Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[Ford Fairlane]

Never forgot this classic. Mark never recovered after this

Always loved this moment

It was like

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.

 

[Grave Danger]

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

 

[Us against the rest]

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.

"Wholistically, the media will not put Ross Lyon under any pressure."

Kane has to be having a laugh.

 

[TazD]

Kane reckons norf is closer to a flag than us. I hope thats not the thought inside the club.

 

[PowerBaz]

Did he say that this morning?

Thing is, Clarko, Mitchell will structure a team based on more than 'emotion'....

We are in desperate need of restructure which has been left to waddle along for 6 years too many.

2017 was the year Ken should of gone to Gold Coast.

I assume in his next sentence he went on to appropriately apportion the blame for this

Ken's the victim. It's not him.

Good to know that he gets it, as if the giant WE EXIST TO WIN PREMIERSHIPS visible on the wall in the rooms at every home game wasn't a dead giveaway.
Maybe he walks around with his eyes closed.

They all think the club’s ethos is just catnip for morons, and isn’t meant to be taken seriously.

It’s why Keith Thomas allowed some ponytailed wänker to tack on “and make our community proud” to it, and why a pair of former premiership players have gone on record as saying it’s unrealistic and leads to delusional expectations.

Ken would be no different.

We know Koch is. “Little club”, etc.

Who else you going to get though??

Tide of public opinion has well and truly turned.

Kane Cornes surely made up part of that 15%
