Opinion Sack Hinkley 9 - I Am Become Donuts, Destroyer Of Ports

Every year since 2015...

Correct me if I'm wrong but if CD has given his glowing recommendation to the board re Ken, then ultimately it's still the boards decision to either re sign him or part ways. We keep losing I just fail to see how the board can put a 2-3 year contract in front of him.

I've emailed the club and I'm going to email them again today, it may not be worth anything but I'm going to try and I recommend other people do. "Why is our head coach laughing and joking with oppo players after our 4th loss? Why is our head coach conducting interviews during important games? Etc etc"

I'm clinging to that last bastion of hope that the mounting losses are forcing a reconsider, and I want to give them the feedback they deserve.

Laughing and joking after our season slips through our fingers, this bloke is actual taking the p155, like actually, and nobody calls him out on it. Imagine if Bevo did it? Cornes would be shouting from the rooftops!

You all thought he was a superhero at 14-2

No, we thought Carr was a superhero at 14-2.

 

[PowerBaz]

He’s already sorted out his contract - the 2 year thing will correct I’d say, he probably just hasn’t signed anything yet?

Ken and Kochie are all lying to us.

Macca was right with the original name of this thread. I am so very tired. I'd love something to look forward to next year.

Where did you send the email? I’m going to do the same. That clown has to go.

Why is our head coach conducting interviews during important games?

Koch would see nothing wrong with this. It's on point with his idea of marketing Port as a challenger brand.

I don't want to be a brand. I want to be a football club. We deserve better.

Although we've seen peculiar celebrations on the sideline from Kenny, he's never appeared to me to be on the spectrum. He has often appeared to me to be a deadset yobbo.

Simple but perfect.

I think the in-game interviews with coaches has been purloined from the NBA.
It's not a great idea for a coach under the pump, or for that matter any coach.

Interesting discussion re Ken being autistic. For my bobs worth I think its painfully obvious that he is ******ed.

 

[DaBarz]

I’d love to see a montage of your Scotts, Longmires, Clarksons and Goodwins repeatedly being shown giggling, grinning and laughing in the immediate aftermath of losses.

I’m as emotionally withdrawn from caring about results as I’ve ever been, but I still felt that despairing pit in my stomach when Close(?) put them 3 clear with 3 minutes left, and then the usual post-loss flatness as the reality of the situation sank in.

And there’s Kenny strutting across the field laughing, joking and generally behaving like he could not possibly give less of a f#%k that his eleventh season at the club is almost certainly sunk.

At least pretend you’re shattered until you get behind closed doors, surely.

It just feels like one big p¡sstake at this point.

I’d go back even further.

Pagan would have blown an artery - Malthouse would have had a face like thunder and Blight would have thrown around the word “pathetic “ at every opportunity.
This knob smiles, jokes, dances on the sidelines embarrassingly does the 5-0 sign / a level of cringe off the chart.

I don’t want to win another game - then I want to watch what Koch comes up with when they announce he’s staying.

That's the right email for Richo.

 

[JimmyBC]

He's not interesting enough to be autistic

 

[ClintEastwood]

Last time I will butt in but I feel like I need to clarify what I think haha. I know he has NFI, he isn’t a coaches a-hole. I know he’s a shocker of a coach, I just happen to think he’s a shocker of a coach who is on the spectrum. Cheers

It's not butting in mate, you've spoken eloquently and politely, you appear quite genuine, and think Hinley should go. That kind of posting is always welcome.

that's a good name for a movie about Ken. Yobbo on the Spectrum.

 

[Powertron]

Tell me what other industry keeps backing in its highest paid employee after a record breaking run of failure.
Koch is a supposed business guru. Seriously mate you've got a coach who at best has had 11 years of stagnant growth and has zero plan of how they would do things differently why would you keep him on

Small business guru - Mom & pop shops and the like.

He sticks to his lane in this regard

The email address just for us true Port Supporters.
Whitenoise@kenhinkleyfc.com.au

 

[PA88]

Fair enough. I’m just speculating based on my experiences and time spent with others on the spectrum and the fact that a helluva lot of people Hinkley’s age who are awkward as hell, come across as inarticulate, do weird things, are adverse to change and come across as selfish are people on the spectrum who were never picked up as it wasn’t looked for back then so much.

Anyway, I agree with you all, what I reckon about this is immaterial, he’s just a s**t coach either way.

Ah, I'm starting to see this possibility that Kenny is on the spectrum ... coz that’s why he's been given more coaching time.

 

[Us against the rest]

that's a good name for a movie about Ken. Yobbo on the Spectrum.

Salesman to multiple millionaire for bogans.
This would be my movie title. Although it sounds like a better book title.

Well whether you like it or not we are a brand. Don’t overthink though.

 

[Papa G]

Don't send the emails to Richardson. At best CC him in on them. He is completely useless. Send them to board members.

As I gave up on feeling for this club years ago while Koch and donuts lead, I watch with laughter. What a predicament. 13 in a row now 4 zip with the annual capitulation well underway. Players with injuries and poor form, donuts reaches into his football war chest and finds the inevitable emptiness. The stoopid f### sharing a giggle on the ground knowing he holds Koch micro d### by the cusp of his palm. They will panic and offer him 3 years.

The flood of supporters, naively content with the club's vacuous rhetoric, is disheartening beyond measure. The essence of the club has eroded. It's been refurbished into a franchise. Simply pay the fee, cheer dutifully, and ask no questions. But you won't find me among their ranks. Just f### off
