Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This

[TeeKray]

I don't know what people expect Josh to do, walk in to a meeting full of Hinkley lovers and give them an ultimatum or something? He would be well aware that Chris Davies and friends regard their football department as "elite" and that they don't see any pressing need for change. Yes he could've tried his luck with the Richmond job but he needs to play the game as much as anyone if he wants to be head coach at Port.

Hinkleys teams are normally out of the contest from about the 5 min mark of the 1st quarter.

The amount of finals that are over 5 mins in is unbelievable.

And yet here we are in 2025 and he’s still coaching.. disgusting

But he's a master motivator. The players will do anything for him. Remember.

Haven't been to training this preseason as yet but previous years have all been underwhelming. We simply don't train with enough intensity.

I'm a big believer in you play as you train. Agree, I'm generally underwhelmed by the lack of competitiveness & intensity but this seemed worse. Butters always trains hard but there are plenty of players just going through the motions. Whether Marshalls injury had an impact on training I'm unsure. I know they've only been back one week but training intensity would want to step up significantly over the next month.

Can we get a live digital filter on game coverage and pressers where it turns hinkley into a monkey like that robbie williams flop?

**** that would be amazing.

In hindsight, GWS lost to the two Grand Finalists by a combined margin of just 11 points.

GWS had enough talent to win that flag but their mental toughness is still not there. They should have won a flag under Cameron but he wasnt a good enough head coach imo. Whether Kingsley can improve their mentality while their list is still good enough will be an interesting watch.

It's been quoted multiple times already by Ken and players that one loss feels like they're at the bottom of the ladder.

It's why we're cooked in games that actually matter. Club cannot handle pressure and nothing is done except alienating the supporter base and calling them white noise

A question on what the club is doing to address the players mental fragility in finals was asked at the AGM. The response by Koch & Richo was shock followed by denial. There was an audible sigh from some in the room (think they were associated with the club). But it was clear Rozee was well aware of the members discontent with finals performances. Every AGM Koch demonstrates how little he understands about football (this year a repeat of his Sydney finals comment). I find it very frustrating.

Like I said the night we lost to Sydney. We won't see Ken until January... Not a whisper from the campaigner

didn't we tell Butters he trains too hard?

HE did yes.

While I certainly don't think Sydney are the oracle of everything given their recent GF humiliations (at least they make them), this is the intensity with which they came back from the Xmas break...

Any wonder they flicked us away with ease like a nuisance insect in the Prelim?

The pool noodles and the smiles and the hype bibs are how real clubs train.

I just hope he’s gone by the time GTA 6 releases.

GTA 5 came out in his first year, so him still being here when 6 comes out would never sit right with me.
