More than enough Hinkleyball games to make a walk-in museum of gameday souvenirs and TV screens of match replays to recapture its full glory.
 
Not sure if they’ve been mentioned but

  • games against ‘contenders’ who are missing their best few players
  • statement or prime time games
  • playing injured and out of form players

And the pièce de résistance, the victory over a contender, against the odds, with a slightly different game plan, where it ‘clicks’, where you think maybe, just maybe, things are changing. Only to revert to form a week later and that being the last victory we have against top eight sides.


At least after a decade of losing games due to poor goal kicking, Ken has got the boys doing more work than they ever had before after identifying the issue in the off season…..

Honest Ken can honestly f$@k off.

Have certainly noticed a switch in the past month that our kickouts from a behind have returned to Hinkleyball classic.

First couple weeks we were using the 45 and making short sharp passes to move the ball forward with some purpose.

We’ve reverted back to flooding one side of the ground, all stand stationary at the corner of the square and simply going long to a pack. All this in the hope of either a contested mark (rarely happens) or we win a scrappy contest, quick kick down the wing where it either goes OOB and we reset, or the opposition wall cleans up the loose ball. Rinse and repeat.

Our kickouts have been trash for years. Had slight hope the first month that it appeared we had worked on that over the off season. Bit of pressure, lose here and there and bam, we’re straight back to this bull.

For the most part there's no dare or run from behind. Guys like butters or JHF try to create but there's no one going with them so they end up in trouble. It basically looks like everyone has lost faith in the game plan, which is not surprising. Most supporters lost faith years ago

It seems like every year Ken tolerates new game plan ideas from his assitants for 6 weeks before undermining them and reverting to form.
