Unofficial Preview Sack Hinkley 2: Septic Portaloo

[Schulzenfest]

I wonder if the club realised the extent of the backlash they were going to get when they told Doogs to have a look around. Copping it from all corners in the media at the moment.

Fired yet?

I feel like we're past the point where they'd even notice it tbh.

They'd easily be able to put it down to supporters with too lofty expectations finding another excuse to be angry.

It's getting to the point where I honestly don't know how to get through to them. They've shown an active disdain for the supporter base. Do we hold a protest in the car park? Do we spend the first quarter of our 2020 home opener outside the ground as a protest?

The memberships and attendances are going to take a hit anyway, but there is still zero real accountability.

Even f***en Kane Cornes had a crack at the decision to let Howard seek a trade despite having spent the last 6 months enabling these proven failures time and time again.

They simply couldn't give a flying rat's toss bag about anything but their own egos.

C'mon mate. You're getting a scarf. What more can you really expect?

SACK HIM!

For me, the option not to renew in 2020 isn’t even a protest at this point. It’ll moreso be due to the fact I’m completely losing interest in the club and the sport. With my interest in Port Adelaide diminished my interest in the sport as a whole is barely to be seen. I just don’t see the point in coughing up $500 or $600 for a ticket I’ll only want to use sparingly.
Until this club is purged of all these losers like Hinkley, Thomas, Koch, Cornes etc I just don’t see any point.

 

[Capital]

We have a wombat as head coach

 

[gbear]

No coach would be better than Ken at this point.

 

[finbarr]

In past years having that membership ticket has given me a sense of ownership of the football club. I just don’t feel that sense of ownership anymore as the club has been overtaken by buffoons who couldn’t care less about me, you, any of us. Their actions tell us this.

As of right now I'm 100% the same. Never thought it'd get to this but my membership next year depends on my work/life balance
and I'm retired. I hate the fact that these pricks have wedged me n Ports.

 

[Steve Dore]

I had this discussion with someone yesterday morning. We would seriously be no worse off, and quite likely better off, without a head coach.

I can no longer see what of any value Hinkley, even at the top of his game, brings to the club.

It certainly isn't an effective game plan or a motivated and cohesive team. Bizarre selections, forcing talented players out of the club maybe?

Stone him!




Apologies to anyone whose religious or cultural sensibilities I may have inadvertently offended.

I know this is blasphemous, but I'm even starting to wonder if this club is Port.

We used to throw the term "Southern Power" or "Southern Sharks" around to denote the generic SA franchise #2 we might become if we didn't fight for the club and maintain a link to the past. It was meant as a warning about the lesser alternative.

Increasingly, I'm finding it hard to see any difference between what the club is now and what it might have been if it was a generic franchise. Most of the differences are purely cosmetic, like the skin of a dead animal draped over a wire frame animatronic.

I'm also not the only one that feels this way in my circle of friends. It's common place.

The saddest part is I just don't care enough to maintain any anger about it.

Should have done it on his birthday.

No that’s bad karma which will unbalance the universe which will lead to our kundalini energy being trapped only to violently exit from our anal chakra.....

Absolutely spot on as we are also hearing similar from friends and others who have been 'Port Adelaide' all their lives and know first hand what it means to "be Port Adelaide".

These are people like us of somewhat senior years who have decided to spend their money on things they enjoy.

We dropped our Black Diamond seats this year as it became a chore to travel and watch games but we did retain the lowest form of membership, simply because?

Not renewing for 2020 as Hinkley's insulting address at the B&F killed any remnants of caring.

Unfortunately it's got to the stage where members not renewing is the only thing that will get to them and effect real change. Playing to a half empty AO in our 150th will cripple Koch's ego, expose KT's ineffectiveness, confirm Hinkley's unpopularity in spades, and accelerate the exodus of sponsors to the point where the AFL will have to step in and start chopping heads.

Of course, the 150th annus horribilus will all be blamed on the ungrateful supporters. We're on a hiding to nothing.

 

[Us against the rest]

Keep the pressure on, they will eventually crack.

Sack Hinkley.

 

[finbarr]

2020 was supposed to be a year of great celebration.
Instead we will be going into the season as a club that has never been more divided. Well in, Keith, Ken, and Koch. Well in.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Are we keeping Voss on forever as well?

 

[MrPlow]

This is what happens when the club chooses to ignore the elephant in the room as opposed to addressing supporter unrest.

Rather than tackle our concerns head on and calm us, they’re letting it snowball out of control. Head in the sand type of stuff. It’s weak and pathetic.

Because of the above, any decision the club makes will be met with heavy scrutiny and outrage - regardless of whether it’s right or wrong.

It will get much uglier before it gets prettier.

 

[Power Girl]

No coach would be better than Ken at this point.

I read that incorrectly at first as though no coach would be better than Ken because he is at the top of his game but then i realised that you meant we could literally put a crudely made sock puppet in the coaches chair and it would still have more tactical nous than Ken.
