Who think's that if Hinkley doesn't win the GF this year that next year will be his last as they would seriously be looking at Clarkson (for season 2023) now that Carlton and Collingwood (who are both looking for coaches for 2022) are out of the race?

Clarkson will be the coach of Port Adelaide in about 2 weeks time.
They cant afford to waste another year with Hinkley after they go out in straight sets this year, 9 years no flags, time to move him on.
I sincerely hope it doesnt happen, i more than ok with Port keeping Hinkley, th elast 9 years have been great

Scott handed that to port.
Why have a forward in defence?
Rohan should've been on Aliir and told not to let him mark the footy....ever.
Dumb move in my opinion.
Can port bring that pressure interstate.
If they do, they won't get beaten.
Ports to lose now.

With the chance to host a home preliminary final and earn a week off on the line Port Adelaide hosted Geelong in the first of the finals for 2021 and if Port’s performance on Friday night is anything to go by Port fans have every right to be optimistic. An emphatic 43 point win and another home preliminary final after earning the same right in 2020.

In front of 20,000 fans Port Adelaide won it’s 7th consecutive match and in doing so stamped ourselves as a contender. With the attention of the (Victorian) football world on Melbourne trying to break a 56 year drought, an ageing seemingly last shot Geelong or a Brisbane side also looking to go one better Port has been there, but not there, if you know what I mean ( I know you do ), but that’s just fine.

Geelong had the first chances, Miers, who kicks like a hack golfer swings missed, Hawkins in his 300th had a set shot go wide and with the ball rebounding to the southern goals Motlop opens the scoring running into an open goal and the Port faithful light up. Cameron evened the ledger before Gray, Ladhams and the silky smooth Fantasia bagged his first but it was defensively where Port had control. Aliir, on the back of his AA selection was immense in the first term, Hinkley in a savvy move sent Burton to Rohan leaving Aliir to take Dahlhaus or Miers meaning he could fly with condifence knowing his opponent wasn’t going with him. It was a master stroke. Aliir set the game up with intercept marks and from then on the Geelong forward line was disorganised, trying to get a match up to suit them. They couldn’t.

It was early in the second where the game looked to break open, Port had the first 5 scoring shots, Motlop with his 2nd, Fantasia soon matched him and the game, although still on, was well and truly in Ports hands. Geelong were dominating clearances but the pressure applied by Ports midfield meant the second move out of the contest was ineffective and this played into the hands of Ports running brigade, Amon and Duursma on the wings licking their lips at the inside work from Boak, Wines and Drew. Geelong with 1 for the term though Simpson and Port had 8 shots for 4.4 and the 29 point half time lead was enough to make this bloke feel like we were going to break the contest open.

After half time the Cats slowed things down a little, but that didn’t help them in their endeavours to score, Port were dominant when forward of centre, every Port forward looked like they could score (7 goals scorers) at anytime while Geelong’s forward line was still coming to terms with Ports set up, slowing things down was their only was to get back in the game and both sides had just one major for the term, Port dynamo Zak Butters the man for the occasion for Port and despite not winning a centre clearance for 3 quarters the game was in Ports keeping.

If it wasn’t at ¾ time is certainly was when the first centre clearance of the night resulted in Fantasia kicking his 4th just 21 seconds into the final term. You. Beauty. A quick response from Selwood was stymied by a goal to Gray and the contested possession count was 10 to 1 to start the final quarter, Port’s pressure had been relentless all night and it wasn’t about to stop. When Fantasia was subbed out the pressure only went up as Sam Powell-Pepper came into the contest and with fresh legs and a hunger for the contest SPP kicked 2 in 5 minutes and Travis Boak had led the way in the last term, 11 touches and 5 clearances, this man works as hard as anyone in the game from the first bounce to the final siren. What a man to have at our club setting standards for our next generation.

Port’s leaders again showing how it’s done, but there’s some emerging leaders stepping up in the big games. Boak and Wines led through the midfield, Aliir stood tall in defence and in probably their best individual games of the year young leaders Xavier Duursma and Darcy Byrne-Jones were outstanding. Duursma’s 24 touches went at 92% disposal efficiency, DBJ’s 21 at 81%. Cool in the heat of a big battle. Both were good against the Dogs last week and backed it up against the Cats. That’s what leaders do.

Boon’s best – Boak, Aliir, Fantasia, Wines, Duursma, Byrne-Jones, Jonas, staying until the end.
PAFC. Forever.

Busy day planned tomorrow.

Whatever do you mean? Sometimes I head out just before the end if we're well up to get the first train down the Outer Harbor line.

Or the Prison bars for that matter as it is basically the same amount of black on the front and the backs are identical.

if they're playing Melbourne it's the grey one
