It's like $10 for a 25 litre bag of cow manure

We don't even need to order a truck, just turn up en masse with a couple of bags each

Job done

Your own bowels are even cheaper. Just have some kfc (I love it) the night before, slam an iced coffee in the morning and off to Alberton
 
loses the first 5 games

"History says you can lose the first 5 and make finals"

club sits at 7 and 8 and unlikely to play finals

"Gee I reckon Kenny has done a great job after losing those first 5"

FMD. It's just about manure on the front lawn at Alberton time.

AFL.

But, given the number of players and coaches with gambling problems, and the ability to have a direct influence on a galaxy of markets, not a lot of good can come from such an entanglement.

I mean, how many of these players were addicted to gambling prior to their boss influencing them?
 
Sympathy for the Hinkley:


Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and sugar-free taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole million man's membership fees
And I was 'round when Johnny Butcher
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Kochie
Washed his hands and sealed my fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Snuck around Gold Coast
When I saw it was a time for a payrise
Killed Gussy and his ministers
Rocky's shoulder screamed in vain
I sipped a coke zero
At eleven four was a goddam hero
When the forwards shank
And the midfield stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your midfield and flankers
Fought for a decade
With the gameplan I made
I shouted out
How good are the chips?
When after all
It was only KFC
Let me please introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I smiled smugly
When we lost again

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every game needs a loser
And the competition is so even
As heads is tails
Just call me Stinkley
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your hard-earned currency
Or I'll lay your club to waste, mm yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down (roller shutters)

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down (roller shutters)
Oh yeah
Aah yeah

Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
I tell you one time, you're to blame
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, Rucci, what's my name?

(It's not perfect but wrote itself in like ten minutes - apologies if this was already done back when everyone was doing songs it does seem obvious)

 
I really don't care how various media scribes interpret the words coming from the club over the past few months. I am still firmly of the belief Hinkley won't be coaching Port in 2023.

That said, should the unthinkable happen and Hinkley is retained, i'm done for good. I kept my membership this year in the hope change will sweep through the club and i'll be back when we come out the other side. I don't attend games, but my membership is still there. But a strange thing has happened. I've found i don't really care anymore. Often i'll be out doing other things and arrive home to watch the game on tv around quarter time. Then i'll go walk the dog at half time and arrive home late in the third quarter or something. Footy has been surprisingly easy to walk away from and i'm more than happy to do it permanently. There's way more to life.
 
“Jase [Dunstall], why would Ken Hinkley want to leave when he looks at that list and sees Georgiades, he sees Butters, he sees Rozee… he’s going nowhere”

— Jon Ralph, Fox Footy halftime​

🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
"Yeah Ralphy, Kenny has a golden opportunity to torch the careers of yet another generation of potential superstars. Why would he want to leave, indeed!".

Horsey people give it away for free, and it’s nice and fresh…..good strong odour….
 
One thing that should be noted is that this article is written directly from the perspective of Hinkley. 'Why would Ken want to leave?' keeps being the main narrative pushed here. And when discussing the Club's position Ralph's rehashed the words of Richo and Koch over the last month or so, as opposed to providing any new info from that perspective.

If anything, this is a power play move from Ken. Openly have your media buddies (Ralph being one of them) say that Ken has no plans on leaving - in other words, if Port are to get rid of him they'll have to pay him out.

From Ken's perspective, he will want to be paid out with zero offset language written into said payout - that way he can double dip so to speak getting paid the 6 month payout from Port plus a full year's salary at his new job. So if you're Ken this is the exact type of article you'd want coming out to maximise his potential earnings.

After Saturday's game, Port play four games in a row against teams higher than them on the ladder. They're not beating Melbourne or Geelong, so their best possible record after these next 3 games is 8-10. That puts them out of the finals race with an entire month left in the season. Forget talk of finals at that point - the only talk about Port in the media will be how bad a season they've had and whether Ken should be there in 2023. Ken's anal sphincter quivers at every press conference his contract situation is discussed. Just wait until every second question at a press conference for an entire month is about his future. He will crack under the pressure.

The only thing I see keeping Ken at Port is Port's lack of intestinal fortitude to make hard decisions. Sir Alex Ferguson would refuse to be friends or even acquaintances with his players - refusing to attend weddings of players and the like to ensure he could make sound decisions for the team. Meanwhile Kenny is syndicating greyhounds through the Port squad. I'm sure that was his best idea to establish the all important "connection" the club has been bullshitting about for the last 3 years.
 
I mean, how many of these players were addicted to gambling prior to their boss influencing them?

My thinking was more along the lines of if any of them get into trouble, you’ve got a syndicate with a bloke who gives out contracts, another bloke who picks the team and rearranges the magnets, and all of them can directly influence outcomes in the sport they’re all employed by.

It’s a doomsday scenario, but one that could easily be avoided by not entertaining such entanglements in the first place.

TL;DR: This is me living my life instead of being disappointed by Ports weekly.
 
What a disgrace.

The dogs too slow, better kill it.

Jackson you wouldn't have made it past 26 if we could do the same to AFL footballers.

Haha killed a dog, yeah boys, get the lads together and let's have laugh about some lethal injection to a perfectly healthy animal, good times fellas.
