Opinion Sack Hinkley 4 - Show Him The Door

[GremioPower]

People have a tendency to rubbish this idea, but it actually has merit. Where he goes, success tends to follow. He knows how to get through to players. He knows how to TEACH them.

To coach the Magpies, perhaps, then?

If Beveridge is such a great coach how come this is the first year he's won a final since 2016?

I just thought he completely out-coached Hinkley last night. He gave Hinkley a master class to be honest

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Koch gets blame and rightly so but KT got to fly the coop already, he's just as much to blame.

He should have sacked or not given Hinkley his other extensions. The recent extension happened after Thomas left. Richardson/Koch/Davies/rest of the board are all culpable.

Well, yeah, that's somewhat the point.

Not that too many of his tactics were unexpected.

I could not sleep last and now its close to 1am and I am still thinking about the disaster.

My big worry is Koch has committed to Hinkley in contract and in spirit. I think that is the core of our problem.

Hinkley is clearly not going to be a premiership coach. When a President commits to a coach eg McGuire and Buckley, the rest of us have absolutely no hope at all in changing anything.

If Voss leaves, we are stuffed completely.

Disappointing we haven't heard from koch, richo or CD yet, no statement/appology to fans nothing. I'm assuming they would of spent most of yesterday on zoom having a meeting so maybe we hear today.

I really want Ken to succeed. I hope he gets to taste success with us and we would all be very happy for him. He is not the best tactical coach but he seems to build good relationships with the players and really puts his heart into this. Fact is we had a pretty successful season with all injuries and covid restrictions. We made it to the last 4/18 sides. Did we improve from last year? No. Our senior players didn't improve but a few of our younger players seemed to have growth in their games. I think we will get another chance at success, i hope so

Actually no point in supporting this team while Hinkley is coach. Waste of time really. Love my club but I’m done. See yas all when we replace Hinkley, probably in another 10 freaking years.

Let's be realistic that's a fact, but he also won the 2016 Flag, and in 2021 has them in a Grand Final again. I'm not buying into that umpire bullshit that gets thrown around, the facts are he gets his team to the big dance, and has won one. Both against massive odds to be there in the first place.

Beveridge as a coach did that without the luxury of any home prelims, any week off during the finals campaigns until this week off for them.

Compared to Hinkley who has under achieved with a elite list over the best part of nearly a decade, has also had two home prelims in two years, in two covid affected seasons where we had the greatest advantage possible and we've achieved nothing, bar Saturday night had a loss that in my opinion is 5 times worse then the 2007 Grand Final.

So yeah I guess Beveridge isn't a elite coach..... it's bleeding obvious he is and probably the type of coach we need at Alberton.

 

[dirty2]

Only thing is, he only has 6 months of pay out

It's crazy that so many people need to be told about this.

 

[davesnothere]

Just have the feeling at some point today there's going to be a statement from the club that Ken " Has the full support of the board."

 

[tribey]

A club that’s serious sacks him at 9am, and puts in calls to Clarkson, Buckley, Lyon and Pyke thereafter.

Not the Lil-Olds though. No siree.

 

[Black 18]

Is anyone going to come forward and apologise for what went down Saturday night?

I sat through the whole game again yesterday (I needed to see if what I thought I had seen was real) and this is much more than a loss. The lack of any sort of effort from most I don't think I have ever seen before, the amount of guys that pulled out or took short steps I haven't seen in those number before, this needs to be spoken about.

Or are we just going to go with the "bulldogs were too good" and that's that? They were too good, no question at all. They were sharp, fast, hard at it and skillful. Now I hate losing at anytime but sometimes no matter how much you want it, or how hard you try or even how well you play the other side is better and I can deal with that. It happens. But I can't deal with what went down Saturday night.

The Club owes it to the supporters to address not so much the losing part but the complete lack of effort from many and the amount of scared, soft efforts that happened throughout. This wasn't a case of the better side winning, this has much more to it than just that.

 

[PowerBaz]

I don't care what people say about the 2016 flag being a rig job Bevo is an outstanding coach & sticks up for his players. I'd have him at Port in a heartbeat talk about motivation, prep & a very watchable game style.

But does he golf and soccer?

From the off they played like they were afraid of contact, and getting hurt, and thus missing out on the next game — which went a long way to Liberatore imposing his will immediately.

Just baffling. Absolutely baffling.

Choco’s Collingwood choke-DNA handing over to Hinkley’s Geelong choke-DNA.

Deplorable.

This attitude is what happens when vanilla infects the soul.

 

[PAFC66]

Koch is running his PAFC legacy which he would hate and if he realised he would make a change but unfortunately he is too arrogant and pigbheaded to even see the forest for the trees.

He genuinely thinks Ken is wonderful and that we are just white noise.

#sackken

That's what happens when you get a breakfast TV host to run a football club. The guy has no edge or a single hard bone in his body. It's ****ing cringeworthy really.

At least that usually means he’s getting sacked

 

[PAFC66]

If we don't sack him it's clear alot of people won't be renewing their memberships read the room Port Adelaide.

You say that but I can't believe we had 60k members this year. We have a lot of dumb fans.

 

[PAFC66]

Has he been sacked yet?

Have we heard anything from Koch or Richardson?

Weak pricks haven't even given us an apology let alone a plan for being better

#sackken

Don't bother.

There's no way they're sacking a guy after losing a prelim.

As much as we want then to , It never happens.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

There’s complete radio silence on all media formats too - any other club would be filling my Twitter feed with media personalities shitbagging the club for pissing away such an opportunity

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Please!!!!

"Has the full support of the board" = "Wish you luck in your future endeavours"

 

[PAFC66]

It's AFL rules.

Due to covid *

Covid could be the best thing for our club if this is the case. If we can't pay him out 6 months we are in more trouble that i thought.
