Opinion Sack Hinkley 8 - "Ask me in August"

[EskimoPAFC]

Or should that be Brasil ?

I think it actually should though, no?

Isn't Brasil the name in Portuguese which is the official language?

Who you ?

Now I'm confused.

'his' is obviously a misspelling of 'hiss', as in the sound a snake makes. Clearly referring to Kozh (Koch) as a znake (snake)

Total rubbish!

Crows fan laughed at us ... They will belittle anything we do, and who the hell cares what those morons think!
Some Victorians laughed at us ... So? Most of them were actually jealous. Some then started negotiations with India, others with the US.

The only thing that really kiboshed us was Covid and some stupid politics from our government. Gaining MG as a sponsor, alone, was worth all the effort & cost ... Most of which was covered by Mr Gui

Hit the nail on the head. Not to mention China was definitely a chip towards getting GFG on board for their international exposure and I can’t remember if Cathay Pacific were already a sponsor by then but it certainly brought them to the forefront having been the ones to fly us over and therefore get more value for their money sponsoring us. Kicking myself at the bad luck we had in terms of the timing of it all.

Cathay Pacific entered the picture in July 2014 when they flew Team China down via Adelaide for IC14. They chucked in one free seat. Toe in the door.

We followed up and secured a deal with them at the end of 2016.

I recall my late colleague and I discussing the deal across the dinner table with KT in Shanghai. He had two deals to choose from. The other was China Southern. We advised KT to leave China Southern for the seagulls (the Crows) and jump into bed with Cathay.

There are other reasons for me to recall that night very clearly. Hinks the Jinx was sitting right next to me; he hadn’t started chucking tea over his left shoulder at that time … and he hadn’t started being the master conversationalist either.

I'll never forget in the 4th quarter of the 2021 QF against Geelong after SPP kicked his second.

Ken clapping like a weirdo.

Brian Taylor: That's a funny sort of clap.

Kills me.

@5.25 for a bit of a lol.

The kick by Bonner "to" Fantasia sums him up.

Does shit stuff that made to look good by the rest of the team.

Also how good would it be to have a Fantasia that doesn't get injured all the time

Ken is such a weird dude

 

[edgie]

Ken is many things... Or maybe not, but no matter how many things he is, I wouldn't have thought weird was one of them.

He's as ordinary as ordinary can be, as far as we all know.

Maybe being so average is weird in itself?

It’s weird that Ken Hinkley is Port Adelaide’s coach… especially after 10 years … especially after not attaining the ultimate success… or getting us to the Grand Final… and people still spouting “Who else you gonna getz?”

 

[Loony Juice]

@5.25 for a bit of a lol.

Thats a 'happy clapper'

Just needed the drool on the chin to complete the look

 

[Us against the rest]

Sack Hinkley.

 

[Crankyhawk]

This is one of the weirdest threads on bigfooty. Some kind of splinter group whose hate of their senior coach is so complete that any pleasure derived from success seems to cause you pain.

Relax dudes, and enjoy being second on the ladder!

Harsh. They have seen the illusion of success several times and so rightly imo want to wait and see if Hinkley can get to at least a grand final.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Essendon were pretty good in the 90s and early 2000s. Carlton have a right to sack as many coaches as they like on the path to regain their former status. The media never calls them on it. Nobody tells Essendon it's normal to not win a flag, or a final, for a while. Nobody tells Carlton that not being bottom 4 is a successful season!

Carlton might be bottom 4 this year though.

We've followed the story close enough to see that Ken certainly isn't the masterful tactician the game demands. It's no coincidence that our rise and falls are dictated by the class of assistant coaches rolling in and out the club.

 

[theouthouse]

Haha free kicks port 6, geelong 18, not even half time. Never change vfl.

Ever see that dude on your clubs board? He's a Hinkley troll, possibly Jordan or Donna.

Posts a little (not prolific) if the current cultural insensitivity scandal and also on draft hypotheticals. Can’t say I recall him in the game day threads (though usually they are concentrated emotion and umpire bashing - so my thing but maybe not his lol)
