Unofficial Preview Sack Hinkley

[MrMeaner]

Two things:

C4 may be right. Koch has gone off half-cocked (or full-Koched) before. Remember the agreement re guernseys before the first Shanghai game? How did that turn out.

KT's email read to me like he is close to the exit himself.

 

[Ports1870]

Haha I honestly thought that email was fake but then I looked at my inbox and there it was. **** the Norwood flog off with Hinkley.

 

[ButteredBun]

It's best not to question C4's credential.

Ok no worries.

 

[MrMeaner]

A third thing:

KT does not read this board. If he did, he would know that the term 'Norwood flog' is mostly directed at one of our co-captains.

Both of them

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

KT: We hear you and we don't care. Give me money.

**** it. I'm founding a new club if this one won't listen.

Port Adelaide 2?
Alberton Pirates?
Port Plower?
Short Shower?

 

[Ports1870]

Can’t Koch just tell Hinkley Pepsi’s better and Hinkley might just walk out.

Did everyone get KT's email?

Dear Member and Supporters, I suspect you wonder some days whether your footy club is listening to you. And each time a concern or frustration is raised and seemingly ignored, the overwhelming urge is to protest louder. I think 2019 will be marked as the year of the deafening roar. The rumbling from our core has rolled steadily through the disappointments of failed campaigns in 2015/16, to the moment West Coast broke our collective hearts in overtime in 2017, before spilling over following our inability to capitalise on the powerful start to the 2018 season. The anger and frustration has been broadly and colorfully distributed but appears now squarely focused on the senior coach and the Norwood flog who employed him!! You see, not every piece of information has gone through to the keeper! Coach bashing appears to be standard fare in world sport these days, and whilst often harsh, we do operate in a high performance environment. Success is expected. All coaches understand this, and Ken is no different. Don’t think he doesn’t hear the criticism or feel the disappointment of his players and our members. He does. He’s not seeking understanding or respite. He’s simply getting on with the job of navigating a young group through the perils of inconsistency and a brutally tight competition. Saturday night was a fierce example of how close it is, and another opportunity to step through the door awaits us in Melbourne this week. We can’t wait to get there. But I don’t want to focus on the footy in this note. I think we have a bigger problem, and I am to blame not the footy department. Back in 2014, the Port Adelaide Football Club was lauded. We had arrived at Adelaide Oval playing an exciting brand of football, and we were winning consistently. But that wasn’t all. We were also independently recognised as having the some of the most engaged supporters in world sport. We were operating in this glorious sweet spot where our on field performances were mirroring the values our community expected of its football club. Fast, aggressive, never ever give up footy…and a club mindset that always put our community first. I remember our team putting 30,000 T Shirts on the seats of Adelaide Oval, the local vibe of the Game Day Village, and pounding our way through the railway station on the March from the Mall. We encouraged our players to interact more, have more fun with the kids. We encouraged our young recruits to give before you take, and not get sucked into the selfish industry that AFL football has become. And most importantly of all…we did it together. As we doubled in size in the ensuing 5 years there were moments where our member community felt as tight and close as anyone could imagine possible. I personally will never forget the Phil Walsh tribute night against Collingwood, where we stood as one in the candle lit darkness and reflected on the life of one of our great mates. There have been many others. The point is, we don’t feel like that today. Somewhere along the road to greater growth and prosperity…I’ve allowed us to drop the ball. It hasn’t been a huge shift in mindset. The club is still filled and surrounded by people who care a lot. But it’s there. I know it and more importantly, you know it. And we’ve got to fix it. This is about more than how we play each week. It’s about putting our members back at the heart of our club. To talk less and listen more. We’re not going to agree on everything, and we’re not always going to be able to do everything we want to do. But Port Adelaide is about winning and it’s about its putting its community first. I promise you, we’re going to do more of that. So stay tuned. Right now, we’ve got 4 games to win, a finals campaign and a Magpies premiership push to look forward to. Let’s get it done. See you at the footy! KT

When I read your post my first thought was you were taking the p*ss, but mine just arrived in my inbox.
I have 5 words, and they are - KT has lost the plot!

 

[Ports1870]

How the **** can he talk about wanting to listening to the members after they ignored 99% of the fan base on co-captains.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Now I'm confused.

Arsene and C4 both have lots of credits.

Have just given this some thought. The AFL want us to keep Ken therefore they want us to make finals. We can expect the umpiring decisions to move in our favour for the next four games. After that the AFL will consider their job done so we will be out first game of the finals.

Essentially, all KT can offer is some as yet undescribed plan. Let me guess - it's the review Koch was speaking of? Start letting your results do the talking KT. You've produced enough words.

 

[jac147]

It is now officially out there with some “reading between the lines” missive from David Koch. Although not saying “onya bike Kenny” it’s enough to say that the process has started to rid us of Kenny.
We have all seen it before, “oh so and so is not leaving” trumpets a club official and we know that’s code for “so and so is now out the door”.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

The email is fine.. cracks are forming

 

[PAFC_1870]

If KT and Koshie bring in a popular choice as a coach, are they forgiven here?

Given, off field, they have atleast bought something to the club compared to predecessors...

 

[Ports1870]

C4 vs Arsene. Who do we believe (Please be Arsene)

 

[ButteredBun]

KT just admitted the club is not listening to us.

 

[FallingLiefs]

The email is fine.. cracks are forming

The message has got across and the results should speak for themselves from here out is how I see it.

 

[ButteredBun]

Grand Canyon size.

 

[Us against the rest]

Did we all get our email.

 

[Us against the rest]

Okay own up, who called him a Norwood F**g.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Voting by your money might be the only way.

 

[Us against the rest]

These are cumulative results over 7 years, we have been patient enough.

 

[1954]

The email is fine.. cracks are forming

They definitely are, but my take on the email is KT is f***** and he knows it, because Koch will want a sacrificial lamb and it is likely to be him, particularly if there is no get out clause in Hinkley's BS extension!

 

[crafty_bernardo]

"Young group" .. not sure if this point has been illustrated but

How about Richmond's young group.

They've blooded ... , yet still sit 4th on the ladder
