Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[RonSon]

Hinkley: All phases of the game were poor.

He shows absolutely no understanding of the game or reasons why we lost. Poor old Rucc had to give him the answers in his questions. He says "learnings" every other week but isn't able to identify nor convey any, it's all meaningless catchphrases and soundbites.

I always thought Brad Arthur was the luckiest sporting coach in Australia when he coached Parramatta in the NRL for 11 years and just 1 GF appearance in his tenure before he was sacked 6 weeks ago.

I forget Ken actually started a year earlier then Brad Arthur did at Parra and hasn't made a GF.

Lol, love the calling out of Kane.

"If you can't cope with it, you shouldn't be in my job. I can cope with it."

This is the bloke that hides away after we get bottled out of the season each year, right? The one that called and abused the media outlets that dated question him once? That guy can "cope with it"?

**** me he's the slimiest of used car salesman

 

[Coobk001]

Remember this coach celebrating the Geelong last half capitulation like it was an epic performance.

That was when I knew we were in big trouble. Others didn't see it at the time, but it is obvious now. It was a sign of the same continuing themes we've seen this year of getting absolutely destroyed in patches.

He won't get sacked yet. But I'll enjoy us imploding this year.

Even Bruce Abernathy on channel 7 said the players love him but what's the point if they don’t respect him. It's turned. But our inept president and board will dig in and just hope a new pandemic arrives

Surely a p*sstake. Tell me Abernethy didn't mention the players loving Hinkley whilst reporting Brisbane belting us at home to the tune of 79 points?

IT'S NOT ONE PERFORMANCE CHRIS, IT'S A DECADE OF PISS.

To think you guys could have snagged Hardwick must boil your blood.
Thanks for not sacking him a couple of years ago

**** you Kane Cornes. I hate you more than anything.

Horrendously useless grifter.

We are in the end game now

 

[tribey]

Why is it that we are the one set of supporters people think it’s fine to patronise when we use any opportunity to criticise the coach?

It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?

Apparently we’re the only supporter base on the planet who should unblinkingly chow down truckloads of sh¡t, year after year, decade after decade, chained to high-priced seats until the bitter end, forbidden from any form of protest that might hurt Poor Kenny™’s feelings.

Aber's message was that the players love him but what use is that if they don't respect him and don't fear him. This is not a direct quote but what he said was more a statement of fact.

Travis Boak cops his share of criticism on this board, but i'd argue that in 2013 and 2014 he was an absolute jet and an incredible leader of a young side, fast becoming a club great. Not the most gifted player to ever grace a field, but an incredible work ethic, and a drive to squeeze everything he could from his body. Then he just plateaued, like SO many other players under Hinkley who didn't possess the incredible natural talents of a Robbie Gray. Players like Boak would have thrived under a good coach, but how many players' careers just stalled under Hinkley when their natural ability couldn't take them much further? Ken Hinkley couldn't harness the sun if he lived in a glasshouse on Mercury.

Twitter has been going off with the sack Hinkley stuff. Don't know if it just my feed but I can't remember it being this full on

 

[Lefti93]

The most positive thing about today is the fact that it's clear that the players have stopped playing for him.

 

[BStaff17]

Lol, love the calling out of Kane.

Kane's blind spot is ken because he nursed him to 300 games.

Am I wrong as a neutral.

Kane is ruthless on nearly everyone else in the industry bar Hinkley.
