Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[Chewy316]

That won’t happen because those in charge wouldn’t want the media heat of sacking a coach while you’re still in the running of finals. Kochie would have to come out and totally contradict his narrative to this point.

Right now the media heat is nothing compared to the reality of, on the 20th anniversary celebration of your only AFL premiership, half the crowd leave at 3/4 time with the remaining die hards left at Adelaide Oval booing the senior coach whenever he showed up on the screen.

Depends if we kick the first 3/4 goals then no one ..
But if were 3/4 down then it's a chance to get going..

Unfortunately a lot of our supporters are see monkey do monkey..

If your clapping then everyone claps if your booing then every campaigner boos

Many Port supporters I know have surprised me in that they have been way more accepting of Ken & his mediocrity than I have been. It's been hard to engage them into in-depth conversations about Kens performance. They either don't think about it in any depth or they think it's disloyal to the club.

I know a few like that, but they've largely turned on him too. Even the die hards have glimpsed behind the curtain.

The Club has been complicit in this. They’ve allowed his arrogance and selfishness to fester by NEVER holding him accountable for his performance. Premature contract extensions. Pissweak KPIs. Radio silence. Twisting facts to fit their reality. That’s all on the Club.

Sure Ken’s a dodgy used car salesman but Port has been an absolute wood duck customer.

Remember that ****ing behind the scenes footage where Ken and KT swaggered in to a team meeting like a couple of old gunslingers in the old west walking through main street at high noon, all like 'we know you are', then proceded to delist John Butcher and call it a day.

It was ****ing yous two blokes in the mirror!

Not sure if I want to watch AFL 360 tonight. Hopefully Robbo has a different point of view.

A lot of people rock up to the footy with their family or mates, completely forget about the result, then go again next week.

BigFooty types are in the top 0.1% of obsessives about the club (not a value judgment, it just is). A weakness in the campaign against Hinkley has been the ability to understand or communicate with the aforementioned types

Fantastic, I hope they finally got the message. I'm never going to forget that pathetic performance delivered by the club to honour Russell Eberts passing. Since Ken has coached us we have had many examples of poor performances when we have been honouring our proud history.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

No - the best possible scenario is that he gets sacked immediately.

If this Club is serious, Ken shouldn't coach another game.

I mean you're definitely correct if we're being serious.

 

[Schulzenfest]

No - the best possible scenario is that he gets sacked immediately.

If this Club is serious, Ken shouldn't coach another game.

If the club was serious Ken wouldn't have coached a game after (at the latest) 2019.

Even the local media is turning. The buffalo is stumbling.

I had an excellent pre-game exchange at my 3 year old nephew's birthday party. There were casual Port supporters there who just couldn't understand why I hated Hinkley so much. They laughed about it, completely puzzled on why I would think this way.

Then we coughed up 12 goals straight.

Haven't watched it for years. Whaetley has become too embarassing.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Whateley basically said “Who else are ya gonna get?”

Given our performance during the bye was better than this week under Hinkley, I'm gonna say anyone.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Tredders is filling in for Timmy G on 5CrowCrow this week apparently. He's going to have some awkward moments!

[PowerBaz]

Is Ken still here?

 

[Sharaz Jek]

"What does it feel like to be under the pump as a coach?"

The amount of sneering hypocrisy for Kane to even ask this is laughable.

Probably been posted but this thread moves so quickly!

 

[MrMeaner]

I wonder how much of the "they don't like him because he's Victorian" is ignorance and how much is passing on background to justify Ken fleeing back to his homeland once it's all done.

A wimp indeed, you're right.

Haha this guy is seriously a ****en cuck. Shut up loser I will pummel you.

"And so the angry mob BOO'D the coach, It's a nasty way to treat a good and loyal man"

Like he's reading a book to children, we are somehow the villains in the story and poor innocent Kenny is being bullied. I am actually laughing out loud at this. It's the single worst piece of media from a journo I've ever heard.

Yeh it completely bamboozles & frustrates me.

Are alarm bells ringing at Port Adelaide?

Damian Barrett and Josh Gabelich share their thoughts

Barrett - It was right to extend Ken Hinkley for a 12th and 13th season.

also Barrett - I didn't have them in the 8, or maybe just in 8th at best.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
