Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[philreich]

Hands up if you legit thought Hinkley was going to West Coast.

I'd say it was more hope than belief

 

[philreich]

There's zero chance he's going to be a head coach anywhere else. It's absolutely farcical to think that.

Deep down, I even doubt that Kane Cornes would want him at Glenelg.

The bed wetting here is amazing.

One can only imagine the group circle jerking when he is gone

Kens been wetting the bed since 2015 when he threw the game plan out the window. He's a gutless wonder.

 

[Thunderer]

I’m happy to take time out to explain to you because you’re new.

1. Tradition. PAFC has a lot of it. Brisbane doesn’t … yet.

2. Hinkley brought in the co-captains ruse for 2019 as a diversion, an attempt to blunt the focus on his appalling coaching.

3. Hinkley is a fraud. Co-captains is a perfect example of how his grifter approach to his highly-paid job manifests itself.

Port Adelaide has always had a single captain. The captain traditionally wears the number 1 guernsey. When the player's term of captaincy ends, he resumes wearing his pre-captaincy number. The new captain then dons number 1.

This tradition was broken by Hinkley. When co-captains were announced, the number 1 guernsey was retired.

 

[rogerjames]

We only get to vote for 2.

That's 2 better than none. Sometimes it only takes one person to change the world so one person can change PA.

 

[rogerjames]

I'll say it once and I'll say it a million times that if the board are making decisions of the head coach based on one game then we are in much more trouble than we think.

It totally highlights we have no plan

The bed wetting here is amazing.

We have been lying on Ken's piss-soaked mattress for so long we don't even notice any more when we relieve ourselves.

And to think there is a whole generation now that have never known the smell of fresh air.

Hands up if you legit thought Hinkley was going to West Coast.

Camperdown will overlook Ken now.

 

[PA88]

It is calm and quiet for a sacking. Makes sense why some of us are nervous.

We're not getting a clearcut sacking. The best we can hope for is a stage managed stepping down (at full pay). It's just how we do things are Port under Koch. Whether Hinkley wants to walk or not, it'll be stage managed as mutual.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Fully supportive of Tredders taking a family holiday but it's absolutely churning my stomach that at crunch time we don't have Tredders there. Great if Snowdon is also on our side but there is strength in numbers and it just feels like we're going to get a Friday at 4.45pm style wave through and they won't even have a proper discussion let alone make the right decision.

 

[El_Scorcho]

"He's got a contract"

We keep giving him contracts for absolutely nothing. The bar for him to receive a contract is so low that there is enormous risk that if he enters next season and we go on a run of form and says he wants to continue, they'll extend him.

 

[longdonkey]

The lack of noise could be bad but it could also be good. Might it be that the decision has already been reached?

 

[Eddie Woloschek]

Nothing wrong with that.

Except he'd throw away the fish.

 

[RossFC]

The lack of noise could be bad but it could also be good. Might it be that the decision has already been reached?

He's staying. They've already said he's contracted and he's having time off before returning for pre-season.

HOW GOOD ARE THE CHIPS

 

[El_Scorcho]

Just on the co Captain thing. It has nothing to do with anything. Brisbane has co Captains. Just saying.

I have nothing specifically against co-captains geneally. But for Port Adelaide, that decision demonstrates the lack of respect for the Port Adelaide Football Club and it's traditions among people who run our club.

We already knew this because how they conduct themselves as custodians of the club, but that was a clearcut break of tradition that was unpopular with the supporters and we had a terrible season.

We just want them to act like Port Adelaide and instead we're being run by the Care Bears for whom winning premierships and honouring our traditions is 6th or 7th on the priority list behind "connection" and "waterskiing".

 

[John the Butcher]

This happy clapper found time to respond to multiple over a year old posts from a low quality Sack Hinkley twitter page saying there is no problem with the greyhound syndicate

 

[Duck Farmer]

Explain why co captains or single captain would have made any difference to donuts coaching. It hasnt hurt Brisbane.

He told everybody it would give us the best chance of winning.

Narrator: It didn't.

 

[El_Scorcho]

He's staying. They've already said he's contracted and he's having time off before returning for pre-season.

We've at least been told there will be a meeting on coaching, but everything else is up in the air.

 

[JimmyBC]

He's staying we are basically at the slit your wrists stage what a joke of a club.

HOW GOOD ARE THE CHIPS

Ohhhhhhhh have a look at them HAVE A LOOK AT THEM

 

[philreich]

It's Kane being Kane, provocative for the very sake of it. He is a scab on the game. Why anyone takes him seriously, I don't know.

And he's joining channel 7 next year. My volleyball team mates used to call me channel 7, because of my terrible network.

 

[TeeKray]

The lack of noise could be bad but it could also be good. Might it be that the decision has already been reached?

Believe me when I say that Chewy would have been made aware if a decision had been reached or even if a decision was imminent.

My concern is that as time passes and the emotion from another failed finals campaign fades, the easiest thing to do will be to do nothing and just zombie walk into next year.

I feel like our best hope is that the board agree on a compromise to make the succession plan official. If that happens then best case scenario Hinkley walks, worst case scenario he's still here next year but we at least have an end date.
