Opinion Sack Hinkley 6 - Kochblocked

[Lefti93]

Don't want to hear bullshit excuses about not being able to afford to pay him. It's a complete cop out from the club if this is their mindset. You will not be able to afford getting 20k next year to games and losing our membership money.

I'll be opening a bottle of champs

Is that like a bottle of Kennies?

 

[Chewy316]

I'm waiting for Ken to dismiss the 5 losses at the start of the year and the last 4 losses in a row, because if you ignore those Port are 8-3 and everything is hunky dory.

Even if you ignore the 5 losses to start the year, their record is a measly 8-7, 1 game over 500. Hardly that of a contender.

Tonight was a microcosm of the season. Two or three good patches for 5-10 minutes then a complete drop off. Inexcusable skills, zero composure in the final minutes of quarters leading to multiple opposition goals, culminated in a coach bereft of ideas so much so that his grand master stroke at three quarter time was to move 7 goals in his career DBJ to the forward line.

There's absolutely nothing you can look at tonight to suggest this club is on the right track under Hinkley. Absolutely nothing. He's had 10 years, he hasn't got it done and the club is about to have its worst season under his watch. In such a sad state of affairs, they are not only 4 games and percentage off the top 8, but just 2 games and percentage off a bottom 3 position on the ladder.

60k memberships is better than 20k at games.

What do we need to make money at the oval? 30k?

 

[rogerjames]

Magpies flogged as well. Again. How's the stability though?

We consistently lose, can u get anymore stable

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

If we can’t pay him out of his contract and are stuck with him next year, simply put its negligence by the club to have caved to those contract demands in the first place.

 

[PJ Power]

That may have been Ken’s worst press conference ever. He barely made sense. Talked in circles. Nonsensical.

 

[Coobk001]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH KEN!!!!

Ken in the presser.

"We played a game that was pretty good until half time."

NO WE ******* DIDNT. WE WERE COMPLETELY DOMINATED ALL ******* NIGHT. We just got a bit lucky they didn't take their chances.

This ******* bullshit ****ed up acceptance of mediocrity is ridiculous garbage.

Never have I heard PAFC coaches in my life time, like this guy, talk about piss poor performances as accepted or pretty good.

This sort of loser mentality needs to go. You should be striving for excellence, unhappy at that piss poor half and calling it what it was, a side that was lucky to be holding on, despite being smashed statistically, and the opposition having the game completely on their terms.

To think he thought losing a half to a middle of the road Tigers, at home, and being smashed statistically was pretty good is just dumbfounding.

We were walloped tonight. They missed a raft of easy chances, they controlled territory all night and were able to control the contest with ease. That performance a 10+ goal smashing any other day of the week, and in no way shape or form was any element of that game acceptable. Only really Boaky could probably hold his head high.

Did anybody ask a hard question?

 

[Smartys Power]

Is he sacked yet?

 

[PJ Power]

Nah. All open ended airy fairy stuff.

Is there an independent audit on those numbers and our finances. I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden we've become a significantlty profitable club after recording loses and only marginal profits. Can't imagine how much the club has spent on the Precinct, setting up AFLW and the redevelopment of Alberton Oval.

 

[GranFormaggi]

Did anybody ask a hard question?

Sounded like there was only Rucci and one other there. It was pathetic

 

[kozi]

Was a win for both teams tonight but genuine commiserations nonetheless.

Sack Hinkley

 

[ClintEastwood]

Presser was an absolute waste of time, as they are every week.

What's happened to the days when press conferences actually had hard questions? And follow-ups, if coaches like Donuts just played a straight bat?

 

[philreich]

Just think guys - this time last year, Collingwood was 17th.......

 

[rogerjames]

That is the truth and I was told so tonight. We are in debt to the AFL so they own our nuts.

How goods the oval deal looking kochie - grandmaster financial wizard.

Fu*ck the AFL. They spend way more money supporting at least another 4-5 clubs. It's time our club had the balls to call their bluff. No PA means AO sinks & SA football with it.

Nah, you did what you needed to do.

 

[PepeSilvia]

What a ******* soft press conference.

Would you like to swap coaches?

 

[fergulator72]

Nah. All open ended airy fairy stuff.

Rucci,a paid port spokesperson asked most of the questions

How can we not afford to pay him out...

After loosing Schofield and Voss from last year and replacing them with nobody essentially and surely paying peanuts, surely we have saved the cash in preparation for this.

SA Football is dead already it just doesn't know it yet. AFL/VFL who control both SA clubs will ensure success doesn't come our way. Meanwhile the SANFL will pretend they are still relevant to SA Football going forward. Just waiting for the envatable collapse when the money runs out.

He does every week, these days.

What a pathetic press conference.

FU Rucci.

You're one of the no hopers.
