Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[Palpatine_Power]

I'm done with this club completely if this happens.

Could this be anymore Ken.

The guy averaged 3 touches a game before he was dropped and took someone out.

****ing hell make him prove himself!?

100% happening. Chadbro has already wheeled out the 'there are no houses left in Alberton because they've all be trained down' schtick this week.

 

[philreich]

He's said this for years. Anything new?
He seems to think we should be satisfied with 2 final wins in 11 years

When we eventually move on from Hinkley, I'd love to see Port have an extraordinary first year under the new coach, to prove to the Three Stooges (Cornes, Whateley and Wilson) among others that we should have got rid of him sooner. Then again, the media will more than likely credit Ken for doing all the groundwork.

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

So the bet becomes null and void if Ken sacked?

Otherwise, you seriously want to bet on us not winning more than 1 game in the run home?

Correct bet becomes null and void if Ken gets sacked.

 

[philreich]

Somebody needs to raise this with the media. Do you think any of the people who booed, the people that bought season tickets, people who bought memberships or match day tickets
.. people who bought Port Adelaide Merch and spend hard earned dollars during a cost of living crisis, don't want to see the Port Adelaide Football Club succeed? They have more skin in the game than anyone else commenting on the matter bar those currently at the club. So **** off with your judgement and telling how they shouldn't do this or that. That performance in isolation, on that day, just about justifies the booing on its own, let alone all the rest. These media w***ers who get paid to watch every game and earn a living hanging on every word a coach or player utters are completely divorced from the reality of everyday supporters, it's a joke.

Seriously good teams don't have a 127 point differential (79 point loss v 48 point win) within 2 weeks of each other. Our best is good, but our worst is beyond bad - nobody can take us seriously until the gap closes considerably.

Correct - sack Hinkley

 

[Jojay]

When Simmo arrived they’d recently taken the wooden spoon, and had only just come out of a drug culture that had afflicted numerous past players.

How quickly they forget.

Yet we're constantly reminded to remember 2012.

Is anyone else feeling defeated/given up?

After the debacle against Brisbane, it seemed like there was finally some momentum. There was noise in the media, the crowd literally booed him at the game. It looked like surely, finally, something had to give. There was hope. It looked like this interminable nightmare was finally coming to an end.

And then.. a couple of wins against some also rans and two weeks of the fan base being assaulted in the media and by the club itself. It looks like it's back to square one. The club will be happy to tick off on "making finals" as an acceptable outcome for the year, which we'll probably do as there are so many ordinary teams. They'll sweep it all under the rug and roll over again to next year. We get in the top 4 at any stage and there will be a push to lock in king Kenny.

I just don't care as much anymore. The club no longer resembles anything I remember from the 90s and 2000s. There's nothing to support. We have some good young players, sure. But the club doesn't care about supporters. There's not even a token effort. They don't want anyone who holds them to account. Personalities like Koch, Richardson, and Davies are extremely abrasive. Why should I support these muppets?

Wasting a few hours of a weekend watching us go nowhere has lost its appeal. There's no reason to watch the rest of the season and zero reason to get invested in the next with donuts and co in charge.

I'm confident that Josh Carr will be coach come round 1 next year. I'm also confident that it's his intention to reset the club culture to be more in line with the pre-Hinkley Port Adelaide. Watch this space.

I warned you not to get excited. The Brisbane game changed nothing.

Why couldn’t Sydney trip over their own dicks in that game we narrowly lost up there in 2014, like they did in the Untenable Bowl last year?

Why did we blow the Western Bulldogs off the park on Saturday, in what was a 50/50 game at best, but let them blow us off the park in a Prelim when they’d just flown in under armed guard via Christmas Island?

And we’re universally derided as ungrateful pieces of sh¡ts for wanting this emotionally-unstable potato gone? Good lord.

Welcome to my 2021. You’ll find it liberating.

 

[Coobk001]

Why does AI think all Port supporters are middle-aged white men?

Haha I put that in the command because I'm middle aged

 

[Coobk001]

Remember in 2014 when we ran that decibel meter on the crowd because we were undoubtedly the loudest, most raucous crowd in the league?

If you did that now we'd probably come 3rd last, only ahead of the expansion sides. The crowds are just insanely flat. It takes either umpiring or a particularly special moment in a big game for us to raise above a golf clap. There are barely any chants. The celebration is always muted. Koch did this to us.

100%. We're absolutely as silent as the old Crows crowds we used to shit can.

 

[Coobk001]

they are obviously predicting us to only win 2 games out of 7.

Which is probably about right. So yep If we lose this week then 2 would be generous.

 

[longdonkey]

Simpson sacked hope its contagious

 

[John the Butcher]

Grand Final winning coach Simpson gone and I'm...

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

AFL media sharpening the axe and holding Simpson's head on the block for the crimes of winning one flag in 10 years and having one of the worst lists in years at 16th.

Who else are they going to get?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

If you can sack a premiership coach, you can sack Hinkley

Honestly Im just waiting on AFLW to start. Completely out of ****s to give on the mens side.

Barely watched any football in ages. Got a brief bit of excitement at the Brisbane game, but as usual we have reverted back to accepting mediocrity as soon as we could.

 

[gbear]

Simpson gone whilst stinkley lives on. Says so much!

 

[Grave Danger]

"Kenny" has now been PAFC coach for longer than John Howard was Prime Minister - who will be our Kevin Rudd, our Maxine McKew..?

 

[CharlieKelly]

So Hinkley has outlasted Simpson, who has a premiership and two GF appearances

To add insult to injury, Jarrod Schofield could soon be West Coast’s caretaker, yet another 2004 Premiership player who could’ve replaced Hinkley by now

 

[Chewy316]

Crazy to think that Hinkley when he gets sacked is also entitled to long service leave.
