Was always a bad sign when they came into the game after thumping wins over Essendon and Brisbane That last quarter was pretty abysmal |

Port are paying a pretty hefty price believing the hype of one kick from a final. They need a midfield coach, they have been playing 18 months without one, not good enough. |

We need a bit more than that. We need a bit of pride in the jumper. A bit of ticker. Live the creed! |

I think there needs to be a bit of an overhaul in the club and accountability to the mistakes that have gone on. Port have an enviable record in SA for keeping players but it has come at a cost. The salary cap is only so big and people like Trengove, Butcher, Hartlett, Boak are on above market rates. There is nothing wrong with paying one or two stars above market rates but there are a few on Ports list that aren't good enough to demand that and combined with Dixon and Ryder getting 1.4 mil a season between them, makes it hard for Port to get some genuine 6-18 players in the side. Port haven't traded players when they should have. Now, we are all victim to this, you only have to look back a few seasons to think "if only we traded that spud out then". Port could have traded Butcher and Lobbe for first round picks and Lobbe is the one that really hurts, pick 11 Port was offered and this is a team that was going into a draft for the third year without a first round pick. Tough decisions needed to be made but Ken and the recruiting panel couldn't see eye to eye. Michael Voss, can't coach, just can't. Was a failure as a coach and if Ken is to be backed in, he needs really good assistants who have a clear game plan and ideas. Ken is a good assistant coach, he is close to his players and that can be bypassed with good helpers but Port only have one at present, Chad. Players 6-22 aren't good enough. Port have some genuine elite talent but all teams do. Players in the second 11 of a team are the key and Port have players in that list that wouldn't be picked up as DFAs by Brisbane. The problem with trading out first and second round picks for three years is genuine talent that you can pay cheaply hasn't come through to take those spots so plodders get those roles. Believing the hype: Port replaced the "kick from a GF" with "having our Geelong 2006" bullshit. At no point did Port think or admit it wasn't good enough it kept up the lie and hoped it would get better. I watched the Crows do the same thing and was lucky that the worlds most listenable commentator Riccutio saw through the bullshit and said "enough". Ken needs to separate himself from the players: Why would you give Monfries another contract? Young is playing his role, move Monfries on, 30 and a year out of football, FMD just cut the losses. I don't take pleasure in seeing Port being shit, I am not that guy, though I would take a lot of pleasure seeing us top 2 and us pumping you in a GF, but Port need to change, from KT and Kochie down, they need to support the playing group properly because atm the playing group are the only ones being judged |

Well said. It's a lot of promises and talking the talk with little to no action |
