Opinion Sack Hinkley 5 - Lower The Blinds

[Visenfest]

Probably.

I really want to see us get 17th. Need to everything possible to avoid the spoon.

No. If you're going to fail, fail properly and get pick 1.

To clarify on my post - Kane didn't say any of those things directly.

Its what I got from reading between the lines of what Kane said. He said that Ken has earned the right to coach his way out of his current predicament, and then a considered decision can be made at the end of the year.

To me, I see this as: Ken is gone at year's end, and the club thinks the best direction is to keep him til then. The rest is my theorising why that is.

The " he's earnt the right to coach the rest of the season" is such a load of shit. He won't be there next year. So you start preparing now. If he's not there next year and he knows it, what is to gain by keeping him there? He's the type that will throw a match on the list/club and walk away without looking back.

What's the deal with not wanting Monty? Surely that isn't true (I'm hopeful it's just Chad feeding bullshit out to Kane), why do we bother with assistants if we don't think they are good anyway?

For the record though, I think I've largely gone off Monty now. Too high a chance that Monty just ends up being head with Bassett and Cornes still there and the same bullshit going on with no new ideas. He's been too close to the muppets for too long.

We need a clean out.

he should be allowed to "coach his way out" is an incredible statement. he coached his way into this mess, he doesn't know how to get out!

I mean yeah even Kane Cornes clearly knows its complete bullshit. Its just the narrative he's been given to try and hopefully limit damage as we push on with Ken as head coach.

Its pretty obvious at this point that Kornes has absolutely zero journalistic integrity and will just spin things however he is instructed to.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I also want to be very clear that I'm not supporting this course of action in any way.

Merely trying to interpret what the club is doing.

For me even 1.5 years on I'm still too angry with the ridiculous 2020 extension to even consider what to do now. It's like someone grabbing a hot pan off the stove then complaining their hand is sore. Yes there are options to fix it but just don't ****ing touch the hot pan in the first place.

We sack him now and pay him the rest of the year out. Its the same difference. Everybody knows that once Kenny knows he's out he will no longer give a fu** and just spend his entire day reading the Greyhound form guide.

My theory is he's doing this now and daring us to sack him. We've been fooled all along. Hinkley is the real George Costanza.

Ken being asked why he hasn't picked a single tall forward then got the players to bomb it in long all game...

 

[Duck Farmer]

"instant success" = entire decade

Can't wait for the book to be written: Hunkley to Stinkly - The Decade of Derp.

 

[dirty2]

Just lower Ken's coaching coffin into the grave already... He's finished. Done. There's no coming back. Turn the life support off. Enough of this weekend at burnies crap in the coaches box.

 

[Del165198]

we've dropped 17 ladder positions and 57% in percentage between 2021 and this season

2 people yesterday made and stood by the “Ken can’t kick the goals” comment to me yesterday. Mind blowing

Yeah ... these people are odd. Once upon a time we had Darryl Poole that was an unreliable kick for goals but most often than not kicked the ones that mattered. We had Darren Smith that wasn't an all-star of the league but stood up in the moments that mattered. Winners found a way to win, and why? Well it wasn't from waving a magic wand, it was a mindset and culture, and clubs set the culture by anointing people in positions such as a coach that knows how to form a team and mould his players to produce the goods in important moments. These kind of people that fall back on comments like "the coach doesn't kick the goals for them" just don't/can't think deep enough. Hawthorn won three in a row, if Hinkley is placed in that identical situation, does he win three in a row with the Hawks? We'll never know but likely not.

For some reason, these people will protect to the hilt if our coach was Mr Bean and we were a continuous bumbling fumbling team, and believe that by some form of magic Mr Bean will win us a flag.

 

[wannabejack]

Still under going tests but doubt it can be blamed on Hinkley.

Having said that there's nothing to be lost by the club sacking Hinkley to see if it improves Ollie's health.

It'll improve my health.

'Instant success'

It's been ten years you total and utter campaigner

The universe is 13 billion years old, so in that context expecting a premiership a mere 10 years into Hinkley's reign would equal "instant success".

 

[PatientMental]

FWIW the championing for Hinkley from the Cornes' is pretty clearly just 'If Hinkley goes all coaches go which mean Chad loses his job'

 

[pastmyprimus]

Not surprising that Graham's written an article in support of Hinkley. He's trying to protect his boys. A new coach comes in and Chad could be looking for a new job and Kane loses two high level sources (Hinkley and Chad) within the club.

Edit PatientMental - you beat me to it

"He coached his way into this mess"

I think your giving ken a little to much credit... or using the term "coached" very loosely.

 

[PA88]

I was hoping Hinkley's win% would dive below 50% before he leaves just to shut that Koch up but that would require us to go on a run of 28 further losses without a win, and I just couldn't survive that.

 

[Interstater]

Young Mr Cornes is clearly kanepromised.

As Greta would say its just blah blah blah.

This could work....on the premise of a new coach.

FWIW the championing for Hinkley from the Cornes' is pretty clearly just 'If Hinkley goes all coaches ago which mean Chad loses his job'

promoting the waterboy-cum-liftingbro-cum-bbqoperator-bigcumz to an actual line coach doesn't look like a great move in hindsight
