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

[gbear]

How deluded do you need to be to think Ken is going to win us a premiership?

Very. Probably need to sectioned.

 

[malcheski]

His problem as a coach is that he can't consistently motivate the team to win big games.

We haven't won a knockout final since 2014.

The idea that we can beat 3 top 4 sides in a row in the cauldron of finals pressure to win a flag is laughable. I'll remind you what happened the last time we went into a finals game as the clear favourite.

We're blowing a list on a guy who has proven beyond any doubt that he can't consistently get the players mentally prepared. He's a poor coach.

The absurd call is keeping someone you already know isn't capable. If we're handing off to Carr, why delay? What is there to gain?

North Melbourne…..NORTH MELBOURNE!! Have won as many finals as us since 2014.

It’s beyond being mentally prepared in big games, it’s a systematic failure of performance across the entire board when we have the same finals record in the last 10 years than a team that was won 2 spoons and an 17th in the same timeframe.

And it will be significantly relevant when the spud fails again and we are ******* stuck with him for another 2 years,n

I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

He was always going to get extended if we finished top 4. I'd made peace with that several weeks ago.

I just want the club to succeed, if they win a flag i couldn't care less who the coach is and i'm not going to worry about hypothetical straight sets finals exits.

Of course if it happens i'll be ropeable. But right now the season is still live and we are actually well and truly in the race.

What’s this happy clapper sh!t?

I’ve sat opposite tarps on cold wet days at Pleuracy Park. I donated more than I could afford when the club was on its bones. I’ve attended come rain or shine when thousands of you didn’t. I’ve donated 1000s of hours of my time to the club.

I crave success more than almost all of you. I don’t see Ken as the anti-Christ. I see a squad growing into a serious premiership contender now and for the next 5-8 years.

It would be an absurd call to ditch Ken now. He has built a squad that can compete with them all and is younger and more exciting than all.

He’s on a short leash. Anyone with half a brain and who is capable of completing their 5 yo’s Join The Dots can work out this is his last contract:

• No contract extension until the last 2 games of the season
• 2 days ago Josh Carr withdraws from the Richmond job, despite being favourite, citing family stability.
• then we sign Ken, not for 3 but 2 years.

For those of you that can’t join dots- assistant coaches get $100,000-$200,000. Senior coaches get $700,000-$1,000,000 pa. You can buy a s**t load of family stability with an extra $600,000-800,000 pa.

Josh Carr will be head coach in 2026, maybe before.

Time for the Ken haters to pull your heads in. Some of you even want us to lose to get rid of Ken. That is quintessential lunatic when we are the youngest top 4 team and 3 wins away from a flag.

You are not the true heart of the club.

Besides this post being a possible copy and paste from 2015, if Josh Carr is there now then why are we waiting to switch? He's more than ready now.

 

[fergulator72]

He is staying because he did a deal with his wife when they last moved back to Perth (it would be for a short time).
Where this year he came to Port as part of moving back to his wife's home town.

No one with four young kids would want to move and live in three different States in roughly 12 months.

Then why did he apply for Richmond, she obviously agreed ,so no,I doubt it was family oriented

After doing a quick whip-round of the closed shop fan groups, I feel like Steve Carell after chatting with the stripper in The Big Short,

“there’s a bubble! short everything!”

old mate thundercloud is just the tip of the iceberg.

They can have it lol, there is nothing of worth to be had.

 

[fk ken]

Spineless club had the contract ready but the Geelong game didn't go to plan. Hope Kochy and Daddy donuts deliver this year or they won't get one more cent out of my pocket.

 

[fergulator72]

I can't even muster up the energy to get pissed off. We all knew it was coming. Now we just sit back and wait for the implosion

Can't wait for it, honestly this club deserves it

all of this becomes irrelevant if we are holding up the cup on september 30.

10 years of ken says that won't happen

No other club contacted Hinkley....jeez that's really surprising.

I dunno, it feels different this year as it's the last roll of the dice for this group. We'll have to find some key position players to go with the core young guys we have so it's a different mind set going into finals, much like 04. If we can get over the hump why can't we win it this year? At least I'll reserve going full nuclear melt until final results are in but maintain an absolute disappointment in going early for no reason.

How delusional you wanna get,you probably said the same last contract extension,and when we make finals in 2025 and he's got another 2 years, you will say the same.

Port is run by a bunch of ****ing morons.

 

[Jojay]

Gotta think that list management has played a big part in this. The likes of Ratugolea have probably committed to coming and I'm hearing that Butters will likely be announcing a new contract

I'm sorry that so many of you will now be leaving the club and, no doubt, this board. Your deathriding the club, it's players, board, coach clearly make it untenable for you to remain. The bile you have spewed over the last few months is probably having a deleterious effect on your emotional stability and mental health. I hope you all find happiness in whichever club you move to. Good luck!

The dude in your avatar agrees its a stupid thing to do, gonna ring up and tell him to find a new club?

Easy to spot the 'fans' that started following Port Power in 2014 when we moved to the Adelaide Oval.

Defence is ranked 15th,that's not winning you a premiership
