This is possibly one of the dumbest reasons to keep on a dud coach.

“I think also people have to understand that in two week’s time, there are a whole bunch of players at the end of the year when they’re looking to see what other opportunities may be around at other clubs and a key part of those players’ due diligence is who the coach is going to be. - D Koch"
Even if this held any semblance of truth, if they sacked him mid-season they could have had a coach ready to announce the moment the season ended.

I just hope that Chris Scott does a Hardwick and pulls the pin on Geelong, because then I’ll be very interested to hear how highly Gerard Whateley rates Ken Hinkley when it’s Geelong needing a new coach.

It would be like Caroline Wilson and Richmond. Hinkley is not for Richmond but he's fine for the shit campaigners at Port.
 
Winning premierships hasn't been part of our identity for years. You've got to remember we're not in the SNAFL anymore.

Koch has publicly stated that despite never even making a Grand Final Hinkley is the most successful PAFC coach in the AFL era. Anyone that says otherwise is just a "hater".

Koch believes his coach's record speaks for itself.

"The facts of the matter are that on a games coached per grand final basis, Ken is the most unsuccessful coach Port Adelaide has had in the AFL era." he continued.

"He broke the world record for games coached at a single club without making a grand final ... and we went out in straight sets after making the top four."


Then I woke up.

Yeah I admit it - I'm a hater:
  • I hate the fact that 2 other teams have run onto the MCG on grand final day for each of the last 16 years
  • I hate the fact that the club's standards have fallen so far during the term of this administration, that falling short of a grand final apparently constitutes a successful season
In fact, there's not much about this club that I don't hate right now!!!
 
It would be like Caroline Wilson and Richmond. Hinkley is not for Richmond but he's fine for the s*t campaigners at Port.
He's also a great fit for Gold Coast

*Until there's an actual vacancy at Gold Coast and it could actually happen

I'm just popping my head in to say that i've finally cut myself loose of this rabble of a football club and life has been awesome. You should try it. Food tastes better, the air smells nicer, the sun on your face feels so much more amazing., So i guess in a way i'm saying, thankyou Ken Hinkley, David Koch et all for being such pathetic losers and giving me my life back.

It’s a bit like the suspension of disbelief amongst pro-wrestling fans — sure their bodies take a beating and the confected beefs keep everything bubbling along — but ultimately everyone who isn’t ten years old knows it’s really just a bunch of roided-up blokes in tights, undies and ludicrous costumes pretending to hate and hurt each other.

Similarly, Messrs Koch, Hinkley, their media minions and fanbase Uncle Toms are managing to erode what last vestiges of lingering relatability, nostalgia and hope we have for the club and footy in general.

We no longer dream of premierships or count down the days to a new season.

We instead pine for the departure of a dreadfully stale murderer’s row of tenured gaslighters who couldn’t deliver a flag in a league of one.

And we’re mocked, labelled and threatened with excommunication for it.

So unsurprisingly the suspension of disbelief expires, and it all comes into sharp focus.

Lo and behold, the joint is now just another soulless corporate ivory tower packed to the brim with smug white collar types padding their resumes;

Paying millions of dollars to a mediocre coach shamelessly adverse to criticism and accountability;

Who deploys a teamful of largely spoiled chodes, many young enough to be our children, that are paid handsome sums to keep fit and chase an inflated leather bag around for 9 months a year to varying degrees of success.

What a legacy!

My passion is gone. I'm finding that i even hate the crows less and less with each passing day. Instead of viewing them as the arch cross town enemy, with a clear mind i can now dispassionately view them for what they are - ie, a bunch of young guys with the same hopes and dreams, and taken from the same draft pool as every other young kid on every club list.

Yeah but one of them's a racist.

I found supporting the club more enjoyable once you remove yourself from the negativity of wanting Hinkley sacked, Koch Gone and crying about Prison bars. I just watch it for what it is. I'm still passionate about winning/losing but all that other stuff is a waste of time.
