Wtf. Please boo.

Booed, under-paid and over-scrutinised: Who’d be an AFL coach?
The AFL must end the conversation about improving the lot of coaches, and act. Watching Ken Hinkley after last Sunday’s game should have proved another wake-up call.

I think Caroline's village is missing their idiot. If Ken was on a performance based contract, he'd be owing the club a considerable amount by now.The only thing more inaccurate than Hinkley being under-paid is him being over-scrutinised.
So Wilson's point is we should be paying Hinkley more and questioning him less?
GTFO.
What about the torture for us fans, who are forced to endure his game plan?Wilson should be directing her ire at Koch and co for continuing the torture on this poor bastard.
This was the kicker from that article - that someone in the AFL (our new GG) thought that competitive winning at all costs was a dangerous idea , seriously this is not kids sport where participation is valued over winning...from the article
"Almost a decade earlier, then AFL commissioner Sam Mostyn questioned whether the brutal and unforgiving win-loss environment was a sustainable working model for the majority and whether the competition’s governors could work to mitigate the game’s punishing narrative.
Mostyn’s views were philosophically cast aside, notably by AFL Commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick, who remained wedded to the view that the game’s competitive ruthlessness was the whole point."
Plenty of ammo jobs if Hinkley can't take the heat of coaching at the highest professional level.It's... Professional sports at the highest level. Not an everyone gets a medal school sports carnival
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a strategic, pre planned scenario between him, Norton and Koch, with the broadcaster on condition we won.Jeepers Caro. The faker made a beeline to Sarah Jones, running faster than he ran away from the ball off the hbf for the Geelong Handbaggers. It was a deliberate act. Spare me the "poor Ken" beatitudes.
Good callStill holds up one year later.

But can they back it up next week - how can you have any faith?I thought our list wasnt capable? Where are the list haters now?
Like clockwork...
Underperform so you can gradually lower expectations
Finally get some pressure
Have a win or two that looks good but means nothing because we cant produce it consistently while dick spinning about how good we are and how the "haters" are proved wrong
Go back to underperforming
Same way for 12 years
This buys him the season at least, probably next. ****ing useless bulldogs.
