I know that some have been suggesting the likes of Knights and Ayers and taking the piss, some havn't, but I would rather see Bassett than either of them two.

As I've said to mates, NOT fitting it at the Magpies isn't such a bad thing.

GWW, you didn't need to be Einstein to work out he was the "coach to get us through between Sheedy and Hird" surely?

Lets just say that Hinkley gets the job, which I think he will, remember he has spent 6 or 7 years at Geelong, the same stable as B. Sanderson came from. That didnt work out too bad for the Crows.
Al Clarkson was just an average player who became a pretty good coach.
I reckon Ports next most important appt is Darren Burgess- The Fitness coach. I really don't think that our best 22 is that bad, depth and too many injuries to our best players is a big part of the problem.
With everyone fit and not including Salter, Hitchcock, Banner and Phillips who I think will be delisted, this could be our team. They just need to sat on the park

F- R. Gray John Butcher Westhoff

HF - Broadbent Schulz P. Stewart

C- Cornes Boak Wingard

HB - Pittard Trengrove Moore

B- Cassisi Carlile Surjan

R- Redden, Ebert, Hartlett

Interchange - (from)Brett Ebert, Lobbe, Thomas, D. Stewart, Logan, Pfeiffer, Logan, O' Shea, Jonas, Blee, Renouf ( the first 5 in, then a blanket over the rest)

This isn't including Rodan and Jacobs who are doubtful, as well as possible additions in Monfries, Russell any trades and draft picks.

Any thoughts ???

Hopefully, this isn't reflected in the way whoever it is goes about things and ends up being directly proportional to the success of the club from 2013 onwards.

Port need to sort this mess out ASAP and attempt to get some stability sooner rather than later or next season will be a dogs breakfast and wooden spoon favouritism may follow.


They have lost 2 of there starting 22 dont have a coach and couldnt beat the gws this year. I thought it was already inferred spoon favouritism?

Once our squad for 2013 is confirmed, I would expect us to look quite a bit different to that.

Whether thats good or bad is still to be seen. I would expect us to be reasonably active in the next 2 and a bit weeks though.

I agree to an extent that the best 22 aren't too bad, but there are still passengers. Westhoff i don't think is up to AFL standard, he goes missing and his hardness is questionable. Lobbe and Redden are good backups at best, Renouf is probably ahead of them but didn't have a great season. Carlile is pretty average too, but isn't helped by the rest of the side letting him down. I like the way Trengove goes about it, but I'm not sure if he can hold down CHB though; hopefully he can, cause without Chaplin that's probably where he'll be.

I havn't seen really anything from Jacobs, but was a high draft pick. Hopefully he stays and shows something.

Even though it's only Rucc, it looks like it's definitely Hinkley as quotes from Eade's manager confirm he's been told he's out.

For me that side wont win to many games. No real pace of X factor, it will rely massively on Gray and Hamish being fit and providing the match winning x factor/polish. The rest are workman like players with Boak and Ebert and possibly Broadbent (who imporved) being the best of the rest, wingard and Butcher are still an unknown for their impact on the side and John is another injury prone player. I just dont see the ball getting into the fwd line quick enough.

F@#k Rucci is a knob... didn't he report earlier in the week that Eade had pulled out of the running? WTF is Rucci doing... take a stab often enough and you might come up with something that ressembles the truth.

I hope you aren't suggesting here that Hinkley was just an average player. Hinkley was a brilliant defender for the Cats and is comfortably ahead in football ability of Sanderson and way ahead of that sniper Clarkson.

He did pull out of the running, then when Cameron pulled the pin the POWA obviously went crawling back to Rocket - He may have re considered or been thinking and then BEEP BEEP... BEEP BEEP :oops:
