Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 18 - Suns v Port Sun July 14th 1:10pm AEST (People First)

I hope Jason wasn’t expecting to win finals over at port

Simpson has a 50% win rate compared to Hinkley's 60% win rate, would be too risky going for Simpson in my opinion.
Clarkson is contracted at North for another three years.
If Port get rid of Hinkley, then who are they going to get? Who else is out there?

Matty Nicks is gettable!

Lacklustre, very lucky to have not lost by much more.

Time for all no-hopers to leave our club ASAP

Agree give Kenny the tools he needs to succeed.

I was responding to the post that mentioned Simpson being lined up to return to North. Simpson was my first choice now that he is available. Whether he’d want to is a different matter.

Hinkley has a game plan that is based on winning as many of the games were expected to win, not a game plan that is designed to consistently challenge the best. He coaches for win rate, not premierships.

Give it up Huddo, Port weren't a chance of winning this even if Finlayson kicked that goal.

They have to make it as entertaining as possible I guess. Kind of like last night when Essendon were down by 3 goals with a minute left.

Until your rabble make a final, I think any losses he may play in will still have him in front.

Job done. The home record remains intact and the finals race remains on despite some results not going our way around the grounds. Hardwick will be really happy with how his team defended the corridor and defensive 50. Keeping a dangerous team like Port to 22 scores and 12 goals is a huge win for one of the better defensive groups in the league.

In the middle the leaders and the young ones can be very happy with their performance particularly Davies and Anderson who had 19 clearances between them to help win the clearance battle. To have Davies, Graham and Rosas go through stoppage without Miller and Witts and win the war against arguably the best midfield in the league is a massive win and response to the performance last week.

Collins again showed why he would be All-Australian-worthy this season. He bossed the backfield all day and kept Dixon quiet who only took one big mark on Ballard. Powell backed him up further up the ground and looked imperious in the second half as the Suns defended their lead. Granted the Power’s forward line was under-Powered, it was still a very impressive showing........

The Suns now have a really tough road game in Sydney against the Giants where they haven’t won in 11 years. The Giants have come back into form just in time to despatch the Suns. They have to see this as a serious chance to right the ship and break the streak against a good side. Port are similarly up and down and we looked better than them. Go and impose yourselves for once. Good job today, lets see if they can keep up the momentum and avoid looking like wooden spooners for the last few rounds of the year for the first time ever.

Amazing coaching effort by Ken to get within 2 goals of an unbeaten at home GC especially after going 2 players down early. Deserves a lot of credit for that
