Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[Bump Bailey]

Smithers texted Dwayne just then on SEN, says Hinkley to announce leaving at tonight's BnF due to family issues.

I hope Smithers is correct.

Begs the question of why he’d go on radio 24 hours earlier with his big show of defiance then.

Interestingly timed membership survey. Somebody at the club is intentionally fostering anti-hinkley sentiment

 

[TazD]

Oh... Does that mean I have to watch the b and f?

Yes, and you should post a minute-by-minute summary here.

 

[gbear]

Goes on 5aa being giddy to be here next year and then announcing he is leaving a day later?

Seems unlikely to me

My thoughts exactly.

 

[gbear]

Yes, and you should post a minute-by-minute summary here.

So, thread 14 will be reached in a new record time then?

 

[dirty2]

Yes, and you should post a minute-by-minute summary here.

If I have to watch it... Im getting plastered...

Then I'll get into trouble... From Mrs dirty and the mods.. cos then I would say something really stupid.

 

[Rendaw]

Hinkley walking is because he knows how bad it will be next year if he stays

 

[dirty2]

can't see it happening. I want to hope/dream.

But it ain't happening.

And wouldn’t you believe how excited I am about that. I’m gonna be rocking different signs related to wanting him gone for every game in Melbourne. 3 hour drive each way just to shit on Hinkley and I couldn’t be more excited.
What’s the bet the prick leaves mid year to just make next year a write off? Would be very on brand as opposed to leaving in the off-season for a full preseason under Carr.

 

[tribey]

Just wait till Hinkley realises Gary Rohan is out of contract.

Given they’re related, I’m guessing he’s already wearing a club polo and collecting a wage in some capacity.

Not unlikely. It seems like total BS.

Exactly. Leadership has always been the problem. Piss weak administration and diabolical coaching. All the problems being complained about here were all evident in the Williams years and a lot of the posters here suffer from short or selective memories it seems. Many were baying for Williams' blood towards the end but have now done some incredible 180 degree turn and view him as some kind of deity on the basis of the simple fact he finally fluked a premiership against a battered and sore opposition that had already bagged a threepeat and more than likely didnt have the hunger anyway. The arguments for getting rid of Hinkley are salient and valid but come on- at least have some objectivity. The main problem is that in the AFL world Port' s hisory and tradition count for nought in the eyes of the games custodians. They have constructed a homogenous competition full of franchises and dictate terms to keep it that way. They dont care about the diehard supporters.

Some people really do have short and selective memories...

Wasn't it like a week ago where you left us alone because you realised basically everyone in this thread wasn't buying what you were selling. Perhaps you can selectively remember that comparing a premiership coach with a guy who has never made a Grand Final isn't the most popular idea in this thread.

Please stop litigating this idea that the issues we have now have been present since the beginning of time, because they haven't, and you're either thick or disingenuous.

 

[Nelso]

It is disgusting. I have just been told that they "forgot" to remove me even after I had received email confirmation. This club is seriously run by clowns that try to boost memberships in any manner.

They did the same to me even though I told them in an email at the end of 2022 that I am never coming back until Hinkley, Koch and Richardson are all gone.

I know for a fact that morale is so low with the staff working at the club. That is why standards are slipping in regards to doing the simple things right.

I hope Smithers is correct.

that's the guy who was saying Horse to Brisbane and Fagan stepping down after GF right? and people here were saying he's 100% accurate and everything he says happens?

he is not going to announce he is stepping down a day after saying he's staying on radio

 

[dirty2]

Given they’re related, I’m guessing he’s already wearing a club polo and collecting a wage in some capacity.

I'm sure they can find him a job for him somewhere... Jordan probably needs an assistant.

 

[dirty2]

Sack Hinkley/Hinkley walks at this point I don't care as long as he ****s off.

 

[philreich]

gBear - 462 do you ever sleep?

We should nickname her "Citibank" - "The Citi never sleeps!"

 

[Gryllis]

As much as I'd like to believe a Simpson's character's tip to AM radio, only yesterday Ken said "I ain't leaving, youse ain't make me, gonna have another crack at the $800,000," or something to that effect.

He's not walking a day later.

 

[fergulator72]

Not without a golden handshake

He doesn't want a golden handshake,he's entitled to what's owed anyway,he wants to coach until he gets a Premiership hahaha which is never

Well he's more then welcome to go back to bell park or Campbeltown or wherever he came from.

 

[VineValerian]

There was an ok amount of references to the admin and team performance in there are least. Not heaps but at least the whole thing wasn't "how much do you heart emoji Coles grocery dash see you at the footy"?

I used the any other comments box to let fly knowing full well (and I acknowledged this in there) that this is just going back to some poor membership staff and probably won't go anywhere. But it made me feel temporarily better at least.



Anyway Sack Hinkley

Yes. I too typed a 300 or so word rant in the "other comments" box regarding sub par on-field performance, lack of courage by a risk averse board, etc.
Probably gets the "Delete" button applied, but what the heck!
I FEEL GOOD!

 

[bomberclifford]

The one that always gets me is the ‘on a scale of 1-7 are these club sponsors a good brand fit?’ section.

A university, tyres, a car manufacturer and an insurance company.

Is their money good? Yes? Who cares?

I got the sense that particular question was about gauging the feelings around GFG.

If the Board were genuinely undecided about Hinkley's future and wanted to frame his exist as a mutual decision and Ken walking, maybe him going on the radio with the "I deserve another go" could be perceived as him trying to bully the Board into allowing him to stay....

I personally think it's total BS, but we can hope at least.

 

[fergulator72]

If he's gone I'd expect the club to be very tight lipped until everyone has been told and any contractual obligations sorted.

Hearing nothing right now is probably a good thing.

If the footy committee has decided he is staying I'm sure that will leak out sooner rather than later.

He's contracted and they already said he's coaching next year,why would they come out and say anything else

It was the tail end of Fos Williams coaching career that won premierships in 1951, 1954-58 (Geof Motley in 59), 1962-3, 1965 then the rise of Sturt 1966-70 and North's brief ascension 1971-2.

Geof Motley had a brief run 1959-61, but after winning the flag in 1959, minor premiership in 1960-61 but exiting finals in straight sets, Bob McLean removed him as coach and brought Fos back.,

John Cahill took over in 1974, won the flag in 1977, then away we went again.

And John nearly lost his job before '77 - Anyone old enough to remember the "Let's Back Jack" car stickers?
