Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[gbear]

The worst thing about Kenny's presser is that he didn't in any way, shape or form look unhappy or hurt from the loss.

He looked like a guy who had been given the go ahead to buckle up for next year.

Port are simply an ATM for him.

 

[Us against the rest]

Sadly, I reckon the only way for change to happen is by infighting to erupt within the club. That Carr demands the job and his backers ark up. But the place is too nice for that.

If Carr had any Smarts he'd book a family flight to Perth and get away from this shit show, it's only going to reflect on him when he takes over.
The expectation of change from such an angry fan base will eat him alive.

Go Josh, get as far away from these idiots as you can.
Ken is only part of the problem, the people that have continually backed the potato in may still be there, Carr will have his work cut out.

Hinkley obviously watched an u12's game at some stage and thought hey if we just swarm the ball and kick long to big kid in the forward line that would work.

 

[AdamMarrett]

If this decision has already been made it was made in isolation by Koch and no one else. His top supporters within the Club even didn't know these comments were coming because no discussion on the coach was to take place during finals.

Hinkley's staying we all know it. Koch nailed his flag down last week and he won't listen to anyone else. We all know it, anything is just dashed hope. If he said what he said without the football department's blessing it shows exactly what Koch thinks.

 

[manureid]

Y'all remember when Richmond kept Hardwick?

 

[Eddie Woloschek]

How can any club listen to Hinkley and think to them selves this guy would be a great coach.

Dumb as a shit brick house.

Hint: One is a total buffoon, but the others are total morons.

 

[Willsy10]

Happy clappers everywhere these days.

How did it happen? How did we go from being ruthless proud club who demanded success to the piss weak franchise we are now?

Not sure where all these happy clappers you speak of are, not on here anyway, everyone on here has had a gut full.

So internally the club rate Carr very highly.....Hinkley has absolutely run his course and last night was just a disaster a kin to Geelong a couple weeks ago.

2qtrs out of something like 24 in finals, not taking responsibility in the press conferences afterwards, year 12.....

Huge supporter unrest, 50 gazillion million pieces, final year of his contract, how on earth the board don't tap Josh on the shoulder and say, you're up, or Josh throw himself in and say I'm up or I'm out.....

How can that not be the easiest most progressive solution to all of this?

Who effing cares what's good for Ken? Seriously why is it even a thought.....no other club in the land gets held to the standard of what's best for the coach!

They rate Carr so highly, yet obviously rate Ken higher.....in the face of abysmal performances like last night and a couple weeks ago???

Sure beats me.

Thirty-seven years ago, our club sacked our greatest legend, Russell Ebert. Today, this club can't even remove the pimple from its backside.

The dickheads I run into in RL.

Some I have been friends with for 10/15+ years.

Somehow I'm the crazy one but

I hope carr is sharpening his knife ready to stab Hinkley in the back.

 

[SSSSSS]

You all thought he was a hero when Sicily saved his job by hitting the post

Sicily hitting the post was an inside job.

 

[Us against the rest]

Most of us here have had concern's since 2017, we have been posting here, dropping memberships, not attending games, that is 7 years and nobody is listening or the problem would have been removed by now.
We are looked at as a bunch of keyboard warriors that hate Ken Hinkley.

Surely most of us here are exhausted coming to this thread to be ridiculed by the club, media and Happy Clappers.

There's no more that we can add to this thread, so if people at the club read these posts, they may need to take a trip to Spec Savers because 7 years is a long time.
If the penny hasn't dropped at the club yet there doesn't seem we have much hope.

 

[Port01]

Notwithstanding the mental demons that won’t ever go away without new leadership,

We haven’t scored more than 12 goals in a final since 2014, and we’ve only gotten to 12 once. That includes several different all Australians as forwards. Pure gameplay rubbish where scoring is hard, and there is no functional plan to score easily.

Clearly can’t motivate anyone unless it’s to save his own arse, is bigger than the club, and is just a classless individual who reflects poorly on the club.

we gave up this years first rounder for two b grade players who now can’t get a game in the positions they were recruited for. We know that was done to bolster Ken.

Stop looking after Ken, decide what’s best for the club and it’s supporters for once.

Hinkley obviously watched an u12's game at some stage and thought hey if we just swarm the ball and kick long to big kid in the forward line that would work.

Must have been aeons ago. I've seen better coaching at under 12s level much recently based on match ups and structure. The games moved on at under 12 level, Ken hasn't.

 

[Port01]

I hope carr is sharpening his knife ready to stab Hinkley in the back.

If carr can’t be ruthless enough to get that done, he probably isn’t the man for the task we have right now.

 

[Willsy10]

This is exactly the loss that decides Hinkley’s fate. A close hard fought loss where we gave it everything, I would’ve been content with Hinkley seeing out his contract but with the Carr succession formalised (if that’s the route we already appear to be on).

But another listless finals performance like last night has to be the final straw.

It’s time to finally end his reign. It’s time for action. Enough is enough.

 

[PA88]

How this dumb **** committee watched last night's game and thinks the next coach can’t be as good as Ken is a joke. His entire game plan was bombing it forward. Like, what tactically does Ken do that’s so impressive the next coach can't do?

No other coach can sideline bum pat as good as daddy

 

[PA88]

I hope carr is sharpening his knife ready to stab Hinkley in the back.

I don't like this kind of thing but that's where we're at though. Only way I reckon.

Club clearly doesn't care about accountability

 

[Portwon]

You always do what you always done you gonna get what you always got.

What does him coaching next year give us.

A sacking part way through because it gets really bad?. Another St Kilda "Streak". We make finals where twelve years shows he won't take us anywhere and Koch extends based on (who the **** knows).

He may be mother Teresa in a Port Jacket but sorry he can't get it done and somebody needs to carry the can

We exist to win premierships. No you ****ing don't.

 

[PowerBaz]

Divided, why? Surely it should be unanimously in favour of removing the longest serving coach in VFL/AFL history to have never made a grand final. Last night's coaching was a disgrace. No brainer I would've thought.

Stability and finances. That’s what’s holding us back, they are scared of change.

They have forgotten the members.

Exactly this
They're scared of taking a few short term steps backwards despite this being the best for us long-term. Its also inevitable.

The 2014 and 2020 teams that weren't good enough despite running the eventual premiers to 3 and 6 points in prelims. Absolute wank.

 

[Kenny_Powers]

I can already see which way this will all fall. There'll be "intense discussions" had, but ultimately the board will decide to remain with Ken into 2025 with one eye on Carr in 26 or some crap like that.

Round and round we go.

This whole organisation is so stale, no caution to the wind, no moves to change things up....we are a parody of Kens coaching as an organisation, just keep doing what we're doing but harder and hope for a better outcome.

This simple questions needs to be asked, do we think Ken can win a flag next year? If not, then why not move on? Josh or another coach fail to make finals in their first year.....that is absolutely fine, we will be on a new journey.

The whole club will be revitalised, I'm almost certain of that.
