Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[tribey]

Whateley heaping disdain on us as usual dear god is Hinkley a relative?

Made even worse by his squinting, purse-lipped, ‘don’t mind me, I’m just a neutral observer’, presence throughout prior ruthless bloodletting at North, Carlton, St Kilda and Essendon, and the drawn out consternation and departures of long-term coaches at Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn and GWS.

The unique entitlement of this guy sticking his beak in when it comes to Hinkley and Port Adelaide though.

It beggars belief.

Would be like Bruce McAvaney randomly cracking skulls and p¡ssing in letterboxes over the drama at Richmond 20 years ago.

Actually thought Caro saw thru whats playing out as opposed to Corns who naievly try to suggest tredders had flipped his views.

I think Cornes sees through it, too.

It was just a pathetically inept attempt to smear Tredrea in the eyes of supporters.

He must have been pissed that his disingenuous argument was cut off at its knees.

 

[sobrave]

LoJust boo. Don’t be embarrassed or wait for someone else to start it. Boo like nobody’s watching and things will happen.

Boo
Like nobody's watching
Jeer
Like no one can hear
Curse
Like there's no tomorrow

Live, Laugh, Sack Hinkley

 

[elbarton]

Good at least that Caro called out Ken’s ridiculous sideline antics

 

[chachi11]

I'm going to boo that s**tstain until my larynx explodes

 

[sobrave]

Apart from the saviour Ken line I didn’t find much to disagree with from Caro there.

BY THE WAY why are we not making more of how the crying interview opened!?
“How are you feeling?”
“Pretty hard”

In fairness what bloke wouldn’t went faced with the statuesque beauty that is Sarah Jones.

There's no way donuts has managed more than half-mast in the past decade, except maybe when he chucks another hound in the annihilator

This is what having a micro-dick does to a person.

Sad.

Caro did alright in that clip tbh the only baffling bit was calling him a brilliant coach.

Well she thinks she is a brillant journalist, so the bar is set very low.

 

[snozulu]

Whateley has a Ken Hinkley love doll. It would be a better coach than the real Ken Hinkley.

and i think Ken has a Whateley Voodoo doll.

 

[rignanv]

I'll be booing every time he is on the screen, especially if we are losing. I'll also be sitting down during ntua. I hope many others are too so the cameras can see

 

[JimmyBC]

Kane just continues to exhibit why we need to rid the club of the Cornes family forever.

 

[GoPorts]

Jordan Lewis said he wishes he was coached by Hinkley. Go sign up for Bell Park next season, you might get lucky.

All those premiership reunions get in the way of shopping trips for thick rimmed glasses and tweed sports coats

 

[PortPortPort]

The footy media is attacking Port supporters, we have to triple down on the Boos and the Sack Hinkley signs. They attack us we keep attacking their love child.

Was just running the script. It's not his fault he didn't get asked the right question.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

I'll be there on Saturday.

I won't boo you Ken, but if you called time and walk away, I'd applaud you for your service.

I think it's time Ken.

Gossip Girl giving her take on Wazza and Hinkley.

So Caro is alive to the notion that Ken Hinkley is an emotional person and that this emotional rollercoaster is "unsustainable" and that it's not what the players need.

Stay with me here, Caro, because there's just one short hop between Ken's recent public displays of emotion and his strengths and weaknesses as a coach going back many years now. Hinkley has always been good at connecting with his players, bringing them along for the journey and coaxing often extraordinary performances from them. And just as consistently, the problem is that this has never been sustainable across an entire season or when the pressure is dialed up. For a decade now, Port under Ken Hinkley have used individual talent and emotionally-charged performances to compensate for the lack of an effective system and structure, and that approach simply has not delivered the ultimate success or indeed come close.

Kane Cornes on Hinkley is obviously a compromised and contentious figure. But I did find it interesting just how he has begun to back off on his support for Hinkley in recent times. Following the Brisbane game, he said that Hinkley had always got the best out of the playing group that he's had, but now he (Cornes) is seeing signs that that is no longer the case, i.e. that the players are not playing for him. When your strength as a coach is connecting with and motivating your players, and that's no longer happening, the situation is dire enough that even Cornes must acknowledge it. And the most obvious inference to draw from that observation, whatever else one might say about Hinkley as a coach, is that he's been in the role too long, such that the players have heard everything he has to say enough times that they're no longer willing or able to respond to it.

The next question should have been would Clarko do that?

Then would you have swapped him for Clarko?

Also, Kane was trying (impotently) to suggest that Tredrea had betrayed those that voted him in because "nothing's changed".

LMAO.

Even Caro wasn't buying that attempt to split Tredrea from the fanbase and said that Tredders was disingenuous in his claims that the club was united (actually, fair).

Keep supporting Tredrea, keep booing Ken.

It's pretty funny really. Whenever I listen to 5AA (and I did this week for the post game calls) I'd say most Port callers either start or finish their call thanking Tredders for sticking at it and representing the members.

Cornes is just as much as a con artist as Ken.

In 2021, Kane said that a Grand Final appearance was a non-negotiable before a contract renewal.

Kane is just waiting for an opportunity to renew his pro-Ken agenda. In the meantime, he is looking to negate any and all criticism of the bogan (i.e. going after Tredea).

Kane even attempted to minimise how untenable a crying coach is. That was too much for Caro.

The footy media is attacking Port supporters, we have to triple down on the Boos and the Sack Hinkley signs. They attack us we keep attacking their love child.

I actually think the opposition, feeds their agenda against the fans.

Ultra groups overseas get criticised a lot, often merited, however no way they would tolerate this from the media.

It retaliation it would be a massive walk out and only thing left behind is a rolled out banner on the lines of "this is the sound of a club with no members"

I actually can't decide who's a bigger weasel between Kane and Gerrard. The way this pinhead gets all huffy

Comments like Kane's show just how divorced he is from the Port fanbase.

He just thinks "who else are you going to get?" and "Kenny has a great record" is good enough to swat away the concerns of general supporters.

And he still believes that all the rabid fans just want Josh Carr.

All of his arguments are 12 months out of date.

At least.

You are mistaking these for sincerely held beliefs and/or good faith arguments. He takes whichever line will enflame, provoke, outrage the most.

The irony is that the behaviour being displayed by the Hinkley protection racket is that it is the kind of thing that first had us singing NTUA
