No he is not a Crows fan by any stretch of the imagination.
And going at him instead of Koch et al is a bit weird.

Of all the problems our club has, he isn’t even on the list.

That wasn't a go. Just weird dressed in crows crap not port.

Ken may not be sacked but the club can tell him to look around.

Trouble with Kochie is he will look at 60 thousand memberships, AFLW etc..... 'Ken's a good bloke, the boyz love him'.

So it wasn't mid last year. Tim making sh*t up now?

 

[JimmyBC]

We need a club to come after him for an agreed parting of ways lol

I might win the powerball too lol

From memory it was January 2021, as a reward for Hinkley actually somewhat delivering one year in six.

Yep. It was January 2021

Hinkley extends contract with Port Adelaide

He looks a campaigner in the club's pic too.

Hopefully Norf listen to the media & hit him up once Clarko rejects them.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Whats the latest news?

We’ve only got 3 game left with Hinkley coaching

Being on AA means never having to fact check.

Ah well, if true they're going to need all the welfare they can get when a lot of us don't renew membership. Need to find a new way to get to that 60k membership.

Surely they can't stick with him if we lose our remaining games

Of course they will. They've already started the 'LOOK OVER HERE AT AFLW!!!' deflection (yeah, lets add insulting the AFLW players and coaches by using them as cover for Ken). Expect all club social media to be AFLW almost exclusively from here until the latest possible time in the pre-season. Ken will disappear from the last siren round 23, a brief appearance at the best and fairest (still wouldn't surprise me if he's hidden via a bullshit 'health and safety protocols'), then not seen or heard from for months. Repeating this years 'Where's Kenny?' adventure, except with AFLW to give people something to like about the club.

Our club is spineless. Our club. Pfft. The club, formerly ours, is spineless. Cowards, but with egos and stubbornness. A worse combination is hard to imagine.

How many more excuses are you willing to give Hinkley and co cause that's what they are masquerading as in depth analysis.

The consensus was leading into 2015 we were one of the Premiership favourites. League wide was the case, we shat the bed under the weight of expectation with losses against Brisbane and Carlton back to back which shelved the entire idea after being well placed at 3-2, we wrecked our entire season and fell short and missed the finals. There's a common theme from then until 2020 & 2021 that you neglect to address that mentally the playing group & Hinkley and his multitude of staff over that period falter & fail under any weight of expectation and pressure. Season 2018 we blew 11-4 to miss the 8 entirely, which is a stunning achievement in itself. Once again that year expectations came calling and we fell. I'm not even going to bother mentioning back to back home preliminary final failures cause they have been covered a million times on here.

You can claim oh the list wasn't good enough for this period or that period but Aaron Keating, Aaron Shattock from memory, Jamie Charman and any other player ranked 17-22 in a Premiership team is a Premiership player proving the idea the list wasn't good enough dead in the water. You need players to play a role in Premiership sides outside of your elite talent doing their job. To many times we have piegon holed midfielders like Sam Gray into forward posts or other mids into back flanks and god knows what, and that's poor coaching by one man who's been a constant since 2013. Then we've gone through periods of no ruckman playing at all, failed many a young key position prospect that lays on one man as well.

The Utopian idea of "Total Football" under Hinkley doesn't exist, it never has and never will. It doesn't exist in AFL footy as a whole it's a football term and stays there cause it's the only sport it works. I'll happily debate the merits of total football with you but not on a AFL forum as it isn't the time nor space for that.

Frankly the idea that there's a excuse for a man who's a good coach and will never be a great or Premiership coach is tiresome. I admire the fact every year after the same type of failure you have new theory on how it might work, but facts are Hinkley has gone as far as he can, he's achieved all he can. He can't go any further. It isn't the players, the list managers nor the club's fault, it rests on Hinkley alone. He's had a fair crack at it, no one can fault his effort but the time has come for change at Alberton.

I'm not sure why you would waste your time reading Janus posts tbh. He/she obviously does not know the fundamentals of football at all and just tries to come up with the most harebrained ideas to attempt to sound smart. Some people think he/she is a troll but I just think he/she found an audience for once, a bit like the regular politics thread posters.

This year anyway

[Gryllis]

How much was saved but not replacing Voss and Schofield properly? There's most of his 6 month payout covered.

 

[AdamMarrett]

So that's the new narrative is it -

"We can't afford to get rid of him"

Has to be something.

 

[malcheski]

You just know they extended the turd mid-year amidst their mini ‘revival’ and now they’re controlling the narrative because the blow back will be fierce and he’s shat the bed once again. If it’s the case, I’m going to look for a quick drop with a sudden stop

I don't pretend to read everything that Janus posts and I'm not an expert in all the finer points of the game by any stretch, but Janus has been posting here for about 15 years so he/she is definitely a long term supporter and poster.

And he posts with a bravado and an arrogance that doesn’t seem to correlate to how things actually turn out.

Doesn't mean he/she has any clue about the game. I use to read it because it was amusing and up until 5 years ago I was optimistic so at least we were on the same team but if you think someone that starts a post with quotes from a movie as the reason we would win......

 

[JimmyBC]

A sticker near Albubbleton may not be enough.. although I admire Stickerperson.

Whether you agree with it or not, compared with some of the other stuff on here, that is one of the more reasonable things I've read recently
