Ken Hinkley trending on Twitter/X

About to crack the first bottle of champers and Mr gbear is my Uber home as us girls can drink

One of the best things I ever did was marry a non-drinker (he just doesn’t like the taste ).

 

[Saint12]

We have been here before but it does feel a lot closer to happening.

If he lasts the week, the saints game might be the final nail..

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news..... The Saints have not come close to beating PA since Jesus was a small boy.

This media pressure feels louder than ever

Only saving grace for him is that stupid boost our players get when they try to keep him his job

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Once again all these other teams are better than us in Kens eyes.

When will it be our turn Ken?

I know, When you go Ken.

 

[Buget]

Why do people keep suggesting Buckley? I don't want him anywhere near the club

A coach who was a kick away from a grand final win. Who was hamstrung by the clubs list management.

Buckley also knows how to win at Port Adelaide.

I don’t think the players like him nearly as much as we are lead to believe

 

[Sharaz Jek]

Port have finished Top 4 in three of the last four matches.

He is having a laugh talking about "better teams".

 

[1954]

Has to be sacked at 9am Monday morning, where Koch walks too. There's no option anymore.

Agreed, kern should get the lemonade and sars on Monday followed by koch falling on his own sword, but I suspect that unfortunately neither scenario will occur.

 

[PA88]

Hinkley in the presser stated "we got another reminder today what the better teams can do". You dickhead, Brisbane have had a below par season up to this point.

Not just how to win but how important it is to win.

 

[Marmozet]

I’m getting some real 2010 vibes about this season.

 

[philreich]

Ken didn't enjoy being booed but he's been around a long time.

That's part of the reason why people are booing - he's been here too long.

So we should swap our coach who couldn't get it done for another that couldn't get it done?

What's that quote about the definition of insanity?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news..... The Saints have not come close to beating PA since Jesus was a small boy.

Just a few weeks ago we just got over the line against the Saints by 10 points at home. I'd say that was pretty close, and that was before the giant crater we fell down in the last few games.

The creed is not just some fancy words on a piece of paper to be forgotten. It's a call to arms. Fos crafted it to establish our purpose - strength, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to success, aka premierships. It calls for every player and staff member to be "active, aggressive, and devoted" to the club’s cause. It emphasises the importance of personal sacrifice and the relentless pursuit of premierships.

"We're not one of the best teams in the competition, everyone agrees," is a slap in the face to every supporter who bleeds for this club. This isn't about admitting reality - it's about a defeatist attitude that goes against everything the creed stands for. Instead of rallying the team and inspiring belief, Hinkley is effectively throwing in the towel. How can we expect the players to fight for every inch on the field when their leader is already conceding defeat?

By attributing failures to fear or shifting blame onto players, Hinkley abdicates responsibility for the team’s performance. What are we to do?

It's akin to his "finals are scary" comment. When a leader admits to being scared, it implicitly condones fear within the ranks. To say that "finals is scary" is to admit to a psychological barrier that hinders the complete exertion of effort demanded by the creed. How often do you see our players really give it 100%? I mean really giving their all?

There is no accountability. **** Hinkley and **** his enablers. How can we put our faith in the brains trust that has kept this fraud in charge for so long to choose someone better? I'm beyond disillusioned with this "club".

Remember when Kevin Foley was trying to take over to turn us into Southern Power Football Team? Remember when KT reaffirmed commitment to the creed, our history and pursuit of success? How naive I was to think we'd retain our identity. And yet, here we are.

SPFC, est 1996, just like Koch always wanted. What a joke.

I said a few weeks ago that I thought he was losing the players. Just a few signs of body language while on the bench and bits of player interviews.

The one thing in your favour is that Dixon isn't playing as he usually saves his couple of good games a year against us. Any way im crossing my fingers that you guys get your wish and the Saints get up this time lol

 

[PowerBaz]

I am headed to a 50th birthday shortly so
I won’t be adding to the post count until later tomorrow

Goodwood?

 

[philreich]

So according to Ken we are a shit team and everyone is better than us! What confidence does that give the players? Enough is enough

Well that's nothing but a cop out. Just 14 short months ago, Hinkley himself said that he had the best combination he'd ever had in his time at Alberton, and this year's recruits were supposed to fill in the gaps. To me, that speaks volumes of Hinkley's deficiencies as a coach, rather than the playing list.

 

[PowerLil]

That's part of the reason why people are booing - he's been here too long.

I've been booing him since 2016 because he's a sh*t coach and a stupid campaigner.

 

[PJ Power]

I’m getting some real 2010 vibes about this season.

If Carr replaces Hinkley, next year will be 2011-12 all over again.

 

[PAFC27]

Hinkley job the leading story on channel 7 news

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Lead story on 7 news. End of Hinkley?

 

[b0ydman Jr]

I'm going watch the sunday footy show for the first time in forever just to see how Kane defends him now
