I still find it amazing that Hinkley has kept his job.
i really like Ken as a person, but that Performance from Port, at Home, should have been a Coach Killer…

What is he going to say to them now?

That PF loss was far worse than ours in 2018. They were at home, rested, in top form and everything was to their advantage unlike us. It was a capitulation of the worst order. Hinkley should have been sacked.

If you sack a coach for losing a prelim what do you do for the 14 coaches who don’t make it that far?

Kenny’s made the prelims 3 different times, never won less than 10 games or finished lower than 10th on the ladder. He’s evolved the side with trading prime midfielders to refresh the list to sustain success.

It’s certainly getting closer to the stage where you say he just can’t get it done but Port were a mess in the Primus years. There’s a strong case to stick by a coach who gets you to the penultimate weekend of the season rather than expect the grass to be greener.

I’d say 3 strikes you’re out. The last was the worst finals capitulation by any team that I could remember.

To turn it around, what are the fans saying to Hinkley? I can't be bothered to do a "what they're saying down at Alberton" opus, but if you check out the Port sub forum on bigfooty, you will see the natives are more than restless. Makes Goodwin circa 2019 seem like Barassi/Hafey/Sheedy/Clarkson combined.

Not suprised by that at all

i am still staggered Ken has kept the job, In the first half of a Home Preliminary Final, Port hardly laid a tackle.

There are ways to lose and ways to lose.
Kenny’s loss was worse than a shocker

It wasn’t his first attempt.

In my season rewatch I reached the prelim final last night. Unlike most games where I watch one quarter an evening this one I watched in one sitting.

It is arguably the most comprehensive performance of the season. Other than missing a few gettable goals in the second? quarter it was near faultless.

The GF was special and no one will forget that 35 odd minutes of domination but I think this game was the pinnacle performance wise.

Obvious kudos to Max but the performances by Brown, Spargo, Petty ANB..the list goes.... on are what should stand us in good stead in the coming season.

Watched this one again last week myself...

It was a great performance, the whole series was dominated by us.

One take away for me was I still don't understand why Salem wasn't an All Australian...I know we were heavily represented but the finals series showed why. Very stiff to miss out.

Watching the Prelim with the SEN commentary. Gerard Healey calling non free kicks for Geelong whilst frees the we get are lucky. I can’t work out if he dislikes Melbourne more than I dislike him

Biggest C next to UNO who. I only HATE 2 former Melbourne players. Please Stop printing his Full name, should be in the same bucket as TS.

AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond
AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
