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

[PowerLil]

Yep, should've just heard him on 360... he was asked whether this final year of a contract weighs on his mind.

He answered by basically saying he wouldn't be human if it didn't and that he loves what he does and wants to do it as long as he can...

He will be hanging on for dear life

Yes saw that. His answer differed to one earlier in the interview when asked if he hears the outside noise. That was a no. You'd have to be a stone deaf ignoramus.

They treat every Hinkley extension like Christmas has come early.

Hop on Facebook or Twitter and under any article mentioning his contract you’ll find a Crows fan calling for 10 more years.

You’d think the penny would drop.

I don’t give a flying ()&k what those losers say

 

[Handyandy]

I read that as dickbait.

A fresh bus load of Russians has rocked up at my hotel in Bali and we now have a poolside suite. That is dickbait

 

[Contested Marx]

Having Dixon fit and firing is one piece of the puzzle. It's not about Dixon by himself. It's about having multiple, reliable avenues to goal that the midfield can trust in, so that when Dixon is getting double teamed, guys like Marshall or Georgiades can win the one on one contest with what should be a second or third string defender.

Dixon kicked 2 goals that game. He did his job. The rest of the forward line combined - Motlop, Fantasia, Marshall (subbed off for Powell-Pepper), Ladhams, Rozee, Butters - kicked 1 goal between them.

We scored 48 points from 45 inside 50s compared to the Bulldogs 116 points from 60 inside 50s. Brisbane had less inside 50s on the weekend (40) and scored more points (72).

Improvement comes from having a bettter midfield coach, having players like Dixon and Aliir fit and firing, multiple attack vectors with the recruitment of Rioli and having a fit Fantasia, and finally having that explosive mid in Horne-Francis that we've been after since forever that can combine with the power of Wines, the grit of Drew and Boak and the outside class of Rozee and Butters.

Surely a learned student of the Bushido like yourself would understand that game was lost before the ball was bounced; the fault lies atop the depilated bonces in the perspex room

If you say so.

But you’re concerned about them ‘belting off’ while reading this thread?

Quite the dichotomy.

You are an easy mark if you actually listen and take to heart what those losers say. Toughen up cupcake

Is this a bit or have you been drinking contaminated water?

He looks like he's literally stewing in his own juices.

They look more like display home books to me.

Just listened to Basset, he sounded like he has had a lobotomy. What's happened to his dry, cheeky demeanour?
We dont need a squad rebuild at all. We need a coach rebuild, from the top down. Our team is fine.

Sounded like a normal interview to me.

 

[Handyandy]

No I am drinking Long Island iced teas in my luxury poolside suite in Uluwatu after an epic 3 hour surf.

Kenny doesn't read. He only looks at the pictures.

No but Tribey obviously is. My point was that ‘your enemies will exploit internal divisions’ perhaps this is too difficult a concept for you to grasp champ.

 

[Handyandy]

based on the evidence of this preseason - yes

Haha, good call Nostradamus

Dishonourably discharge Hinkley

 

[Us against the rest]

Sack Hinkley, very soon.

I read the 360 interview as " looking at the season as a whole" before making a decision as interesting?

Could be with luck Ken wants out as much as we want to move on? Tasmania could be a good gig long term for him regardless of how Kotch feels?

The only thing Kenny wants out of is scrutiny of his lack of success. I very much doubt he has been sounded out to coach the new Tassie team. I'd be very surprised if any AFL club other than Ports would see his senior coaching career as successful and be interested in getting him onboard.

Nostradamus predicted the future, not gave opinions based on what he saw happening.

My only hope is Gold Coast but Tony Cochrane has gone and I think he was the main driver there.

That is a tantalising proposition. The Tasmanian Doughnuts.

 

[TeeKray]

He clearly wants to keep coaching at Port. The only way we get rid of him is by sacking him.
