference between a traditional club in Port Adelaide.. and a franchise club in Fremantle!
Southport = Port Adelaide.
GC Suns = Fremantle.
You know it makes sense.. but AFL House lacks common sense.
Everyone says this about runners up, every year without fail. Reality is, Brisbane have been near the top end for five years.. the shorter pre seasons will eventually take their toll, and see them regress slightly after a few years near the top!
Hinkley did go overseas a few years back.
It's just a coincidence it was in the final year of his contract, where Port had to make finals in order to trigger an extension into 2021.
That's like saying LeBron James has had a better career than Michael Jordan.. finals appearances and all that!
LeBron James - 10 finals appearances.
Michael Jordan - 6 finals appearances.
Do you rate LeBron James higher than Michael Jordan??
Give me the job.. and if Port make finals... I'll be saying how exciting it is to play finals!! Whenever I played finals back in my playing days, it was always so exciting!!
Seriously.. what kind of person says finals are scary?? In any sport at any level? Ever?
Port have far more resources now than back then.. yet their computer analyst is Jordan Hinkley?? What skills and qualifications does he have for that position, exactly?
