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

[Interstater]

Why am I getting a dual senior coaches vibe?

 

[Visenfest]

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

Hope you enjoyed the Sotos at least!

I can't think of anything much worse than Carr just being gifted the job and ken going out on his own accord.

At least it isn't Hinkley.

I would of liked us to try and get the best available if that was Carr that's fine but at least try

So, Ken has been in New Zealand going to school on the All Blacks. Maybe our secret weapon in 2025 is to have our players do a Hakka before every game?

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Australia has got a long way to go before it can be up there with countries like New Zealand.

The blokes gonna hang about this year like a particularly sulfury fart, having another "crack" whilst another generation of players get dragged into his inner circle daddy cult.

My only cope is that C4 is on the money and this is genuinely his last year.

What did we do as a club to deserve this?

Ollie Wines turned 30 in October.

And MF’ers are still like, ‘be patient!’…

‘Take the good with the bad!’…

‘It could be worse, you could follow the St Kilda Sadness?’…

What's worse, being St Kilda or becoming St Kilda?

Since Hinkley was appointed Ollie Wines has been drafted, made his debut, won a B&F, been an All Australian, become the club's first Brownlow medalist, captained the club, played 253 games and gone from having turned 18 on the day of Hinkley's appointment to being 30.

We still haven't played in a grand final (12 of the other 17 clubs have) and Hinkley is still here.

It's literal madness.

Wines is so vanilla and well paid he's fine with it.

He's been in the same low performance environment his entire adult life, he's like a career public servant that doesn't know any different.

I need therapy after reading this post !

He'd be truly awful in coaching roles down the track, he even talks like the loser coaching him.. team brownlows and winning seasons etc. ugh.

Our own Curse of the Bambino.
We dared to even think we should part with him 7 years ago, and a hex was put on us.

Cahill is finishing coaching Sinner at the end of this season.

First call Carr should be making is to get Cahill into into the coaching box in some capacity. Even have him sitting on the bench talking to the players as they come off the ground. The guy knows how to motivate people.

 

[Schulzenfest]

If we don't roll Richmond by 10 goals in round 2 heads will roll

Yes, if Ken Hinkley ever suffered an embarrassing loss that would be sure to be the last straw for his coaching career

And if we did lose, Wilsey would handwave it away as an anomaly.

Killer would be worth a try but there are a few obstacles in the way.

Koch, Richardson, Davies, Hinkley?

 

[JimmyBC]

How fukcin battered are we by this guy's tenure that some of you want a tennis coach lol

 

[Papa G]

Cahill would be an ideal replacement for Davies.

'A tennis coach' that has decades of experience coaching ultra professional and highly successful athletes that make our players look like the park footballers they are. Also the son of a Hall of Fame Port Adelaide coach who would know the game and most importantly the club and what it stands for. If some dumbass ex footballer like Simon Goodwin can coach a premiership then there's absolutely no reason whatsoever why Darren Cahill couldn't.

He'd be useless as an AFL head coach, motivational & mentor roles sure aside from that it'd be like appointing a random from the crowd.

There is literally no solution to the Koch & Hinkleyfication of the culture of this club beyond nuking it to its foundations in one fell swoop.

A perfect amalgam of prime Fos Williams, Sir Alex Ferguson, Phil Jackson and Bill Belichick would be battling to unwind the current top-to-bottom acceptance of merely showing up and collecting a paycheque, just to exceed mainstream expectations that are only so low to begin with precisely because of the litany of prior disasters that strongly suggest the act of breaking through to make and win Grand Finals is now a congenital impossibility for the Port Adelaide Football Club.

Imagine Darren Cahill returning and truthbombing Travis Boak with the reality that he’s effectively wasted his playing career — and then holding him up as a cautionary tale to the likes of Connor Rozee, Zak Butters and Jack Lukosius, let alone Jason Horne-Francis and Joe Berry.

The comfy East German-style regime down there would implode, with Killer — his nickname is literally Killer lol — unlikely to still be there by close of business that day.

This is currently a club which revealed their immediate response to the Qualifying Final disaster was not a 4am waddle in the ocean, or a ‘bring your mouthguard’ training session, but to catch up for an ‘R U OK?’ coddlethon.
