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

Sack Hinkley 8 - I'm a Ken Hinckley guy

 

[Marmozet]

Even the caveat at the end of the quote, “this is not knocking him as a coach”.

Why not?

What makes this guy so Teflon-coated to the point of infallibility?

It’s absolutely incredible how easy this bloke has had it, considering.

The ALf just loves a bumpkin

 

[Cheesey Mac]

People who believe that the players being extremely comfortable with the coach clearly have no idea.

What employee wouldn't love a boss with very low performance expectations and rarely, if ever, holds them to account.

I would really hope that elite footballers would be driven to succeed without the need to be pushed too much... Like, surely they'd want to be premiership players rather than just also-rans who achieve nothing. Surely at a certain point guys who are pissing their entire career away under a coach who has achieved nothing and never will would agitate for some change?

I mean, I know that isn't how things are with us anymore, I know we're lead by a bunch of spineless, weak-willed idiots on the board, in the admin space, and even our on-field leader who lost the fire in the belly (yet still remains leader) - and that sets the tone for the rest of the club, with those who come in new being indoctrinated with the weak Glenelg-lite version of Port Adelaide that we've become... But even still, you'd hope that on some level there'd be some professional pride from the players

Makes me wish the attitude of our club leaders was still:
Any club worth its salt will clean out its no-hopers from the doorman, to the head trainer, to the captain. Keeping no-hopers in these positions, or any other position, is the mark of the non-successful club. You've got to weed out people who breed an atmosphere of non-professionalism. They're there for the bloody joke, for the social life, for the prestige. They're not there to win.

We are a shell of a once great club

As a country boy I take offence to ken being a country bumpkin.

Yeah, no country bumpkin club would put up with a coach that coaches for a decade without even managing a grand final

Yeah but Ken's the salt of the earth mate. Honest as the day is long. And a bumpkin.

That makes me want to sell up and move to the burbs

That article talks up how good our list is, especially the young crop of players. Doesn't fit with the narrative that the Hinkley defenders are pushing that it's not Hinkley's fault he hasn't been able to make a Grand Final because he is hampered by a list of absolute potatoes.

Hinkley eats steak medium-well done. Another thing to dislike about him.

Well, maybe the Hinkley defenders have a point. The article does say "with a side of spuds".

OpenAi knows what’s up

Human: Write an article on why David Koch should to resign as president of PAFC
AI: The time has come for David Koch, the current president of the Port Adelaide Football Club, to resign from his position. Under his leadership, the Power have failed to achieve any meaningful results and the team appears to be trending towards mediocrity. During his tenure, Koch has been unable to craft a clear vision and strategy for the future, leading to a lack of direction and enthusiasm amongst the players. Furthermore, his controversial off-field comments and actions, including his involvement in the greyhound racing scandal, have cast a negative light on the club and tarnished its reputation. Koch's communication skills have also been inconsistent, failing to adequately address the team's issues and concerns, or to engage the supporters in a meaningful way.

If this one is real/unedited, can you sceenshot it and post it here? I can't recreate it in chatGPT.

Someone needs to tweet it to him so he loses his shit about AI making stuff up.

"There wouldn't be too many coaches who go into their twelfth year at one club without a premiership"

There are none, Gary. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
Ol' Kuntry Kenny from Kamperdown is the first in the entire history of the universe to do it.

Do some ****ing research you overpaid knobs. It's literally your ****ing job.

Garry Lyon talking sense to Tim Watson's nonsensical ramblings is bizarro world.

“We all understand a performance industry and we’re not naive to that. But what we do know is that nothing’s achieved by making silly decisions or crazy decisions"

"Eleventh year doesn’t matter in some ways."

"Ultimately [ken's future] it goes to the club and the board... but it will be a joint discussion with confidence in each other to do the right thing"

“What can we achieve? Who knows in a really tight, tough competition"


What a deadset selfish loser.

He really is a dead set ****witt
"Such a tough tight competition." Boo hoo you weak as piss loser.
You can't be saying that shit all the time

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

lol do the right thing. **** off, you campaigner.

It's an elite coaching technique, you wouldn't understand unless you were in a performance industry like Kenneth. Essentially, you emphasise how hard it is to win to your group and make it clear your destiny isn't at all in your control. It's super empowering.

 

[Duck Farmer]

“But what we do know is that nothing’s achieved by making silly decisions or crazy decisions"

We know he has achieved nothing.

We know the decision to appoint him was silly.

We know the decisions to extend him were crazy.

It all checks out.

If superman and jesus had a child it would be ken hinkley - kane cornes

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Has he started his long service leave yet.

 

[Chewy316]

We should take the AFL's media love affair with Ken as a badge of honour among the fans. They are shit scared as to what our Club can do with the right coach in place. As long as Ken is here, it is one less non-Victorian club that is in the way of the VFL getting success year after year.

Time is running out though, and there's nothing that the media can do about it.

This is fitting, because like superman he has obvious, well established weaknesses that his opponents repeatedly exploit. He's also gets an inexplicable golden run with the media, almost as if he's got someone on the inside.

And like Jesus he's never actually achieved anything, and anything he could potentially be credited with happened an eternity ago, but a lot of people have blind faith in him and believe he'll sort it out regardless of how bad things get.

Grand finals are his kryptonite.

 

[Doctor Feel]

If leadership wont take any risks out of fear, just **** off and get people in who will you weak campaigners.

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Taking risks with a small chance of folding is better than experiencing the same mediocre s*** over and over again in order to simply exist.
