Opinion Sack Hinkley 5 - Lower The Blinds

[Alberton Proud]

Media when we win “how good is Ken!”
Media when we lose “it’s the players”

BF when we lose “sack Ken”
BF when we win “its the players”

BF speaks the truth

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Kane on Sen this morning asked people to call in about whether ken should keep his job if we miss the 8. Kane was non-committal but said he loves how he's coaching this year. I was rushing this morning so didn't get to call in. I'll be calling tomorrow morning. Hope others do the same.

What a ridiculous question.

Should be sacked without a flag. Making the 8 is irrelevant after a decade.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Lol if we sacked dumb dumb I reckon we'd storm home and make finals...

And then we sign on care taker coach Nathan Bassett to a 5 year deal.

Because you absolutely know that Bassett will be the caretaker.

 

[PowerBaz]

If somehow Clarko walks in the door I will be ringing Kane up as he scoffed at that suggestion that he should come to Port when he left the Hawks - (only time I have ever rung the radio), he thought that idea was from another planet.

Nope, they appoint from within again after Primus? oh boy

It’s clear as day that we’d win more games if our back 6 was made up of Georgiades, Marshall, Dixon, Lord, Hayes and Visentini.

Not sure why they haven’t tried this yet.

Exactly, Premiership was the pass mark this season. He is nowhere near it. Sack him.

But wait, Choco sucked dog dicks according to half this board.

Williams is a Port Adelaide premiership coach, no one can take that away from him, I will always respect him for that.

You'll get no argument from me. I'd have him back even now, in a heartbeat.

 

[Power Girl]

That is a firm no from me. Williams' had his time and he became a liability like Ken. It is just a fact that the message becomes tired and coaches have a shelf life.

 

[dirty2]

I do like the thought of Williams as the port magpies coach/development.. But people on here have a better idea then me if that would be a good thing or not.

 

[backtozero]

Imagine thinking of this as not a wasted season.

If we look back at Ken's tenure, and are generous in describing any year where we don't make a GF as being a "success," let's break it down.

2013, 2014, 2020, 2021 = not a waste
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022 = inexcusable waste of time, talent and resources.

Why the **** should he be applauded for absolutely wasting 6 out of 10 years, when 2 of the best came at the very beginning?

Kane, STFU. With every passing moment it becomes clearer that your only motivation in life is personal accolades and the success of the club has never been a motivating factor in anything you say or do.

A shelf-life? You know that in Europe and the US some coaches have the ultimate success even into their 60s and 70s.

 

[portly]

Just entered adelaide oval northern end
went too 4 to 5 random groups Sitting on white tables and chairs.
said was doing a hinkley survey
would should hinkley be there/coach next year?
v small sample etc
10 yes should be there
2 No
nil angst
try your own honest survey and report back!7

Do you not understand that those sitting on white chairs are unlikely to be indicative of our demographic.

 

[simba_]

our club is currently chock-a-block full of ****ing losers, bringing back an actual winner is debatable to some of you? come now

Williams as a development coach under a new head coach would be fantastic, a real players man.

We are not debating weather or not Choco should return as coach, I posted a pick of Hinkley and CD fist pumping over a win probably against an average side and one of Williams and Tredrea holding a the premiership cup aloft, winners and losers.

But wait, Choco sucked dog dicks according to half this board.

This a 'classic Simpsons' / 'New Simpsons' argument. Choco was good in his day. A touch prone to the crazy move (Nick Stevens forward in the 2003 QF springs to mind), but not too much. He went too far though as the years progressed. He also needed strong oversight to keep him from going too crazy. Bucky was able to do that. Koch would be walked over and we'd get the worst of Choco, as the weaker admin's post Bucky allowed.

Now back as a development coach for younger players, under a strong coach like Clarkson who wouldn't let him think he's top dog - sign me up.

(Nick Stevens forward in the 2003 QF springs to mind)

18-2 in the previous 20 games going into that one, with the most recent defeat being by a point at Kardinia Park two months prior.

I have no idea what a classic/new Simpsons argument is, and CBF googling it. ANY proven (premiership) coach in the AFL would be the best we could hope for in a new coach. Anyone else, and you have no idea if they could take a team all the way.

That being said, Choco would not be my first choice - that'd be Clarkson.

That's what I have then, a fear of the empty space between Hinkley's ears.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Has there even been anyone in the history of human endeavour that has tried and failed for as long as Ken Hinkley (player and coach) and actually ended up succeeding at something?
