Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This

[PortPortPort]

Richmond, after 3 premierships, are doing it again with 7 first round picks to set them up to contend for the flag again in a few years.

Meanwhile at Alberton ...

The club think they're in their own dynasty right now.

Funny, but so true.

So Tassie is getting licence #19

Can we create a new port Adelaide as the 20th team?

No Hinkley's, Koch's and no ****ing happy clappers.

Ruthless port people only.

No promotion for yes men/women.

Lots of young, inexperienced draft picks around them and severely lacking in senior talent.

More likely setting themselves up for a Gold Coast/GWS early years.

And just like that this bloke is out of the limelight ready to put his feet up till the new year.

But the board is split 50/50... Blah blah... Enjoy the draft

Ive said before the club/board is split on ken. Got some info last night suggesting its now 60/40 against Ken and gettting worse for him, now he has lost the support of more people including not suprising list management going by cripps coments.
He will survive and coach 2025 but that will be it for him. Koch is weak as water not havning the balls to turf him out now
they will have to learn the hard way cause if the club is like this its only a matter of time it effecting the playing group would not suprise if we are sitting 2 and 5 or similar early in the season because of it and ken leaves half way thru next season or slightly before.

If the board is 60/40 against him, why are they not just voting him out right now? They have the numbers.

It's just mind numbing. We're so slow to react in a cut throat sport. We are the antithesis of a ruthless club.

Black Diamond FC? I could get behind that.

With the bit of luck and some good trading they accomplished, this could be the draft that Richmond fans talk about for a long time.

I'm pretty excited to see what they do and I would've been inclined to get rid of Lynch as well.

 

[Steve Dore]

Still no sacking, WTF?!

There won't be a sacking. The best we can hope for is that his next contract extension is only for one season.

If it's 60/40 against, he should be turfed now.

It's just what they say when they are talking to people who don't like Hinkley.

When it comes to an actual vote...

Who isn’t?!

 

[Harlott]

So I’ve enjoyed the trade period.
What happens next?

Kane Cornes says that Ken Hinkley will need a Grand Final to get a contract extension (He will immediately abandon this when it becomes clear we won't be doing that, and blame the list)

Gerard Whately says that Port are in a mini rebuild with no expectation of performance and talks about how Ken Hinkley is the perfect man for the job, even discussing a contract extension so he can see through the rebuild.

Dom Cassisi is elected to the board at the AGM.

The membership department issue everyone who has ever held a Port membership before a free membership, this includes pets and the dead. We break our membership record. Koch claims victory.

We take a reach with pick 13 and a flanker with pick 29.

Ken Hinkley finally raises the roller shutters again 4 days prior to Round 1 and says that we've addressed last year's issues and we're ready to compete this year. Note that he doesn't specifically say we're ready to win the flag. He also says that he's been in footy a long time.
