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

[Powerade 08]

We'll probably never know if those sources are feeding him truth or otherwise.

Well said.

It would not surprise me if Ken tells people this year is his last but when the club is doing well midseason and offer him an extension, he'll take the free money and keep sticking around.

Honest Ken? Never.

4k replies since Oct? You guys can't be accused of not being passionate.

This is the year though right? Even if he wins a premiership you reckon he'll call it?

He doesn't win premierships however if the unfathomable happened he & Koch would call us all bastards from the dais and ink a fresh 10 year extension.

I saw the man in the flesh today, made my blood boil. I ain’t in jail so I resisted my strong urges.

Well done gbear ! Proud of you. Must admit, I scan the local shops here at West Beach so he doesn't come upon me by surprise.

If he wins a premiership he'll die in the chair. Hopefully immediately, but probably when his in his mid 120s.

I'm definitely not guessing.

All I can add is that the term "disaster" is my own personal opinion based on the information I've been given rather than the opinions of the decision makers at the Club.

And the reason I can't add anything more is that if I was to divulge any more information, it could easily be traced back to where I got the information from.

It's a fairly safe bet that something will be rolled out prior to the season starting - I would personally expect something to be announced before the trial games start, though you can never be totally sure with this mob. But this has been in the works for a few months now. As for your assistants claim - Chad is out of contract at the end of the year and I'd be surprised if he was back next season. This would give at the very least, 2 new spots for assistants under Carr. That's of course assuming that he is the coach in 2026.



At this point, the amount of people who are aware of exactly what the Club's plans are regarding any announcement in the near future is minimal. Wouldn't surprise me if the amount of people who truly are aware of the situation can be counted on one hand, but definitely no more than two. So for obvious reasons, I have to be careful about what I say on here.

Obviously captain/coach arrangement to be announced soon.

Ok that's fair thanks for your honesty, let's hope it all works out in the end and we can enjoy watching our team in the future and Ken is no longer involved at the club

 

[Us against the rest]

Koch loves Ken so much he can't let go so Hinkley to coach the Magpies. He's always hated them because of their success and has reduced them to South Adelaide, so he may as well finish the job.

 

[Us against the rest]

If the club keep him on in any capacity it will never be any different, the selfish prick thinks he owns the club.

Jesus, did he land in NZ, get his passport stamped then come straight home? Can’t have been there for long, if he even went at all. Probably gets homesick for West Beach and Sky Racing after one night.

Was only there for a few days. Always the plan to be back for yesterday's main training session.

I’m sure the great man absorbed plenty in the short period he was over there.

 

[TazD]

Just catching up. Now I really want to lose to Richmond.

 

[JimmyBC]

I've had longer shits than Kenny's little trip to NZ he must've packed in a heap of learnerings.

This one’s from left field but I would ask Darren Cahill if he is interested in coaching and try and get him in the box. He coaches tennis but takes all his players to number 1. I’m sure he would pick up afl coaching in about 2 weeks. Just he got a feeling he could be a very good afl coach.

He gets his players to the top. He teaches his players to win when it matters the most. Can you imagine Darren Cahill saying Grand Slam finals are scary? Heads up. He's not a complete moron.

Lleyton as his assistant COME ON!!!

A great idea but there's too much red tape, Ken, Koch, Richo, that would be trying to improve so the club wouldn't entertain it.
