Opinion Sack Hinkley 9 - I Am Become Donuts, Destroyer Of Ports

[finbarr]

So I heard Hinkley talked Carr into withdrawing from the Richmond job. If that's true, surely there's some sort of succession on the sly?

Nah, it just means he's completely at sea without him.

 

[TazD]

idk, maybe he deserves another chance?

I emailed the membership department this basically. 2 more years of not needing 3 memberships, thanks. They wont care though.

Very true, the books have been cooked to show a record membership.
Add that to a guaranteed Top 4 finish with two rounds still to go and it really paints a lovely picture.
The two year extension is the icing on the cake .

Well at least the Facebook Happy Clappers have something to be excited about today.

2023 marks the 50th year I have been a supporter of PAFC.
Today it ends. It was fun while it lasted.
Goodbye

Hasta la vista.

There’s quite obviously a succession plan in place. No way on earth would J Carr turn down the Richmond gig otherwise.

Also saying you’ll be indifferent if PA make the GF is a weird take.

I believe the assistants have made Ken’s role more palatable and it plays to his strengths. People writing us off already clearly haven’t watched the team I’ve been watching all year. We can absolutely win a flag in the next 3 years and that’s exciting.

Get over yourselves.

He makes a gf this year or heads should roll.

Clear out from top to bottom.

It's funny how success is a slow moving inremental thing withi this mob. 11 years in anything short of holding up the cup should be considered a failure.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

What can you say?

I'm speechless.

David Koch has taken this great club to the whitest vanilla of mediocrity and unaccountability.

Everything that made this club great and helped it to the bigtime has been crucified by this banal spineless spiv.

It can only be when this pretender is disposed of that we can breathe a sigh of relief and move back to the Port Adelaide we know and love.

The question now is does Koch actually really care about the club at all?
Is he just doing what the AFL wants him to do or does he really believe in all the things he has done and not done?

I am getting the feeling that he is merely a puppet for the AFL.

There really is some superbad juju going on. We are right in the thick of it.

No way Carr sits on his hands for two years, surely? What's he going to learn from Hinkley in that time anyway?

I believe Carr is in no rush , I doubt he would leave Adelaide anyway as his family is very settled with the kids and all.

Let's put it another way, maybe the idea that Carr could one day be Port's coach, i'm sure Hinkley would say anything to ease into another contract.

I'm not so sure if results don't go Hinkley's way that he will feel like seeing out 2 years.

Imagine holding any other job for 11 years without meeting expectations. You'd have been sacked in half the time.

It’s funny isn’t it.

Dimma gets photos holding up multiple cups,

We get photos of Kenny embracing players after select minor round games.

We literally signed up Daddy Daycare

When you set your bar so low, you never fail.

 

[fergulator72]

After 13 wins in a row the decision was hardly likely to be any different. Given David Koch's thinking if we made the finals Ken was always likely to get an extension the only question was did this contract extension rely on Port winning a final or two? Obviously the answer is no. Not the result most of us wanted but we simply have to roll with it and hope there is a succession plan in place.

Regardless as to what we think Ken is a 'player's man' and hopefully this inspires the players to perform. I do not mind if they do it for Ken just as long as they do the business.

44% make finals,it's really not an accomplishment, especially one that should get a contract extension

I spent most of my career being measured quarter by quarter. This club just beggars belief.

And if the Crows fire Nicks after a poorer than expected start to next season?

You're in denial.

I was 18 when Ken was named coach.

I turn ****ing 30 in March, and ill be 32 before theres even a sniff of a new coach.

I need to book myself in for some therapy I think.

They wont have too, they will surpass Hinkley's heros next season.

Change thread title to Sack Hinkley 9 - I am become Ports, Destroyer of Donuts

Chris Davis recommends to the board that his greyhound syndicate mate is the best man for the job.
GTFO

I await the review (extensive root and branch of all aspects of the club) when we don't win the flag which is conducted internally and comes out with move bass to midfield or similar.

The club has made absolutely no effort to reach out to disaffected elements of its fan base.None at all. It leaves so much easy money on the table that is there for jam. It's unbelievable.

Absolutely no consequences when they get it wrong (again).

 

[Jojay]

Nah, it just means he's completely at sea without him.

I can't believe he decided to stay just to make Ken's life easy.

Mail is that Richmond are filthy that Carr pulled out.

I would have a better chance of winning Mr Universe than Carr coaching the Crows.
