Opinion Sack Hinkley 6 - Kochblocked

[TazD]

Had a dream last night that Ken wound up at North. It was gloriously liberating. Sucks to wake up to be honest.

Having dreams with Ken in them, Cripes how screwed up have we all become.

Was there a paddock of freed greyhounds?

Koch doing an interview on triple m this morning.

Probably confirming our worst fears.

‘Prison Bars’

That’s what it will be about I’m guessing…. Followed by a comment re the ‘football program’.

Super Sid?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

This doesn't leave me white hot with rage at all.

If only there was a way of finding out some other coaches numbers.

Since Ken started:
Chris Scott 57%
John Longmire 54%
Ken Hinkley 32%
Crows 29% - 4 coaches, bottom 4 3 times.

Ken's record is actually so ******* s**t it makes me sick.

I want to add this to the talking points thread.

Is this against top 8?

And since 2013?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Hahahahahaha, holy s**t, you must always bend the narrative until it breaks in your favour don't you. I'm using the raw numbers you're applying your own bonkers head cannon to yours.

You can't just ignore years and data because it doesn't fit your agenda.

I think it might actually be Ken or Koch.

If you take out all the times we lost, we won really!

You can't make this shit up.

Why not? It's the perfect time to do so. Rusted on people give up their cushy seats in protest over Hinkley. You get a good view of the game, content in the knowledge that either a) 2022 was due to circumstances beyond the control of the coaching staff and playing group, and they bounce back into top four in 2023 or b) things go the same way they did in 2021, Ken gets the sack...and you've just put a $400 deposit (or whatever the cost of the membership is) on watching a Clarkson coached Port team go around in 2024.

Buy low, sell high

Or we can get rid of him now, and those who probably would have given up their membership (like me) will return to the football next season, and we'll start seeing full houses at Adelaide Oval again.

I wish the Janus method of stat embellishment had been around when I was a disco duck in the 1970's, because by removing the 4 out of 5 nights I crashed and burned my record for cutting one from the herd would have been absolutely sensational.

But think of the happy clappers. We'd never lose a game with all that positivity in the stands

Did Koch-head confirm a contract extension for Donuts as he's coaching the best he ever has?

 

[Thunderer]

Koch on Triple M:

• interest rates;
• inflation;
• looking at other competitions for Magpies;
• Prison bars;
• Hinkley is contracted for 2023;
• review of football program at the end of year, just like every year, will make changes, just like every year.

But very openly expressed change is inevitable and will happen

Didn't deny they've been talking to Vic based coaches

I thought it was strong and open

Ken absolutely no certainty for next year

There is hope folks

Same shît from Koch this morning, "we've always said Ken is contracted for 2023".

I dunno, he didnt sound overly convincing and didnt cup Kens balls like he normally does.

 

[philreich]

Remember when they bristled after it was discovered the much-trumpeted “This Means More” pump-up video was found to be plagiarised beat-for-beat from Liverpool?

The absolute and wanton disconnect from basic levels of accountability.

Is it any wonder a simple sticker on a roadside sign was treated like the attack on Pearl Harbor?

Maybe we should change our club song to, "Don't rock the boat."

 

[TazD]

Am I being gaslit? Where is the finals clause they shoved down our throats at the start of the year?

looking like he's gonna ho on about the prison bars smokescreen

Makes wonder is the club hoping for Ken to feel the pressure, have a look around, maybe think regardless it’s time to move on and work something out. They won’t openly sack him and not sure we can afford too but the line Kochie keeps spinning is just the truth, ‘he’s contracted’ is just stating the obvious.

It doesn’t feel like he’s here next year but no idea. Ken should read the room though, he’s not a third year coach.

Wasn’t that Caro?

 

[Papa G]

Hinkley's manager would be furiously negotiating with GWS/North.

 

[philreich]

Thank you. Even Kymbo says to Rucci to perform the calcs himself because Rucci is the journalist not me

Again, however, this just shows the social media posts are being read. Hopefully they are being read by the right people at the club.

Wow - Rucci wants calculations done for Hardwick and other successful coaches against top 8 teams. The thing is, (and please correct me if I'm wrong) didn't other teams have game plans that were actually worth watching, as opposed to Ken's unwatchable tripe? Plus there's the small matter of grand final appearances and premierships......

He's backing his eye test trumping raw facts and figures.

He'll just change the narrative if he's wrong 'yeah but at least 30% is better than it was in 11 and 12.

 

[Gryllis]

Koch will always say Ken has a contract until he's sitting at the press conference where he suddenly doesn't. He's not sacking him live on triple M.

 

[PatientMental]

From 'everybody thought he was a superhero' to 'he has a contract '
