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

[Ford Fairlane]

C'mon Timmy, channel your inner Roy Kent.

 

[Willsy10]

Far out, he is crumbling under the pressure, he is a nervous wreck and as much as I want him gone it’s not really nice to see. He ain’t going to last much longer. Kochie said august but Kenny will walk earlier, I thought he would be too stubborn to do that but he looks really mentally fragile now.

Am I right in saying better people than me were seeing flaws in his coaching as early as 2015? It took me a while to come around as he bought himself lots of credits with ‘13 and ‘14 and some of the irresistible football we were playing at the time especially when comparing to ‘12.
I wavered from about the end of ‘17, reaching a crescendo up until the ‘21 PF debacle and then I was totally out.
What an indictment on the club he’s still coaching us. Koch definitely has to go with him. He can’t keep his position after all this.

Sitting there at 2 goals to zip, I was worried. It felt like we were 2nd to it, they looked on and we didn't.

Sitting there a couple points down at the end of the third, I'm seriously worried and aware that we won't win if we continue playing this way, something needs to be changed. The game stays this way we WILL lose.

What happens? Nothing.

Post match, Ken basically says, we would've needed to have been perfect up forward given the way the game was going to win.

No s**t Sherlock. Adjust FFS!

They moved it with ease, from 59 defensive possession chains we only got the ball inside 50, 13 times. We were choked and we didn't do anything to mix it up.

So easy to stop, so easy to score against, with no plan B.

That's the Hinkley era for you.

Yeah but once the game starts apparently the coach can't do anything

 

[ClintEastwood]

I liked this, but it needed some adjustments.

 

[chiwigi]

Bad take IMO, Premier league is killer, It’s lost zero appeal in the last 16 years or so of watching it and the foreigners that play in it just make the league more interesting and beautiful to watch

The point is it changed completely the way footy has, it has become a sanitised mass market product.
It is almost completely devoid of its roots, just like AFL and Port.

Sack Hinkley

 

[n4nirvana]

Koch really doesn't care enough about the club enough to sack Hinkley

 

[FutureShock]

As usual Ken's presser consisted of pointing out the glaringly obvious things that we weren't "able" to do. No hint of any hope to develop solutions. It couldn't be more clear the guy has nothing to offer, he peaked in 2014 ffs! Astounding example of negligence from the hierarchy and board to allow 9 wasted years without taking action.

 

[1954]

Glenelg or South would have sacked Hinkley years ago, no further comment required!

 

[Portmagpies36]

Yeah the entire preseason and the way we've gone into these rounds.

We basically act like we're a successful and premiership side.

Like no changes.

Same group of players get selected every game. Same gameplan. Same leaders.

1000 times correct

 

[chiwigi]

Haven't had a gameplan since we ran really fast in 2014.

True story, I had a decent chat with him back then.
He told me it was all smoke and mirrors, as long as the players believed they could keep going they could.

He’s been a fake the whole time.

Prelim final capitulations didn't give you any clue?

I really feel sorry for the millionaire who is ruining the club.

 

[JimmyBC]

Surely Donna’s on Real Estate .com.au searching up Geelong.

Looking for one with a granny flat for Janus.

 

[Relativity]

 

[HighBudget]

Did we even play with Rozee, JHF, and Ollie wines with Butters rotating in and out once in the centre today? Far out Kens daft, He doesn’t even want to utilise the talent at his disposal

 

[PatientMental]

And people thought I was being too negative

I wasn't.

I was just being right

Sack Hinkley

Who cares anymore? This was so ‘pre showdown loss’ conversation haha

 

[Papa G]

Lol. Just saw the score. Christ.

 

[philreich]

Just checked the live ladder - St. Kilda, Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and North Melbourne are all in the top 6, and every single one of them have replaced their coach in the last 12-18 months. Pure coincidence, right???

 

[Jonts]

Aren't they one and the same

 

[chiwigi]

I’ve just got home .

But yeah! **** Hinkley

 

[Jonts]

I miserf the game

Any chance the he's actually gone?

There were significant issues in the back half of 2014 that were masked because we were making finals. Plenty of discussion on here at the time about things we were doing wrong but even the critics were overall very positive.

He makes 15,000 a week plus hinkley LOL
