Hot take prediction -

- Hawks destroy Port and Josh Carr is coach next round.

 

[Quazar2]

If Port win, they push Craplton down a spot. Plus against the Hawks.......so.

There's your faux 'death-ride' motivation, right there

 

[mayne iac]

Sicily is a flog

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Port up for it this week.

 

[freo84]

Go Port.

The wizard, what a joke, guy is a flopper

[MadMundy]

Come on Hawthorn I need my tips this week mate.

Don't make me go 7/9.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Ken somehow being the only one to have worked out Mitchell is an excellent bit.

 

[Quazar2]

Hawks percentage gone from 127.1 to 112.4 currently

 

[fleur]

Funniest rivalry in the league. Love that Hawks shit themselves against Port

 

[noise36]

Ok I am enjoying hawks getting embarrassed

 

[Dockeroo]

Got to admire the way Ken fires up his teams.
There are times when Port players look like they’d run through brick walls for him.

The level of ferocity port have brought so far tonight reminds me of us in the 2013 prelim final v Sydney. You don’t see it very often

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Hawks are about to get a thorough lesson in just how disinterested Barrass can get when he's obliged to put his working boots on.

 

[Quazar2]

I can't stand Port, but their percentage booster has pushed Vic-centric w***er-vankers Essendon, Bulldogs and Craplton all down a spot. Noiceeeeeeeeee!

This game really is the most Ken Hinkley thing ever. His team can look awful for weeks, but he does love a backs to the wall grudge match. (Except in a final)

 

[gaskin]

Just switched it on. WTF is happening?

 

[MadMundy]

I've seen enough, I think Port Adelaide should throw the succession plan out the window and sign Hinkley up for another 10 years.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Given the start to their last year and this game, clearly Will Day is the greatest player to ever live

 

[noise36]

Every other team will be studying this game , the smash hawks blueprint!

 

[dexter_]

this is crazy

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Every other team will be studying this game , the smash hawks blueprint!

Step 1, have Hawks not turn up

 

[academicbowl]

This is brilliant

 

[largebus]

4-1 is hardly panic stations but they were 40 pts down vs GWS remember as well. They're gettable on any day

Yep

I mean he’s clearly a limited coach and we all enjoy the lols at his expense(well mainly to Troll port supporters )but as a man manager type coach he’s actually one of the best in the league .

Other than the Covid season(even then they lost to a dynasty team )ive always been of the belief his teams have overachieved.

Certainly port supporters will get this eventually once carrs a few seasons into his reign.

FWIW if he was keen and we unfortunately end up stuck with our mad scientist coach id be keen to get kern across as an assistant .

At least we might actually get some fire and brimstone and or genuine passion back into our locker room

Cause it’s clearly one of longmuirs biggest weaknesses, amongst a few things
