Opinion Sack Hinkley 10 - UnTENable

"The club thought that this year was going to be the year" (we win the flag).

2015? 2018? 2021? 2024?

"(name withheld) been tearing out his hair wondering why the season's been up and down".
- by former player with a role at the club

This club is desperately in need of an independent external review.

By definition, that really is insanity.

 

[jdeezy]

2015? 2018? 2021? 2024?

Then surely 2027 is the year. Extend Ken til then. It'll work this time I promise

2024

At the end of 2017 KT discussed that the club decided it needed to get back into the draft and get youth into the team (which is why Koch credits the great bloke Hinkley for 'accepting' the club's direction) and in that discussion KT highlighted the year 2024 being the year where the fruits of this youth will be seen. I instantly thought Hinkley could possibly be here to 2024 ... and here we are.

There's the biggest mistake. When they decided that was the direction, Hinkley should've been moved on, particularly given his holding the club to ransom. Such a poor decision had and has us circling the drain.

The Keith Thomas pivot is true, but you’re 12 months early in the timeline:

• Port finishes 5th with 15 wins at the end of the minor round in 2017;

• Loses the home Elimination Final to Luke Shuey and 8th-placed West Coast;

• Amidst Donnagate, Koch & co extend Hinkley out to the end of 2020 (already contracted for 2018 and tacked on 2 more);

• The club then goes out and gets Tom Rockliff, Steven Motlop, Jack Watts, Trent McKenzie, Jack Trengove and Lindsay Thomas;

• Holds the ‘INSIDE PORT ADELAIDE — LIVE’ Members Convention on 10 February 2018, which is heavily attended by BigFooty and is met with almost universal and lavish praise from many who now wouldn’t trust the club to successfully feed chips to seagulls;

• In season 2018 Port misses the eight from 11-4, vindicating those who felt the way we were playing/winning was a false economy;

• The club then pivots, trading out Wingard/Polec/Pittard to ultimately bring in Burton/Duursma/Rozee as well as Sam Mayes, Scott Lycett & Cam Sutcliffe(!);

• 2019 is a Jekyll & Hyde sh¡tshow, underpinned and excused away by a mythological narrative that Port’s lineup is now teeming with children and won’t be in a position to seriously challenge for 2-3 years, despite having a list profile similar to the premiers and a stack of 28-30+ year olds in the lineup.

• Keith Thomas continues to run with a narrative of “Kenny sacrificed his career! [for the good of the club/list]”, and the media and large swathes of our fans swallow this rubbish whole.

 

[dirty2]

Kenny™ is a campaigner hasn't sacrificed anything for us.

 

[GremioPower]

The pandemic screw us over big time.

 

[dirty2]

SH-11 will be up and about soon.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Uninspiring, again with the ultimate con man fraud in charge.

 

[klem22]

Another wasted year Koch you fraudster.

 

[ibd77]

I can no longer be bothered, David Koch has successfully damaged this club irreparably due to his ****ing small dick syndrome

True

 

[Us against the rest]

We need to go down by a huge margin so questions will get asked finally.

 

[Watto71]

Can we start a go fund me Page to get the biggest load of horse manure delivered to PAFC Head quaters

 

[yepits2020]

Hinkley will end up four years too long.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Time to bring out the Sack Hinkley Stickers and lots of them.

 

[philreich]

If this thread doesn't reach part 11 by the final siren, we're not fair dinkum.

 

[PowerBaz]

Meek insipid coach and guess what the team look like.

 

[PowerBaz]

Time to bring out the Sack Hinkley Stickers and lots of them.

How about we build our own 8x4 sign and stick it down Port Rd

 

[Greasyrhys]

Surely our players are playing like they want him gone?

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Alright

Anyone wanna chip in?

Thinking of getting a billboard somewhere prominent for a day saying "Sack Hinkley" with Hinkley stats too
