Coach Kenny Hinkley - should he stay or should he go (or will he be here until the end of time)?

He finishes his 12 year without even making a grand final. Would any other club tolerate this (apart from Gold Coast)
He has made how many semis and prelims?

From another sport, Andy Reid was head coach at Philadelphia Eagles and he made the NFC championship game 5 times, winning only 1 of them and losing that super bowl.

Then he went to Kansas City and has won 3 super bowls i think, mainly because of Patrick Mahomes. The point is the players have a bigger say than coaching deep in finals. Port has no players who can will their team over the line.

Probably time for a change, but to be fair their list is fairly dog shizen.

Key position players of Georgiades, Dixon, Ratoguela, BZK and Sweet as a ruckman is borderline worst in the league.

You take out Dixon and Ratagolea (which should have been done already), find a key defender and it's nowhere near as bad.
 
Rozee is weak as piss. Shithouse captain.
Sack him first.
So the way Siss retaliated to old fart Ken protecting his players/Ginni ….. even noticed the Wiz who has been around for two minutes eyeing old fart Ken telling him to Fck off …… while Ports captain giggling like a little child walking off like a crab!

Not sure why you mention georgiades, first year back from a knee reco has been very good. Sweet has been very solid as well.

Dixon is shit and will be gone. BZT is either solid or absolute shit with no in between. Rat is just a spud.
 
He did ok considering Rozee, Butters and JHF were average during the finals. There’s some real plodders in that team now like Dixon, Boak, Wines, though these guys have been absolute warriors. Maybe a freshen up of the list and not the coach.

Even tonight I thought Sweet looked extremely promising. Georgiades will benefit greatly from having a few less useless tall forwards getting in his way.
 
I cannot conceive how apparently professional football people cannot see what is so obvious to absolutely everyone else.

Boak may be shot but at least he's trying. Dixon is a walking corpse.
Boak's been alright this year, he just a shocking night with ball in hand.

It's a case by case basis. A number of "corpses" have been decent contributors for Geelong this year.

Freshen up the list? He's had 12 years and turned over half the team since their last pre lim loss.

His coaching tenure is pushing "a million monkeys at a million typewriters" and seeing if he can win a flag
 
In another thread I asked if all the coach blaming teams in the top 8 could stop their whining and realise that it’s not all on the one bloke. Well I was wrong and it’s time for the Emperor to go.
 
Apparently he's "passionate" and a "people motivator".

Who the heck is dumb enough to be motivated by this halfwit?

I've heard him talk. I'm not a snob so I'll forgive his lack of any kind of grammatical skills..i don't care about that at all... but that's not the point. His ideas and conversation are seriously moronic.

I just can't believe somebody so thick has survived this long.

It's bizarre.
He kind of remind me of this guy

Lol tell us about it.

What's great is that you get to be gaslit by every sector of football media that he's some kind of idiot savant

Ah, you have spoken to an AFL footballer before? You do see the likes of Richo, Jono Brown, Watson & Selwood get media gigs as some of the more articulate & switched on ex footy players?

AFL players are as a rule dumb as dog shit - and even if they have book smarts off field, they then likely have a sheltered life that doesn’t give them a heap of perspective.

It’s the whole thing about someone like Tarryn Thomas being considered a good guy, or Dane Swan being super popular…it’s about who is a funny extroverted confident male in an entirely male setting, not actually who treats people well outside of that setting. It’s not until you make a mistake against your male teammates (Carey, Beams) that all of a sudden you get seen as a flog, even though you’ve bullied & harassed others for years.
The AFL bubble creates perspectives of people that just would not apply in any other setting. Thomas is a campaigner, Kenny is dumb.

Ken is not inspiring to anyone not in that bubble but I have no doubt because he’s a fan boy of the players that they absolutely love him and that’s why everytime there’s “a reason” (bad loss, media scrutiny etc) they get up and bring the “manic pressure”. When there isn’t, they don’t show up.
