Opinion Sack Hinkley 4 - Show Him The Door

[PowerBaz]

Twenty days.
Twenty.

One thing that first quote tells you, they all thought they would win it.
From Coach down to boot studder, they thought it would just happen.

Ken is Gordon. Apt movie title.

At the end when Gordon is talking to the cop after being pulled over, that's Ken doing the sell.

'I tell ya what i'll do boyz'.......

 

[Contested Marx]

Ken is more like Fargo's Jerry Lundegard as far as competent salesman go

And for 7 years at least we've been slurping down the TRU-Coat while dead bodies are stacking up around Brainard and the Twin Cities

It will be too bad when all that remains of Kochie is a neat pile of red snow and an ankle

 

[Hammer#8]

I only just had the stomach to re-watch the PF highlights.

We're getting flogged in the first quarter and Ken is in the box literally watching the game with zero interest or concern. You could swear it was like they were watching a pre-season trial match

Meanwhile Beveridge is on the phone talking to players and working overtime to maintain the lead.

WTAF is going on at our club?

I can laugh with Gordon Farkus. I cant laugh with our used car salesman.

Koch is more naive than Danny Clark.

Koch is more nieve than Danny Clarke.

Most people have probably never seen it, absolute classic movie.

It would be in my top 5 Oz movies. There is a Geelong supporter who calls himself Gordon Farkus, has his picture in his avatar and I cant help but read his posts like Gordon would say it.

Ken Hinkley (10/09/21): "I said 10 or 12 weeks ago: wait until the end of the year. Wait and judge us when we can get all our people that we need on the team playing well together, give us some continuity back together and we can play at a high level.”

Ken Hinkley (30/09/21): “I will say this, don’t judge us by one game, judge us by the collective.”

Name another coach who would get away with this level of contradictory messaging on either side of losing a home Prelim by 71 points as 1.40 favourites — either externally (media tearing him limb from limb) or internally (the board and admin shifting uneasily in their seats while coterie groups and prominent members scrambled to form tickets, and the rank’n’file grabbed their torches and pitchforks)?

This is genuinely insane.

I ignore what gets quoted and his one off lines, this board who has members who read a quote and then play it back for years, like it was a defining moment. Rucci like. It is a good way of giving their opinion I guess, I find it misses the forest from the trees. Hinkley is just making it up as he goes.

I agree that Hinkley is totally mediocre. It is not what he says, it is what he does not do. He is lazy, defensive and he is a bottom quartile leader/coach in the league and that is all based on fact- his track record. His body of work is now very complete and the “conflicting quotes” are a symptom of a below average coach.

We have no hope with him in charge. The track record is what it is and we keep doing the same thing, thinking the outcome will change. Insanity!

As long as ppl renew their membership, then there’s not much that’ll happen.

Once the PAFC used to talk with it's football, now all it does is talk.

But we're just a poor little battler club from Alberton

I may just use this winning argument on Bay 13 against the 119 trolls. That will stop them in their tracks.

I feel like this illustrates where the club is at right now.

I was thinking this one.

Let him go Kochie. For the greater good.

I would of though Ken would be the one pushing him out!

Some new Port Adelaide head gear to wear at the footy.

 

[Us against the rest]

Not forgetting our former coach of the year, something he can hang in his office.

 

[edgie]

Yeah after the death of a friend his attitude changed and footy became secondary.

It's so bizarre isn't it?

When JMac died, it propelled the group a bit, to make them want it more, be better and harder, not give up.

When Ken's mate died, it had the opposite effect. He stepped back a bit. Took things a bit easier.

Obviously the context is different, one was a player for the club at the time, and Ken's mate wasn't involved in the club, so there would be no bearing for the club to want to do better to honour him, but still, it's a weird one to me. You wonder if that attitude permeated throughout.

I'm sympathetic he lost a friend, but come on, you're a middle aged man and these things will begin to happen. You still have a professional job to do, your ability to do that matters to the lives of thousands of people that contribute to the wage you've continued to earn in the six years and counting since then.

If you don't feel that's something you want in your life anymore, there's no shame in that. There's the opposite, it's honourable to step away.

I think if he has lost the passion because he's seen a friend die, thinking footy is not that important is fair enough but in that case he should step away from the high pressure of AFL football.

That's what I am saying, as well as saying how other people might use that grief to fuel other things. Ken hasn't done that, and that's ok, everyone deals with things different, he's adopted a different view.

Unfortunately it isn't a view conducive to succeeding in the role he is in.

Ok, I've just tried this out. Will report back with results.
