Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[simba_]

Lighthouse End have a shower mate

So Ken is all over this morning's press telling the world that Chris Fagan is his inspiration. Ken is telling us that anything a 61 year old Coach can do a 57 year old can emulate.

Someone should tell Ken Hinkley that Port supporters do not have 100 years to wait.

is Donna gonna be there tonight

In cardboard form, she could be cardboard sticker woman.

"Sack Hinkley 13 - Let me have another crack at this" is perfect

Like the tv ad.

If you have a crack, we would like to see it.

Is someone bowling wrong 'uns from the lighthouse end?

Not going to go into a long winded dissertation on this issue, suffice to say IMO Williams was a shit coach who had a prime list to work with and continually failed, and has repeated the same failure wherever he has gone.

Hmmm.
built up the list from a disastrous place to win minor premierships and a flag the next 4 years.
Top notch coach IMHO.
Probably lost the plot in his final 2 years and finished.
Choco v Kern - chalk and cheese.

If Arteta starts talking like Hinkley then I'll go postal.

"We've got a long way to go before we are a club like Man City."
"The Champions League is scary"
"No one expected us to finish second last year"
"Give me one more crack. We have to keep turning up"
"I've got a great relationship with my old mate Pep"

We are still waiting for him to emulate Hardwick lol.

Yeah it's bad enough we have Hinkley, but the protection racket he has is just mind boggling.

It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen in 50 years of watching footy

It begs the question, is he the number one most hated coach in the history of the sport at the top level? I don’t mean overall when factoring in the fans that love him, I mean the coach who has had the most vitriol fired at him because he’s so hated by fans of his own club. There’s no way he’s not number one in that regard.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

is Donna gonna be there tonight

Hinkley is Donna. Donna is Hinkley.

 

[Thunderer]

Learning that Mark Williams "fluked" a Grand Final win was a moment of enlightenment.

 

[DaTBird187]

I’m of the opinion that she is actually a taxidermied greyhound and not a real person.

 

[Bay62]

Actually, Kenny’s right

You do have to keep turning up each year

But not with the same people every time! You change the players because the previous batch couldn’t quite get it done…there’s a clue in there Ken

I’m a Crows fan and always happy to see Port lose, but even I want him gone! The situation is beyond ridiculous. Koch using Hardwick at Richmond and Scott and Geelong as examples is misguided - try McRae and Mitchell instead

The simple fact that the supporters of 17 other clubs.. and ESPECIALLY yours mate - all rejoice at every extended contract we've given to this cretin should have been warning enough to our club... But no... the guys in charge are just completely tone-deaf....

I reckon the previous Raiders coach takes the cake. This guy had an entire main road electronic billboard sign saying he should be fired lol
If that happened with Ken he'd have a nervous breakdown.

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.

Nah ... That is pure crap! The early administration of the Power were tough Port people who were battling against the odds. Fighting the AFL inequality, the diabolical SANFL ownership that sucked us dry, and fought the fight to get us out from that yoke, to self-ownership and playing at Adelaide oval. The current problems set in after Koch arrived, along with Hinkley. We had the sugar-fix the first few years, then the cartel has just infected the place.

As for coaches, Williams was a great coach and will always be a Port legend. It was just that his time was up. We needed a fresh face, and he was jaded and needed a break. Re-signing him was a big mistake, and ended up being ugly. Your take on him is pathetic! To take to where we were so quickly after entering the comp, was a great great feat. To demean the premiership like you have is ridiculous! We beat every team in the comp, not just a "jaded" Lions.

Just a P!ss weak post!

Every time I check this thread (once a day or so) it has moved about 20 pages.

Can someone bring me up to speed?

He was sacked 26 pages ago, this is just the after party where we debate with Geelong fans as to whether he was better or worse than Choco Williams.
