Matty's successful late-season tenure has to be tempered by our favourable draw.

We beat four sides roughly in the same situation as us: Melbourne, Richmond, Adelaide and West Coast.

And another really not too far ahead that we match-up well against: Hawthorn.

Great to finish off another disappointing year with a few wins.

But convincing enough to appoint Primus?

But why shouldn't the club look at all their options? In fact if they weren't looking at every available option, they'd be extremely negligent.

That surely has to be the right approach ... Look at all options and unless there is a clear standout, then you already have the man for the job.

Whilst I know they were wins for the club (that might have been losses previously), there would still be some question marks over the manner in which they beat WCE and Richmond.

I honestly think Port would be best served by someone that doesn't have any attachment or affiliation to the current regime as Matty does, but Port as a club have been true to their spirit/creed for 100+ years and it's always served them pretty well, so it's hard to argue against if they head down the MP path.

Primus........apparently an extremely smart football brain, has the players' support, has a marketable persona, has them playing good attacking footy...........

Alan Richardson - assistant coach at a dud club who have been coached poorly, so what can he really offer? His resume is still pretty thin.

Scott.......only been involved in a successful club for one season in a coaching capacity. Freo were crap last year.....

McCartney..........who?

You could apply that same logic to Primus.

He rates Primus very highly, and he reckons Primus has introduced a new system, that he refused to say, that has the players up and about.

He was certainly a great leader on the field, and let's face it, they could use a player with Norwood blood at the helm.
5 from 7 is a great effort after 8 losses on the trot.
