Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

I hate daylight savings. **** you, Hinkley!!!

 

[VineValerian]

I disagree that it's a majority now. It was probably a majority in 2020, but now people are just sick of him. I don't remember the last person I spoke about footy who still thought Hinkley was the right choice.

The Facebook happy clappers are the same small group who post every time defending Hinkley and on facebook, the club can hide negative comments down the bottom of a comments section.

It wasn't a couple of dozen supporters who's boos rang out across AO for Lovely Ken.
It was a truckload of them.

Bang on, and these are the supporters who went to that game in the first place and then hung around until the end.

People left in their thousands prior to that who i'm sure also would have engaged in some booing.

Now now, Chad Cornes lets he be he.

You’d expect that from a pity appointment

Membership numbers will tell the story then. If youre correct expect a huge nose dive.

Nice guys club

Ive come to realise all this sack hinkley thing, all this hope that things are going to change, is all generated right here on this forum. By a very small minority. Its not happening. I know lots of Port supporters that dont post here, who love Hinkley. thats the majority.

Yeah it's not

This might have been a theory you could put forward before Tredders won the vote but its clearly not true now.

Look at the response on any social media also.

Membership numbers are all nonsense now. You can buy a membership for a pet.

Also there are lots of people, myself included, desperate for change yet who still sign up because the club is far bigger than the current parasite custodians.

The only white powder Ken would snort is Equal sweetner.

And given his record, he'd stuff it up .

They've given several people on this board a "membership" and counted them in the numbers when that person specifically requested they didn't, or didn't respond to the club's offer of a free membership.

Membership numbers are a lie.

 

[PAFC66]

Membership numbers have always been a joke.
We have 70k members and sold out what maybe.. 1 season proper game that's not a showdown in 3 years?

I have 2 x platinum memberships and I’ve been to 1 game since walking out of the 2021 Prelim at 3QT.

From our group of up to 30 stretching back to the Choco Era at Football Park, there are roughly 5-6 left including myself, and they only go intermittently.

A far cry from the Primus days where we’d show up relentlessly to help keep the club afloat, and of course the early Hinkley Era (2013-18ish) when you’d only miss a game due to illness/work/unavoidable commitments.

The subsequent drop-off of 30-50 year old diehards is absolutely a thing.

Are you telling me A.Hitler isn't a fan of the adelaide crows?

Since quarter-time of the Kardinia Park win:

Port: 14.21 (105)
Cats: 31.26 (212)

Right Man Standing™

 

[TeeKray]

We're currently 10th in premiership betting for 2025 despite finishing 2nd in the H&A this year and finishing top 4 in 4 of the past 5 seasons. Speaks volumes about what the football world thinks of us - and yet these same people advocate us keeping Hinkley. Time for the club to make a decision on whether it wants to be a proper football club in the premiership business or a franchise existing to make up the numbers and add an extra game to the fixture.

Wait till Caro and Kane keep trotting the Fages comparison out all year…

Mind you I reckon Kane can see why he will cop so much heat next year, he knows enough about Port to realise Kens been here too long now.

Kane will suddenly say Ken should have gone all next year and will then be able to say,see I wanted him gone also,after 12 years of helping him keep his job

If there was going to be a sacking, Carr would have to be ready to take over and would have to be in the know behind the scenes, you would expect. So how ambitious is he?

I remember the silence from Choco when Cahill was heading into his meeting and he wasn't reappointed, but different circumstance as Cahill’s contract was expiring. However, you could assume that Choco was expecting it ... the board had not forgotten the Moylan spat, and some of the board didn't want Cahill to be the inaugural coach to begin with.

Would have been more than the 1 Premiership in the first 7 years if Cahill was still coach in my opinion

And that's why nothing changes, Kochi always talks about crowds and members as backing for his decisions

I think it's going to be one of those years where you are happy to see the young guys get better but overall, it is going to be tough watch and all you'll have is a bit of a laugh to enjoy yourself with. We should be pretty good but with no real possibility of triumph.

It will be interesting to see what Hinkley can foul up and still be left unaccounted for his actions.

No I hear he felt they were too evil for him.

I know but at the same time the girls are actually working their tails off and finally getting some results. I want to support them regardless of the rest of the club.

Im giving up my main membership for next year at least.

I don't think it's that high. Something could be taken out of that Tredrea v Abernathy vote.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Yeah there is no way that everyone wants him gone so passionately like those on here but Id say way higher than 50% would prefer a new coach next season. The vote was 50/50 a year ago and there's been a whole extra year of embarrassment and failure since.
