Opinion Sack Hinkley 5 - Lower The Blinds

[Papa G]

No director is going to ever come out and slate the coach and say he is under pressure and we are looking at moving him on, particularly when he is contracted next year, and this early in the season. We win tonight, and then North next week - we are prob 4-5 and a game out of the 8. Don't get me wrong, I want the fk wit gone too, but we are not going to get the news he's being punted right now. So, for those reasons, of course they will back him in. Lose tonight though, and we are 2-6, pressure will pile back on.

It is delicate, but have faith that there are people on the board, that despite what they may say publicly, knows that a failure this year should be the end of Ken.

This is why a loss tonight is so ****ing important..... but the exact reason we bloody will win.

2 and 6 and everybody is under no illusion it's all over. The bundle will be dropped. It will alll become about next year. Even the media narrative will turn. Hinkley will be back in the gun.

But a win tonight will keep him off the agenda. We beat the Roos and as you said it's 4 and 5. He's totally off the radar. A loss to Geelong at the Cattery will be completely glossed over because "everybody loses down there", then its a home game against Essendon which you'd pencil in for a win, it's 5-6 at the bye. So now its rond 13. We are getting into the cold weather now. A Friday night away game against a now Dusty fit Tigers. Probable loss. Swans at home - loss. 5-8. Season meanderingly banal. A win against Gold Coast - Yay!! 6-8. Still a mathematical chance peeps! Get your scarves out and wave them in the air! Freo away. Smacked. 6-9. Still a mathematical chance. Next we'll beat GWS. See, still a mathematical chance!! 7-9! Clarkson announced as the new coach of .... GWS/Gold Coast/West Coast.......****ing Kill me.

 

[bomberclifford]

absolutely. but don't stop there. we were a kick and a bad game away from TWO grand finals!

Three.

bang on mate. Loss tonight and bundle dropped and a loss to North would be rather hard to recover from..... they are going to win another sooner or later...

 

[ROBBBO]

A real shame and a bloody disgrace, where are all the passed players, not a peep bar Tredrea.

6 feet under surely

 

[MrMeaner]

I've said it before, Koch is a small businessperson with a small business mentality (that's apart from being an annoying dick). It seems the board is mostly stacked with similar personalities.

Before last year, I had given up my membership for a while and vowed never to rejoin while Koch was at the club. For some reason, I acted against that last year and became a member again. I renewed this year, despite misgivings. If Ken and Koch are here at the end of the season, I'm out again. If Ken is gone but not Koch, I will have to think about it.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Surely if we don't make the 8 he goes. I was hoping Rob Snowden would shake things up on the board and got excited when Matthew Richardson didn't back Ken in, even until the end of the year, when he was asked about it.

I reckon if we go on another losing streak the pressure goes up again.

If Ken is here next year and we don't make the finals, I'm done.

Btw, what exactly did Cahill say? Anyone got a link?

Cahill was soft as butter

6 feet under surely

Yeah my bad lol.

 

[Schulzenfest]

6 feet under surely

I must admit that I'm a tad surprised that Fos Williams hasn't crawled out of his grave to personally drag Hinkley kicking and screaming out of the coaches box.

 

[Steve Dore]

..
What parallel universe is Koch living in?

One where morning TV is considered hard hitting journalism and cows are milked for cash.

my god you have nailed this to an absolute tee

 

[Steve Dore]

Three.

If not for a little bit of luck not going our way Hinkley would be a three times Premiership Coach. He just needs more time and the luck will go our way one day.

 

[David Puddy]

we’re hoping lol.

We have to sack this muppet.

How many times have we heard shit like this over the past 10 years.

We're hoping to work harder for longer and gee whiz if you're 5% off it's an even competition and youse know the quality of the opposition and yeah, hopefully we maybe win.

 

[Mikey13G]

absolutely. but don't stop there. we were a kick and a bad game away from TWO grand finals!

Nobody was complaining when we were 11-4!!!

Can Koch please come out and say that Ken has the full confidence of the board LOL!

 

[Port85]

I don't care what the board say, just don't extend the contract.

As shit is our board is, they can't give him another contract without finals but they will probably give him till halfway next year (given their cravenness).

 

[Mutha F]

So we beat west coast, and fluked a win in Cairns. You would expect a home smacking by the pooches tonight to put the heat back on the douchebag.

 

[VineValerian]

If not for a little bit of luck not going our way Hinkley would be a three times Premiership Coach. He just needs more time and the luck will go our way one day.

And in what decade will that ONE day occur?

 

[Steve Dore]

And in what decade will that ONE day occur?

Not sure but PAFC senior coach Jordan Hinkley will probably bring his father out of the nursing home for the celebrations.

 

[PropertySteward]

Pyke made a GF and got booted. If Ken made a GF Koch would give Ken a 10 year extension and a wristy from the Farriss brothers.

Tim would have to use his right hand.

It is delicate, but have faith that there are people on the board, that despite what they may say publicly, knows that a failure this year should be the end of Ken.

TBF start of 2020, Koch came out and said that Hinkley needed to make the finals to keep his job and we had our best season in years

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Any Sack Hinkley attire or paraphernalia to look out for tonight?

That's it silly me, the square peg in the round hole, it must be Hinkley's plan B, see he's eventually going to to make it fit, just needs more time.

 

[PatientMental]

This is the bloke who famously devises game plans to beat the reigning premiers but only in regular season.

But this year his attempt at the game plan was so limp wristed we didn't score a goal until 80 minutes into the match.

8 total minute before 3 quarter time.

Driver of a clown car.

But Ken does amazing things at our club and he also has a brilliant mind.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

The club legitimately thinks Ken is so great that he transcends the need to win in the Finals

Some sack hinkley tarps would be good as the crowds get lower. I am sure there will be room.
