Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[tribey]

I'm not sure about that. Hinkley is a pretty good home and away season coach.

You can just never properly trust him to deliver a win against anyone but the competition minnows, and the majority of our better H&A wins of the past umpteen years have been largely unexpected upsets in the “wait, where the f#%k did that come from?!” mould.

 

[longdonkey]

In my opinion just getting rid of kick it to Charlie and that ridiculous high line will be worth 2 games. September will be the cream. To be fair you can see some of it disappearing from our game during the past 12 months.

Where the value in moving on from Hinkley will come from is during September.

Yeah I was thinking -1 in season and +1-2 in finals.

Even if a new coach doesn't lead to more wins, it'll hopefully mean a lot of other things:

• No more throwing players under the bus
• A return to public acknowledgement of the lifeblood of the club - the fans
• No more laughing/grinning after a Port loss

Just to name a few - there will definitely be many other benefits!!!

Permanently dropping Mac and cheese is worth a couple of games a year

Most important one: hope. We'll be able to enjoy the prospect of at least having a shot at glory

Know our ITK has put it a low chance that Hinkley is coaching next year but just cannot shake off the unease. Will be a have to see to believe.

An in the know poster has a go at this every year since about 2017. Thats why we have this gif

Any inside info is pointless because the board is too spineless to stick with a decision. Kent Hinkley can easily win them back with a top 8 finish or a finals win.

Port supporters (for the most part) have always been seen as pretty knowledgeable when it comes to footy. Why is the club so blind to this guy?

If Dixon did not play last weekend we would have lost, where the best one on one defender in the comp this season Weitering, would have been on Esava.

Where Butters would not have run onto a ruck centre bounce clearance from Charlie and Ratugolea may not have taken the mark (and kicked the goal) when Charlie was holding off three Carlton defenders. Not to mention DBJ goal line kick where Charlie keep the ball in play.

This guy has crossed the line, mass report him and take him down.

I understand the trepidation, but the footy committee are the ones making the call on Hinkley. It has nothing to do with the Board outside of them ratifying the committee's decision.

To be honest, I think the biggest change that should come out of this saga is removing the decision to review football department/senior coach from the football committee. There needs to be genuine independence in these processes and should be top of Koch's list.

If Dixon didn't play somebody else would have and who knows, that other player might have kicked 5 who knows ...unless that player is Mac and Cheese.

I feel like someone has been having a word to Ken, professing how much he loved Port Adelaide the other day just doesn't seem like him.
Look as much as I don't like the guy I think he does love his boys, just not sold on the club love side of it.

That would then put the likes of Koch and Holly Ransom in charge of making decisions on the footy department. Do you trust them to get it right?

 

[Janey]

Lol, somebody fell for it

He’s a Carlton supporter, he’s probably just having a lend.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Yeah i saw that, but it was still funny. There would have been someone that really fell for it

Koch doesn”t need Holly to reinforce his unilateral control of the club.

Get real for godsake.

He's never said it before. Honest Ken. Bullsh*t.

Hinkley survives as PAFC coach longer than two Australian airlines.

Is dom cassisi still on the footy committee. If so its a draw.
