Opinion Sack Hinkley 4 - Show Him The Door

[GremioPower]

If Hinkley did the same thing in US sport or European football, he'd be sacked before the morning.

Here, he would have given the post-match conference as former coach. Why wait until morning?

 

[torpGOD]

I just can't do another season under Hinkley.
3 prelims he's lost now, CRIKEY!

 

[afl2004]

Leppard doesn't change its spots

 

[It Just Is]

I would love to know what we were doing for the last 2 weeks

One for the ‘when he arrived’ cadre: Game 1 of the Hinkley era.

If you’d told me that rabble would beat us to a Grand Final I’d have stuffed my pockets with chum and jumped into Bass Strait.

If Melbourne win the GF, R1 2013 will reach the epic status of the 2014 EF in terms of the 'redemption' arc and the 'what happen power' arc.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

11 clubs have now made a grand final since Hinkley took over?

St Kilda
Gold Coast
Carlton
Brisbane
Essendon
Norf

Would you honestly bet money against any team in this list making one before us with Ken as head coach?

 

[Us against the rest]

Ah Kenny, you have to be some bodies bitch don't you.

 

[Us against the rest]

Unfortunately he’s here for not only next year, but probably until a few years after that.

WTF

 

[Us against the rest]

hinkley was rattled and upset by the questions in that presser even rucci was low key grilling him, kens got serious heat on him now

The only heat he's got is Koch's finger up his arse.

 

[Jojay]

Bring back Choco

This is the level of despair we're at.

 

[Us against the rest]

This is the level of despair we're at.

I would even consider Primus at this point, anything has to be better than a clueless cardboard cut out in the box.

 

[Winganeen]

Lets be honest, We were never winning the flag. "Ken Hinkley" and "Premiership coach" are words that will never exist in the same sentence......except the one i just typed.

Hinkley and Premierships don't go together, not as a player, not as a coach.

Someone wrote a great piece about him being a lovely bloke but a loser, it's true.

I've heard him describe football as the "most important of the least important things". I strongly doubt Foss, Jack and co ever espoused such theories.

This is Geelong circa 1989-94, good but not good enough.

 

[PAFC66]

Alright. I'm done vomiting up my beer.
That was fun.
Is ken gone ?

 

[Us against the rest]

There's not much more we can say, this club is on a downward spiral from here, with a 13 million debt to boot, well done those running this shit show.

 

[PAFC66]

Kochie ken richo ---> ****off

 

[PAFC Since 1870]

I sat there quite calmly tonight as the calamity unfolded in front of me. So yes, i'm used to it and have learned to process it in real time.

Same for me. I was into the game until they kicked probably their 4th goal then just sat staring blankly towards the field with no emotion.

 

[PAFC Since 1870]

I think the players like alot of supporters thought that we would just waltz through the game and beat the dogs and were already thinking about the gf. We as supporters are allowed to do that, players and coaches no. This is on hinkley it's his job to get the players minds right.
The fact that riley Bonner was our best player proves my point.
He was the one player I thought before the game that would get dropped for the gf if he had a poor one. The lad probably felt the same hence his performance. The rest of the playing group were already thinking ahead and probably started the game thinking gee I hope I don't get injured.
.

This 100% and for that he needs to go. That performance cannot be tolerated

 

[Us against the rest]

That would be the calmest i have been in a Port loss, deep down I just knew something like this would happen but not to this extent.

They sure wiped their arses on the creed this time. Mentally weak from the top down.

And they want to wear the bars, no ****ing way.

To a degree. As supporters, it is bad dudu to think too far ahead as well. The footy gods disapproved.

However from a planning sense, we the fans had no choice but to pre-book flights and accommodation way ahead of time to avoid getting ripped off by the airlines and hoteliers.

On another note, aren't Geelong the biggest trolls in the AFL. Defeating them with ease in the QF's gave us a false sense of security against actual finals contenders.

So you were like Ken in the box.

 

[Capital Power]

We hear a lot about how much the players love and play for Ken.

Now that's been proven to be bollocks, what next?

Drinking an Olympic pool size dose of our own bathwater.

Line in the sand?

Haven't heard that one for a while.

You need to separate the on field and off field the debt would be half if it wasn't for covid, nearly every club is in debt now and 2 or 3 carry larger debts than us st.kilda, Brisbane carry over 15mil each. The sh*t show is the continued trust our board has in ken surely after last night they can finally see what the rest of us have seen for a while now

 

[Black 18]

I would love to know what we were doing for the last 2 weeks

Connecting, getting haircuts, asking "R U OK", and telling every media person who speaks to any of us how we "dominated" the Bulldogs only 4 weeks ago
