Opinion Sack Hinkley 5 - Lower The Blinds

[Steve Dore]

I had never read “tout de suite” written like that before!

I’ll adopt it.

Aussie diggers fighting in France during WWI are responsible for bringing into the Aussie lexicon.

Kiss of death

 

[Waspy79]

I stand on the sidelines, my passion for the club will return when the appropriate changes are made. Sooner rather than later, but I have financially checked out end 2017 and mentally not long after. I miss being passionate about the club instead of taking the piss out of it.

Sack Hinkley

 

[PA88]

I wont give up hope until there is a formal statement from the club.

I won't have hope until there is a formal statement from the club (officially declaring Hinkley is no longer the Port coach).

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I think it was a very straight bat by Koch.

A good sign

 

[dirty2]

True, except that I'M the working class boy from Largs Bay.

Portly for president!

“The program is good. Haven’t seen a deterioration in results”

…oh come on ahaha

 

[Crocodile Dumbdee]

You wanted me to be a Mountain. I could only be a River.

I’ll adopt it.

For all intensive purposes you're right

 

[Del165198]

l say don't get rid of Hinkley he is the best men for this team there is no other men as good as him


Why don't they get rid of communist Chinese republic supporter in Koch instead might be better Off

[Papa G]

Rucci, openly stating that he thought Hinkley would be gone "if" he didn't make the finals. As the mouth piece of the club that would have been vetted by his employer. We ain't making the finals so that is a pretty good indication where the club's thinking is at. Until it happens though, with that fukwit Koch in charge, you just can't be sure.

 

[RustyCage]

Why has “making the finals” become the benchmark now? What happens when we can’t make the finals? Does avoiding the bottom 4 become the benchmark for the remainder of the season?

[elsler]

its a pretty low bar if there going with making finals, its GF or Fkoff as far as im concerned how many chances do you want to give this bloke ffs

 

[TeeKray]

The bar was never going to be anything other than finals, despite what people here were saying pre season.

Luckily, we won't even clear the low bar we set for ourselves.

 

[Alberton Proud]

If it happens it won't be coined as a sacking it'll be a mutual 'parting of ways' with a farewell game & a golden goblet giftbox.

A gilded can of Coke Zero

Rucci also said (after last week's win over Sydney) Hinkley is coaching the best he's ever coached in his tenure. Too bad he didn't pull out a 'top of his game' coaching performance in last year's prelim.

Koch goes missing when there's any pressure.

There's absolutely empty space where there should be a spine.

He can't get past his ego, it consumes him

A 2023 Alastair Clarkson Destination Betting Market

Alastair Clarkson will be coaching again in 2023. That’s a certainty. However the chaotic start to the 2022 season means the landscape keeps shifting in regards to what opportunities could become available to a the 4-time premiership winning coach.

www.statsinsider.com.au

Port Adelaide $4​

This would have been a 50-1 proposition at the start of the year, yet Port’s jaw-dropping, winless start to 2022 means the spotlight is now firmly on Ken Hinkley who’s largely excellent tenure at Alberton looks to have run its course.

Crucially Port Adelaide could opt to part ways with Ken at a perfect time considering this list is absolutely in win-now mode and would make perfect sense for a coach like Clarkson. What’s desperately needed at Port is a significant tactical pivot, the likes of which Hinkley either doesn’t seem capable of implementing, or which his players aren’t listening to. And there are few more tactically astute coaches than Clarkson who'd immediately get the Power back in premiership contention, and owing to the club introducing 9 top-30 picks over the last five drafts, he'd likely be able to keep them there too.
