Unofficial Preview Sack Hinkley

[The Rubber Man]

Funny you say that, I done the predictor and I have Port in the finals too.
Wasn't brave enough to say it.

Think it comes down to the crows v saints game this weekend. Saint win, we make the 8. Crows win and it will come down to percentage between port & crows.

I have us losing this week and winning our final 3 games for this to happen.

It's becoming clear they all need to go "OH GOD NO!" **** me you are as weak as piss Kochie.

Koch’s comments, fu** me.

Port Adelaide chairman David Koch says every position at the club will be reviewed at the end of the season, including Ken Hinkley’s position as senior coach.

But Kochie ruled out any coaching moves before the end of the year: “Oh god no,” he told FIVEaa Breakfast on Monday. “Good clubs -- you don’t do that.”

“We’ll review it at the end of the year. We’re still one game out of the finals, as weird as that seems at the moment…

“We’ve always said… that our pass or fail mark that we set ourselves is making the finals… we’ve got to deliver that. Our members expect it and we expect it. We’re a club with a proud tradition of succeeding.”

Talking about good clubs and our proud tradition. An intelligent person wouldn’t speak of things they have no idea about.

The modern PAFC end of season review. I presume Ken will still be our senior coach next year then. May even score another contract extension.

**** Koch. Making finals is not a pass mark, it's a minimum standard - We exist to win premierships, requires that we first make the eight.

I'm sick of this constant lowering of expectations. If I was happy to be spoon fed platitudes, I'd follow the Crows. Get him out of here.

He’s the living antithesis to The Creed. He needs to be fired into the sun.

**** off Idiot. If here is a problem you fix it ASAP, you don't let it fester. My God, this d1ckhead has no sense of reality. Look around you mate. Look at the positive influence sacking the coach has had on all 3 clubs that have done it! Piss off you impostor.

We Exist to Make the Finals.

Guy I know has heard Monty may not be at Port next year if Kenny is there, unable to implement any changes.

Looks like it will be the Kenny and Bass show.

I’d heard that Schofield has told the club he won’t be here if Ken is, hadn’t heard that about Monty before now.

Surely we have gotten to a point even the club can see there is no way Ken can remain here any longer.

 

[Capital Power]

Even if the Board were disinterested enough to believe nothing needs to change at Alberton, I don't understand why 26,000 empty seats at a marquee game in perfect conditions in our preferred time slot isn't an issue.

Rumours fly around in these situations. Could be names getting interchanged. Sadly, we are fertile ground for rumour now.

6,000 more turned up to the Sunday twilight 2 weeks before.

That seems to be a popular punishment lately. Do we have enough rockets?

They can all be strapped to the same one, will make the bean counters at the club happy

Someone might need to let David in on the fact that we're not currently "a good club".

Hmmm ... I dunno, I've been watching all these space shows on at the moment. They're fussy things these rockets..

The PwC folks need until then to get across all the issues...

Good club? A club that is allergic to finishing any higher than 9th is a good club?

I am hard to understand I realise and was late to coming to really wanting Ken gone but I am not calling people out. Just a different perspective. My comment or thought was that is our negativity feeding into itself ? I was expecting similar feelings from outsiders but they weren’t as negative as we are on here.

There is no doubt this place is uncontrollably negative, and has been for 3 seasons now.

Id say BF was where the seed of doubt originated halfway through 2015 and its grown exponentially since then.

But, you know when a lot of the facebook groups, which are traditionally 100% super happy positive all the time, are now at least 50% negative that the broader wheel has started to turn.

There will always be the “we need to get behind Coach X 100% here, support the club” people

There will always be the “i’d like to see you do ****ing better!” People

There will always be a group who are 100% behind the coach even if we go three years without a win.

But, they are diminishing

 

[Duckimus Prime]

I wonder if he has ever challenged anything Ricciuto has said and stood by it?

Brought up Gibbs (unnamed Crows player) refusal to travel to the Gold Coast, then jumped off as quickly as he could when Ricciuto denied it. Not even pushing him. Even Dale Lewis and Jarman were harder on that line when talking about it in the afternoon.

 

[Tredz]

The PwC folks need until then to get across all the issues...

Nah - those PwC boffins are really good at root cause analysis. "Here you go Kochie. Our analysis is: SACK KEN, then SACK YOURSELF. That'll be $100,000".

 

[Alberton Proud]

At what stage will they (Crows supporters) realise their current situation is more to do with their list, and club culture, rather than Pyke.

Never

Hopefully
