Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This (Stepping down end of 2025)

Ooof. This hit hard. Was my reality for several months until February this year. Horrendous experience.
I hear ya Bombers.
A lot hardery of an experience when the most important person in your life you thought can be trusted, was evidently the one that cheated.
 
My in laws have been separated but living together the last 7 years. So this scenario has very much been normalised in my family 😂
Same was true for my in-laws. Probably still is.
Thank goodness for the Baby Boomers Gen, when the only way to communicate was a Bean Can connected by string.
 
Honestly, it should’ve been done at the end of last season. Ken out, Carr in, pay him out what he is owed in his contract and move on. No different to what the Swans did.

But now we’ve committed to this succession plan across this season I don’t really understand the calls to pull the pin on it after one game. I’m not really sure what that achieves.

If the season slips away and finals are out of question, then absolutely it’s time for Ken to move on earlier as we will need to start preparing for 2026 but right now i think we need to let things play out for a bit longer.

I’m not a fan of throwing Josh Carr into the deep end as a knee jerk reaction, he will be coach soon enough, it’s better for the transition to happen at the end of the year and he can start 2026 with a clean slate.

Listen to this absolute horseshit.

You just got spanked by 15 goals in round 1 Travis. You and Hinkley can retire together to some country Victoria shithole today and you can absolutely love him there for the rest of your natural life.

I ****ing hate hearing about how much they love him as they shit the bed so badly in every big game that we have to call for a hard rubbish collection. **** off.

They talk like there a group of mates playing a 5 a side tournaments

My mum dies in under 5 weeks and that pies loss was one of the last port games she ever watches, win you fùcking rich ass holes
 
When Ken starts getting asked any hint of a tough question or has any heat on him it is when he normally responds by saying "I've been in the game a long time" Without actually addressing any issues and the journos not knowing how to respond eventually just move on without pressing further.
Tactic has worked beautifully for him. The obvious response to Ken saying I've been in the game a long time is 'YES TOO LONG'

In 2015 I said to a close relative of yours that Travis will never win a premiership at PA. He just didn't have what it takes. And here we are.
 
Honestly his abrasiveness in that presser is a trend as well, last year was a rollercoaster of emotions from him, argumentative, confrontational, tearing up, jubilant celebrations.

If that was an issue last year, and this is how he's handling the pressure after one game this year, how on earth did the powers that be think this would all go over swimmingly?

It simply cannot be helpful to the playing group, or players that we are looking to retain and convince to stay.

This is looking pretty incompetent all round.

Well done again Ports, bravo

The big problem is he's managed to convince the players, partly via the Melbourne press, that Port supporters are the enemy. He really has f**cked over our club for his own benefit.
 
You can clearly see in today's presser, and in all the recent snippets from players and the like over the last few years, that theyve really closed ranks internally.

They believe that they need to ignore anything from the outside, they believe that people on the outside know nothing and that we aren't brave enough say anything to their faces. Hinkley was clearly taking that approach today, basically baiting the journos to say stuff to his face as if he was beyond reproach and any criticism was actually insane.

Its just an absolutely ridiculous line of thinking. This fear of accepting and hearing external criticism, permeates through them like a cancer.

This obsession with being good humans first before athletes is just a weak excuse for failure. Of course it is true, but it comes about because they're too weak minded to fight for success, they all expect it just to come.


Honestly so over how soft our entire group is mentally, from leaders to players. We have a bunch of pretty boys in our squad and it drives me nuts.
That has never been more evident than the recent AGM. This club is a chance to implode. Supporters will be blamed because leadership will refuse to admit they got it so wrong. Keep turning the screws up. Unlike journalists we will not be silenced.
 
This is a great shout.

Koch remains a clueless bozo, Richardson is a lightweight, and Davies and Hinkley carry on like they’ve got 5 flags in their back pocket and how dare anyone question their greatness.

Rozee is the antithesis of a leader, let alone a Port player, and apart from JHF and maybe a few others, the rest of them behave and treat footy like an inconvenience that prevents them from being literally anywhere else.
JHF & Butters
 
Calling it now: Donuts will walk away at some point this year, and we'll be portrayed as the ungrateful, feral scum that drove the great Kenny Hinkley out of town, and the entire narrative will be "They're your problem now, Josh Carr. Good luck!"
As others have said let's turn it up a notch.
