Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[Ford Fairlane]

Clarence Beeks. L.A. Deputy Chief of Police Dwayne T. Robinson. Shermer High Vice Principal Richard Vernon.

Paul Gleason played the arrogant full-of-himself dickhead better than anyone. He would've been perfectly cast as Ken in any movie about this consummate shitshow. Might've made the campaigner a bit too likeable, but...

That guy was so good. Don't mess with the bull young man, you'll get the horns.

With all due respect, what is Tredrea supposed to say? If he were to say anything other than words to that affect, it would be another media shit storm led by the three stooges of Kane, Caro and Gerard.



I think they've actually done a lot right but have been hampered and hindered by Ken's presence where he blocks out the light in the building like a solar eclipse.

Getting rid of Ken will be removing a massive dead weight in the footy department. Will be impossible not to see a mental lift in its aftermath.

No I didn't mean it from that angle,. Nothing to do with Tim or Tredrea . I shouldn't have mixed that comment in with that.

Have you guys considered Nathan Buckley as replacement coach?

The media guy? Why?

Who?

"Port Adelaide assistant coach Chad Cornes said the group is confident it can turn things around following its Qualifying Final loss to Geelong on Thursday night.

Describing the loss as an ‘aberration’, Cornes said he expects a strong response this Friday night, when the club takes on Hawthorn."

Chad it's not an aberration you dolt. Look at our finals record. It's the norm.

Can we ship this guy out the door with Hinkley? Great player, passionate, but too dim to be a coach. And I'm not just talking about this comment (which is him putting on a brave public face - can't blame him for that). But he's always seemed too dim to coach.

I'd consider Rod as a replacement.



Why do people obsess with "wHO arE YoU gONna GEt?" This thread is about sacking the most unsuccessful coach in V/AFL history. There's another thread for discussing replacements

After Port beat Fremantle in round 24 to secure 2nd spot - Ken was seen as a superhero.
Where were the Hinkley haters then?

He cannot win me over because of what happened Thursday night. He is way out of his depth as a successful AFL coach.

Hinkley is a fantastic coach. You guys just got extremely lucky Thursday night.

Ken was seen as a superhero.

By who? No one here!
Maybe in Donna's eyes?

If you are genuinely interested and not just trolling, which I highly doubt, have a read of this thread from this page. It’s from the day that we beat Fremantle. 100 pages ago.

Opinion - Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

It's hard not to draw comparisons between our current 2020-23 period and Chocos 2001-03 period of finals failure. Backlash, criticism and pressure from key stakeholders (in this instance the fans) may again force an urgency to get it done. A fourth top 4 finish in 5 years, would be torturous...

Hinkley is a dud a baboon would have a better game plan

 

[PA88]

Hate Ken but I don't want out in straight sets.

Chris Scott is the best coach in the game, he often makes other coaches appear out of their depth.
Look at his record against Clarkson for instance.

The way you always glaze Ken you’d think he’s one of the best too

I'm sure he would have been contacted at some stage. When that would have been and what his availability would have been is up for discussion.

 

[GremioPower]

Anyone who was involved in the 2023 extension should be fired. There really should be no question about that. The most obvious terrible decision in the club's history.

2017 was worse

Have you got a death wish Taper I would **** off and don't come back until a week after Hinkley is sacked when it will be safe for you.

Let's say that Port decide to terminate Hinkley's employment.
Who do you suggest replacing him with? The coaching market is relatively thin when it comes to available quality at the moment.
It's why Richmond ended up with Yze who is a dud.

Look Taper I am sure you are a good bloke but please just taper off.

From everything I’ve heard the entire point they bought back Carr is to replace Hinkley so I think he’s the obvious choice.

If the club went with your logic we’ll be in year 30 with Kenny and still say “who ya gonna get”?

 

[GremioPower]

When Koch says "we looked at the data" what he means is "Ken told me he wanted to coach on and the thought of having a hard conversation with him made my tummy hurt"

He means that this is good enough for us. We are at where we are supposed to be. This is how the board sees it.

You can make of that what you will.
