Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This

[Launchpad McQuack]

Any succession plan that happens at Port is happening because the administration are too cowardly to sack a the rotting corpse of coach who has been past his used by date for 7+ years now. The ONLY good thing about a succession plan is that we have a light at the end of the tunnel re Hinkley. The way our club is run absolutely stinks.

Yeah but he's only rotting not rotted.

I think Cahill to Choco was a successful and sensible succession plan. Cahill for a couple years to set things up and establish the culture, he was fantastic at making us immediately competitive and then from 1999 onwards i though Choco took the game plan to another level and yes we were at least one premiership short but from 1999-2007 we were a very good side. The whole club lost the plot after that but i guess the point i'm making is that we've had more success with succession plans than non succession plans (hinkley).

Succession plans have worked for Sydney. The Roos to Goodwin plan worked similar to Cahill to Choco. Malthouse to Buckley, and Clarkson to Mitchell worked out okay in the end but were poorly executed, most of that was due to the egos involved.

I don't understand why so many think that it won't work and we are better off getting someone else from outside.

I just want the BEST coach that suits our roster and can build back a WINNING culture to make Port Adelaide Great Again - MPAGA.

Apologies to Don "They're eating the dogs" and "We'll rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America" Trump.

Malthouse to Buckley was a failure of a succession plan. Collingwood didn't renew Malthouse's contract, so he told them to **** off and left.

Even worse for Clarkson to Mitchell. The Hawks literally paid Clarko to not coach for a year. And not be involved in the club at all. This might also might tie into why Hawthorn was able to improve so much last year. They finally had Clarkson off their soft cap and could get actual support for Mitchell.

The point is that it locks the muppets into a decision and stops them changing their mind when he wins 3 in a row.

Announcing a succession plan, ie that this is Hinkley's last season and Carr is taking over for 2026, won't lock Koch into anything. After we win 3 in a row he'll just say he looked at the new data and extend Hinkley's contract. If Koch hasn't the gonads to let Hinkley's contract run out he certainly hasn't got the gonads to announce that this is definitely Hinkley's last season prior to the season kicking off.

Not really. It destroyed Carlton.

Apparently not.
