There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Not sure I quite understand the hate for Hinkley, at least among non Port supporters. Similar to Chris Fagan for mine - I find their clubs and/or playing groups and/or supporters to be vile but they don't seem like such bad guys to me. Not in the same category as Chris Scott.
They didn't bother me too much until I befriended a group of Adelaideans a few years back here in Melbourne. I'd never been over there for a Port game but I visited for round 12 2018 and round 4 2019.
I used to laugh at Crows fans who refused to go to Showdowns if Port were the home team and call them soft - now I understand. We were basically the prize scalp for the rest of the league back then but wow, just wow. Some of their supporters make Collingwood fans look civilised.
Me and the group of 8 I was with for the 2014 Elimination were in genuine fear walking out of AO. The stuff that was being said and how it was being said had me thinking we would be like Snake Bliskin trying to get out of Adelaide!!
Haha you get where I'm coming from. And they'd flogged us that day too. Incredibly obnoxious winners who wanna crack skulls even when they win - then you see them turn when they lose and they're somehow even worse. Feral on a scary level.
Yeah, I think it stems from people on here claiming Hinkley was a "supercoach" relative to Dimma before we won all those flags.
Seems like a competent coach and a reasonable guy to me
I would have selected After INXS revokes the rights to use their song as an anthem for Bogans and Before the Cash Cow shanks Kochie for a half full goon bag.
I used to help organise supporter bus trips to watch the North Melbourne Giants interstate.
I had a full prima orange juice thrown at the back of my head in Adelaide. We were spat on walking in/out of the arena.
I can't remember if it was Adelaide or Wollongong, but our bus had its windows smashed whilst we were watching the game. So much so that future trips, the coach captain would drop us if and then go park somewhere else and just sit in the bus.
Both cities.......special supporter groups.
This is the kind of Carry On that made me deliriously happy when the Doggies sat them on their arse then out after another home Prelim loss.
A loss that might well buckle them somewhat.
