Opinion Sack Hinkley 8 - "Ask me in August"

[Prince St]

Maybe it’s we, the fans who are wrong and those getting behind the coach with the second most games in vfl/afl history to not make a Grand Final, are right.

It’s only Round 3, let’s give him the 21 games he needs to take the record off Terry Wallace, and then we’ll ask Kochie, k guys?

 

[Pappagallo]

Koch is such a w***er it now wouldn't surprise me if he offers Hinkley another contract just to piss Tredrea off.

Nah this is finally it. Ken would’ve been breaking balls to get another extension before the end of last season and the fact that it wasn’t forthcoming this time is telling. Short of an absolute miracle on-field, he will be gone IMO.

Trigger Alert:

“Sacking a man of great character and integrity who has given great service to his club and rescued it when it was on its knees in R3 after publicly stating that his future wouldn’t be discussed until August would be a disgusting and treacherous way to treat someone.”
Kane Cornes

**** me.

That is triggering.

Kane is a ****ing Ken(cōck) sucker

Catching up on thread so not sure if this has already been said. It has been suggested, perhaps even tentatively confirmed, that when negotiating the COVID reduction to his salary they removed the 6 month payout clause.

Yep.

Kochie is exactly the type of bloke that Gerard would invite over for some tapas. They would get on like a house on fire.

Ebert sacked after fails to win SF in 1987, lost 1984 GF as captain coach.

Cahill sacked at end of 1998 after another 6 SANFL flags and only 2 years in AFL missed finals by % in 1997.

Williams forced to resign mid 2010, a premiership coach. Two grand finals, three minor premierships, finals in 7/11.5 years


Ken Hinkley ?

But Koch doesn't listen to white noise

 

[afl2004]

Hinkley will be on The Front Bar in Adelaide next week. Most cushiest appearance since AFL360 in his basement dungeon.

Will it be done live in the public because if it is

 

[Us against the rest]

Even if they insist on not sacking him until August we all know he’s done so can we at least start the interviews now? We have the advantage of being the first club that knows it needs a new coach for next year. Let’s make the most of it.

I wouldn't be so sure with the tv host calling the shots.

 

[Andre]

Rozee loves ken, but i think he's salvageable. He'd move on pretty quickly with a new coach. Butters on the other hand just comes across as a really dumb kid. I reckon he'll walk, but meh.

The irony, in that of the players, he'd be near the top of my list of those who'd put their body on the line and do anything to get a flag. He's just not smart enough to realise as long as Ken's there he's getting no where near one. With Ken gone and it explained to him in simple terms he'd get over it soon enough.

Backward facing statement, nothing future thinking about this comment. FU KC is this the club you would have wanted to give your blood sweat and tears for?

 

[tribey]

We won’t really be able to tell until Ken has been dead for 50 years whether he was successful or not

When he publicly sooked it up after being booed off following the 2021 prelim loss it sent a couple of warning signs out there. He was still young though, so it could probably be let go. I just don't see Horne-Francis, even at 19, behaving like that.

His mum sent people messages and was posting on a few groups having a go at people if I remember correctly,it was definitely a warning signs at the time

Doesn’t matter this year does it, he’s budgeted for.

 

[PowerBaz]

None of this would have happened if Warren would just learn about the club.

Warren is more carbon neutral because he’s vax free.

So by year end Ken will be outright most games coached in AFL/VFL history to never make a grand final?

I imagine that extends to all other state league records also because this level of mediocracy is unprecedented on all fronts.

Edit: someone correct me if I’m wrong but by my calcs Hinkley will end up 1 game short of Wallace for above stat…Hinkley even sucks a being a loser

Don't forget there's 23 games this season.

 

[Papa G]

No idea who he is, but i'm assuming he is just what the world needs. More "amateur content creators" who vastly overestimate their worth.

He's mates with that other millenial ******* Teal wearing podcaster fat **** Jack Hudson. Losers.

 

[RossFC]

Need a sacked in the morning chant ringing round Adelaide Oval.

 

[LittleLika]

Koch and co are really trying to brew up a losing culture right now, It’s starting to become ingrained within the club and a lot of our fans are jumping on board, It’s actually pretty scary, If we let them succeed Port will be done for and we’ll always be a mediocre club with a majority of crowesque supporters happy to gobble it all up

I think about this every night, literally.

 

[GoPorts]

Koch on channel 7 tonight said we need to give Ken more time and space

I agree. Sign him for another 11 years

We can give him more space by moving him to a weather station in the middle of the Simson desert

 

[Harlott]

Can we please have some other ex players speak up? Or will they in effect hang him (Tredrea) out to dry?
