Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[Chewy316]

No way anything's happening
Something would have leaked by now
Even Chewy's gone silent

I'm not going to post in here if there is an emergency footy meeting, or an emergency board meeting or anything of equivalence.

No update to be had today though.

I get the feeling we are waddling into 2025 and the club believes nothing needs to be addressed or announced. Or if we ignore it doesn't exist type thing.


"Ho hum Ken's contracted for 1 more year got us to second nothing needs to be addressed." Next minute 2025 rolls around and we go again

I can think of 7312 reasons why something needs to be done - that's the number of days since Tredders and Choco held the premiership cup aloft. Everything since then has been varying degrees of failure.

Lot of people getting worked up over nothing. Wait for Dr Feels big update at 8pm

 

[Chewy316]

So you're saying there's such a meeting planned ?

What I'm saying is that Ken's position is still undecided but will be determined in the not too distant future.

On more important matters... Hope you're feeling much better Chewy

 

[PortPortPort]

I still have faith he's going, til the end the week.

Stand down you senile fool. The carry-on after the siren in the semi v Hawks just proves whatever plot you had is well and truly lost. Couldn't give a damn about how you are etc. Move on.

That incident - “areoplanegate” - caused us as much grief as the “bowgate”. The Vic media jumped on to it so the AFL had to deal with it, Cost us 20 grand. Tredder’s celebration was bog standard as far as goal celebrations go but KH’s carry on was completely out of place for an AFL coach aged in their late 50’s.
With the help of Vic media the bad vibes for our next game were set in place.
I hope Hinkley got a please explain memo from the board.
As far as I’m concerned it was a sacking moment

 

[gbear]

Don't we have a few nurses here? gbear?

Who can maybe... Torture some more info out of chewy?

I will leave him well alone and just remain patient.

 

[Chewy316]

Thanks, but no where near it at this stage. Was up until 4am last night in pain. Whatever this is absolutely sucks.

 

[Thunderer]

You still give us hope.

You are either a long time sufferer like the rest of us or a dastardly evil villain who enjoys seeing us wallowing in our pain (Dr Evil or Dick Dastardly come to mind) <=== said in jest .

Hope you get better.

 

[dirty2]

Put up the good fight chewy... We don't want you dying on us just yet!

*Hopefully it's not that serious

 

[Alberton Proud]

Echo the above 'get well' sentiment Chewy

You've been a beacon in a sea of darkness

 

[Lambot]

When we get to naming thread 13, my vote is for: "Sack Hinkley 13 - Who Poisoned Chewy?"

Flaming turd on Hinkleys doorstep. Need to 100% push this over so he leaves.

I volunteer to take the turd

 

[El_Scorcho]

I don't care if it's stage managed that we begged him to stay, as long as he's gone

 

[Poley]

Thanks, but no where near it at this stage. Was up until 4am last night in pain. Whatever this is absolutely sucks.

Hope it goes away a damn sight more quickly than Ken has Chewy

 

[Expat power]

Legit just leaving the heart specialist and some old boy notices my NFL Chiefs hat.

We get talking about QB's and I asked who he supported.

He said he doesn't really want to attach himself to anybody as he's done that with Port Adelaide his whole life.

I said "well hopefully we get some good news this week" he looks at me puzzled... I said "the coach going"

"Ooh I remember what it was like before he got here"

GTFO bloke... seriously.

I know I'm going to get slammed once again for this but in an exercise of objectivity...

I'm not at all surprised by this. I've sat at the footy with my head in my hands voicing a frustration at the way we lose and have had those around me say the same thing about the coach and what we were and where we are now. Need to remember this thread is a vacuum of the same people saying the same thing and not necessarily a representation of what the majority of members are thinking.

Go Chiefs.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

The issue is what now seems to be some mysterious period where we were no good for a couple of seasons, but had some excellent young draft picks coming through, has now turned into some dark ages type period where it lasted for a generation.

Give me a spell man.

Ah, so it was yesterday then . But, seriously, hope you are feeling better than last week

 

[StrappingTape]

It's a serious case of dealing with extreme indecision!

JUST KEEP SWIMMING

SEE YOU AT THE FOOTY

Yes, you will get slammed for this

This is mostly conditioning by the Korneses and Caros in the media to constantly remind us of a brief 2 year period and try to set that as a benchmark.

But regardless, the time scale is all off. You're attributing too much angst to a very brief period where we didn't even win a wooden spoon.



That tiny little red blip is the Primus era. Why are we benchmarking off of that and not all the premierships?

Primus was here for not quite 2 seasons at the nadir of a rebuild. He did the hard work of a full rebuild and like most coaches who do, he still cops grief for it.

Hinkley's been here for 12 years and it's been clear for at least 7 that he's not up to it. He just keeps coaching.
