Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[Acemanjam]

No decision has been made. That was reaffirmed to me tonight after the game.

If I hear anything over the weekend good or bad I'll post it in here.

I know this has no bearing on the decision, but if Ken is at the helm, then I wont be a member

 

[Chewy316]

They really need to be told to do their jobs here, it's an obvious decision. 2 winning quarters out of 12 in 3 finals, and if you go further back, we've won 3 quarters out of our last 24 in finals. 3 quarters in 6 games.

He can't escape because Sicily hit the post. This isn't good enough.

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

I don't expect them to be making such a decision tonight though - not in the heat of the emotion of a prelim loss.
Over the weekend I would be surprised if a few tough conversations aren't had.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I'm all for the memes and this thread is legendary and legacy.

But I do not like this thread at all. Every time I read this thread, it feels like I'm constantly re-engaging with trauma.

At this point, I am convinced that the only reason Ken would stay is because we cannot pay him out because I have no idea how you'd look at the facts/stats and that terrible performance and think "oh yeah, his 13th year will be his year"

That was as bad as the Geelong final for mine, not as bad on the scoreboard but never in it. How many times can you have your pants pulled down on the big stage beamed around the cosmos to all and sundry without consequences? ridiculous.

Our AFL history is littered with Preliminary blowouts. 2002, 2003, 2021 and 2024. Is it a culture thing that has lingered since our inception in 1997 and who instilled it?

They can 100% pay him out. They have even had discussions how they would structure a few things financially in the soft cap to limit the damage of a payout so that the new head coach would have all the necessary resources available to compete from day 1.

 

[Dont_be_a_Plonka]

Gotta hand in a bent peg folks.
I really thought he was taking you all the way this year.
Kinda glad he got so much out of your boys last week tbh as I'd hate to have lost to Sydney or Geelong.

I still think with a list tweak or two he will have you right thereabouts next season though.
Maybe bringing in Lukosius to support Dixon will be all it takes?

Ok then it's definitely not happening.

****ing good pull the trigger, end this sterile slop now for all our sakes

 

[JimmyBC]

He was as flat as buggery this week after his emotion drenched aeroplane antics last week, it's been mentioned in the media he can't keep a grounded level it swings from emotional embarrassing maniac to weekend at bernie's cadaver.

Dixon can go milk cows.

If this is the case, no administration would be able to find one good reason to keep him if they were driven to have success at the football club.

P.S Not questioning your source, I just can't seem to digest how stupid our administration is.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

How much evidence do they need? Its beyond absurd now...its just boring.

Yep, I just don't see how he could possibly survive any level of scrutiny after we've lost 21 of our last 24 finals quarters.

What are we even here for if someone with a record like that can keep his job?

 

[Eddie Woloschek]

The players must be freed. This Munchausen's by Proxy coaching method must end immediately. Sack Hinkley now.

Angry Kenny under pressure performs at his best. Then came Koch to wreck it all again by taking the pressure off Ken in another critical finals campaign.

Would the players reacted differently if Ken was still on the hook for his coaching career?

 

[gbear]

Surely he is gone by Monday. Head into trade week without the dud.

Hawthorn win kept his job.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Have a lot of questions to ask from the club on how they're okay with letting Ken go if another club offers. It's happened multiple times in Ken's career already.

If that's the case, that means that they knew he is somewhat the problem and likely not the best man for the job. Yet, why did they keep extending him?

They problem is that if your inside sources were competent people they would not have anything to do with the Port board.

They are incompetent so Hinkley will most probably stay

No other club wants Ken and its not happened multiple times.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I also watch several other sports.

I have never seen the head coach described as a 'father figure' or 'someone who is coaching the best he has ever coached'.

This is an almost 60 year old man and not a young and up and comer.

 

[RossFC]

The Hinkley to West Coast stuff is pure cope. Sorry guys.

 

[PAFC66]

Dixon can go milk cows.

Or Chad's titsss
Both of them can **** right off.

History meant to be broken that's Sydney did it today . How we can have different results when we are doing same old shit for last 12 years along Ken.
