Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[Peninsula Boy]

Listen Kane, no one booed on the weekend against the Dogs, fair point but there is a distinct possibility that the fans are saving them up for a losing final where we underperform against a lesser team, maybe at home.

We still have a very good list and maybe we have woken up. Who know? Maybe we'll play some good footy for the rest of the year even though we have a tough road ahead but we just don't have the heart of a champion and Hinkley has never helped in this regard and truth be told, he has the heart of a craven.

If anything, simpson getting the arse just adds another indefensible stat to the hinkley reign.

No one will care though since absolutely nothing seems to stick to slimy old ken.

I just saw Paramatta have unveiled their new coach, after sacking the last one in May.

The last one made the NRL GF in 2022.

sTaBiLiTy!

We already lost Wingard after he became disillusioned with footy under Hinkley. Losing another young superstar would be very frustrating. Worst case scenario is Butters leaving for picks and then Hinkley apologists arguing that the list needs development.

And of course, one of the chips we received for him was Xavier Duursma.

It’s the circle of Ken.

So Good Korn pots Ports supporters but bad Korn pots Tex Walker - on your way thanks.

At this point I wouldn't even mind Taylor snotting Kane. I think I dislike him less these days. Never thought I'd ever feel that way.

Hinkley is really going to outlast actual premiership coaches in Simpson and Beveridge

My biggest takeaway from this if this is true is that senior Port players might be a bit more responsible for these 12 years of failure than many think.

 

[Alberton Proud]

That's Premiership Coach Adam Simpson you're talking about

Meanwhile down at Hinkleyville .....

It's very well known that our senior players are content with just treating footy like a 7.5 hour job.

 

[Pappagallo]

The natural end of a premiership coach. Huh.

Meanwhile at Port we must be dealing with the supernatural.

The culture from top to bottom is insipid.

Ken has faced concerted scrutiny twice in his 12 years as Port coach.

On the first occasion the response was a 13-game win streak amidst Ken blubbering.

On the second occasion the response was gritting out a tricky away win amidst Ken blubbering, and then looking like the Globetrotters against LeBrontempelli & Co.

That the wider response to all this is “suck a chubby, Warren!”, “good onya, Kenny!” and “the Hinkley Haters must feel pretty ssschewpid right now!”, speaks volumes as to how deeply unserious this club is, and how little the industry thinks and expects of it.

 

[Us against the rest]

Port 73 - Brisbane 152 Adelaide Oval.
Crows 86 - Brisbane 97 Gabba.

Strange that the media thinks that Nick's is under pressure, remember they are coming from a very low base, wooden Spooner's not to long ago.

A good indicator of where we are at and they will pass us next year, make no mistake and then the club will start to implode.

16 contact hours a week. What a gig.

Their list is literally what the media says ours is.

Roughly 3 star players atop a pile of sh¡t.

You can’t burn literally 12 years of first round picks trading for and drafting potatoes and expect to be around the mark.

They’ll suck for some time yet but somehow tapdance on our grave twice a year.

Unfortunately you may be correct with the `they will pass us next year' bit, which many on here would have thought was just about impossible only a few seasons ago.

They absolutely have been, the writing has been on the wall since the 2015 pre-season, and the writing was turned in to a monument for all to see in 2016 when Boak led to whinge fest to Koch.

The players should be fair game for this mess and their complicit nature in it.

16 contact hours a week. What a gig.

Sadly, it's aligned with John McCarthy.

It shouldn't be the reason for a lack of finals success though.

Collingwood and Brisbane are also about 'people before the club'.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Why bother with these losers?

If they don't care about winning, I may as well go and watch a Michael Bay film.

 

[longdonkey]

No matter what happened on the weekend we were going to be the campaigners.

If we boo when we win decisively we are insane Hinkley haters.
If we don't boo we are fickle and the worst supporters in the league.

Just ignore it and move on, this is Hinkley, the opportunity to boo will be close.

At least they didn't sell the farm for a few average players. They have a game plan that can take it to the top sides.

What do you mean aligned with McCarthy?

Just to clarify, you don't have to do this, you could also watch literally anything else.

 

[philreich]

He'll still be in the chair next year

He'd want to hope we play well at every home game from now on - any hint of a repeat of the Brisbane game, and he'll cop plenty more boos.

What a completely useless stat. Not sure how sampling how each SA team has gone against Brisbane is a good indicator of where each team is at. And at the end of the day they still lost.

Nicks is under pressure because they've only won 5 games for the year after being talked up as a potential top 4 side in the pre season.

No doubt we haven't performed as well as what we should've but the frothing over the crows this year of all years is actually laughable.

 

[Steve Dore]

Is Todd still dating Hinkley's daughter?

Hinkley has two daughters, both are married. Which one is Todd dating?

No one is frothing over the Crows, just pointing they have a game plan that can take it to the good sides, oh and beating the average sides like Port.
They may have only won 5 games but were unlucky in a few very close ones like we were lucky to win a few very close ones, we could so easily be down the ladder with them, their percentage is 2% less than ours and they are 15th.

So only pointing out that when you have a coach that has an actual clue about a game style, to beat teams above them they have at least hope of improvement.
We have had a decade to get a winnable style in finals and have failed, yes and even failed against the Crows.

The one who isn’t happily married.
