Opinion Sack Hinkley 10 - UnTENable

[Sewer de Lance]

Why the **** would you hand over the keys to Carr from a guy that he’s directly been under for most of his apprenticeship and who’s failed when it counts?
And why would you give the power to make that choice to those who’ve presided and continually endorsed the same guy who has failed?
Absolutely mind boggling if it happens.

That’s what piss weak, spineless organisations do. Instead of taking a risk & targeting the pin, they’d rather take the safe option & lay it up 40 yards off the green. We’re now boring & dull off-field as well as onfield.

 

[Trouto]

It’s the standard defensive line for Kens media conga line when they’re looking to deflect from his 12 year reign of poo

Think Kane Cornes or Gerald Wheatley deeply conflicted individuals who are totally unable to objectively review Ken at all

You lost me at "Kane Cornes"

What a plonker that guy is.

I heard Scott from the Bombers talk about the fans today and how they want to play for them - then actually articulated it.

Ken basically is a closed shop. Does he ever say anything like that - for the supporters? He sees the white noise as a distraction, he sees Showdowns as a distraction ('why would you want to get caught up in that local stuff'....).

Anything that holds them all to accountability he is afraid of.

Idk why y'all expect current players to not praise Ken when asked about him

Every Port Adelaide football department hire be like “we conducted a thorough recruitment process but it turns out the perfect candidate was already here”

"It turns out the real [candidates for elite professional sporting organisation roles] were the friends we made along the way." - Port Adelaide

I get the feeling that whilst Kornes is full of sh1t, he'd be aware of the hypocrisy, and the intent is to keep Chad in a job, whilst Whateley more than likely believes Hinkley is unfairly treated, whilst being oblivious to the fact he's not objective (given his affection to Kern who played for his club acouple of decades ago).

 

[elbarton]

Which is why when he inevitably gets his stage-managed farewell wave to the crowd at AO, I wont see it because I'll be halfway over the footbridge by that time.

I'd encourage all to do the same.

If he doesn't like it, he can cry into the millions of dollars he's fleeced from the club over the journey.

I’m calling it now - he (and the club) won’t have the guts to do a farewell of this nature. His tenure will end with a morning press conference and he’ll be back in Vic before sunset.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

The Port Adelaide I used to Know played for it's supporters first, club second.

Boak needs to call it a day with Ken, he's been a good player with good preparation standards but not a great player.

Chocco had his faults but he never forgot the fans. Hinkley never talks about the fans because he couldn't care less plus he knows he will never be able to live up to past Port coaches.

What do you mean by club? The club should always come first. The club thats existed since 1870 I mean, not the current clown administration.

Who needs premierships when you've got connectedness and learnings

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

I recently watched “Dynasty”, which was a brilliant documentary chronicling the rise & success of the New England Patriots.

There was a short scene showing the Patriots Head Coach, Bill Belichick on a tread mill preparing for an upcoming game. He literally had a mountain full of pages & a handful of highlighters before him while running out a few miles in the process.

Compare that to deck chair Ken, the greatest self serving charlatan to ever step inside the 4 walls of Alberton.

Great series. And while watching I thought Bill Belichick could really be compared to Fos as he brought long term success, winning when they shouldn't have and such. Then he did a Clarkson and liked skirting the rules. But at least he did everything in his power to win.

Actually makes me sick thinking how far the clubs standards and internal expectations have slipped from when Fos first wrote the Creed for the club to follow.

Absolute vomit now.

More gaslighting from the Geelong Gang.

Suits me.

Bit like the AFL.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Ken said last year that it was the best list he'd had and then had all the holes plugged for him in the offseason. He's either a bad judge of list or a bad coach. Or both!

 

[El_Scorcho]

We're 100% having a farewell game for Hinkley. 100%. It's happening. We're not getting the unceremonious sacking he (and we) so richly deserve. He'll "graciously" stand down at some stage, probably with a golden handshake

 

[JimmyBC]

I feel for Ken because I don't think their window is right now.. so how many windows do you let one cnut have?

 

[RossFC]

More gaslighting from the Geelong Gang.

So according to Menzel, replacing our 18-21 YO development players with 25+ YO list cloggers in the SANFL side would mean we'd have the cattle at AFL level. Also half the team he's talking about are ammo players on our SANFL list.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Why is this something you pity a coach for? Especially one that has been there for more than a decade. It's his list.

 

[Ljc_86]

Hopefully they have a testimonial dinner for him like they did tredders except he sits there and we throw tomatoes at him

In the very near future we'll be coached by the unpaid social media intern.

 

[Watto71]

If and it's a big IF daddy doughnuts does a farewell at Adelaide oval I will attend my first home game since we lost R.Ebert.
With me will be a sign saying Finally pity it didn't happen years ago

 

[Duck Farmer]

Loving the fact this gormless twat is still kicking around Alberton and wallowing in abject failure. Long may he reign.
