Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[Janey]

The 2024 Goodbye (To Hinkley) New; Carr to coach in 2025 Discussion - Invented by Kevin Sheedy thread.

How about the 'Ken Who?' thread.

 

[Janey]

I like how the list will implode because Boak and Dixon are retiring. How will we ever cover for those two?

Not so much having a shot at those two, but one of the things that I will enjoy next season is getting to watch the young, new players start to get some games and see how they develop.

Is Hinkley in the exit meetings Chewy316

I want to know when is Hinkley's exit meeting

 

[Capital Power]

"Hinkley got Port to a prelim, how do you know Carr will get you that far next year?"

Umm i guess Carr has 12 years to make a GF if we want to make this a level playing field.

The Hinkley fan club is talking as if Carr has to be better than Hinkley immediately or else its a fail.

"getting port to a prelim" is ultimately still losing. So Carr (or anyone else) by definition couldn't do worse.

 

[Rexie J]

Do know much about Columbus? Seems a reasonably heavy hitter in the Oil and Gas space but I don't really know anything about him.

I know him reasonably well and you're correct as to his business capabilities. Originally from interstate and began following Port due to his son being a Port supporter.

Socially, a good bloke but he's not a natural footy person. That's about it really.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Ransom would likely be the type of board member that asks edgy questions, refers to irrelevant models to try and look innovative, and uses such a volume of consultancy terminology that everyone just switches off. I doubt she would ever make an informed decision on a matter other than which EAP we use.

Don't live Mondays, love Mondays.

There is a distinct possibility that Holly is more vain and superficial than Koch and that is saying something.

It's now Monday evening and no sacking.

I am disappointed

 

[tribey]

Does anyone else have a specific tenet of their preferred gameplan listed as an indelible feature of the club’s strategic direction?

Like, not an overarching unspoken philosophy such as “Pittsburgh Steelers = strong defensive foundations” or “Tottenham Hotspur = attractive attacking football”, but specifically “take the corridor” in print?



Entrusted largely to a 36 year old whose kicking has never been his 1-wood, and an injury-riddled utility who looked cooked for the better part of 18 months… in a Prelim.

Mmmm… more of everyone responsible for this, please!

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

I suspect Koch will be the final person to sign off on any decision made about Hinkley's future in the coming weeks. But to my knowledge this is a discussion being made by football people, and Koch isn't a football person.

And there is the problem. Koch, a man with shit footy knowledge signs off on the coach.

Nothing is going to be announced on Brownlow Night

Nothing is going to be announced on Brownlow Night

Can't see it being this week. If they're going to drop this it'll be after the GF

But he's born in Alberton

Good to see we fail 4 out of the 6 listed and I'm not sure how you'd judge Care and Connection.

Embrace Expectation - Definitely not and that starts right at the top, we are the complete opposite
Invite the Heat - See Embrace Expectation, we actively avoid the heat
Back eatch other In... - Sure until you lose to Brisbane and get booed then your footy dept takes a shit on the playing list as not good enough who then try and walk it back when all results magically fall our way and we end up 2nd but then pull it out again when we inevitably fail due to not embracing expecations and inviting the heat
Take the Corrider - we sorta do but does it matter if you are 84 points down?

I mean that image there is a blueprint as to why he needs to be sacked and a new coach and leader brought in.

Can Koch overrule the decision by the football committee even though he is in the minority?

I am fearful his ego will get in the way once again.

Worse than trade week.

 

[PAFC66]

Is this thread the most responded to thread on bigfooty ever?

 

[PAFC66]

Sack Hinkley 12 - this will surely be the last one just like 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 were

They'll become collectables

Coming weeks?

Make it during the half-time sprint.

Get Dixon to run it and then reveal an undershirt with Bye Ken on it when he finishes the race at 3 quarter time.

Same!

 

[Chewy316]

Well every Club's president would be the final signatory to getting something of this nature done. And the majority of the Club Presidents are not footy people. This isn't a problem with Port or Koch at all, it's just a procedural thing.

Can Koch overrule the decision by the football committee even though he is in the minority?

I am fearful his ego will get in the way once again.

I'm sure David could if he absolutely wanted to.
I also think he was going to go that route, he would have intervened privately already. To my knowledge, that hasn't happened, as the football grown ups are working through things in the coming days.

Coming weeks?

Hard to sack someone during grand final week to take the spotlight off the big game. AFL hates that. Most likely to occur Monday or Tuesday of next week if they end up sacking him imo.

Of course, I could be completely wrong on that and by Friday he's gone, I just doubt that will be the case.

Stupid Brownlow...

Need Chewy316 to jump up on stage push the dickhead doing the votes off the stage... Then tell stinkley he is fired!

The talk is getting louder about Hinkley "walking away". I think this is happening. The club is definitely preparing the ground for a soft landing for everyone involved. Not sure Hinkley deserves to be seen to go out on his terms. Deserves a very public sacking but oh well.

Very much my thoughts. I'll take whatever we can get at this point, but it won't half as satisfying.
