Also, Hogan was "ill disciplined" but we're about to recruit McAdam and recruited Hunger lol

I know we got good value for all of them but gee whiz, you can't ignore the common denominator of forwards wanting to leave.

and Hogan smashed it at Freo didn’t he?

the kid wasn’t right and wanted to leave. 

zero blame on the club

Port are lucky to only be 6 goals down.

Yes, Giants are on a Demons scoring streak, keeping Port in the game, just about.

There's a lot of criticism about Goodwin but I don't think anyone here is crazy enough to think he should be sacked.

Hinkley definitely shouldn't have lasted as soon as he has.

I’ve been iffy on Goodwin for a while. I think the club needs really clear hurdles for any extension beyond the current one. 
 

I think we start with some fresh voices underneath him though and see what happens 

Can’t afford to wait too long unless one is confident of finding the next Oliver and tracc

GWS is one class above PA. In my view, I consider Pies, PA, and Syd to be on a similar level, while Melb, Carlton and Bris are better than them. GWS should beat the Pies comfortably next week, and the umpires won't be able to help the Pies much. I wouldn't be surprised if GWS won the Premiership.

Correct had social behaviour issues and would always be a risk ..  maybe the Penny dropped at gws non football state etc .. you can imagine the if he did come back and went of track, posters would say why dud we get him back!

I know Goody maybe feeling it right now but this is a summary of Hinkleys finals record with Port:

2014 - 10-1 and two games clear on top of the ladder after Round 12, didn't even make top 4.
2020 - On top of the ladder literally every round of the home and away season, lost home prelim.
2021 - Lost home prelim by 71 points against injury hit fifth placed team who went on to get smacked by 12 goals in the Grand Final.
2023 - Three games clear in the top 2 with seven rounds to go. Won't even make a prelim.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
