Could the fraction between Schofield and Hinkley have been over Drew? Perhaps Schofield wanted to start him against Ken’s wishes?

So the only answer is to embarrass him personally, and not let up until he's gone. If ever anyone needed to have their ego smashed, it's Koch.

My avatar, I believe, sums up Hinkley. It reveals what is in between his left ear and his right ear - not a complete vacuum, but not the right stuff that a senior AFL coach in 2019 (when it happened) should have.
Hinkley knew he was on TV, and thus an audience from Camperdown would be watching. So he playacted. He tried to be funny, but what he achieved was to be insulting, not just to his Chinese hosts but also to his employers. He cared about neither.
Alan Richardson, out of sight in the GIF, said something like: “I think there are people down there, Ken.”
Ignorance, primitive personality, latent racism rendered suddenly obvious, zero internationalism … all are on display.
And what is not on display, but is lurking in the shadows, is Koch. Whether he even knows, to this day, that Hinkley‘s stunt, performed wearing a PAFC uniform, was caught on global TV, is unknown. Perhaps Tredders will ask him next week.
Hinkley represents Koch in everything he does - Koch put him where he is and Koch keeps him where he is, therefore Koch bears responsibility for every dumb stunt Hinkley pulls, every bogan word that comes out of Hinkley’s mouth, every grin that Hinkley wears after a loss on gameday, every embarrassment Hinkley causes to the directors, members and supporters of PAFC.
Koch is ultimately responsible for putting a drongo in front of a TV camera in Shanghai so that the world, China especially, can see and wonder who the leaders of PAFC really are, what the culture-setters at Alberton really think, and consequently doubt the genuine intent of Australians in general.
Hinkley’s off-the-cuff attempt at his sort of humour was an insult to every one of us.
When your in another country and throw their traditions over your shoulder literally, is a total disgrace and an embarrassment for our club and all Australians.
What an absolute idiot.
I remember seeing that and thinking, in isolation, that’s a dumb, classless stunt that could possibly be forgiven as a one off.
No forced apology forthcoming to our Chinese partners and in context of an 11 year coaching reign, who the hell would want to keep him and Koch on as leaders of our club.

I'm surprised Hinkley didn't turn up in China dressed like this.

I'd better buy a goldfish then
Does it matter?
Ah that's better.
Surely Ken or a club official would have the understanding to veto something like that

I am certain that was a Bogan Ken, look how funny I am, moment.
Even if it was a skit it plays as the bad Australian tourist stereotype that is often on display throughout Asia. Such a bad look for an organisation trying to get a toehold on the continent.

I’d like to know details about that & how it messed with our prep for the prelim. It’s actually unforgivable.

I'm sure someone knows.
I gather it was obviously something brewing for a while, not sure who would actually let on about it, maybe Bass!
Imagine Ange Postecoglou in charge of the socceroos being asked by SBS to throw yerba mate over his shoulder as a stunt prior to a match against Argentina in their country? Reckon he or FA would be "yeah that's ****ing hilarious!"
Doesn't Ange run a co ck fighting ring with Scott Munn and Hugo Lloris?

Oh God, not the tea thing again.
He's a shit coach that can't get us into a Grand Final. Who gives a **** about tea?

That was the rumour. That Schofield wanted to start Drew on Liberatore after he did a great job on him in round 23, but Ken overruled because the Bulldogs would be expecting that so starting Drew on the bench would really throw them. It worked an absolute treat.

i would much prefer it if he made it to a grand final AND didn't throw tea over his shoulder. but if i had to choose one... i would sack hinkley
