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

[Winganeen]

Brodie Grundy’s move to Alberton is a step closer, with the ruckman meeting with Port Adelaide in the last 24-hours.
It’s understood a group, headed by coach Ken Hinkley, caught up with the 2 time All-Australian in Melbourne.

This is why they wanted him signed in August.

I'm sure Lycett will be putting in that extra bit of effort to slaughter his crippled body knowing that Stinkers is shoulder deep in Grundy's ass.

And we hit the roof when Geelong met with Boak mid season where's his professional courtesy.

Matthew Richardson Q&A: Port Adelaide’s chief executive opens up on how the club is tracking on and off field​

.

MT: Does re-signing him in August open you up for criticism if you have an unsuccessful finals series? The sentiment out there will be you should have waited.

MR: Making sure we’ve got a program and our people locked in is the best way for us to be successful in September.

....


MT: Will Ollie Wines step up from vice-captain to wear the No. 1 guernsey next year?

MR: Ollie is obviously our vice-captain and has led the group very well when Tom hasn’t been selected. He’s a very important part of our leadership group with Darcy Byrne-Jones

. At season’s end we will review, as we always do, and then commence a process across pre-season to select our captain and leadership group for 2024.

Great to see the focus is on finals lol fck me.

Those kids getting his autograph this morning have blood on there hands

Butters & Rozee involved as well apparently.. what a great head space before finals eh.

Honest Ken surely wouldn't do something so underhanded and whilst in the throes of preparing for a qualifying final. People may start to think that honest Ken is maybe not so honest after all, even a little underhanded, perhaps a lying snake, two-faced or fake?

I could be wrong but are they allowed to talk and meet with a contracted player?

 

[Harlott]

How to answer questions without actually answering the question. Seriously if you’re reading this Richo (and you’re not) just give someone else a go at your job.

 

[JimmyBC]

If Grundy ends up here it'll feed the ridiculous Koch belief that Ken is some miracle worker in selling the club to potential recruits.

HE WAS INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED WITH KEN HE LIKED THE WAY HE SAID YOUSE.

Not sure about meeting but they can't be offered a contract (I believe). Someone will know.

It wouldn't explain why they gave him 2 years. I'm also fairly sure most other coaches would have been willing to tell Brodie they wouldn't make him play as a forward in the reserves.

Is it appropriate to deny re entry on the basis "f*** off we're full"?

Who is that old hobo?

 

[sobrave]

Has ken ever said he loves the club, or is passionate about the history or anything?

He doesn't seem to do anything but talk about football in general terms and enjoying coaching and shit.

Rucci vs Hinkley op shop challenge

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Are they enjoying it?

 

[Harlott]

MT: What makes you confident this year is going to be different to 2020 and 2021 when you were knocked out in preliminary finals?

MR: Our path this year is going to be different. Rather than have home qualifying finals, we go to Brisbane next Saturday night and we’re excited about that. We’ve shown resilience throughout the year and if you look at the group leading us, we’re not relying just on (older players like) Ollie Wines and Travis Boak. We’ve got a very different mix that are young and excited by the opportunity.

How’s the shifting of narratives here?

Is he saying that he's not expecting to make the Prelim Final?

 

[Ilias M]

Seen this before

 

[bomberclifford]

Has ken ever said he loves the club, or is passionate about the history or anything?

Quite the opposite.

 

[JimmyBC]

He couldn't give two shits about the club or it's history, this is a guy that rolled out a pathetically prepared side for a tribute game for the clubs greatest ever. Disgraceful.

So we shouldn’t try and get Grundy?

This guy's whole tenure has been a never ending missing piece jigsaw.
