This is a fair thread, I dont agree with all of it but this is a forum for our opinions.

Ken and crew do need to review the whole program. If I made the same errors and never fixed them in my job, I'd feel heat from above.

How is this different?

Shut threads everyone will migrate to reddit

No its just a straw clutching rubbish thread, we've had a bad season and the first thing people want to point the finger at is the head coach. Its much more complex than just coaching by Ken. we've had 6 or 7 of our best 22 out in patches this season. A shit draw. Players out of form. Some with fitness issues. Players down on confidence. Our skills are down and bad decision making by the players. The coach can only do so much. Making thread where its all Hinkley's fault and nothing else bloody ridiculous.
 
If I was a Port Mod I'd close this thread down. No serious discussion. Passion and emotion and desperate desire for your club to do well but not exactly any constructive discussion.
 
In all seriousness, the way some of your supporters are turning on Hinkley is crazy. Its okay for us Crows supporters to take the piss out of him, but seriously he has been a godsend for your club. Finals in his first two years, prelim last year, and still a chance to make them again this year. Thats a pretty good record and he deserves more credit than he is getting.

Ding ding ding.

It's a total team effort.

The coaches are not doing their best.
The players are not doing their best.

Need to start by everyone getting on the same page rather than pointing fingers.

there's a place reserved for you at the bay now jog off.
 
Still has plenty of credits in the bank. Poor thread.
 
Yes I will continue to believe in Ken … (I'm pretending he has nothing to do with the match day selections committee)

exactly pointing the finger at just Hinkley is just stupid to whole team needs to lift their game.
 
I am willing to give him time mainly because of the job he did in 2013 moreso than 2014, and we just resigned him for 4 more years (what a boneheaded move that was by the board).

BUT

How many times can we keep losing in this fashion before there is a change to the way we play and to the trend of selecting players out of form or just not up to it?

Since round 13 last year we are 11 wins and 14 losses. We are just not a good football side, and I dont think ken realises this and expects us to produce performances akin to the first 12 rounds of last year, and cant see that its not going to happen.
 
What's with the Camry flogs?

Phyllis Theodore Walsh is in his honeymoon period on the back of a soft draw.. get over yourselves you'll be plummeting as one before you know it
 
Gimme a fu@(ing break. Blame the midfield, our on field leaders, realkze we are relying on a 20 year old in Ollie Wines to do ALL of our midfield grunt work and a 21 year old mid size forward to kick or contribute all of our scores. Our defence is holding up well, our midfield has been battered all year, and the majority of our forward line is next to fu@(ing useless bar Chad. Don't gimme this I've lost faith in Ken Hinkley crap when most of our golden boy midfielders and leaders are letting us down badly atm and have done all year. Kenny can make the greatest moves in history but if our leaders fail under pressure as they have done all year that's on them and something they have to fix.

they've been waiting since 2012 to troll us let them have their fun and when their season goes sour they can continue talking about the great Victorian conspiracy and cling on to but but but we have more members. Its ok it will blow up in their faces soon enough. Slone and Danger singed up yet?
 
Hinkley is a victim of his own high standards to some extent. The last two years have seen outstanding improvement and we have exceeded all expectations. Reality says that most clubs go through down seasons and down patches within seasons. The most important thing is the response. Sando did well in 2012, dropped off in 2013 and didn't recover in 2014 - that's why he got boned. I think the players are still playing for Ken and believing in his message, that's a positive sign. But that's base level really and the results need to start following or the pressure will just continue to mount.
 
For whatever reason, he's lost the plot this season.

Selections, match ups, game style, structures are more than questionable this year, they're an absolute joke.

Sometimes you have to live by the old KISS rule, keep it simple stupid, not continue to try and out fox your opponent by being stubborn in your ways.

What's up with bringing in players from the Magpies with no form?

Have the balls to admit you've f**ked things up and change your ways, cause this season has been pathetic in nearly every way.

Buy a mirror and have a long, hard look into it pal.

Amen..
 
It's a team effort, coaching has been average, players average, supporters average, media average.

I posted this after our Fremantle loss.

We are a long way off, obvious lack of fitness at this time of the year. Poor skills under pressure, lots to learn which is good but we can only afford to drop 3 or max 4 more for the rest of the year. 6 losses is game over.
 
It's not Hinkleys fault that the average joe doesn't understand structure.

We build these shitty makeshift forward lines because we don't have anyone who can lead/mark/goal. When we have players that can give us a marking option instead of standing stagnant or looking for a loose ball over the back to run on to we can start to challenge for a flag.

Chocco, Rhode and co. stuffed our list for 10 years. Wait till Harvey, Palmer, Howard start getting games and then see what happens.

Surely someone like Harvey has to be close. You can't just cross your arms and say we will play one short. Harvey has been kicking 2 goals a game whilst still spending time in ruck. At least he adds about 3 inches on Schulz and gives someone for the small forwards to stand under.
 
I haven't lost faith, but I am very worried about the direction Ken is taking us in currently.

Our one and only gameplan is heavily reliable on clean ball use, which we often do not have in 2015.

We struggle to break through opposition zones and all the opposition coaches know it.

At this stage, the rest of the season looks like it will be just as inconsistent and if we're lucky we'll stumble 13-9 into an away elimination final.
