Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[dirty2]

You can relax. This result does not change anything going forward. Making finals isn't going to save Ken.



It's going to be ok.

In chewy we trust!

This is just facts. Ken Hinkey is the greatest motivator coach in history.

The Collingwood coach is also considered a motivator coach but his sample size is too small and a flag doesn't really tilt the scale to him being a better motivator coach then ken Hinkey. Also watch his lowest ladder position he takes pies compared to ken

Chris Scott is a tactical coach. So I ask name a better motivator coach?

Will follow you with interest (rather put pins in my eyes) when he's your coach. Enjoy the "motivation"

He's here next year too.

What happened to all those who said the list wasnt good enough? We're top 4 with ****ing Hinkley as coach.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

He actually behaved like a professional coach on the siren tonight, rather than the lunatic scenes of the Geelong and St Kilda wins, and that stupid Irish dance he did last year against Melbourne.

Its because for once he cares - desperately trying to impress West Coast.

To be clear, when I say "I don't believe you", that doesn't mean I think you're lying. I believe you have a source and I believe you genuinely believe the information you're getting from your source to be true. But this is at least year 4 of hearing that he's definitely gonna be sacked at the end of this year. And we did a 'complete 180' those last 3 times too.

You said yourself you don't trust the board, so I assume your source isn't a board member, and that means that your source can only go off what they've been told by other people. People, especially the people on our pissweak board, have been known to change their mind when faced with the prospect of making a hard decision.

I think the standard Ken would have to achieve for that 'complete 180' to come about is probably a lot lower than you and your source have been led to believe it is. I expect if we make finals, even if it's only losing an elimination final, that'll be enough. And after tonight we're a lot more likely than not to make finals.

Fwiw, I never thought he was getting sacked in 2019 or 2021. I thought it was a legit possibility in 2022 provided they could get Clarkson, but once Clarkson went to North that was done. He was done in 2023 until they went on that win streak. There was even an important meeting between the big wigs at the Club the week of the Sydney game in round 4, where they lined up how they were going to proceed because it seemed obvious at the time that he was done. Then they went on the 13 game streak and people caved.

C4's info has pretty much been on the money all these years and I can't recall him ever saying Hinkley was near the sack either.

And this year is the first time I've ever really posted what I know about the Hinkley situation, I've never said in previous years he's done.

You and I can be in full disagreement about the standard required to keep Ken. I trust the people telling me what's going on, and if for whatever reason it changes, I expect to be in a position to provide an explanation as to why that occurred.

 

[Contested Marx]

Weird innit

Even 4 years ago, when all hope was well gone, I'd have watched that and enjoyed a win and tuned into the media to hear about all the positive stuff

Now it just makes me sick

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Ken's going to go on another run and win at least 1 elimination final and be our coach 2025. :')

 

[sobrave]

He's here next year too.

Top 4 is a meme this year. You can go from 2nd to 13th in 2 weeks

 

[philreich]

Nothing changes after last night - I just can't get excited until we win a preliminary final.

 

[bradfisher14]

Condolences on your win last night.

Yep, sorry we let you all down

 

[Steve Dore]

The Footy Committee are the ones who make the call - not the Board. And there are people on that committee with strong agendas to move on from Ken at the conclusion of this season.
...

Other than Tredrea who is on the Footy Committee that wasn't part of the committee that recommended Hinkley be given a contract extension last August? Greyhound syndicate member Chris Davies and Koch lapdog Cassisi are still there aren't they? How did all these people with strong agendas to move Hinkley on suddenly get on the committee?

Multitude of factors.

When the ship starts to falter - people want to jump to save themselves.

I couldn’t change the channel quick enough after the final siren.

Wasn’t interested in the post-game circle jerk that inevitably followed.

Everything at this club has become about one person and it’s just ruined it for me.

Humbling post. I'm going to rethink my philosophy on excellence in sport.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Hey, I won't hear a word against Amanda Blair, she is a lovely person.

She's allowed an opinion and she will hardly influence the decision on Hinkley.

Really made me have a good look in the mirror and think about my actions. Thank you Amanda Blair.

Presumably Richmond didn’t keep the same coach for 37 years while they waited.

 

[chachi11]

Hinkley was reserved last night after the siren, there was no awkward finger twitch or pom poms...even in the presser he wasn't his normal smug self.
Obviously told to stop acting like a weirdo..

We are 3rd on the ladder subject to the round being completed.

Then we are 7th for maybe this week and next.

Then we are tenth if we lose to the Crows.

And it is probably harder for him to take credit for coaching decisions he isn’t making

And presumably, we don’t have to be like Richmond if we don’t choose to be.

The idea that we should just accept where we are because other clubs had to wait a long time for success is something I’ll never understand.

There really is no counterargument to the old "some of my best mates are Port supporters".
