Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[longdonkey]

He should be unceremoniously sacked. How dare he be allowed to walk away holding the emotional and moral high ground.

"Poor little Kenny Hinkley was done in by tham dastardly, ungrateful supporters. He saved the club, and this is what he gets in return. A pox on every Port supporters house!"

Unfortunately I think we'll all have to be content without an execution and just be happy he will go into exile.

Can't imagine any media wanting his gibberish.

What if it saves us half a million dollars?

Hey, sorry for the intrusion. Let's give the elephant in the room some peanuts - my team sucks. They are hopeless, and the only consistency about them is they always make the wrong decision at every level. So don't shout me down as having a crack at your team who consistently perform at a level I would only dream of. Shit, three weeks with one win, one thrashing, and one badly outclassed loss would be worthy of a lap of honour at Arden St.

But I'm interested in leadership and how organisations manage it, and I find Port Adelaide interesting. You seem caught between the perceived saviour of tarps at Football Park and 20-goal thrashings, and the guy who's ace at finishing H&A season in the top four without winning anything. The guy who's brilliant at building connections with his playing group without ever leading them to greatness. The guy who's a fantastic media performer, without ever connecting to the emotions of the supporter base.

Bottom line, I think your club is scared. Scared to make a genuinely tough decision. Playing and losing 'scary' finals is better than getting <20k crowds to meaningless games or losing multiple 60+ point games in a season. A guaranteed top 6 finish is better than a possible bottom 6 one. Ken is a willing prisoner to the 2011-12 seasons as he was the solutions to them. The Port board seem afraid to make a call that may revisit those days, but may open the door to better days.

Literally no coach has ever gone 12 consecutive seasons with as little success as Hinkley. Not saying that to be provocative, it's just a fact. Hafey, Kennedy, Barassi, Parkin, Blight and Pagan never had a 12 year stretch at the same club. Jeans didn't at Hawthorn but did at St.Kilda where he won a premiership. Malthouse didn't at West Coast, but got exactly 12 at Collingwood with a premiership. Hardwick had 14 years at Richmond but with 3 flags. A thirteenth season for Hinkley would be unprecedented.

Maybe the mature conversation is to allow Ken to explore the Eagles. Thank you, let's shake hands, you led us out of some dark days but we're happy those days are well gone. You can be better with a new challenge, but we back ourselves to be better with a new horizon. But maybe the problem is Ken doesn't want that and is happy being 5th every year. I suppose you guys have a tough decision.

OK. That's me for now. You don't have to ask me what you know is true. I'll retreat to my Jack Darling Fan Club and hope to maybe win 4 games next year.

The guy who's a fantastic media performer - surely you jest, he's barely literate. I've never seen a worse media performer ever in an Afl coach. He just dribbles absolute BS. I keep screenshots of his regular ramblings & its quite a collection. There's a reason he couldn't get a coaching job at any other Afl club that implemented a formal selection process. He had given up until Port came knocking.

Happy Birthday, Ken. Here's 900k not to work these next 12 months.

Better than anything my parents got me for my birthday...

That Morris report is so ‘poor Ken’ - I mean blah blah….. that is a good sign, a narrative if you will.

He'd buy the best pair of double plug thongs you ever saw, with diamond encrusted dragons on 'em.

Do you really, truly believe Ken Hinkley would walk away with anything short of a full years wages?

 

[VineValerian]

But Glenelg won.

Best eventuality out of a lose:lose scenario

 

[TazD]

What if the Big Chew Chews source is just a club-sanctioned prank?

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

I’m in. Barolo? Brunello? What’s he got?

Don’t know. We’ll find out in the morning. I do know we’ve got a couple bottles of limoncello and strega unless they've been sold.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I have been keeping a magnificent can of Diet Coke for a special occasion. If the Club and Ken part ways the ring pull is coming off!

Now we're talking.

 

[Chewy316]

Would be a very elaborate one then.

 

[Us against the rest]

Assuming Ken goes (hopefully) surely Kochie and several of his (Hinkley) backers on the board should go as well.

An broom needs to be swept at your club starting with the board/administration level

In an ideal world the Members/Grassroots supporters who bleed for the club and spend thousands to PAFC should have a significant say as to who runs your club.

I was there the night at Mooney Valley Racecourse in 2002 when the Carlton members rose up and voted John Elliott/Wes Lofts and their board of crooks/incompetents out of office

Granted things have not gotten that much better for Carlton since, but it's always been a firm passion of mine that the most important component of any footy club arr the supporters/members and they deserve to have their say as to how their club is operated and who runs it.

Many Victorian club supporters don't understand how the SANFL and AFL handicap both SA clubs as to who runs their club, in recent memory Hawthorn members voted to boot out Kennett and his board, and now they are annoyingly seemingly back in flag contention for a while.

One cockroach at a time, we will start with doughnuts and work our through the place.

It may be a dominoes situation hopefully.

I feel like Lalo in the car when Nacho goes back to get the drugs and the place is surrounded by cops.

I've just got no idea what is going to happen but its entertaining.

Does that mean poor chewy as well?

 

[Steve Dore]

Oh my god its happening, stay calm people

Also, I wonder at the chances of Ken taking the WCE job / potential Brisbane job

West Coast aren't even considering Hinkley.

Why would Brisbane sack a coach that has got them to consecutive Grand Finals to replace him with a loser who never won a PF despite four attempts?

 

[Eddie Woloschek]

This is something the Club are very well aware of, which is why the execution of such a decision is complex and requires a well thought out plan of attack.


Well, that's throwing cold water on the coup. How on earth can we expect our little club from Alberton to make a complex decision. Perhaps this is why he's been extended so many times: the dumbkofs can't find the pink slips.

 

[PAFC66]

He wont get a main gig anywhere else. Nobody is after him.

 

[Steve Dore]

I have to get my uncle to source me the best Italian red on the market through our suppliers

Don’t know. We’ll find out in the morning. I do know we’ve got a couple bottles of limoncello and strega unless they've been sold.

I suspect you don't work as a sommelier.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Sticker-man to reveal himself on the 30th of September by coming out of a cake with a 'you've been sacked sign KH'

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Tbf and I could be wrong, but he technically hasn’t been sacked, so that’s why he hasn’t been considered yet. I would be surprised if he’s a late include or that tells the other candidates to bugger off then roll the red carpet cos KING KENNY HEAR! Fücking idiots.

Interesting that Koutrikas rhymes with You Trick Us. Such views are merely a con, and are totally divorced from reality.

 

[dirty2]

Do we start taking bets on what day he is sacked?

Got to try and catch gbear

He is. He is never abrasive or antagonistic. He feeds out enough line without getting too tangled. You're correct - he dribbles BS but never too much to get called out on, and just enough to water the rocks. He's not a clean performer. But he's not hosting his own show. His country boy dumbness gets him tagged as matey and down to earth but sees his BS not get too aggressively analysed. He's as dumb as a fox.
