No, just ask Eddie how to do a coaching succession plan, real stroke of genius!

Wingard!

Got to admire the Powers turn around on and off field.

[dragit]

Very exciting to watch... They were on the ropes and have just come back and smashed a hardened finals outfit.

No more pies - thank you!

We can hope to be like this in a few years...

I was on Wingard after the first couple of games- said we should throw any amount of money at him. Wines is outstanding too. Colqhoun came as a rookie for free and now playing finals. 3 men at every contest still works wonders.

Ummm J Mac in Las Vegas

Wines and wingard are amazing. Great coaching by n Buckley to let wingard roam free when it counted.

yep.. dump a successful coach for a dud. good old Collingwood for ever

Buckley has skin issues, if you've noticed, it's not easy coaching the McGuires, it might be stress, it might be whisky, it might be eddies kissing after a win, eddies rodgering after a loss..

[happy feet]

Goodbye feral filth. Happy days.

Wished we had of selected Ken Hinkley over Watters you could see the passion the Port players had for him after the game - similar to Lyon. Watters has never engendered anything like that in his time with the Saints...

Yes they have done it well.

I can't help but feel that their Pres has set the tone. Very energetic and creates a great buzz, without being too over the top. Much better than our former sad-sack.

Hinkley was a great choice as coach. Everyone knew he was a great coach in waiting. But no-one would give him the gig.

[SainterK]

Chad Wingard is an awesome footy name.

they do have a better list which might have something to do with the way they are playing and the results they are getting.

[SainterK]

Has the collingwood chant ever worked?

[saintbrat]

Poor poor Buckley what's he gunna do
poor poor buckley things look bad to you...

[BigMart]

Just turned it over from the election.... And got a nice surprise....

[desertsaint]

Surely now Port have won the right to the magpie name and the black and white.

[wolfpup]

Port are interesting.

Port bottomed out after getting smashed by geelong in the 07 GF, thats 5 years in the wilderness.

Their youngsters are certainly starting to shine, Wingard is awesome but would love for us to get a ready made player like Wines, guy is a freak.
Anyway, I hope we are 2 years into our 'wilderness' period, not at the start.

It's their fitness which has really given them the edge to compete with the best for 4 quarters.

You get that right and you can close the gap rapidly.

Colqhoun looks crap. Didn't see him hit a target

[saintspremiers]

Well I was lucky enough to be at the game. The feral filth were going off. Even a bit of noise in the members!

They were as hopeless as us. Loved the turnover footy in a final.

Just wish I had a Port scarf.

Wines and Windgard are freaks size and skill wise for kids to see live. Amazing to watch.

Apparently their conditioning guy worked for Liverpool in the EPL ! How much $ thrown around in that comp, suggests that he would be ELITE.
Fit players get to more contests; second efforts are better, skills better, etc.
We should target former EPL fitness guys if we can find any, ASAP.

[Stillwaiting]

Great result for Port, I thought they would be beaten easily . They have turned the club around, but it hasn't been overnight. Started when they were forced to pay kids 2 or 3 years ago. They have a good coach who has put some polish on them

He won heaps in close and was running as a third man often. Provided plenty but he's a steal more the point. Him and Scharenberg were running half backs in last years SA team and he was supposed to go top 20. They got him as a rookie. Wines has turned out to be the pick of the top 10 last year. They did what Sydney did where they had a couple of years astute recruiting to fast track them. Boak and Hartlett took a while but are now big strong mids.
