Yeah I mentioned that at the time it happened. Others did similar right throughout the game.
I didn't really watch the game, but i don't know whether to p!ss myself laughing or be salty.
I honestly thought Port would flog Geelong. I actually had a bet on them to win by 40+. It's not because i think Port are any good, but i think Geelong's ladder position is inflated by all the games the play at Kardinia Park. But as it turns out, that extra home game Port gets every year probably inflates their ladder position.
Geelong making another Prelim really annoys me. I just don’t think they are that good. But I also think there is no standout team out there. Anyone can steal a flag this year. And with a home Prelim against an interstate team (assuming Carlton loses tomorrow), the cards seem to be falling their way.
Going back to Port, I’m starting to think JHF is the most overrated player since James *smile*. The media drool over this guy, yet he’s as soft as butter and goes missing when it counts.
As for Ken Hinkley… surely he is finished now? He should be checking to see if the West Coast job is still available.
I think it's harmless. But the reason why i don't think it works is because a footy club that is 150 years old is trying to manufacture a new tradition. These things should grow organically instead of being thrusted upon you.
What makes it really cringe is when the likes on BT compare it to YNWA. This is where the ridicule originates from.
No *smile* way.

No draft currency Jack. They spent it all on duds like Knee Zerk. They need Houston to leave but he is their best player. They are cooked. And so is Kenny.
I am surprised you didnt mention Sir Charles?
I know it’s folly to say “you can’t win a flag with (insert certain players here)” but geez, watching Port last night with Ratagalea, Dixon and BZT…geez it looks unlikely now. I wonder what history says about a team losing their QF by 84 points. Straight sets?
My brother just said this to me...
Port: Never tear us apart
Geelong: Hold my beer
Port: Never tear us apart
Geelong: Hold my beer
Not convinced on Dempsey. Wouldn't run top 5 in the Rising Star if everyone was eligible.
But Mannagh, oh boy, what a performance in a final from a 26 year old who ran around in the VFL for years.
They are out there. We must find them as part of the rebuild.
And Stephen Wells is no good. That will go down in PRE history.
‘Clown’: Kane Cornes apologises after locking co-host out of studio
Kane Cornes has apologised for “unprofessional” behaviour following his Port Adelaide team’s qualifying final implosion.Kane Cornes was nowhere to be seen when his radio show began on Friday morning following Port Adelaide’s abysmal performance against Geelong on Thursday night.
The footy shock jock showed up late to work for his breakfast radio show on SEN after simply getting his time zones wrong.
The 41-year-old’s blunder left co-host David King locked out of the network’s Adelaide studio and left producers scrambling.
What on earth was Hinkley thinking last night ?
He selects Queen Dixon and goes with a 3 tall forward line - one of whom is a redundant, extra light tower. Then he starts JHF on the bench. Then he selects a backline that is perfectly set up to be overrun by a fleet of small forwards and mids going through there. No wonder Chris Scott mentioned he thought they could get Port Adelaide's defence for the fact.

They certainly are Scoop, I’ve mentioned a few on the state league thread.
I was only thinking the other day about Dimmas comments a few years ago that if you spend too long in the VFL you just become a VFL player. I don’t prescribe to that theory. Mannagh an example , our own Marlion another, Noble etc etc. Yep, they’re out there, you need a recruiter with who’s willing to “lower his eyes” and have a look, identify the mature talent and back themselves.
