You can't put those 2 names together 🤮
Kenny's best selling album was Dapto Dogs. Highest charting tracks were Sweet Thing, a song about the sugar hit of playing finals, and Future Legend, a reference to his status at the Port Adelaide Football Club.

The thing that gets me about this angle is, even if Ken was single-handedly responsible for resurrecting the entire club — and we otherwise would’ve floated down the Derwent without his and only his input alone:

It was Hinkley who hopped in a time machine and told Choco to draft Boak/Gray/Westhoff in 2006;

Whispered in Haysman’s ear to bypass the SANFL and blow the whistle long and loud to Andrew Demetriou upon getting his first look at the books in 2008/2009;

It was Hinkley who wheeled and dealed behind the scenes with the SACA, SANFL, AFL, Port, Crows and Rann Government to get the Adelaide Oval move up, and even popped on a hard hat and helped build the new stands with his bare hands, free of charge;

And it was purely Hinkley who personally developed the Wingards, Wines and Jonases into unabashed stars of the competition, if not key pillars of the club for years to come;

Here’s the thing…

IT.
WAS.
TWELVE.
YEARS.
AGO.


Why is Port Adelaide literally the only club expected to remain a life-sentence serving prisoner of gratitude to one man for feats of enchanted magicianation that seemingly only he could procure?

Meanwhile, the media is lining up to tar, feather and trebuchet Luke Beveridge into the Werribee Sewerage Ponds when that maternalfornicator inherited a similar basketcase — surviving chiefly due to millions in white knight donations from the likes of Peter Gordon and Susan Alberti, atop their captain fleeing to Bankstown, and their other gun player escaping to Arden Street — and yet took them to their first premiership since 1954 IN THE SPACE OF TWO SEASONS.

P¡ss off, Bevo. Don’t let the door hitcha, turbo.

And here we are, a ‘lunatic fringe’ for suggesting ‘hey, it’s probably time for a fresh voice’, following eleven seasons of plop that will only require 127 years of historical precedent to be turned on its head in order to be justified.

“But but but… there were tarps on the seats!”

Goodness gracious me.
Jesus this might be the best bit of writing on this topic I’ve ever seen. Bravo to you.
 
With the title of this thread being what it is how ironic is Ollie Wines atomic bomb and Oppenheimer analogy?
I dont think its even remotely coincidence. They read here.
 
Imagine, as a professional sportsperson, need a fleeting pop culture reference to get you interested in giving a **** about playing finals.

Win, you frauds. Win because that's what you've trained for. Win because it's what you're paid to do. Win because you hate to lose. Win because you want to be the best.

Holy **** how is it so ****ing difficult?

I don’t mind this stuff. I just find making it public all a bit naff. Sure if you feel it helps you then great but what good can come by letting the world know?
 
Dobby has more teeth tho'

Hinkley is just a visual representation of the delusion of the Australia Public. They actually like people lying to them as long as it makes them feel good. Its just weird. Kane also reckons Allan Joyce is flog because his flight got cancelled yet cant comprehend the flog Ken Hinkley is? As i said, its just weird

Enthusiasm to watch this weekend's game at an all-time low. Will go to a friend's place to watch it, but mostly for the catch up.
I've got a mate's bucks day, starting at 10am in the morning and going all day from then on. Two or three years ago I would've left early to make sure I can watch the footy. This year I'm just staying at the bucks.
 
According to Kane, Hinkley is "hamstrung" with his defence: "it's more personnel than system".

The squirming begins at 15: 27

God I hate how much I love David King sometimes... absolutely brilliant haha

As usual anything that goes wrong isn't Hinkley's fault but everything that goes right is all his doing
 
According to Kane, Hinkley is "hamstrung" with his defence: "it's more personnel than system".
When Hinkley's not signed leading leading into finals: "It's unfair to expect Ken to perform with uncertainty hanging over his and the team's head."

After Hinkley's signed before the finals: "It's unfair to expect Ken to perform when he's hamstrung by the quality of his defensive personnel."

Basically, in Kornes' world "It's unfair to expect Ken to perform."
