Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

The people in charge of the club know what they're doing. We just need to rally behind them, stick fat with Ken, and climb onboard for 2025. The wait will make it all taste sweeter.

The "Kenny loves us, we love Kenny" Father Figure angle has always felt uncomfortable to me. Even when Rosee and Butters said it, it felt unnatural. It's clearly been coached into them to say words to that effect and I maintain that it is such a weird thing to make the players say.
Its embarrassing to hear. They're adults. People just don't speak like that, particularly in elite sport. It's so weird & borderline cultish.

Oh we 100% won't make the GF.

But we'll make the finals and there's a pretty good chance we make the top 4 again.
I wouldn't be surprised if we slipped out of the 8 tbh, I am not even being pessimistic. I think the comp gets much harder next year. Suns are no longer a pushover, North may surprise with some upsets, Crows could bounce back and have had the wood over us recently and Melbourne who knows. Talent only gets you so far. We need a system, haven't had one in ages
 
What I'm saying is that Ken's position is still undecided but will be determined in the not too distant future.

Seriously how to can we be 10+ days from our season ending and be undecided. That's bullshit. Decision should have been made the Monday after the crap we serve up during finals, one way or another.

Agree with the fact that it’s the 3rd of October and influential people of our hierarchy are still undecided on a decision, is absolutely disgraceful but not surprising.

If they want to hide any speculation from the media about Ken's future until the players and coaches reviews are done so they can facilitate those things to be completed, I can completely understand that, and I’ll be patient, like I’ve been, but...

These tasks are done now; we are in full free agency and trade period mode. Honestly, there should be a deadline from the board in making a decision one way or another, instead of this nonsense waiting game crap.

It's incredibly frustrating. Surely we'd set a threshold of what Hinkley needed to do to remain employed prior to the finals.

It feels like if the decision is whether to extend Hinkley early and unnecessarily they're super trigger happy and if the decision is whether he should be sacked or not, they're asleep at the wheel.

If they'd dragged their feet like this with the 2023 extension he'd be gone by now. Instead we have to listen to deadshits telling us that Hinkley has a contract and we should honour it.
 
It's not even like, who else ya gonna get. The club has made it clear they want Carr to take over. He's sitting right there.

THE HINKLEYS MUST BE REMOVED

Yeah but can you give me an iron clad guarantee that Carr will win us a flag because if not we should just stick with a guy who definitely can't and will also embarrass us every September.
 
We will fail in 25 with the current coach. We may also fail with a new one. The main difference is that in the second scenario, fans, members and players are re-engaged.

Surely the additional membership/attendance/merch income dwarfs the cost of a payout, and you're going to make the change at the end of 25 anyway. Do it now, give us something to get excited about

There is no decision, he has a contract, that's why. They could have just not renewed his contract previously and still kept him, so they aren't going to part ways with a contracted Kenny unless he wants to go.

The players are engaged. Ken hasn’t lost the players hence why he’s still here.

Also it’s mostly members from generations past that dislike the club and Ken at the minute. Plenty like going to catch a FruChoc and watch the dating game, some probably prefer the colours to the Crows.

Ken would have been sacked by now IMO and clearly has zero intention of walking.

You’ll see him next giving his speech at the B&F then in March, bookmark it.

It just stinks like every other year.
