Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[rainwizard39]

Just get it over with and get rid of him, they know he’ll fail again next year.

Yeah the lack of media speculation here concerns me.

We leak like a sieve usually.

If an announcement was gonna happen this week I'd be very surprised not to have to usual culprits in Caro/Kane etc getting updates a day or two beforehand.

All quiet on the Western Front is just the pathetic solution I've come to expect from this club.

Maybe there'll be a surprise retirement at the B&F. Yes I too am clutching at straws.

This is not sounding overly promising. Sounds like a strategy to minimise the Sack Hinkley signs around Adelaide & keep the supporter base as quiet as possible while they get the automatic renewal of memberships finished.

I think (and this is me guessing) that it might have something to do with Perryman. He is invested in Ken, and so until Perryman picks a team I can see Port holding off doing anything with Ken.

That's weird. Perryman need a daddy too? A huge no from me.

I think the predicament is something like this:

Koch & the majority of the board are too scared to sack him and Tredrea doesn’t quite have the numbers to force the issue.
That’s admitting they faqd up and I don’t believe they have the cahunas anyway.

Ken has a contract and even though he knows he’ll be under pressure from the onset next year, he probably knows he’s not getting a gig anywhere else and also he’s that emotionally attached to this group, he won’t know what to do with himself without them. (“My boys, good boys”)

He won’t be in a healthy space to coach at all. And I can’t believe our board is going to tick off this scenario if this is all allowed to roll onto next year.

To add another layer, we apparently have a coach in waiting who’s dealing with his own personal issues to the point he hasn’t put himself up for some jobs with big clubs and I’m concerned about whether he’ll be able to give his all to such a demanding role because of this.

Carr's family issues are not in any way going to affect his performance as head coach.

Everyone has "something" that they are dealing with personally. In his case, to best deal with it, his family is best to be located in Adelaide.

No news can often eventually result in good news, but I too am getting the vibe we are stuck with kern for at least another wasted season.

Koch will never have the cajones to pull the pin on him while he is contracted, he would melt like an ice cube on a bbq under the heat applied by the Vic-centric media for dissing their kenny!

Koch is another self-interested person with his desire to be on the Afl board. He will not rock the Afl boat. Ports success is way down his priority list, just like the Afl.

"It's been a tough year for him"

Poor Kenny!!!! If it's been so tough for him, why didn't he walk away during the year? The other difficult thing for him is that he's been living in abject poverty on a pitiful $900k a year.......

Ken is a brilliant salesman. And he has a strong record which he can point to of getting the best out of recruits who have come to Port during his tenure.

Ryder, Dixon, McKenzie, Matt White, Polec, Aliir etc all saw improvements in their play and consistent game time following their moves to Port.

Birthday dinner will be a fishermans basket 'n chips followed by a bowl of ice cream with ice magic topping.

Sounds alright to me !

 

[crafty_bernardo]

why isn't he sacked yet

 

[TazD]

Ken is the master. I wish I had his rat cunning and lack of conscience.

 

[Alberton Proud]

I feel like a chocolate billabong...

Sounds like you need more medical intervention than Chewy

The 'last missing piece'..... if that's a real thing then shut the doors.

I mean they have all won a flag right....

Ryder, Dixon, McKenzie, Matt White, Polec, Aliir.....

Ken is a snake oil salesman.

 

[dirty2]

It'd be so, so toxic. How does anyone celebrate a regular season win with Hinkley at the helm?

Like this ^^^

We need more of these, school holidays, get your kids some cardboard and paint.

I had to post this again.

Screw the Perryman... I'm gonna take the bridge.

Meanwhile, down at Albertron

If true about Perryman, this is just says our leadership is more cooked than is ever thought.
The guy has 12 years of evidence to go off. Not one game against Sydney last year, not tears after a 2 point win against St Kilda, not 1 winning QTR against the Hawks in this year's finals. Recruiting a HBF who's main benefit is that it softens the loss of Houston rather than making us better shouldn't be the deciding point on his future.
If Perryman looks at getting more money and a midfield role he supposedly wants under a premiership coach in the biggest team in the league and goes, yeah, nah but Ken is such a nice guy as his deciding factor, I mean wtf?
How many one last chances does a guy get when he's just not good enough??

 

[Thunderer]

If Hinkley does continue next year my fear is for the safety of the players. As Hinkley gets more desperate during the year he will push some layers beyond breaking point.

It happened this year with Butters. It happened with Aliir and Lachie. He constantly sends unready and injured players to save his skin. The more untenable it becomes, the more he'll pushing them with his ineffective game plan. How long before a player or players have long term injuries in trying to save their coach's career?

Please just tap him on the shoulder and thank him for his time.

Is that from the Chris de Burgh song?
