Opinion Sack Hinkley 8 - "Ask me in August"

[El_Scorcho]

His kicking needed to be totally redeveloped it's amazing he got through juniors with that diabolical action.

Weird that the club repeatedly rebuffed offers from internal and external experts to do exactly that then.

He got through juniors because he was an elite, packbusting contested mark. One that even when playing with us, changed the way defences had to play and created space for his teammates.

He had a poor set shot technique, absolutely, but the shanks off of his shin out on the full were purely mental. The club allowed a blue chip KPF prospect to totally mentally disintegrate over a long period of time despite it being very obvious what needed to happen for him to be successful, all while we were crying out for a key forward to develop. It's some of the worst player management in the history of the game.

You know what annoyed me? Guy had a tank so big it would’ve made a Soviet general swoon, and bar one or two notable examples (that Brisbane game where he had ~21 score involvements), we never really deployed him in a manner to exploit it.

Meanwhile, Josh Jenkins extracted a huge contract out of Adelaide running around like an oddly-effective headless chicken and scoring ‘tries’.

Collingwood 46 - 4 Gold Coast.

Ken would have to be a chance to be up there next year.

Almost like the coach had no idea how to get the best out of players and make his team greater than the sum of its parts??

Ah well. Charlie Dixon would’ve been the matchwinner against the Eagles had he not been gassed from running 30kms up and down the ground every time he had a set shot.

Pretty sure they're talking about the empty Krispy Kreme box sitting on the bench.

Don't worry... I also wish I was the great wgt

Losing when the siren went, pathetic. Sack Hinkley

Sack him so we don't have to see his mug on the telly

 

[Prison bar Pete]

I thought it was rather off him smiling away while Huston was lining up for goal

 

[PA88]

so in merging Ken's comment tonight and Davies comment a fee weeks ago about Ken coaching from the bench, it can be deduced that it was "ultimately Ken's decision" to get "kicked out of the coaches box".

 

[El_Scorcho]

The commentators, when they even remembered we were playing, kept talking about Ken looking relaxed on the bench. Not hard to look relaxed when you don't have any work to do

Especially when he said in the presser that he didn't think Dan would make it.

If you were getting 18k after tax in your account this coming Thursday regardless of results you’d smile too.

Such a give away its laughable. I think they know, it's now become amusing for them to hype him up.
