Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[1954]

Which is why it needs to be someone like Buckley, who won't care about people's feelings, and he would certainly scoff at the idea of Port being everyone's favourite team. I can see him and Koch butting heads, and my money's on Buckley.

Agreed, Buckley has been there and done that as a successful Port player who would in my opinion at the very least do his part in getting the list back to believing again in what was once the club's core values!

 

[Hodges 153!]

So her rationale is,

He should resign? Really? Really?

Not resign, I think her inference was the board should have sacked him lolz.

 

[Vagabond0]

We are literally living South Park episodes of Kenny coming back round after round.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Can't believe we allowed CD that snake to have the Summer of George. That thread needs to be erased.

 

[Vagabond0]

The funny thing about all of this is that the surefire way to get rid of all of this horrible 'division' is to just sack Hinkley. The 90% of Port fans who want him gone will be satisfied, and the 10% of happy clappers who want him to stay will forget he ever existed as soon as the new coach they can happily clap for is announced.

If you don't like division, then sack Hinkley.

Watch the pile on from the happy clappers and media on the new coach if we don't immediately win a flag.

You see Kenny has gone and nothing changed.

You can almost hear the lobbying to bring Kenny back

 

[Duck Farmer]

Isn’t he supposed to be one of the most sought after sport administrators in Australia?

Hopefully he gets sought after harder.

 

[tribey]

Not resign, I think her inference was the board should have sacked him lolz.

If Koch did that he’d have a January 6 event on his hands.

 

[DaTBird187]

So was Kingy on with Kane this morning? Anything positive from our unlikely media saviour?

Isn’t he supposed to be one of the most sought after sport administrators in Australia?

I have a recollection Davies just missed out on what was apparently a plum national admin job a few years back, but I can't remember who it was with, or what it was about.

Gotta admit I've never seen a protection racket quite like this for a coach.

Booing is always pathetic unless aimed at a 19 y.o. homesick kid.

 

[bomberclifford]

I love how due to a lack of footy people on the board we’ve entrusted the cricket guy with calling the shots.

A low-level cricket guy.

 

[raglan road]

How pathetically inadequate must Hinkley be that he needs this level of protection. Jesus Christ!

 

[Hodges 153!]

A low-level cricket guy.

WHO ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO GET!

We obviously obviously need to be reciting The Creed before the game.

Well it's a mess, ain't it sheriff
If it ain't, it'll do til the mess gets here.

 

[Andre]

I'm putting my boooo shoes on for the Dogs game. I'm gonna Boo til I'm down on all fours, heaving and frothing from the mouth. They can take me away in a stretcher.

If we lose to the Saints, I don't think Hinkley will be coaching the Bulldogs game. Not because the idiots in charge finally do the right thing. They'll hide him, by him having 'flu' or some other unexpected illness, hoping the heat will die down. WIth either a win to take pressure off, or if a loss, they'll go 'See? Carr can't win with this list of hacks either! Praise Ken!'.

It is funny, but it makes me angry too.

 

[philreich]

Kane Cornes is a bit of a dick isn’t he?
He’s said a few times that if things get worse Ken will know and step away or words to that effect.
Like he at least deserves to call his own time coming to an end.
Truly weird take.

LOL that's a bit like saying that Osama bin Laden was a bit of a terrorist.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Remember the media pile on when non norf fans booed JHF?

You can literally boo anybody outside of Adam Goodes or Ken Hinkley.

 

[Ilias M]

Once thing certain our players would never have the guts to come back at Hinkley

Sorry to intrude guys but this sh*t is just unbelievable.

We have never seen anything that even comes close to this. The media are bending over backwards for this campaigner like nothing I've ever seen. What the hell sets Kenny apart from any other coach that makes him devoid of any criticism? It's got me fuming and I'm not even a bloody Port fan.

It literally mirrors a f*cking dictatorship.

Kornes, Wankley, Caro and worst of all this Barrett w*nker can all get farkkked.

Appreciate your sentiments, thankyou.

What we need is more people like you, a league wide show of support for Port supporters.
Its clear that the AFL and its media mouthpieces dont value the supporters at all so we need weight of numbers to push back.
They cant even run the league correctly yet want to control our club.

Every supporter should give consideration to how they'd feel if it were their club being dictated to in this way and get behind us.
Its simply unjust to keep things as they are at Port when no other club has had to endure it for a record length of time.

I'd love to see the chaos in the media if the players started booing, or endorsing it

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Proper journalism, proper Port Adelaide. Port v Norwood at Norwood Oval, 1981.

 

[TazD]

So was Kingy on with Kane this morning? Anything positive from our unlikely media saviour?

Within the first 10mins he publicly called out the clubs nepotism regarding Jordan.

 

[philreich]

I guess if Carr is the man, I'm not sure i want him thrown to the wolves with the bargain basements coaching panel beneath him as the interim coach. Getting time to start fresh next year with a new team of coaches hopefully and time to develop his own plans and strategies is probably a better option.

I'm really torn about it. I 100% want Ken gone and i think it will definitely be his last year but i can understand why they are not making that call just yet.

I think it's important he goes now, bearing in mind the physical and mental welfare of the players. I genuinely think that Hinkley's game plan, plus his derogatory comments about the players (eg in recent press conferences), are having a negative effect on their careers. This can't continue - I'm confident their careers will flourish as soon as Hinkley walks out the door for the last time.
