Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[blackdiamond]

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.

Nah you’re all good Chewy, saw “weeks” and immediately thought at least 2 weeks away.

No doubt gbear will be right onto me once you confirm that it’s happening.

Rucci's Monday Review: The next step forward

Port Adelaide leaves the AFL finals stage with one nagging question - what will it take to advance from the preliminary finals? The answer is very much within ... and has been for a long time.

www.portadelaidefc.com.au

The "secret" to success is not beyond Port Adelaide's comprehension - it is the theme that took the club from suburbia to the national stage: Stability, unity, hard work.

The secret to success is stability, and by gum, haven't we had a lot of both.

 

[Kenny_Powers]

So just to summise Chewy, and I appreciate you're getting bombarded here, your source(s) has discussions regarding Hinkleys future happening now, and theres a pretty high chance this all ends?

I'd assume both parties would want the optics of a mutual parting of ways with Ken perhaps citing his fatigue and mental health and the club respecting that and wanting to move in a new direction. If that's the case, would it result in a full payout of his last year? Or would there be maybe a negotiated settlement?

More desperate than Stinkley to keep his job!

So Chewy316, if the board is divided, can you shed light on who's in which camp? Obviously Tredrea and Snowdon, the guys that actually understand the game of football ding ding ding are in the sack Hinkley camp, but I would be intrigued to know the loyalties of the others. Im sure the Bean Counter Oborne wants to keep him, Cardone probably does too because he's a Plant, but where are the others?

It's about 50/50

 

[philreich]

I can't really think of a situation in world sport previously where the coach and leader of a club/team has consistently ran with "don't blame me"

"I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong."

 

[bomberclifford]

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!

In that context, "Take the Corridor" sounds like a euphemism.

"Invite the Heat. Take the Corridor."
Oooh errr.

 

[philreich]

Told youse! As predictable as the sun setting in the west.

Look at the word hypocrite in the Oxford dictionary - there's a picture of Kane Cornes.

Sack Hinkley day. Can end up being a party day every year like independence day in America.

They could even make a movie one day... Instead of aliens attacking earth it could be the Hinkley family trying to destroy Alberton

Tredders can end up being the hero in the movie

There were discussions held over the weekend, and I'm led to believe those discussions will continue over the coming days.
The optics are a massive part of it all. Everyone deserves to enter and exit the Club with dignity.

As for the payout, I suspect Ken is going to want a full payout irrespective of how the "sacking" is framed. But I could be wrong. Wouldn't be surprised if the Club propose a payout of his final year to be paid over 3 years with increases each year to account for inflation. This would reduce the impact on the footy department expenditure.

It's about 50/50

Higher than that.

 

[Kenny_Powers]

I just knew Rooches article would all boil down to lack of list and getting behind Ken, "barbarians at the gates"

Not one mention of the tired and predictable game-plan.

He's a cancer to this joint.

How many more years should we "get behind Ken" Rooch?

2027? 2029? 2032?

In the next few days/weeks chewy will go down as a bf god.... Or the most evil villain ever.

*I prefer bf god

Robbie Gray probably thought the same thing. You only get a certain number of chances to reach a grand final - eventually the well becomes as dry as a Pommy's bath towel .

The trouble is they don't consistently turn up with effort! Why not?

lol. Will do if it happens on Thursday or Sunday otherwise I am teaching the rest of the week and need to model professional behaviour to my nursing students even under extenuating circumstances!

Me when he gets sacked

Me a few hours later

 

[Gryllis]

Surely Ken is keen to walk if he's in line for a full payout.

He gets paid and doesn't have to do anything, and gets to pretend to leave on his own terms. Chances are he gets a much more stressful sacking if he stays into next year, for the same pay.

Those who haven’t been here long don’t know that BD and I go back a couple of decades and went to the 04 GF together. Now we are just old

He is far too arrogant imo to walk.

Damn work getting in the way of me posting in the sack Hinkley thread.

Stability is a positive when you have something good happening.

There's nothing more stable than a 100% record of losing prelims

Put it this way, if for whatever reason they keep Ken, I'll be told the complete reason as opposed to the puff media lines that may be trotted out.

But yes I certainly don't want to be the villain at the end of all this.
