Hartlett sacked before Kern.. or is that Kern sacks Harlett

Power axes Hartlett after finals loss - InDaily
Port Adelaide stalwart Hamish Hartlett says there's no "bad blood" with the AFL club after being told he will be delisted.

Yes. And the players hear that...believe that. I know John Cahill's time has passed but he had the playing group believing they could do anything.
I don't think that is too dissimilar to successful AFL coaches. Hardwick, Clarkson. Hard edge guys who aren't best buddies with the players but get the absolute best out of their teams.
It's pointless playing hypotheticals, but what if we'd had a different bloke coaching since 2018. I reckon Ken's impact peaked in 2014. 2017 Elimination final performance should have told the club all they needed to know.
And yet here we are, 4 seasons further down the line, playing resources that should have delivered success but with nothing to show for it.
It will be harder again next year with Melbourne and Bulldogs already in front and likely to get better, a year also likely to be less covid affected so less likely to get the leg up of away games to no crowds or hub affected opponents.
Koch set the pathetically low target of having a 10 year coach...which is pretty easy if you extend without conditions and/or prematurely.
10 year coaching tenures usually only happen conditionally on success which is what the agreement should have been.
Flags = tenure
Failure = GTFO

In the club's eyes "true believer" equates to accepting everything the club tells you without question.
True believers, come on down to Hinkleytown and try the Kool-Aid

Ah censorship. We've become the Adelaide Crows.
Pro-tip: don't drink the Coke Zero.
He should redo that calculation with premierships instead and then make the case for Hinkley.
If that's too hard, he could maybe do it with grand final appearances.
If in the next two years if there is no flag, the admin need to admit Ken has been a failure at winning a flag…. Not trotting out great record and all that, but simply as a premiership win big coach, FAIL.
They can at least admit that can’t they, own something?

Funny you say that, I've been thinking something similar listening to Ken yesterday and being a City supporter reminded of Pep in the Amazon documentary they did where Pep said to the players in the dressing room he'd always defend them in public, and take the criticism of defeat himself, but it's different behind closed doors.
Different sport I know but that's the difference between serial winners in Pep, Tuchel, Klopp and that ilk, compared to perennial bridesmaids in Hinkley. They'd never throw the players under the bus to escape scrutiny, the whole thing doesn't work or end in results if a coach/manager does that, meanwhile Ken has done that since the loss.
He's always been a glory hog while shirking accountability.
What we're seeing now is just "look after my man while I go chase 3 Brownlow votes" writ large.

No. They will trot out the great record and all of that.
To come out after a result like that and say that there is nothing you could have done differently is unforgivable. Not taking responsibility and, instead, throwing the players under the bus just puts a cherry on top. That kind of public, unearned arrogance is something that is toxic. That he gets away with it with apparent impunity shows where the club, its Presidential spiv, its Board and its CEO are at.
I also wonder how many of the 62,000 members Ken has met. I know a few of them off here who would be willing to tell him where to go.

Bevo came with a plan to stop us. Aliir blanketed/blocked out of aerial contests, Amon not allowed too much time and room to deliver and probably
other things too subtle for me. Old mate takes ages to react if indeed he reacted at all. Ken's on record somewhere saying as coach come
ball up his job is basically done hence he's very rarely seen actually coaching in the box. Even more galling than starting Drew on the bench
was allowing them an extra at stoppages an area they've regularly towelled us up and is one of Bevo's signature MO's.
Then we get served up the infamous post game presser sans explanation for the faithful. Come days later he's worked on being the victim but still
doesn't/can't explain the result which leaves the great unwashed to not only calm down but sup it up.
Seez ya at the footy coz next year's gunna be the year, like all those other years hey.

Today on SEN's Crunch time they talked about Cook being appointed Carlton CEO. Whateley talked about him being involved in the coach selection, but he doesn't officially start as CEO until mid October.
He said that after Mark Thompson left at end of 2010 season, (when he appeared to go a bit loopy), Cook and Neil Balme sat down and documented their formula to select a coach, developed the criteria and a weighting for each one.
Hinkley would have been assessed by these criteria when he missed out to Scott.
Leadership and Culture Development ..... 25%
Personal Qualities ................................ 15%
Management Ability ............................. 15%
Technical Ability .................................. 20%
Coaching History ................................. 10%
Ability to Communicate ........................ 10%
Commercial Appeal such as brand focus ... 5%
and ability to relate to members.
I wonder what Hinkley scored back in 2010, what Cook would give him now, and what mark Port would give him, or different people at Port ie Koch, Cahill, Richo, CD etc.
Listen between 12.30 and 14.40 for the discussion. Would be a bit bizarre if Cook had no input, as it would be if he had the dominate input and he is still technically the CEO of Geelong before a final decision is made.

True Believers has become a catch cry akin to something out of Pyongyang.
because of bad luck with C0ke Zero..Ken will be swapping the sugarless drink with
hinkley is an absolute non entity of a coach.
in layman terms he has no idea and opposition coaches pick this guy apart like a pizza when they do there is nothing left.
i cant see things changing these guys are driving this club into a brick wall.
The day I wake up to hear that Hinkley has been sacked will be my Grand Final.
Choco got ripped apart when we choked in 02 and 03.
The protection on Ken by the media is insane
