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

[bomberclifford]

I'm sure he will be dropped.

I'm not sure he will. We'll go back to the well like we've always done.

Watched Oppenheimer last night.

That was almost as long as Hinkleys coaching career

And left less of a smoking crater after it finished.

Remember this is the mindset that our base has, nothing wrong with Ken laughing

Just a reminder of what those running Port think of Port tradition (especially Ken).

Hinkley urges fans to back controversial captaincy decision

Power coach says he wants members and fans to support new leaders

www.afl.com.au

It's the first time since the Power entered the AFL in 1997, and dating back to when Port Adelaide was formed in 1870, that the club has had co-captains.

"Clearly that's the first thing you think about, you think about all those things involved with a football club as great as Port Adelaide," Hinkley said.

"It's a really brave decision to come up here today and say we think this is the right model.

"I am asking our fans and our members to be equally as brave and support these two boys.

"They will do them incredibly proud right through the next part of this football club's history."

The move has polarised Power supporters, but Hinkley said it was done with the club's best interests at heart.

"We'll convince them purely through results,......

The decision means the No.1 guernsey – traditionally worn by the Power captain – won't be used this year.

Just one of the dozens of moments throughout his career that it's incredible wasn't the last straw.

Can we also start a sack Davies thread, after his "glowing endorsement to the board" for Hinkley to be re-signed, that blokes fallen off a cliff too!

Wasn't it donuts who said. You get what you deserve. Well why doesn't that count for himself? We could still finish outside the top 4 too

That guy’s a massive cuck.

He was parroting Ken’s career win% earlier in the year, so I pointed out that it’s hyperinflated by a near undefeated 30-odd wins over North/StK/GC.

His response was, “so? you can only play who is in front of you. Ken doesn’t set the fixture”.

They just don’t get it.

4th lol

Our season is dying faster then a hinkley greyhound

 

[tribey]

4th lol

• We go on these crazy record streaks and don’t finish top-2 (2023),

• We turn at halfway clear top and don’t finish top-4 (2014),

• We sit in the top-4 two-thirds of the way through the season and fail to make the eight (2018),

• We finish top-2 and can’t make a GF (2020/1)

Solution?: EXTEND HINKLEY!

Last week Ken said he wasn't as concerned about the result because "the ladder stays the same." Well Ken, the ladder is certainly different after this week. Well on track to meet Collingwood on the road 1st week of the finals. Another collapse under your watch. 3 collapses (2014, 2018, 2023), all with different coaching groups and playing lists, all collapsing in the same manner. And yet somehow we are led to believe that the one constant (the coach) has nothing to do with it and coaching at the top of his game.

Mate, his H&A record is better than Clarkson's or Hardwick's.

 

[longdonkey]

I wouldn't mind seeing his record after August 1 each season. In fact I might put together those numbers. I'm expecting it to be HORRIFIC.

Thank God for this. Makes it all okay now.

My ladder predictor has Port finishing fourth with a trip to the GABBA week one of finals.

The shitty % they never worry about bites us now. Matches the worst accuracy in front of goal in the league.

 

[JimmyBC]

It almost feels it's by design even the list, humming with youthful stars in one area yet hanging on in grim desperation to over the summit veterans in others with little regard to development or depth in those areas.

How can I be blamed if the balance is never exactly where it should be etc.

These people are genuinely satisfied with home and away wins. As long as they can turn up to Adelaide Oval with a 50 percent chance or slightly better of seeing a Port victory the world is good. They are the very essence of theatre goers.

Never more apparent than,

2018: splurge almost $2,000,000 in salary cap on Rockliff/Motlop/Watts to add to a side that just finished 5th after the minor round

2019: ‘Ken’s sacrificing his career for the good of the list by playing so many kids!’ — in any given week half the first team was 27+ with a handful of 30yo’s in it.

“We’re so young!”

Rightio.

Forever on the shop for missing pieces while development & age/experience demographics are all over the shop in other areas.
