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

[Cuzz09]

Without a shred of self awareness.

I reckon there's a bit of "fork all Youse"in his comments

Kochie isn't clever enough to hatch a scheme like this.

Yep he is an idiot, always pretending he’s smart

Id be amazed if Clarko didn't talk to Amon and maybe Bergman and Hayes while he was here.

Why would he?

He hasn’t even signed a contract yet.

Also, players have managers and telephones exist.

If he wanted to let these guys know he was interested in them, once he knows where he’s coaching he would contact their managers, who already know that he’s coaching next year (it’s not like this came out of nowhere) and then if necessary they would have a chat over the old telephone.

I don’t know about you but the idea of having time to meet with people in person when I’m travelling is very unappealing and not at all realistic. Anyone who travels a lot for work would lol at the idea. Who’s got time for that shit? Not sure why people think coaches travel Australia to see players in person..

Might be a bit late for Pittard.

Roos' massive cull: North delists ELEVEN after horror season

North Melbourne has delisted a quarter of its list with 11 players not offered contracts

www.afl.com.au

The reality being that Pittard was afforded more opportunities by Hinkley than he would've gotten anywhere else. Brad Scott a declining North Melbourne saw what he was capable of and said "nah, this isn't it."

Was this from yesterday?

If they get Clarko, Rutten will be sacked.

Speaking to Horne Francis' parents according to the North board

This seems quite plausible. Which would mean he's committed to norf. Which would mean Hinkley ain't going anywhere.

Also, would not be surprised if he's been talking to our players - the gnome has always had a hard-on for Port players

I remember Tom Rockliffe saying over a month ago that Clarkson had been phoning players in Adelaide to get a feeling on whether they'd move. A trip to Adelaide in the final round and he could be speaking to a number of South Australian players as well as Adelaide agents. Or he's visiting a sick friend

Do you really think that? seems far fetched doesn't it.

I'll take the job if your son stayz......

From the North board: "Sorry to be asking an obvious question but how the hell it’s disrespectful to Kenny who’s got 12 months on his contract but seems to be ok to do the same to Rutten???"

They've seen this shit for 5 minutes and they're already realising how ****ed up it is.

Because honest Ken is a modern-day saint whom single-handedly save the Port Adelaide Football Club from the depths of hell. You don't go disrespecting the canonised.

Clarko had another 12 months left on his contract, said he wasn't going anywhere, things changed not long after that.

Can’t wait for 7's clip of Clarkson brushing past everyone at the airport straight through the door into a taxi without saying a word.

It's probably because Hinkley, much to the chagrin of this forum, has made three prelim finals, won two qualifying finals, won two elimination finals and won one semi final in his tenure as coach with Port whereas Rutten has made one final and lost it as coach with Essendon. I'd also say that the media is aware that Hinkley has been dealt a bad hand with injuries etc during the seasons where things have gone pear shaped.

Essendon doesn't have that issue. Their problem is purely mental.

That may influence your opinion on whether either should coach next year, but it's not at all relevant to the contract they have. Both have another year to run and have not been sacked. So if that makes it disrespectful to speak about replacing one, its also disrespectful to speak about replacing the other.

Do you even read the stuff back that you post? Hinkley pissed up the wall 2 home prelims. That in itself is inexcusable and you sit here and pot a coach in year 2 for having a team thats mentally weak? We are living in year 10 buddy.

Sick friend, port board meeting today....

Hurts being in the friend zone Clarko, we want more than that.

You’re such a poor quality troll. Keep working at it though - one day you’ll be as good as thundercloud.

 

[JimmyBC]

Or maybe, just maybe, Robbie - who is ALWAYS reserved and reluctant to talk about himself - actually wanted his coach to be by his side for the presser.

Hinkley has been at every retirement presser I can remember, it feels a bit set in stone with him.

Has a Daddy Donuts is Port Adelaide vibe & sends them all off on their way.

Lol excuses excuses as per usual. What exactly was the excuse you were running with post prelim last season?

Why is it far-fetched? If he's committed to norf and sees JHF as a potential flight risk, coming and speaking to his parents in person to assure them that he's there for the long haul would just make sense.

Also, I wouldn't trust that little man - snake in the grass. Some on here may not remember or were too young, but when he left for hawthorn end of 2004, he basically did what he could to take every quality Port person with him.

Like I said, he's always had a hard-on for Port

In year two, Hinkley was coaching a prelim final against Hawthorn with the likes of Jake Neade, Andrew Moore and Cam O'Shea in his best 22. It's also clear that Hinkley hasn't lost the players this year like Rutten has. The only agitation for change is coming from impatient fans who, let's face it, if we had played Sam Hayes for every game would be complaining that not playing Georgiades was the reason why we didn't make finals this year.

The situations are not even remotely the same.

You're correct, we as a fan base have been extremely impatient. Lets give him another 10 years to figure his shit out then hey?
