Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[Lighthouse End]

Rubbish! Just a dumb comment!

The pre-2012 issues we had have nothing to do with the current situation. They were settled with the AO move, the one-club initiative, and the removal of ownership from the sanfl.

Our current situation is leadership related ... other than that, the club is in a very good position.

Exactly. Leadership has always been the problem. Piss weak administration and diabolical coaching. All the problems being complained about here were all evident in the Williams years and a lot of the posters here suffer from short or selective memories it seems. Many were baying for Williams' blood towards the end but have now done some incredible 180 degree turn and view him as some kind of deity on the basis of the simple fact he finally fluked a premiership against a battered and sore opposition that had already bagged a threepeat and more than likely didnt have the hunger anyway. The arguments for getting rid of Hinkley are salient and valid but come on- at least have some objectivity. The main problem is that in the AFL world Port' s hisory and tradition count for nought in the eyes of the games custodians. They have constructed a homogenous competition full of franchises and dictate terms to keep it that way. They dont care about the diehard supporters.

Replacing Nathan Bassett with Tyson Goldsack on the eve of bringing in Esava ‘can he even defend?’ Ratugolea and Brandon ‘reverse Coleman’ Zerk-Thatcher was another interesting move.

Just wait till Hinkley realises Gary Rohan is out of contract.

Great news! Just received an email from the club saying if you renew your membership by October 31st they’ll send you a free packet of teal coloured “Shrivelled Nuts” flavoured m&ms.

Ok, we need more big dicked people to run the club... Would love to put my hand up... But it looks like I don't qualify.

At least Mrs. dirty2 appreciates that at Easter.

Smithers texted Dwayne just then on SEN, says Hinkley to announce leaving at tonight's BnF due to family issues.

I hope Smithers is correct.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Ken's speech at the BnF will be hilarious.

He will have gotten the message loud and clear about his lack of solutions other than "keep turning up" in his AA interview.

So now he is going to have to try and string enough sentences together to formulate some sort or coherent approach towards improvement. Will be like watching a car crash.

Do you have any audio of that?

I hope Smithers is correct.

Oh... Does that mean I have to watch the b and f?

Doesn't this guy continually make shit up?

 

[gbear]

Don't torture yourself. I won't be.

 

[dirty2]

I don't have enough wine at home to deal with this...

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Goes on 5aa being giddy to be here next year and then announcing he is leaving a day later?

Seems unlikely to me

I hope Smithers is correct.

Begs the question of why he’d go on radio 24 hours earlier with his big show of defiance then.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Interestingly timed membership survey. Somebody at the club is intentionally fostering anti-hinkley sentiment

 

[TazD]

Oh... Does that mean I have to watch the b and f?

Yes, and you should post a minute-by-minute summary here.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[gbear]

Yes, and you should post a minute-by-minute summary here.

So, thread 14 will be reached in a new record time then?

 

[dirty2]

Yes, and you should post a minute-by-minute summary here.

If I have to watch it... Im getting plastered...

Then I'll get into trouble... From Mrs dirty and the mods.. cos then I would say something really stupid.

 

[Rendaw]

Hinkley walking is because he knows how bad it will be next year if he stays

 

[dirty2]

can't see it happening. I want to hope/dream.

But it ain't happening.

 

[Fizzler]

Hinkley walking is because he knows how bad it will be next year if he stays

And wouldn’t you believe how excited I am about that. I’m gonna be rocking different signs related to wanting him gone for every game in Melbourne. 3 hour drive each way just to shit on Hinkley and I couldn’t be more excited.
What’s the bet the prick leaves mid year to just make next year a write off? Would be very on brand as opposed to leaving in the off-season for a full preseason under Carr.

 

[tribey]

Just wait till Hinkley realises Gary Rohan is out of contract.

Given they’re related, I’m guessing he’s already wearing a club polo and collecting a wage in some capacity.

Not unlikely. It seems like total BS.

Some people really do have short and selective memories...

Wasn't it like a week ago where you left us alone because you realised basically everyone in this thread wasn't buying what you were selling. Perhaps you can selectively remember that comparing a premiership coach with a guy who has never made a Grand Final isn't the most popular idea in this thread.

Please stop litigating this idea that the issues we have now have been present since the beginning of time, because they haven't, and you're either thick or disingenuous.

 

[Nelso]

It is disgusting. I have just been told that they "forgot" to remove me even after I had received email confirmation. This club is seriously run by clowns that try to boost memberships in any manner.

They did the same to me even though I told them in an email at the end of 2022 that I am never coming back until Hinkley, Koch and Richardson are all gone.

I know for a fact that morale is so low with the staff working at the club. That is why standards are slipping in regards to doing the simple things right.
