Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

BUT HE PASSED HIS EXAM, LEAVE HIM ALONE!! (crys)

I'd boo the shit out of Whateley

 

[Willsy10]

Whiteley is far worse than Kones. I think Kones still loves the club and really wants them to succeed, he just loves Daddy and Chadbro too so he is horribly conflicted.

Whiteley is just a little weasel that somehow thinks he is god's gift to footy commentary and that he is better than everyone else. He is easily the biggest piece of shit in the media for me.

Beautiful trolling by Bucks.

He mentions the Fagan press conference after the GWS loss and just look at Kane's face.

As a reminder, this is what Kane said at the time.

“To hear Chris Fagan, he had no idea. Honestly, that was a coach who had no idea. Whether that’s because he sits on the interchange bench and didn’t have the stats in front of him or he wasn’t able to summarise what had gone on or whether he was just in shock, but that was as unimpressive a post-match media conference from a coach as I’ve heard all year,” Cornes remarked on AFL Nation.

“We can be critical at times but if you’re a Brisbane Lions supporter asking what’s going wrong, you got no answers from the coach, he’s got no idea what’s going on.

“That’s the biggest concern.”

Is there something written into Hinkley's contact about being executed for failure? Whateley mentioned offing him and staking his head at Alberton a few too many times for it to be hyperbole.

 

[edgie]

I use to go to a few home Magpies games every year but recently have been too frustrated with their approach & performance to bother. Half the time it doesn't look like they're even trying.

I mean if you are there to socialise what does it matter?

I don’t think I’ve heard a more drama queenesque ramble by a sports broadcaster.
It’s like he’s immersed himself in the character and that character is Ken’s mum.

Whately is absolute garbage

I am a competitive person & that never switches off in a sporting environment

Ken, the forgotten Stark.

 

[TeeKray]

We won Hinkley's first game by 79 points.

On the weekend we lost by 79 points.

Make of this what you will.

 

[TazD]

How lucky is Ken that Kane and Whateley are the two biggest names in the AFL media.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

The weasel Gerard actually starts tearing up at 3:30. What a wimp

Lol finally trying to listen to this...

"Port are patently not good enough to challenge the top end. They have gently tried to share that with their supporter base and it has fallen on deaf ears."

So if we're not good enough after 12 years why would you persist with the same bloke that's built the players and game plan in that time?

Why would you give away a top young player and your future first and second draft picks to go "all in" in 2024?

And why would you say your plan is to win 3 flags in 5 years in the first place?

Its mindblowing how dumb these morons are. If after 12 years you still aren't good enough to challenge, then we need a new coach.

 

[rogerjames]

They've been absolutely ruined by having a complete nuffie as coach who tries to implement Hinkley's game plan.

If Carry does get the job, I hope he gets a sanfl coach in and tells him to coach them to win under sanfl conditions. Yeah play the players largely in the positions they will play in the AFL but let him switch it up. Hartlett is completely clueless, and not helped by looking like it's a coaching committee out there with Lobbe and Westhoff making decisions. Utter rubbish.

Carry might try to get Surjan across from North, but if not I would even be happy to offer the job to Bassett tomorrow. He's just faffing around as an assistant to Steve Marshall and would probably like the opportunity to stick it up Ken who shot him into the sun.

The appointment of Hartlett did not surprise me given the decision making of our club. His complete failure as a coach also did not surprise me, I expected nothing less.

Agree, I want a hard as nails Sanfl coach who coaches to win Sanfl games as a first prioity. Do that and you will develop your younger players far quicker & they'll be much happier. The club just over complicates everything.

It's what Caro has been sprouting.

No, he aced it m8.

Kano, "Dont think the grass is greener on the other side"

Port fans, "Sorry mate, but the grass is dead with a paddock full of prickles on this side of the fence".

 

[rogerjames]

In amongst Gerard’s embarrassing, fawning defence of Ken he actually says the only thing that needs to be said. No coach makes it 12 years without a GF appearance and then survives a season of obvious decline.

His subsequent “Port fan bad” narrative makes absolutely no sense in the context of this comment, which has proven true throughout the 150 plus year history of Australian Rules Football.

No supporter base, of any club, has accepted it. Ever. So why should we?

Whateley just believes little old PA should feel privileged to have the great Ken Hinkley. The arrogance of these Vic's astounds me. They honestly believe they own football.

 

[snozulu]

Interesting to see in the media who the sympathizers are vs the criticizers.

Yet we are an angry mob just thirsting for blood for no reason, no reason whatsoever.

 

[rogerjames]

The funny thing is he thinks he's insulting us.

We are proud to keep the club accountable.

Correct, he has no idea that we embrace his comments. But it does show how f*kn arrogant he is & how arrogant Ken is. In reality he's just a pathetic weazel who would crumble in 2 minutes in the presence of the educated, knowledgeable mob.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

So any news of an emergency board meeting to boot Ken?

 

[PowerBaz]

Kane banging on about the he hopes the club puts the mob aside etc... etc..

He realizes Ken is in his 12th year, the club has done very well at not listening to the mob.

Bucks spoke very well, Kane sat there and looked a little uncomfortable.

"Port are patently not good enough to challenge the top end. They have gently tried to share that with their supporter base and it has fallen on deaf ears."

Gaslighting on an industrial scale.

• 3 top-4 finishes in the past 4 completed seasons, with constant aggressive trading and free agency moves to improve and win now

• CEO says we’re gunning for 3 flags in 5 years under the Chasing Greatness™ doctrine

• Hinkley himself has repeatedly declared this list is the best he’s had, when not saying that the flag is the goal

Where the hell does he get the idea the club has been trying to signal a downgrade in fortunes?

All our chips have been in the middle for the better part of a decade.
