Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[Duck Farmer]

Literally every person who still supports Hinkley several years ago said something along the lines of "if he doesn't make the Grand Final next year he'd have to go" and then just abandon that opinion when the club doesn't sack him.

Tbf, that was before he told everyone he still wants the job. Can't sack him now.

as the next coach sometime in the future sounded like a sales pitch to other clubs to take the threat away from himself. Well, I'd like to think it was.

 

[El_Scorcho]

It is absolutely staggering what we've had to go through. Ridiculous. Any sort of "coach A vs coach B" analysis loses in terms of club v club, because even genuinely bad coaches get moved on within a few years.

Tbf, that was before he told everyone he still wants the job. Can't sack him now.

Don't forget that he is doing his best. That alone gives him immunity from being held to account let alone sacked.

 

[Grave Danger]

To the White Noise Brigade Hinkley is like the neighbour from hell, but the wimp of a landlord keeps giving the bugger a new lease, despite the tenant trashing the place.

Like clockwork the media pushing the narrative of blaming the players

The bigger picture optimism had worn thin when we blew a 2nd season in a row in 2016. Literally every person who still supports Hinkley several years ago said something along the lines of "if he doesn't make the Grand Final next year he'd have to go" and then just abandon that opinion when the club doesn't sack him.

Yep. I would be ready to fire a coach that had arrived in 2018 and did what Hinkley have done since then.

You and your soft as sh*t HBF can * off. Jeepers, this pile on to JHF is all Hinkley's fault. Back your players you moron.

Plus the facade about him allegedly being the greatest Port coach in our AFL history. Of course, this is only true until a rival club is searching for a new coach - it's interesting that nobody ever gives Ken a call. He's a wonderful coach, as long as he stays at Alberton.

I got downvoted on Reddit when I posted in the "Who's the worst coach for your club ever?" thread.

I wrote "Ken Hinkley, he is the longest coach without a premiership in the clubs 154 year history."

Yeah but you've forgotten about the evil Matthew Primus. DON'T YOU REMEMBER 2011???????

 

[EskimoPAFC]

The idea of Hinkley being even in the same universe as Williams is so disrespectful to Choco's legacy it shouldn't even be said. Absolutely disgusting to even consider a comparison between the two.

The closest modern comparison for Hinkley is Primus but even then we never got to see what Matty was capable of post-AO and with a decent list. I'll bet he wouldn't have gone 12 years without a GF appearance though.

will be seen as a candidate.


"It is really clear in my mind that Josh will be an outstanding coach," Hinkley said. "I would love that to be at Port Adelaide. If Josh has something he wants to pursue (elsewhere) I would be very supportive of Josh."

Right now I am sure you would want Carr elsewhere you selfish prick.

At least Primus was a Port person, unlike this muppet. Given the calibre of the players at our disposal now, I'd be happy to see what Matty could do with them. One thing is certain - you wouldn't see him laughing/grinning after a loss!!!

 

[PA88]

Primus was clearly not up to it but he had the club's best interests at heart. Anymore resources might have just prolonged the inevitable. True, Primus wouldn't be laughing after losses. Only our coach does that. The board erred in not appointing Scott.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Primus driving the culture while someone like Walsh did the tactics could have been amazing.

Say what you like about primus but he was doing the Lord's work in trying to rid the club of the brothers Cornes.

Why is anyone asking this dead man walking loser anything? His opinion doesn't matter. He'll be gone in a few weeks

The retconning of Primus as good, actually is fan fiction at the most insane level. He was a great man of integrity, but not up to it as a coach. To his eternal credit, he had some self-awareness, unlike his successor.

He probably was out of his depth however there's a fair reason for some reflection, he was willing to make hard calls (The Cornes' problem) all while trying to navigate young blood into a club on it's knees with a football department running on the smell of an oily rag.
