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

[El_Scorcho]

Just reported on Trade Radio that he's changing his name to Jason Horne-Francis-Hinkley

 

[Port 2004]

How many members have we got so far? We'll have a huge drop off next year

Where are you? Have you heard that JHF wants to be traded to Port. Usually you are spewing negativity, surely you have a comment about this.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

JHF news has actually made me forget that Hinkley existed. I felt happiness with Port for a moment.

Last night was the first time I've been excited to be a Port supporter since about halfway through the first quarter of last year's prelim.

Me too but it's already worn off. Maybe it will come back some time next season

Sacken the Hinkleberry.

Shuffling the deck chairs to deflect Hinkley coaching beyond a decade

Hinkley should be eyeing off the job at the AFL Brad Scott just vacated.

 

[killtaker1993]

When Hinkley smiles he looks like Kuato from Total Recall

Hinkley should be eyeing off the job at the AFL Brad Scott just vacated.

Lol, he's not nearly smart enough for a role like that or any role really. The AFL wouldn't hire him just like no other club would. We're condescendingly told that he's good for us whilst nobody else would go near him.

 

[Us against the rest]

It won't be long and there will be a dog track on the perimeter of Alberton oval as part of the club renovations.

Lol look at the shitshow Essendon are and even they didn't want him!

Or Hinkley had already given both the Club and playing group his word he'd be at the Club next season and thus when encouraged to go for the position, he declined..

If Essendon weren't such a basket case and hadn't started its process quite late, I think you'd find Hinkley would have been at the forefront of the process.

Repeat after me Jason:
"The boys love Kenny'"
"Ken can't kick the ball for us"
"Ken's made me a better person"
"We're letting Kenny down"
"The loss burns in the guts"

 

[PowerLil]

Koch "JHF's parents are big fans of Ken".
Who actually says that except an idiot?

You forgot "we lost the fire in the belly"

Instead of Jason really wants to play for Port Adelaide and can't wait to get here.

More cult of personality bizarroworld that sets the table for an extension around the bye.

 

[JimmyBC]

All Koch had to do was say "I won't comment on possible trades it's not my area hopefully there's some good news coming" & we'd think there is a modicum of awareness and a semblance of the position he holds.

Combined with his “little club” shtick, there’s an absolute disregard for what this club actually is and means as an entity.

The insistence on making Ken Hinkley the singularity upon which everything Port hinges and does is a bigger turn-off than a particularly hairy arsėhole.

Kochie seems to meet the definition

..... a bigger turn-off than a particularly hairy arsėhole.

Lol oh lord!

Kane and Koshie are really clinging to reasons we should keep Ken around. Saying he's basically the reason for the JHF trade call. Credit where it is due, Ken has always been popular with players. That alone isn't a reason to resign him. For the past 10 seasons he's had access to some of the best list management going around. CD & Co have gone out and got him the "missing pieces of the puzzle" time and time again. Nothing illustrates this better than Charlie Dixon

. You can have a bloke with the aggro, size and willpower like him, but if you squander it or burn it with an inefficient game plan and bomb it on his head or instruct him to bring it ground, then a prelim is about as far as you'r going to get. We may go further with some of the extra pieces we manage to get this year, but even then, we will have squandered so much.

 

[FutureShock]

Seems like Koch is spouting that drivel to justify his previous dopey comment about how sticking with Ken in 2023 will give us the best chance of attracting quality players. That claim was looking pretty silly until JHF fell in our lap mostly through sheer luck.
