Opinion Sack Hinkley 7 - "Turn it around or watch out"

[Interstater]

Robbie's farewell game should be all about Robbie.

I agree:

"Robbie: You deserved more" seems appropriate.

I agree:

I actually don't mind that. I just hate the idea of the post game presser not being about him and what a champion he was for us.

 

[PowerBaz]

I reckon they jumped the gun but are waiting on Clarkson to make his mind up

Well if you were Clarko and happy wanting to go to the club you played for, wouldn’t you have done it by now?

Who knows, maybe this week is all about the discussions and $.

 

[PowerBaz]

The Bombers president steps down (I’d say pushed). New president promises a full external review. Will go hard at Clarkson. Rutten far from safe even if Clarkson says no.

The contrast couldn’t be starker at Port Adelaide

The President was resigning next week anyway, it’s been blown out of all proportion.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Kane on the news says Rutten being moved on is fair enough.

FMD.

2 years in with a year to go on his contract.

Who actually cares about post game presser's anyway? Especially this far in to Ken's tenure.

As if the post game presser was going to be anything more than Rucci asking Hinkley soft questions anyway.

Hasn’t Ken got only a year left?

Essendon don't have any debt. It all comes back to Koch.

 

[killtaker1993]

Gotta respect Essendon for being so ruthless

 

[backtozero]

Not sure what the attraction to Essendon would be from Clarko. Their list isn't crash hot and the whole club seems to have a toxic vibe around it and has done since the supplements saga.

and going all in on Clarkson on 360. Bagged Essendon for being exactly what Port has become ie not wanting to rock the boat nice guys. About time things changed great to see etc.

Seriously it’s pretty obvious they put out exactly what they are told to put out there.

That's probably what attracts him to it. To be the man to bring the bombers back from the brink of obscurity.

And it's one of the genuine Big4 Vic clubs

I agree. Feels more and more like we're watching WWF style "entertainment".

The Age is reporting the president was due to stand down next year so looks like the bad loss brought it forward

Yeah because listening to kens thinly veiled trolling of warren, and Robbie being lauded over tredders is going to be so much better. That’s not to say I don’t absolutely love Robbie but no man in this modern era will rise above warren unless they lift that cup.

Lou could've done us a favour for the future that day he was in the position.

I think there would be a bit of " Insert players name here" is getting 800k and what is he really worth, he's barely trying.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Do you think we spoke to him at least?

Nope.

 

[StrappingTape]

Nope.

Zero leadership, negative leadership actually. It's like the sum of people we have got combined are worse than having no one working there.

 

[TazD]

Nope.

Ken Hinkley = "Kenny Hinkley". Sounds all sweet and dear old uncle-like. "Would you want to have your dear old uncle sacked?".

Ben Rutten = Just plain old "Ben". "With a name like Ben he probably doesn't even stand up for old ladies on the bus i don't reckon. Just sack him".
