Sack Hinkley 7 - we have a lot to learn from the other Sack Hinkleys

Ken was a good coach back in the early days of his tenure here, arguably a few "free kick hawthorns" away from a grand final.

As mentioned previously a close personal loss and grief can bring about some wandering around the bush, clinging on to some stability rather than the feeling of loss and out of control. For Ken that is coaching Port.

Ideally be in his best interests personally to have a change of scenery where he can overcome these issues without that safety net of stability there in coaching/working. Face it head on and deal with it with no distractions.

Why are things so out of whack between board, president, CEO, coaches, players and fans?

We used to be a club well aligned in message and goal.

The club brought out this by 2025 plan - should all be clear as mud. But there is such disconnect between the club and the fans now and, I suspect, this is echoed internally.

Why has this occurred? It’s not just because of Hinkley.

Hinkley, Koch, bigfooty mods. In that order.

Did Holly contribute on the board last year? Looks like she was busy earning a Harvard degree.

Does Harvard do degrees on LinkedIn corporate speak now?

Intellectual honesty. A hunger for evidence. Familiarity with a wide range of analytic methods. An urge to extract answers from the clutter of real-world public problems.

Those are just some of the characteristics of someone who pursues the Master in Public Policy (MPP). It’s a rigorous two-year program that prepares you to understand complex problems and craft concrete solutions. Through courses, exercises and fieldwork, you master concepts and skills that draw on the social sciences but are adapted for action.

A defining feature of the MPP is its relevance: You can take what you learn here, apply it in the real world, and deliver results.

The Complete MPP​

At the heart of the program is a core curriculum that lets you learn across a range of areas. Classes are taught using a combination of traditional lectures and the case method, which was pioneered at Harvard. You will work with world-renowned faculty members in a collaborative environment.

Best of all, your classmates will be as diverse and interesting as the issues you investigate and the problems you solve.

Sack Hinkley 7 - Turn it around or watch out

Alright, this will be the one.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I mean... that's a stretch.

Moving on Primus was the right decision I think.

It's more the context of how everything has gone since, that has made the sliding doors of 'gee, what if we didn't sack Primus?' look more legitimate. If we had of sacked Hinkley as a reasonable moment consistent with the ethos of this football club, nobody would be talking about Primus.

It's definitely true that Matthew Primus operated with far more accountability, far less support, and far less selfishness, than Ken Hinkley, without comparing coaching.

I am happy though I get to listen to him on the radio talk footy still, at least. He's still miles better to listen to than Ken. And he doesn't sound any dumber, maybe even more insightful.

If we didnt sack Primus there would be a Sack Primus thread and I would be the thundercloud of this forum

Complex problem: we suck
Concrete solution: sack Hinkley

Didn't need Harvard for that

Oh great

Just got a message about an old fella I know who died this a day ago.

He was a disappointed Port man.

Let's let our old people die with some dignity and sack hinkley.

 

[Us against the rest]

Port's last win against GWS July 9th, Ken coaching at the top of his game, we are now August 14th.

It’s hard to judge Primus. He had no support and was having difficulty changing the list to his preference cough Kane Cornes

I’d suggest we could do worse if he was willing to be a senior assistant to a new coach.

I can’t see many coaches wanting to join us currently and I can’t blame them.

Seems Timmy G also is limiting his narrative on how the supporters would let the players the club know. It’s has been our right to voice our displeasure. Now that right isn’t appropriate anymore. Suck it and see. Probably the best thing for Fiacci he was shafted from this shot show by bringing in Wanga’s the wood duck

 

[Del165198]

It gives me the giggles to think that whenever ken is in trouble, his go to solution is to make absolutely sure that there is a 5'3 bloke in the forward line that stays back deep against two 6'4 defenders.

, and now Jed McEntee.

Whenever the team is going shit you can guarantee this is happening.

It's just mind blowing the ineptitude

 

[Thunderer]

Can anyone confirm whether the Board is meeting this Wednesday?

 

[Del165198]

Cast your minds to the realm of the hypothetical for a moment and just think about the sheer bizarre unique status Ken has as some sort of untouchable, unquestionable icon immune to criticism.


Let's imagine Ken isn't our coach. Our coach is an amorphous, faceless nobody.

Ok now, imagine the same results.

• The horrific, unexplainable prelim disaster.
• The going 0-5.
• The uninspiring wins over bottom 8 sides.
• The end of season collapse, culminating in what possibly looks like another 0-5 run.
• the bizarre selections. Dropping of Georgiades when all our other tall forwards fall over. Failure to select a ruck. Continued selection of motlop and McEntee. Giving McKenzie an extension.

Now just imagine the media coverage and reception.

Right now the media would be absolutely TORCHING US, both locally and in Vic. The coach would be under incredible pressure if he hadn't been sacked already. Negatives articles would be popping up everywhere.

Yes

 

[Us against the rest]

I still think there is a chance he walks.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Can anyone confirm whether the Board is meeting this Wednesday?

Yes they are

 

[TazD]

I wish we went with Pirates instead of Power so we could be saying things like "walk the plank" and "keelhaul that mother****er" in situations like this.

 

[Marat]

Yes they are

Anyone seen the agenda?

 

[malcheski]

Cancelled membership, actively wanting the team to lose and generally not giving a shit about the club anymore….
