Review R4 2025 - Port lose at home to St Kilda lol

[240volt]

There's a few things going on Chux trucks retiring, loading of small/medium forwards, handball happy & Josh having more influence at a guess. It's not Hinkleyball.

It’s worse than Hinkleyball, the season is well and truly over, play guys like Lorenzo and co and see who’s going to be worth keeping when we hopefully slaughter the list at years end.
Seen enough of guys like Mead and co, it’s never going to happen for these sorts.
And no more Captain Rozee, his game has gone backwards since he took over.

 

[JimmyBC]

Trade value. Looking bad if we drop him.

I don't really give a shit tbh you start hitting some fukcin' targets or your trade value will plummet anyway.

 

[chachi11]

Nah he's just talking nonsense. This is all Ken's doing.

I think we'll be seeing less handball from now on. Looked like they were told at quarter time to park it. We don't have the skill to pull it off.

We don't have the skill to kick either

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

A lot of blame here directed at Ken. Is it his game style or team selection that causes frustration?

he is a career loser

name 1 notable thing he has ever won

Head coaching role at Port Adelaide.

**** me, I'm all out of enemies.

 

[Waspy79]

Is there proof of this?

Hinkley is a cuck if true

I’d suggest Hinkley is more a team player than he is given credit for - he’s adopting Carr’s game plan in prep for the end and he is actually playing kids. We haven’t seen Atkins or McEntee when in past years they would have been rolled out by now.

He did suggest after the round one flogging that he was implementing a new game plan. If it isn’t Carr’s then the club is more incompetent than anyone could have imagined.

I have less faith in Carr and the idea of this handover to Carr by the game.

 

[Portmagpies36]

I thought he had been subbed off at one stage because I hadn't seen him at all. Then saw him, y'know just out there.

Didn't realise he had only 1 kick.

A guy who has played 200 AFL games just disgraceful but there will be no accountability straight in the side next week like nothing happened!

Ford it is time to take the blinkers off.

This is the most frustrating thing about all of this.
Zero accountability by everyone.

 

[backtozero]

I dont care what the gameplan is and who came up with it.

We were blown out in the first quarter against an average side. That means the motivation wasn't there, like it so often hasn't been in the past.

It's up to the guy who cheerleads from the bench to motivate the players.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

And it is Josh Carr’s.

It’s time for a Sack Carr thread - not joking.

Could be.
The current transition situation is like ordering a 1/2 ham & cheese pineapple, 1/2 supreme pizza.
But unfortunately sometimes there’s too much pineapple & ham on the supreme side.
Which basically makes it a ham, cheese, pineapple pizza with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions & peppers on a classic crust.
Yum!

 

[Lefti93]

Hard to blame Carr for this. It's all just a diabolical shitshow. This season was never going to be anything less than a failure when they announced the leech would be getting a send off. It's a symptom of the pissantry from the top. Nothing below stood a snowballs chance in hell. Players dropping simple marks, 2 players not talking and leaving the ball for the saints player to take uncontested possession and run away. More than one head needs to roll at the end of this gigantic pissbowl, yet we all know it won't. **** off Davies, Richo, Koch, Cardone. The no hopers Chad Cornes, Sutcliff, Goldsack, Hartlett can all follow suit. Nuke it.

I’m sure the likes of Geof Motley, John Cahill and Russel Ebert never needed any motivation.
These guys today play only for the money and nothing else.

 

[Portmagpies36]

We have just tried to make so many changes at once and none of them are working. It has gone absolutely pear shaped.
Sydney last night smashed North Melbourne they only had 11 players from their Grand Final playing. More importantly a new coach!

 

[JB2QB]

Handball heavy shit show. We need a major turnover of the entire coaching staff. Need some hard nosed campaigners to get the best out of our piss weak players.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

SPP back to being crap. Jones crap. Bergman can’t kick. Mead useless. Rozee soft. Georgiades average kicking. Evans crap. Sweet poor.

To many on the list just aren’t pulling their weight.

Longmire did the right thing and stood down and Sydney have just carried on.
Hawthorn sacked Clarkson West Coast sacked Simpson they are all premiership coaches FFS

i heard rumours carr is going to do a big cull, get rid of all the shit on our list.

Yeah I agree it’s not the fault of Carr, but I firmly believe what we are trying to implement is his game, and I firmly believe the players need a new voice from outside the club. They need to be a bit scared and accountable.

Can we add Lobbe to your list of sackings? The sight of him is interesting to say the least. He was a very mediocre ruckman yet somehow has the qualities to coach rucks how to ruck? The whole club is taking the piss.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Look at the bright side. We'll have a very early pick in the 2nd round of next year's draft lol

 

[Dazalinko1988]

We will learn from this

" Ken Hinkley "

It’s been light on for a while, only thing that has covered it up is individual performances by guys like Butters.
