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

[Doctor Feel]

Pretty sure that most here have been pissed off that Hinkley never seems to entertain any Professional Development, but when he does it's outrage. And then outrage over a couple posters, who are hedging their bets a bit with their comments saying stuff that we already knew.

Its almost as if the ship sailed hey.

Almost like you should pick a time when the players aren't back at training in late January

It's co-headcoaches isn't it, giving us the best opportunity of winning!!

That thought crossed my mind. It might just be crazy enough to be true. Has it ever been done before?

We were dogshit in 2010, and despite all their injuries the game we lost to Richmond in 2019 was to the eventual premier in the middle of a dynasty.

If we don't roll Richmond by 10 goals in round 2 heads will roll especially if it is on the back of an expected loss to the Pies at the MCG in round 1.

I’m here for it.

Richmond are going to be really bad this year. Have we ever lost to a bottom 4 team at Adelaide Oval?

If chewy is correct and an annoucnment of a handover could happen in the next month all good. Even though i, like most would prefer a old fashioned blood sheding sacking of Ken.
What bothers me is chewy is saying could be a disaster coming surely that means ken is staying in some capacity wish chewy would come out and say what it is unless he is just guessing. Another thing, I want new assistants too working with Josh. Chad can go coaching somewhere else.

Port lose to Collingwood by 40-60 in the first game.

Richmond then lead at either 1/4 or 1/2 time of the following game, causing some squirming in seats and murmurs in the crowd. Port produce 10 minutes of great football to win comfortably by five goals, but it papers over cracks.

Put it in the book.

I think the only bottom 6(?) team we’ve ever lost to at AO is the Crows in one of those unloseable Showdowns.

It’ll happen one day.

Equal 15th counts as bottom 4 in my book.

You’re 100% right in that we’ve slammed him for not doing it in the past, and now we’re bemoaning the fact that he is. He can’t win in that regard.

But IMO, finally deciding to take a fact-finding mission overseas in the lead up to season 13, having mainly refused to do it in the past, is a completely futile enterprise given the guy will never change, and many believe he’s half way out the door already anyway. Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.

Additionally, if he was truly interested in exploring alternative avenues for the extra secret sauce to take Port from good to great, he could look much closer to home by being open-minded to the coaching insights of a perennial winner like Darren Cahill, or allowing his wayward kicking forwards to work on their craft with Warren Tredrea as has been requested, rather than scuttling it because of a petty grudge.

The guy’s insecurity, paranoia and small-mindedness is not only a handbrake to Port achieving true success, it somehow gets signed off on and endorsed by his employer. Staggering stuff.

Yeah he didn’t elaborate, which means he knows nothing.

not one person "bemoaned" Ken going to NZ, everyone laughed at it for how late and useless it is in the grand scheme of things. plus he isn't in NZ for anything to do with that - I don't know what he's doing but I know it's not to develop himself to be a better AFL coach when he's already on his way out.

These are just some of the reasons Bucks would do well at Port imo. He understands our expectations. That's if he were available and wanted to come to SA.

Aug 9th 2022.

When Koch sprouted his mouth off saying, we need to make changes to be able to climb back up to where we feel we rightfully should be. This was Nathan Buckley's response to Whateley.

That is a Port Adelaide mentality, it always has been. There is a reason why Port Adelaide have been so successful and that's because their expectations of success are very high.

Whateley responded to Bucks with - I don't quite understand Port Adelaide, I haven't lived in the town, You've had first hand knowledge of it.

Buckley responded with - No one at Port Adelaide or a supporter of or lover of the club would be happy with not playing finals this year.

He’s in NZ because Sack Hinkley sounds like Suck Hinkley

To be fair, Chewy is just telling what he is able to - without jeopardising his source(s).
We'll probably never know if those sources are feeding him truth or otherwise.
But I can understand why he's reluctant to disclose too much info from a third party, until it all comes out officially.

We don’t want those voices inside his head to get into trouble.

Round 6 against there old coach their best chance for a win I think. We will kick a cricket score against them even with Ken as coach
