2000? Probably the most dominate year any team has ever had.

You could argue their systematic salary cap and tax breaches between 1991 and 1996 allowed them to unfairly keep the band together.

But then you could also argue our paying the likes of Tredrea, Lade and Francou to stay out of the draft until we entered the league serves as a level of compromisation.

Yes, you could argue that but given that the draft is itself of dubious legality and that the AFL reneged on the original entry conditions/concessions it had agreed to, I would say it was a fair move by Port.

That said, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been done if the current regime were running the club back then - they would have just bent over and taken it in the arse.

The 20 good minutes of football the Demons played made it even worse tonight because it showed the talent is there”

Just like us and all those times we finished Top 2/Top 4. It’s been obvious for a while that it’s not a talent issue.


The 20 good minutes of football that we play every so often is because of Kenny's genius and not the other way round. Poor Kenny doesn't have the list.

It’s fascinating that Goodwin’s list gets upgraded and he gets downgraded because they actually did breakthrough and win that flag — despite not being able to win a solitary final since.

Whereas Hinkley’s list gets downgraded and he gets upgraded because he can’t breakthrough despite being in a commanding position to, on a handful of occasions.

Bizarroworld.
 
The idea that members would just appoint nuffies and that chairmen/presidents would not be able to have/encourage people they want on the board is just bs and divorced from reality.

Members would expect and demand performance and accountability. The way to get that performance is to have people with different and the right skillsets. Ten or twelve ex footballers wouldn't produce that and would not happen.

Give us back our club.
 
I still see (the retention of) hinkley as a symptom.
Co-captains
The Ebert game
Poor trades
Prison bars
Insipid media coverage
Banal social media
No evidence of any independent thought except the odd orchestrated tantrum from Koch

All symptoms.

Excise the disease.
Ironically AFC 2028 will be the trigger as pinnoichio becomes a real boy while we are lying on the carvers table covered in sawdust.

Hope I live long enough to see independence.

But as I sit here listening to uncle dermie I begin to doubt it.

I'm having a gap year from football hope you all aren't too depressed and disorientated. How are the tossers who pooh-poohed me when I said Logan Evans had deficiencies in his game and said we wouldn't miss Houston. Hi!

Don't think I was one of them, but that's a tad smug don't ya think - there's a lot more going wrong with the club than those two little gems atm.

No I don't think it was you... but I do like to smack back occasionally. Got a ban from the Cows board for coming back 2 years later saying.. So Shane McAdam's in your best 22 ...how's that going?
 
If this does become yet another ‘Where Are The Hinkley Haters Now?!!!™’ game, it’ll be ultimate proof we’re living in a simulation designed by that goober over yonder who faked his own death.
