Opinion Sack Hinkley 7 - "Turn it around or watch out"

[PowerBaz]

They’ll be more than willing to go back into debt to avoid the spectre of Tasmania.

Success is the only way they will.

I’ve said it for ages and been shot down for it here but what Sheedy said is exactly what the AFL wants, they don’t care whether Tasmania wants it.

The AFL (VFL) will look after their own before Tassy.

Sheedy wont be wrong.

 

[Us against the rest]

So Clarko making a call tomoz… it’s North, I mean what he’s waiting for, Essington to cut Rutten at breakfast?

Essington wont call Ken…

Doughnuts 2023, yippee yi ay…..

No body calls ken, Donna removed the sim card 10 years ago.

 

[PowerBaz]

Surely Clarko waits another year if Rutten doesnt get sacked

Whats next year? Eagles? Port? Crows?


Saints maybe?

Clarko —— North——VFL——Tasmania

This is all planning.

They should be drilled to know what to do in crucial situations. What if we're up by 10 with 5 mins to go for example, what if we're down by 10 at that same time.

There should be an exact plan - what to think, where to be, how to structure for each possible situation. Have that and the pressure goes because you know your exact role.

Instead the entire game our players are just thinking oh boy I better work hardery longery and pridery the communitery

Which surely comes back to the way the coach prepares the team. Yeah the players have some responsibility for their actions, but if the same failings keep happening time and again, the bloke in the hot seat shouldn't be immune from criticism.

 

[backtozero]

Clarko to North is a given, don’t see how he goes to Essington, just can’t see it.

Enjoy Marvel with 5k watching Clarko.

You don't see how?

Essendon: will you be our coach, we just sacked the last bloke. Here's heaps of cash

Clarko: yes.

 

[Us against the rest]

I cant see how a club with little footy department spend, spending it all on one coach is going to work
Regardless of how good a coach he is

I'm starting to think big Al is a little over rated. Remember Donuts was only a kick away from spoiling Claksons run of Grand Finals in 2014, he also had some good players at his disposal.

Hardwick is an interesting choice, he took a middle of the road team to to Grand Finals and they are still a good side even without Dusty.

 

[philreich]

Would open the door to Norf landing their big fish Kenny hinkley

Ken is the fish that John West (aka Port Adelaide) has rejected.

 

[PowerLil]

Anyone know what happened at the Board meeting? Arsene Wenger the only comment and why can't this piece of refuse walk or be sacked?

I can't remember the exact game, but never was this more evident this year than when we were up late and tried to ice the clock. I reckon we made it two kicks before we turned it over near our defensive 50. It was comical.

How many times do we hear how we train for that exact scenario and we bottle it every single time.

As soon as we get down so far there is little hope, the shackles come off and we mount an epic comeback. You can set your watch to it.

the comebacks are just a sure sign of bad coaching, it show the talent is there but the coach doesnt know how to organise them properly as a team to execute what needs to be done. The comebacks have largely been driven from players letting go the coaching doctrine and playing to their own strengths. Sack Ken

I honestly don't think we do, or at least if we are then the training is so bad its basically the same as not practicing it at all.

 

[Portragic]

Do you think we spoke to him at least?

Apparently several have including Silk

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

You'd think in a professional sports industry where you need to be competitive that you look to prove people wrong (and win their respect) not blacklist them and cry to your bosses that they're creating pressure.

Deleted - what was it?

Tweet was Essendon chairman addressing the players at 9.30, Rutten addressing the players at 11.30

He can’t really fail at North or Essendon.
Winning a final or two in the next 5 years would be seen as a an amazing success.

 

[FourthTimeAround]

Ollie making his pitch to take on a Port Adelaide coaching role.
Certainly ticks the first box...

Damo Barrett is reporting that Clarko has chosen North.

Daddy Donuts wins again. What a jag off

 

[PowerLil]

No wonder donuts is resolute about staying at Ports. Loser has nowhere to go.

Disagree.

Ken: My time is nearly up at Port, all I'm delivering is GF donuts for a decade.
Dodoro: Amateur. I've been delivering FINALS donuts for twice as long. Come with me, I'll show you how it's done.

 

[Windy Cindy]

all done now, we are stuck with the clown

Clarkson gets to pad the retirement fund. We get told "not even Alastair Clarkson could save Norf". They then get shipped off to Tasmania.

 

[Windy Cindy]

unless Essendon are interested in him!!!!
