Sack Koch and Hinkley will literally flee. we don't even need to Sack Hinkley he'll just run scared when Koch is gone. Sack Koch

This X Plenty, I have long held the opinion that any public derision aimed specifically at koch and he would collapse quicker than an empty margarine container under the wheels of a London bus!

I suspect it won't happen as kern is obviously seen as the primary target for the crap the club has become, but a well orchestrated `Sack Koch' campaign aimed directly at his enabler could have the effect of smashing both of them back into the never never where they belong!

It would make a great video montage to start AFL 360.

On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

I was thinking more as a video montage before the Bulldogs game on the big screens

Kornes: Amon is a much better player at Hawthorn than he was at Port Adelaide..

What's the difference Kane? eh

It's a ridiculous statement by Cornes. Port developed Amon from a pick 68 in the National Draft to a quality AFL player who Hawthorn actively headhunted. Any improvement has been on an expected curve with his experience and seniority.

Seriously these two sound like two primary school children arguing over toys in the sandpit. It's embarrassing.

Like most here I don't really care if Ken loves the players or if they love him and they all get on so well in syndicates or they view him as father figure or whatever. Ken is hired as the Senior Coach, not to run an orphanage program.

By all means, it was a win so that beats the alternative. But I am equally concerned we played so poorly for large parts of the game against a poor St Kilda team who are 15th for a reason.

If the hierarchy think the players all did it for Ken and our structures and game plan showed we can compete with the best teams kicking eight goals and our rampaging 0.3 final term is proof of that, I guess those within the club will not be convinced otherwise. But it was an awful game of football and I think there are still more questions than answers on where we are heading, even after banking four points.

Feels like a good week for a farewell game, as much as I’d hate to see him get one.

This charade can’t go on week-to-week. It has truly become the Ken Hinkley Football Club.

Anyone who saw anything resembling a forward structure in that game must have also seen the Port player Kane Farrell thought he was kicking to when he dropped an uncontested pass onto Liam Henry's tit.

Never forgot this classic. Mark never recovered after this

T.K.O.

No need to start the count.

Out of nowhere. Ruthless. Lethal.

What a woman…

Always loved this moment

It was like

 

[Ljc_86]

Should get little packets of tissues and toss them to Ken when he’s on the bench.

I can’t believe he actually cried.

This is not my Port Adelaide.

No wonder the team is mentally weak and fragile in big games and set shots.

Ken would be a fantastic aus kick coach. Hurry up Jordan and have some grandkids ffs.

Report back from the flight - uneventful. Not much talking going on between the players, and they were all very tired. Hinkley really kept to himself and looked pretty cooked tbh.
There was this high flying loser couple (who Richardson acknowledged coming through) who kept talking to Wines about the "outside pressure from a small minority.. tough week.."... Wines clearly giving them the "shut up stare".

Sorry I couldn't cause a scene but I do rely on air travel and a clean criminal record.. lol.
There was a camera waiting for him at the gate in Adelaide so hopefully they zoomed in on him lol.

I was on the flight back from the Brisbane QF with the players. I couldn't imagine interacting with the players whether it be praise or giving them a hard time. They're just trying get home and it seems so out of line.

Ken was really emotional today.
He really wants to coach Port.
Got the feeling hes read this thread.
Give it all Ken for how ever long you remain at Port.

 

[Sharaz Jek]

Unbelievable.

Barely beating a St Kilda that a couple of half-wits in the forwardline will buy him time?

That's right, time and a place for everything and this isn't right. I actually had Boak next to me, just a quick "Hi Travis" upon boarding and let him be, then he actually made conversation towards the end of the flight. Nice guy.

Has dicknose Gerrard W opened his stupid little mouth yet? Say something weakling.

 

[tribey]

He never ever ever talks about doing it for the members..

It’s even more jarring given his recent pivot to “I get it, I understand [the criticism]”.

Has clearly been given some feedback and coaching by his manager or the club on how to empathetically navigate discontent, after a decade of tone-deaf ‘white noise/I wouldn’t change a thing’-type comments to go with the usual smirking and loathsome arrogance.

 

[Hodges 153!]

I mean you may as well just never sack anyone ever

There's probably still time to delete this before Davies logs in and gets ideas.

He's probably having trouble composing himself and his glasses keep fogging up.

Cornes is an absolute **** head, so suddenly we are equal to St Kilda for **** sake, I thought we were supposed to be a top 8 team.

 

[Powerade 08]

I’m pretty sure Higgins had part of his brain removed a couple years ago. That was basically why we won

Like someone said on Twatter, the way we played mirrored last week, but this time against shit opposition.

Then old mate Donuts goes and says in an interview the manner in which they played indicated they had his back.

Poetic really.
