Opinion Sack Hinkley 10 - UnTENable

[Capital Power]

I think we should sack hinkley

But who ya gonna get?

 

[Peninsula Boy]

We need Brad Pitt to come along and save us

Yeah, and he can build a pavilion while he is at it.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

But who ya gonna get?

What is so bad about Cameron Sutcliffe?

 

[JimmyBC]

Merry Xmas to Hinkley FC & affiliates.. what a gift you've been.

 

[Us against the rest]

Imagine what Choco & Primus would think reading how a complete failure again in finals is okay and the coach isn't even worried.


Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley is prepared for the criticism that will come his way after the Power was unceremoniously dumped out of the finals in straight sets.

Port’s 23-point loss to GWS at Adelaide Oval was the fifth sudden-death final Hinkley’s side has lost since 2014, with the Power failing to make a grand final in 11 seasons under the coach who signed a new two-year contract in August.

Hinkley was asked if he was feeling rising tension at the lack of finals success in the aftermath of the upset loss.

“If I was, do you reckon I’d still be around?” he replied.

“That’s the simple answer … ‘No, I’m not’.

“I’ve got a great support crew that help me coach this football club.


“I’m not worried about what that scrutiny sounds and looks like, but I get that it will come … I can’t avoid that.

“I will handle it – it’s OK.”

Is this the first time the ******* has said anything since the semi final?

God I hate the prick

Good for you, Ken. As long as you're all hunky-dory, then life is good, hey?

What the actual F*CK! Who the hell does this guy think he is? You are a piece of poo Ken Hinkley.

Did this idiot just say if he felt tension he wouldn't be around?

Why disappear after the 2021 prelim then? Why disappear after the 2023 straight sets exit?

We just have to make his tenure tense and he's gone?

Pay me $800k but if I get marginally uncomfortable with the accountability of my position I'm gone. This guy is full of shit.

 

[tribey]

But who ya gonna get?

“Many other teams haven’t made the finals in decades and would kill to have Ken as their coach!”

 

[tribey]

Good for you, Ken. As long as you're all hunky-dory, then life is good, hey?

This is what gets me. There is absolutely zero concern or a sense of shame for the fanbase or the playing careers he’s wasting — the gutless Board is continuing to pay me a fortune to keep showing up, so eh.

 

[Grave Danger]

Days since Essendon won a final is probably the ultimate AFL meme, and has recently passed the 7,000 mark. Days since Hinkley wasn't sacked should be another. It's probably unfair to count that from when he was first employed, or even the number of days that he hasn't made a Grand Final, but it must be around 4,000 by now.

Days since first AFL Final coached (7th Sept 2013) = 3737 days

He's a total flog.

 

[longdonkey]

He's a total flog.

Just when you think he's said it all he comes up with this piece of horseshit. Resign Hinkley you usurper.

 

[JimmyBC]

He said all that in the presser after the GWS final why are people thinking it was yesterday? anyway it's the words of a man facing zero internal pressure, it creates a monster who thinks he runs the joint and can just request how long his extensions are.

 

[DaTBird187]

That sounds like an invitation to turn the screws.

Game on Hinkface.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Even the absolute best and most successful coaches should be constantly in fear that if they shit the bed, their job is in trouble.

Not here at Mediocrity FC though apparently. Community is real proud though.

Days since daddy stinker won a flag (with d grade ammos at Bell park):

7300 or so

At the end of the 2009 season, Hinkley was announced as an assistant coach at the new Gold Coast Football Club under senior coach Guy McKenna.[6][7] Hinkley served as assistant coach for the Suns in their inaugural season in the 2011 season and the 2012 season.[8] during this period, Hinkley also interviewed for the Richmond, Geelong and St Kilda senior coach positions but was unsuccessful.

An assistant at one of the worst teams of all time, rejected for 3 senior positions, and we get stuck with the campaigner for 13 years and counting.

The selection-assisted home elimination final disaster of 2017 would be a reasonable start date. September 9.

Must be nice to fail your way into an $800k job where you are so protected from any expectation or pressure that you can publicly fail on repeated occasions and not feel any pressure to improve.
The guy is a born loser. Imagine listening to this in the change rooms before a must win game

 

[Willsy10]

What is so bad about Cameron Sutcliffe?

Yeah let’s compare a minor development role opened up after most of us thought we’d already finalised our coaching panel to that of the senior coach.

The stupid are always arrogant

Harsh on poo.

At least they disappear when you flush.
