Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[TazD]

I missed this, what's the story about the banner?

Willsy10 will give you the rundown.

 

[ElectricG]

I’m surprised so many stayed to the end of that crap,

Ridiculous that those that did and then booed in frustration are the ones in the firing line.

I felt like at the time leaving during the 3rd quarter was the best course of action because having a whole quarter and a bit of footy with empty seats everywhere was hopefully a good reminder of how much damage was being done on a day that was meant to be a celebration of the 2004 premiership

But if I stayed I probably would’ve joined in the booing

The crowd disappearing lets them off the hook. They should feel that we’re watching

 

[longdonkey]

I think people need to stay because they need to feel the hurt, that fuels the rage against those responsible for this shitshow. Norf freakin Melbourne have played a better standard of football than us in the past 2 games.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Graham Cornes has come to Ken Hinkley's defence, so that's the whole Cornes mafia. We know we're on the right track then.

Its pretty funny. Let it go gragra your son wont win anything as a coach.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Koch has been in the chair since 2012, Hinkley has been in since 2013. The main focal points have been China, prison bars, and keeping Hinkley around.

I'm now of the belief that our push into China was facilitated by the CCP so Xi Jinping could get some masterclasses from Koch and Hinkley on how to dupe the masses, manipulate the media, silence dissent, and stay in power for decades beyond your expiry date.

because north had the brains to start a rebuild rather than trying to sustain failure by trading in mediocre players. North will make a grand final before we do.

We don't need a rebuild, we need at least one new coach and some depth because Hinkley has screwed our drafting and we carry a handful of players every game.

 

[PA88]

I've never been a boo-ing person.
Never sought to lower myself to that level.
I still want Ken gone. Should have happened at the end of 2017, but here we are!
The club are embarrassing themselves and their supporters, and a new coach is needed sooner rather than later.
Among several other things that need to occur.
But yeah, boo-ing is for Neanderthals.
Shove that behaviour up your clacker sideways.

The coach and his enablers have been smug towards members at agms over genuine questions. They well and truly do not deserve our courtesy, so just boo the ****er.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Lol he clips Kenneth nicely in this one.

Sorry guys, this will be a longer one.

The 2024 Port Adelaide Memberships volume sits at 55,155 according to https://www.footyindustry.com/2024/03/29/afl-and-nrl-club-membership-updates-march-29th-2024/. That's down from 64,041 in 2023. I'll treat this as conservative in ports' favor, ignoring that some of these memberships may include interstate memberships, non attending club memberships, baby memberships, pet memberships etc etc. Basically, 100% of the 55,155 members have full memberships that could allow them into the game.

According to https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/p...g/news-story/a4474ec870af64e7e50cf18597cbc9e5 last nights attendance was 32,862. Of those, an estimated 14,862 left the game before the final siren, leaving an estimated 18,000 at the whistle. Again, being conservative in ports' favor, I'll say 50% of people who attended were port members, with the rest made up of Brisbane and other non-member supporters. That means, conservatively, about 30% of the powers available attendance members were at the game.

Again, being conservative, lets say 50% of the people who left the game, 7431, were port members. The rest being general admission port fans, or football fans leaving early. I'm also going to assume that of the 1800 that remained, most were Brisbane supporters, general admission ticket holders, or port fans who think leaving early is disgraceful.

So, being conservative, just over 13% of the power member base walked out of the game against Brisbane before the whistle in disgust.

Now, as I keep saying, I think I'm being conservative. Chances are the membership numbers include bullcrap memberships, which decreases the numbers of attendance members and increases the percentage of actual members who can get into games to get into the game. Anyone care to check my figures?

Anyway. No excuses for the board to ignore these and other trends when making decisions about the clubs future. What's worse is the lack of any spotlight on the Crows mess while Hinkleygate is taking all the attention.

Has it been sacked yet

Just quietly:

1. I'm not sure what your point is
2. How many people left the game means nothing
3. Your start number is massively wrong because a lot of those memberships would be 3 game memberships
4. Hinkleygate didn't start this weekend we have wanted Hinkley out before Nicks was coaching at the Crom

 

[Jojay]

Lol he clips Kenneth nicely in this one.

Definitely not a fan of Hinkley is Grant

 

[Capital Power]

Magpies determined to outdo the Power, and lose by 83.

In the two games combined we conceded 139 I50s and 41 goals.

Must be just the players...

 

[ctpower]

Therein lies the major part of the problem, ie a narcissistic ego tripper like koch ever being able to admit how wrong he was.

Unless kern pulls the pin on himself which is highly unlikely, he will see out his contract in front of almost certainly ever dwindling crowds, and in the process set the club back even further.

Yep I agree.

Membership numbers are completely made up across the league. Worst metric imaginable. They'll try to make you a member for buying a ticket to a single game as an opposition supporter.

 

[DaTBird187]

I want to screw Margot Robbie, the Rakuten girls and most Hong Kong soft pr0n actresses

I feel this list has been given some serious thought. I don’t get any spur of the moment vibes.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We don't need a rebuild, we need at least one new coach and some depth because Hinkley has screwed our drafting and we carry a handful of players every game.

Yep, the list is fine. It's absolutely good enough to win a flag if it's coached to be better than the sum of it's parts.

People worry too much about the list. We finished top 4 last season with a worse list. The coaching is dogshit and the players have completely mentally checked out. They'll be fine under a coach who inspires them again.

 

[DaTBird187]

I'm now of the belief that our push into China was facilitated by the CCP so Xi Jinping could get some masterclasses from Koch and Hinkley on how to dupe the masses, manipulate the media, silence dissent, and stay in power for decades beyond your expiry date.

In return, Ken introduced the concept of throwing your tea over your shoulder instead of drinking it.

[Elmer_Hauser]

No coach will survive for much longer than than the crap Kern copped on the weekend.

If nothing else, the spineless board members of the PAFC (who ticked off on Kern's unwarranted extension last year) will agree to dumping Ken, even if in order to save their own spineless hides.

Once an agreement of a payout with your club and Kern can be reached, Hinkley will go..

But you should be encouraged greatly that the end is nigh. Ken is definitely a dead coach walking, only a matter of when, not if.

Given previous coaches in the system like Michael Voss and Brad Scott are having success at their new clubs, I think Nathan Buckley would be my obvious choice as Kern's successor.

Regardless Kern is done. In his heart I suspect he knows it too.

 

[jdeezy]

If we want to use attendance as a measure, Port's average home attendance at Adelaide Oval (excluding COVID crowd effected years of 2020/2021) is 38060, so yesterday represented a below average crowd. Yes it was a Saturday arvo, which typically has lower attendance, but it was also a reasonably sunny, pleasant day and a game that on paper seemed like it could've been a good match up, so you'd imagine some of the types that only go to the footy once in a while would've been there. So financially we're no doubt taking less in gate takings for sure, because supporters that used to go week in, week out have stopped going.

Bulldogs game crowd will be worse, you can almost guarantee it.

 

[gbear]

He/They deserved to be booed. That was the most limp, lifeless, lethargic performance I've seen live from us in 13 years.

According to Graham Cornes he didn’t deserved to be booed. The Cornes family can all **** off.

 

[PJ Power]

Definitely not a fan of Hinkley is Grant

Maybe he’s a closet Port fan then.

 

[gbear]

Graham Cornes has come to Ken Hinkley's defence, so that's the whole Cornes mafia. We know we're on the right track then.

He has got to protect his boys job!
