Opinion Sack Hinkley 8 - "Ask me in August"

[JUSTWORK]

They are seriously going to give this muppet a 12th year despite achieving nothing aren't they ?

I you can manage to extricate yourself from the club for a few moments and stand back looking at it with virgin eyes, it's actually pretty f**kin' funny.

Looking ahead we have Dixon practically crippled, McKenzie turning 32 and Lycett beyond cooked and nothing coming through behind them. I'm surprised he doesn't realise that his game plan probably leaves in the bottom 6 next year and piss off to count his money and bask in the glow of the media telling us how he's the most brilliant coach to never make a GF

If you were one of the pathological Port haters that permeate this state, the kind whose primary football identity is ‘hate and troll the Alberton club first/barrack for your own club second’, you could scarcely believe your luck.

It’s like all three genie wishes in perpetuity with a birthday joe blob on top.

A bumpkin with below average IQ, who can barely string a coherent sentence together let alone say anything remotely profound about football — “werk harda, WERK HARDA, WeRk HaRdA” — has landed in a scenario where he has been gifted resources that previous Port coaches who delivered premierships by the truckload could only have dreamed of.

And has hoodwinked even some of the most cynical fans into believing he’s some sort of sneaky savantish mastermind, let alone an army of social media dullards and the plonkers currently stinking up the boardroom who wouldn’t know footy if a Sherrin jumped up and bit them on the knackers.

A literal 11-year historical handbrake preventing the Grays, Boaks and Rozees from ever winning a premiership from increasingly foolproof positions.

And the rising rumours are he’s going to be allowed to continue?

You’d be cockahoop: Fonzie, Pottsy and Happy Days!

 

[JUSTWORK]

I know there is nothing in the clubs constitution that allows it, but surely we have an argument to present to the AFL to remove Koch & replace the board.

If they are contemplating extending this guy it's clear they do not have the best interests of the club in mind.

They are nailing the AFL's brief, why would they change anything about the club?

 

[Doctor Feel]

They honestly don't care about cancelled memberships etc. because they want to rotate out those with expectations while growing the casual strikers fan segment who just rock up for 40 dollar chips with the kids to see Thundapower do a handstand and Charlie Dixon

make a mean face. We are talking about a competition that plays let it go after a goal is kicked, it's not even remotely serious lol.

What a truly strange sport. If I had never got into football i'd have been better off. It's a loveless marriage now.

 

[PowerBaz]

They are all on a hiding to nothing hoping they win something otherwise they are all looking like idiots.

Also a $100 k fine for Allir etc… will force us to keep Kenny.

i live for the amount of spite that you pour into the forum these days

when i was a teenager i read the chronicles of thomas covenant fantasy books and the bad guy was known as "lord foul the despiser". i feel you've taken on that mantle

i mean i'd like to think i'm up there as well but you've got me covered. the ability to withstand the surge where we won 13 games in a row.. i have to admit i joined the wave....

AGREE ALIIR SHOULD BE FINED FOR RETURNING TO THE FIELD DESPITE KENNYS INSTRUCTIONS

 

[HighBudget]

I love how the board is so committed to signing Ken yet it’s apparently only a 2 year extension in the works? Why only 2 years? If he really is the man for the job then why not go long term? It doesn’t make sense to me, This clubs administration is a shambles and a disgrace

IT SHOULD BE 10 Y EARS I WANT TO SEE A SEVENTY YEAR OLD KENNINKLEY COACHING THE BOYS

Whateley et al. will still be lining up to nosh him off.

[ibd77]

There's too much noise now it's probably already done & they are waiting for a win before the announcement.

What happens if they don't win? We go out in straight sets with the remaining 4 games plus finals. Probably a good bet to put money on actually.

 

[Contested Marx]

I might go support Essendon

At least they have the balls to sack a dud coach

 

[JUSTWORK]

nothing's actually happened yet has it?

Not as far as we know, but the continued talk in the media is deeply concerning given Koch is still on the board. You just know Koch would love nothing more than extending Hinkley.

Don't joke, our current board will keep offering him extensions until he says no.

Awesome series. I've not made it through the third 'trilogy' yet. Dr Feel is no Lord Foul, more like one of the three Ravers

the year is 2040, society has collapsed, an AI generated david koch enters the Alberton board room (after scamming a few old ladies out of their retirement funds) and tells ken his services are no longer required:

He becomes so symbiotic to the point that if he dies, the club dies so he becomes Mr. House from Fallout and Kochie just tends to him like a mindless ghoul, hand washing him and rehydrating him daily while secretly harbouring deep physical love for the dessicated corpse.

Kochie is just the Cicero to the Ken Nightmother.

i whipped out moksha as my gamer tag (if that was a thing) back on quake in the late 90s... the three ravers were sick

third trilogy was very good IMO, i mean there was a solid 20 year gap there between the first two and the third.. but it still all worked.

whichever book had the "sunbane" thing is a pretty good analogy of climate change. i mean climate change was probably a thing when the book was written and acknowledged, but not as widely accepted back then.
