Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[240volt]

If he did he would wear one of those dinner suit T Shirts

 

[GremioPower]

All this Hawthorn rubbish is distracting us from sacking Hinkley.

Indeed…

 

[PowerBaz]

Haha Hinkley told the club he wants to pay the fine. What a guy! He won't be going to Angle Park Thursday night now

Wednesday maybe....

 

[JimmyBC]

Now his job is safe he's likely to have us running out like it's a parents and children kick to kick in the parklands, we need something to piss him off so he doesn't revert to zombie mode.

Ken's only one **** up away from Ken...... it will happen.

 

[PAFC66]

I mean at least this shows Mitchell cares about a loss. Ken Hinkley smiles after a loss, and only cries when he wins to secure another day coaching at Port.

Nah he's unhinged.
Ken obviously cares somewhat about a loss or he wouldn't be acting like a fool when we win. Ken's always tried to please everyone that's his problem amongst many others.

 

[PAFC66]

Ken's like the CIA...have a look at what he's orchestrated.

He's managed to somehow get everyone on his side , including some of his haters ,play the victim and now earnt himself another year for his heroics

 

[PAFC66]

I’m not sure what I am missing here? Ken has a contract for 2025 already, so no one from the club should be publicly saying anything otherwise?

Exactly.
Personally I think Kochie will go a long with Ken

 

[PowerLil]

Ken's a showboater, be it tears, boundary antics, "I'm not a coward", the playing Rozee injured faux apology and the roaming Brian faux apology. The list goes on and on. He's a master.

Never me. Never.

• 12 years in
• 4 top-3 finishes in the past 5 seasons.
• record-breaking home-QF loss as $1.30 faves
• narrow home-SF win as $2.60 underdogs
• Stupidly long odds to go back-to-back over the coming fortnight

Coach has near universal approval rating due to dot point 4.

 

[Smartys Power]

The more I think about it, the more ridiculous I find the $20k fine.

These are all judged to receive the exact same punishment:

• Clarkson - homophobic slur
• McCartney - official bumping an opposition player
• Hinkley - “weeeeeeeee ”

 

[Coobk001]

We're starting 2025 with Ken, I'm certain of that. They aren't sacking a coach that got us to a prelim.

The sugar hit of winning the semi could quickly fade if we get smashed this week and achieve nothing again next year.

 

[Us against the rest]

It's amazing when you want something bad enough, how gullible you can become, even when your head says the opposite.

Hawthorn may have been the laughing stock last week but we will be the laughing stock for another year or more.

 

[GremioPower]

we need something to piss him off

My hope is on the fine.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Well we were 1 loss away from sacking him. And port decided to win.

Now we have to wait till next year, great

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Never me. Never.

Me too

 

[GremioPower]

But he's undone it by apologising rather than doing the "nah was nothing in it" which is the Go-To Good Boy's Club line

If there were any chance of avoiding a fine, the apology ended it.

There was no reason to do that whatsoever.

 

[MrMeaner]

I guess there is still a chance that West Coast saw last week as an audition. But I feel that even if they came coming, the Northern Beaches spiv has backed himself into a corner and will fight them for Ken.

That’s it pal, easy to get caught up in all the excitement.
Just ride the year out and then we have the what spud is going to Port month.

 

[Janey]

Chanel 9 reporting Hinkley will be coaching Port in 2025. Seriously why would Koch do anything before the Sydney final.

No Flag no me.

He's not doing anything. Ken has a contract for next year, so basically Koch is just confirming the current status.

 

[Chrizzt]

Noooo I hadn’t even realised this. Koch has come out in support of Ken due to one single quarter haha

 

[Ported]

God this Hinkley Ginnivan stuff is so boring. It was boring ten minutes after it happened

 

[Willsy10]

Time to move on to Sydney and not give this hawthorn crap another second of thought.

We’ve got a gf to make.

When your Chairman glosses over a straight sets exit by saying things like:

• ‘nobody had us finishing top-4!’

• ‘a club record 13 wins in-a-row! pause for expected applause’

• ‘we went out in straight sets in 2002 [sic] & 2003 [sic] and look what happened after that!’

Hinkley was safe after the Sydney game in all likelihood, regardless of any rumblings and slow-growing machinations behind the scenes.

And until our seasonal expectations are set in red ink, and not treated like a loose concept decided by outperforming what the nation’s doyens and scribes think of the talent and resources we have, that will never change, and Hinkley might as well be immortal.

We saw this in microcosm on the weekend:

• Georgiades
• Rioli
• DBJ
• Mead
• Ratugolea
• Marshall
• (JHF)

“Port have no forward line!”

• Dear
• Moore
• Ginnivan
• Watson
• Chol
• Breust
• (Sicily)

”Dhoarrr electric Hokball secks machien, pew-pew-pew!”

An honourable loss on Friday will once again be seen as a ‘successful year’ by just about everyone, when as this long-suffering community knows, it is yet another titanic failure when measured against the golden opportunity earned.
