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

[simba_]

The Age's podcast panel was all emphatic about us having no chance this week and none for the premiership. And yet, none of them mentioned Hinkley as the reason. Just a complete lack of perspective from the Vic media.

they're just good trolls and we're desperate fools

I've had a delightful individual reply to a tweet I made after the Russell Ebert tribute Hawthorn thrashing (asking for the board to listen to the supporters) with a screenshot about 2023's record membership.

Where do these people get their brain worms?

Literally every club except west coast (finished last), Richmond and Hawthorn posted record membership.

The numbers are utterly meaningless.

Weird on SEN heaps of idiots are tipping us to beat Brisbane.

Kenny's done amazing, the man's a genius. They're no chance though.

When’s the last time we went into a final as underdogs and won?

The 2014 Semi vs Freo at Subiaco?

Since then we’ve played 6 finals, and save for the Prelim against Hawthorn, all of them have been played at home as favourites to varying degrees.

0 wins, 1 loss @ MCG
2 wins, 3 losses @ Adelaide Oval

Jeez wouldn’t want to underestimate him!

Even that Freo final is negligible considering where we were halfway through 2014.

Say what you like about Hinkley as a coach but at least he is a good human.

Two suspended as Victorian greyhound racing industry investigates live-baiting allegations

I wonder if the slow greyhounds think that to be true.

Kane Cornes' tongue is so far up Kenny's bunghole that he can probably taste his boogers

 

[Steve Dore]

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 Bowie/Jagger video for 'Dancing In The Streets' is more impressive than anything Hinkley has ever done, and probably more macho than Ken too

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.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

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?

Looks like a bloke who fellates others for drug money.

 

[bomberclifford]

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

 

[bomberclifford]

cleaning up my files and found this...

I can see another Hinkley prelim exit coming up.

Just my opinion of how things might go.

According to Kane, Hinkley is "hamstrung" with his defence: "it's more personnel than system".

The squirming begins at 15: 27

Sack Hinkley 10, the title has to be The Cult of Ken

 

[finbarr]

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.
