Opinion Sack Hinkley 6 - Kochblocked

[JUSTWORK]

Hinkley does a runner.

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley has made a swift exit from his weekly press conference after being questioned about his future.
With Hinkley again the subject of speculation this week about where he would be in 2023, the 10th-year mentor began motioning to get out of his seat when asked if he still expected to be at the club next season.

He answered “yep” before quickly saying “thank you, have a good day” and leaving.

I will reiterate what i said a moment ago;

He knows that he is gone.

Have a good day.

First sign of pressure and he cracks. Unbelievable.

And boom, just like that my ED is cured

Incredible to think that Kornes was saying we shouldn't get Pyke because he couldn't handle the pressure. Pyke went through worse than that daily.

Is there vision anywhere?

If he was so confident on his position, he wouldn’t left.

pressure music intensifies

To be fair leaving when put in a tough position is actually growth for Hinkley, normally when he's in trouble he'd find a way to scapegoat a young player instead.

He's gone. Everything is pointing to it.

Can't handle the heat , explains our top 4 record

If he was confident about his position in 2023 he'd have just laughed it off. And honestly, the club could shut this down in 10 seconds flat if they wanted. If he was staying it would be unhealthy on so many levels to have this question constantly hanging in the air, from recruitment, to marketing, everything.
The call has been made. Hinkley out.

Stickerman for a statue at Adelaide Oval?

Certainly looks that way but I’m still not getting my hopes up.

IF Kochie has been unusually publicly quiet about the Power ... THEN

IF ...​

Kochie has been unusually publicly quiet about the Power in 2022 ...

THEN ...​

that doesn't mean he's been privately quiet. Wouldn't be surprised if a pointy-ended chat with Kenny is scheduled next week, win lose or draw against Richmond on Saturday night.

Gone early! hahahah. I use this gif for so many things.

And I totally get that. And to be honest, as positive as I've been up to this point of Hinkley being moved on, I've still had some nagging feeling that he'd escape the axe for one more year. This has changed that. I just cannot possibly see him here in 2023 now. And what's more, I think the replacement is already waiting in the wings.

You have just been doing what we do for a living too long, getting our hopes up only to have them dashed by the owners wife who would prefer a different font.

I was always told not to count my chickens until they hatch but.

All too believable.

With loads of evidence .
