Game Day Ken Hinkley FC goes home vs Geelong Cats

[Interstater]

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

When I first read this poem I never pictured it as applying to the football forum of the club I loved.
But yeh it does.

You have hollowed us out Kenneth, and you and your boofy mate have left a void that you hope with be filled by a youth with deeper pockets and lower expectations. Good luck with that.

Feels like the sort of game that we will win with a kick after the siren.
Guess it depends on how much Sportsbet are carrying on both sides.

Whatever. I'll watch, but not sure why.

Regardless, Captain Smirk will be okay

The pure definition of 'having a bob each way'.

Opened the thread and was reminded that I have to watch Tom Jonas play football today. Day ruined.

Preparing to be comprehensively beaten tonight, both sides are down a key forward and a key defender so we’re somewhat equally handicapped and they just seemingly always have our measure. We’ll make it 4 losses in a row, fall to 4th and probably finish there since the worst case this week is to be 2 games clear in 4th en route to a date with the Pies at the MCG where we will be routinely humiliated. That will in turn give us a home semi at the “PoRtReSs” where we’ll meet a side that probably fell on the unlucky side of some close games and it’ll be a season where winnings 13 in a row will amount to nothing.

So yeah, needless to say this is a crucial one to win. Hoping Dante backs up on a decent performance last week, same for Frank The Tank against his old side. Would be nice to see the forward line without Dixon and hopefully Ollie Lord can kick a lot straighter than he did against Carlton to make up for Jez and Todd forgetting how to kick. Aliir will be a huge huge loss but at least there’s no Hawkins so it leaves only Cameron to be covered.

Cats by 19, we’ll never really feel like we’re in it though.

I hope we win and turn around our recent poor form but I will be watching to see what tactics are used during the game or if old habits are back in our gameplan.

I will also be watching if we fall behind, who starts to drop their head first, who stops running.

How many teams over the years have been second on the ladder and know their season is over before finals even begun? Cats by 60

Who stops running? That will be a complete team effort (apart from Butters and Rozee) lead by the leaders Jonas Wines and DBJ.

I don’t think I am even going to bother watching tonight. No ping wrecking a reasonably good weekend. Geelong by 60 pts.

 

[ploppy]

We were looking so good a few weeks ago I was starting to believe again. But we have lost our way all of a sudden as we go to kadina park… this could go really bad.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Expect butters and Rozee to light it up tonight will be looking to rebound and tbh we have moved past the cats should take this by 23/27 points lord to go postal

Well, you dont HAVE to.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Over time my feelings after a game have become less intense. A win doesn’t feel as good and a loss doesn’t feel as bad.

This well researched process is known as Hinkleyfication.

 

[afl2004]

Hope we lose by 10 plus goals , I want everyone who runs this club to have horrific lives

The weird thing is the list has a lot to be worth the price of admission. Lord and Dante are doing their apprenticeships and could become the future of the club.

The problem as has so often been the case is they either smash it, and credit for their performances goes to Ken, who gets an extension, and their careers get burned as a result, or they fail, and their careers fizzle out.

Its just such a depressing cycle and it feels like there is no way to break it.

 

[Manhattan Bronx]

Haven't cared about the last few rounds. Know we're going to Port it up.

Geelong by 38.

 

[dirty2]

G long by 39...
Kane cornes to talk shit.
Sack hinkley thread to make it to 11
Dirty2 to drink a bottle or 2 of red gold.

Agree with all of this ^ but believe Hot Toddy and Finlayson appear to have forgotten how to football

Bunch of miserable dicks around here.
