Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[ElectricG]

I know this might be a bit radical around here, but I think we should sack Hinkley

reported.

 

[PowerBaz]

How can he be coaching at the top of his game with so much pressure?

Amazed he's just hanging around.... it's Kenny's club for his boyz to have a run around.

(1) They’re absolute idiots if they do, because Ken loves throwing them under the wheels when there’s responsibility to be taken.

(2) “When they play like that”. WTF. Yesterdays performance was absolute dogshit, we fell over the line due to the ineptitude of one of the worst teams in the comp.

Tide of public opinion has well and truly turned.

100 people voted and 15 of them were Fireman Cornes.

Good to see Hinkley solidified his 83% win record against bottom 10 sides yesterday.

A case of stockholm syndrome.

 

[Thunderer]

Now is the time to quit Ken. Quit after a win, otherwise people will think you're a loser.

 

[PowerBaz]

Just found Kenny a sponsor.

Can somebody please mock this one up and have Sarah Jones asking "How do you feel Ken" and Ken replying "Very hard".

 

[PortPortPort]

Yep stuff Andrew Gaze, he's all for Hinkley getting emotional and shaming Port supporters again.

 

[Needs Gravy]

Is there anything in an AFL coach’s contract they he would be hanging on for to maximise his payout. Would there be a clause if he gets to round x or a given date his payout is higher etc?

 

[TeeKray]

Nah it’s the list moit

The funny thing is, I actually think Hinkley is currently getting a reasonable level of performance from the list at his disposal. It's certainly not overachieving or total maximum level of performance but it's about what you'd expect if you were a neutral and looked at our list. The big issue for me is that this guy has had much better lists in the past and failed to have them a) consistently qualify for finals and b) actually perform when they do get to finals - so why would you trust him to be in charge of developing the current list knowing that even if it does improve it won't amount to anything on his watch?

 

[Contested Marx]

Loser coach
Loser chairman
Loser ceo
Loser football manager

and we wonder why it's a loser club

It's had the foundation gradually replaced over the last 12 years with custard

there's not one iota of humility amongst those 4, yet it will be Warren who's tarred with the "arrogant" brush by defenders of this regime

to quote the esteemed lawyer John Cook (w/r/t Charles I) "The King must die and the monarchy must die with him."

 

[PAFC66]

Abbey Holmes will be pashing him post game next week at this rate.

 

[Bump Bailey]

This is such surface-level analysis from Bartel, he probably didn’t even watch the game but saw the post-game tears and concluded “they did it for Kenny”.

It was an uninspiring performance and hardly one that suggested the players were rallying to the cause of their coach. If Jack Higgins wasn’t so *******, Saints win and Ken might be gone today.

Moreover, Rozee produced some very non-committal, ambiguous commentary on Ken post-game. Also, while a player refusing to do media when asked last week could mean many things, obviously the point of it would have been to back the coach publicly. And they said no.

So I don’t think it’s all happy families down there.

I agree
We've had better lists.

 

[Interstater]

Remaining Games:
Dogs (H)
Suns (A)
Tigers (H)
Carlton (A)
Sydney (H)
Melb (A)
Showdown (H)
Freo (A)

4 more wins required to get to 13.

Order of difficulty
1. Tigers (H)
2. Dogs (H)
3. Suns (A)
4. Showdown
------------------
5. Melb (A)
6. Freo (A)
7. Syd (H)
8. Carlton (A)

Technically we can still make it for 4 more weeks.
Realistically it will be decided in the next 2 weeks (if it hasn't been already)

Lose any of the next 3 games and it's over.

To have ANY chance of making finals, he HAS to go this week, so Port have a better chance of winning this week.

However we all know what will happen.

Bartel is as "objective and impartial" on the subject of "Kenny" as Kornes is. For the life of me I don't understand why no-one calls them out on this.

 

[Kenny_Powers]

Really though, who gives a shit if the players have Kens back, he and them can't win the games they need to, to bring about success, it's been that way for 12 years.

And then you get to the next issue which is why hasn’t he built a better list? Why has he traded away parts that we’ve ended up needing to fill again (specifically Howard and Ladhams, Frampton as well, possibly Duursma in future, there would be more as well) and we’ve only managed to fill them with scraps from other clubs? It’ll be a bit of a poisoned chalice for our next coach so I don’t expect a coaching change to result in a flag within 5 years, but rewarding the guy who oversaw every player on our list bar one enter the club is just so unbelievable.

They have had his back, but has he had theirs over the years? Considering he’s outwardly said at least once that we’d have done worse with some of the players that weren’t selected in a loss (read: “not my fault, I did selection just right”) and it’s always fair game to criticise the players when the team isn’t going well but Ken is seemingly always off limits, I don’t think he really does. We’ve also seen certain careers wasted under him, it just doesn’t look to me like this is a coach that truly cares about the team.

More Geelong hand baggers sticking up for their failed mate, they just don't want him at Geelong.
