Hinkley.

Re: Sharp Axes

One of the questions I have is, is there another Michael Voss among the candidates for vacant coaching positions? Someone who has done it once and ****ed it up, and is ready to go again after doing the ground work at other clubs.

To me he's in his own category as a "new" coach, and credit to him for sticking with it.

Last coach to win a flag at his second club was Mick Malthouse. He then went and won another with his third club.

So whilst I don't disagree with you, recent history says you either win it with club#1 or you don't win it at all...

Re: Sharp Axes

I said this a little while ago in another thread, but didn't get any support from other posters.

Last year we were the number one centre clearance side, and we stopped the rot from the GF debacle. This year we have slipped right back, even though Tim is now one of the best tap ruckman. What changed from last year? Yes Dunkley is gone, but he never really attended many CBAs, Macrae is no longer in the centre? and Lade has taken over the mids.

We really didnt though, everything that we have seen with regards to capitulating in quarters is just an extension of what we did last year.

In regards to Lade, yep our midfield work has regressed this season so questions need to be asked.

You did but whilst we were winning CBAs we were conceding 6 goals without scoring 1 so it was kinda pointless

Is there a stat for that or just gut feel? I know this year we were pretty average:

Five-plus goal streaks conceded in 2023


23 - West Coast
16 - Hawthorn, North Melbourne
13 - Gold Coast
11 - Western Bulldogs
9 - Essendon
8 - Fremantle
7 - Adelaide, Richmond, St Kilda
6 - Greater Western Sydney
5 - Carlton, Collingwood, Port Adelaide, Sydney
4 - Brisbane, Geelong, Melbourne

Not sure what Port are going to do with Hinkley????
I almost was reminded of the sound of music : what to do with Maria?

Back him another year and he fails, media storm will be brewing of wasted list , poor coaching etc?.. Or sack him and get another coach

I had them as flag favourites when they smashed Brisbane in the early round
The resigning may have been premature.

I posted a thread about it last year as it absolutely killed me. Going through each game was painful.

He'll have the best ruckman in the league next year so the sky's the limit!

I kid, I kid. He's a bit of a Koala given his poor finals record versus his tenure. I guess the twang and colloquialisms he speaks in resonate with the media types.

Helps he doesn't attack the media like Bevo ha!

Bevo said of Kane Cornes 'I don't know how people around you can live with you, how they can lie in bed with you, how they can look at themselves in the mirror'.

Bevo literally assaulted Damian Barrett in a toilet.

Bevo smashed Tom Morris in that press and the grubs generally stick together.

Yep some guys are on easy street with the media but of course Bevo is going to get hated on when we struggle. He has not helped himself at all.

And that's only what's on the public record! You'd gotta imagine he's had words with them all face-to-face or on the phone at some point.

It does put pressure on himself, and I think he could've phrased a few of his attacks better. That said, I kinda like that he throws the odd haymaker.

Me too. All of that. Not trying to have a go at him. He doesn't suffer fools, he isn't really into being the bigger person if he feels he is in the right and he feels any hill is worth dying on. The AFL media are generally gross af and Bevo is righteous af. Not a good mix.
