What's the context here?
The club shit on his 12yo daughter and threatened to report him to the AFL for swearing they did them a favour? ...what?

The only time I allow myself to do it (and enjoy it) is if we have already played or it's a bye week. These are the laws of superstition and causality.

Oh, I don't know, it seems pretty reasonable behaviour to me. I mean, if I was a Port (or Norf, or Saints)fan, I would probably want to do that, too.
It baffles me how North and West Coast get more “Prime time” games, then what we did. We were clearly the better side of the 3 last year. Least it’s not as bad as 2014, where for about a 6 week period, their Friday highlight was Carlton getting smashed.
We should be insisting on more tv prime time slots next year. As we are an attractive team to watch.

Their list is propped up by a very good midfield. Not really much beyond that to get excited about. Still Port supporters expect them to be top of the ladder for some reason.
Ken’s time is clearly up, it looks like the list needs a clean up and a mini reset as well.
Booing the coach though is garbage behaviour.

I dunno. I've been through some pretty nasty stuff in my life and even disregarding that, I sat through us being smashed by Port by 138 and 96 in successive years at freezing cold Football Park and never once did I think I should punch myself in the dick for an hour afterwards.
But, each to their own. As I've always said to my offspring; your body, your choice.

Good. If we don't take them seriously we become complacent and we won't win a premiership that way.

I think it was something to do with the 12 yr old was supposed to meet the players post match but after the loss the meet got scrapped (from what I remember in the sack hinkley thread)What's the context here?

the sack hinkley thread is the expression of passion being frustrated and dismissed by their own clubYou do know if you spend too much time on other teams boards the portal could close and you'll be stuck there forever

Your point notwithstanding - Saturday night isn’t prime time. People go out on weekends - the prime time games are Thursday and Friday.

The difference is, mate, you are a Hawk supporter, not a Port supporter. Put yourself in their shoes.

I love that thread - I wish the Raiders had fans that passionate who wouldn’t put up with an incompetent, nepotistic board who are more intent on looking after the boy’s club than winning premierships.

A 60% + winning rate and a bunch of finals and prelims. North and saints supporters would punch themselves in the dick just to get to that level.
I can’t think of a season when they supposedly should have won the flag. They probably deserved to play in at least one GF in his tenure but it’s hardly been a massive flop or choke.

At our best people tune out because they hate us, and at our worst we don't have the drawing power of people tuning in to watch a train wreck

West Coast have a lot of size and speed in the middle. It can make them look very dynamic but they've been poor at defending transition, particularly when the bombers are switching to the fat side.

Brocky has 3 clearances halfway through the second. Good to see him getting his hands on it and I hope he can bounce back from earlier form.

Is there anyone at port that may come our way on the cheap now...except for Hinkley

Nah, I’m here for it. If the club’s board won’t do its job then the fans have every right to give them a heads up. 13 years of squandering some fairly decent lists there and continually getting extensions having delivered nothing - I’d be furious too.

I want Butters for the fact that I can use the phrase ‘that’s his bread and butters!’
He also plays football alright too as an added bonus.

It's also an example of hubris, entitlement and the magical thinking that their SANFL form would immediately catapult them into heavyweight status.
It's a supporter group that is notoriously fickle. They could find their way to Football Park when things were going well, but then it was interesting to hear a reframed argument when the tarps came out that the non-attendance was a protest against the SANFL because they felt they weren't getting enough money from them.
