For some time now I have agreed that Ken has well and truly run his race with Port but, largely because we seemed to have little choice as supporters, I was prepared to see this season out in the hope that we would at least have some good games and some good development into our newer players. However, after round 1 to some extent, and now the debacle that was last night, if there is not a serious switch flicked next week and consistently maintained every single week after that, then if he has any pride whatsoever, he should walk. If not, and the club has any pride whatsoever they have to let him go asap.
 
the fact he didn't appear at all pre-season and now seems to have given up... do the right thing and quit you fraud. stop taking our cash.



He was very MIA (Scomo) style pre season for sure.

He would know, the club would know he isn't well liked at all, they must have a plan? Surely if we don't make a GF he isn't going to be here next year, we are and should be in the box seat to go after anybody we want.

Imagine if we lose to the Crows this week, would that be enough?
 
At least Primus was a nice fella working with one hand tied behind his back and genuinely cared about the club. I wanted him gone as much as anyone but that sight of him leaving the box at GWS was quite sad.

With Hinkley we have a pure snake oil salesman who cares about nobody but himself. The day he exits the box during the last quarter i hope he slips on a banana peel.
Iirc Primus was given the option to coach out the season and chose not to. I imagine Hinkley would have to be escorted out by Police and a pay check with every entitlement and bonus.

KT revealed that they internally made the decision on Primus' future following the loss we had where the entire leadership group was injured. The GWS loss was simply when they decided to make it public.
The contrast to Ken's 9 years of groundhog day type performances is quite stark.



Hinkley lead teams have been churning out these sorts of performances with everything at his disposal.
Lol what? When we lost to the eventual premiers, our bogey side, at their home ground, missing a third out of best 22? Probably even amongst our top dozen?

We certainly didn’t improve our coaching panel in thevoff season.
You can’t really blame Ken for accepting another contract if it was offered to him on a silver platter.
This is all on the board.
Something stinks.
Yes you can.

Integrity is still a thing.

Even drug cheats defender Tim Watson realised he was taking the Saints for a ride and the right thing to do was step aside.

They were reigning premiers, not eventual premiers. But apart from that, yes.

If you were a player at this club and you had a look at these stats, do you think it might cross your mind that working hardery for longery may not be the solution?
Could it possibly be that quality over quantity is the preference?
That 60 disposals per goal may not be as good as 18 disposals per goal?

Look its rocket science I know but perhaps not being continuously at the point of exhaustion may make it easier to take a shot for goal.

Clearly I'm wrong, because of all the well explained reasoning from the prelim final, and the volumes of explanation from last nights game.
Silly me.

Clearances 54 to 30 and you lose by 11 goals, that has got to be a record.
How?
1 Horrendously poor skill level
2 Shit structure
3 Rest of the team not working hard enough.
4 Mentally as weak as piss.
That is Port Adelaide.
 
this group is connected and I will back them in to turn this around...

you know this is coming. Jonas and Ken led by Koch are going to kill this group
Jonas gets way too much latitude, even amongst the Ken unbelievers IMO. He's a shit Captain and has been from the start. He hasn't dragged us across the line in games and has been as spineless as everyone else in the big games. Can anyone honestly imagine him getting out of his sickbed after throwing up from flu and carrying his side to victory in finals, like Tredrea v. Essendon? The reappointment of Jonas as Captain this year was the clear one to me, that even if they weren't going to talk about it externally, internally they'd written the Prelim. off as an aberration and the Captain was joining the coach in having no responsibility for it.

Primus also obviously still cares about the club. Does anyone seriously think Ken won't go back to wearing Geelong underwear the day after his sacking and not think about Port at all, except to laugh at us for funding his retirement?

Lol 60 vs 18 disposals per goal. Hardery farken.

I never want to hear the words Port Adelaide come out of his mouth once he's booted out of our club. Not once, ever.

I suspect he's been wearing them all along, saving up dirty pairs to sell to Gerard Whateley in a subscription service once we finally sack him.

If we lose to the crows I will become seriously sick.

The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed. But, I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger. In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic Club will be reorganized into the first Galactic Hinkley Empire for a safe and secure society.
