Primus never played in a flag Thry, he was injured for the latter part of his career. He certainly didn't lay any foundations for Hinkley either the team were an embarrassment under him and going backwards at a rate of knots.

Apologies, he was captain at the time, so given he was part of the leadership group of a premiership team I didnt fact check.
Still it proves that he was part of a team, and the leadership group of a team, that had what it takes.
Now whether or not he didnt or did lay the foundation for Hinkley is up for debate, but I feel its folly to give Hinkley the plaudits, for a side that Primus had worked with for two years prior to him taking over.
Particularly Chad Wingard.

Are we going to credit Mick's first 2 flags to Todd and his first two GFs at Collingwood to Shaw?
Both those were pretty soon after taking over.

When I say the plaudits, I say all the plaudits.
IMHO, a player will get bits and pieces from every coach they work under across the journey and usually the bloke they work with the most will have the most input in what they are like as a player.
It can be argued that many of them gain more through junior footy than they will at senior level with the only thing really changing them there being proffesional athlete status.
Pagan and Ratten are as responsible for the apathy that many of our players show today (if they were coached by them) as Malthouse.

Haha mate seriously you speak some absolute boloney sometimes. Give Primus credit for what Hinkley has done? Your cred mate not mine.

We pay Mick to fix it, not add to it.

Has he done either, or is he just treading water!
