Opinion Sack Hinkley 6 - Kochblocked

[Us against the rest]

Ha ha, old wrinkles Cornes, the chip on the shoulder must burden him greatly.

He could not beat the great PAFC in a Grand Final, Cahill showed him it's done. Then Blight has to show him how to win an AFL premiership lol.

Looks like Kane is a chip off the old block, hows your failed attempt as a fire fighter, after the club let you go while still contracted, did you give a shit about your team mates back then, or the loser coach you protect today.

Your talk is for losers back at the Bay not Port Adelaide.

telling us how bad Primus was compared to Hinkley.

Give me a principled, dedicated Port Adelaide man who would bleed for the club but can't coach over a dumb, greedy, sociopathic hillbilly who also can't coach any day of the week.

And the fact that Primus wanted to rid the club of a selfish little rat like you Kane is actually an indicator that he did have some idea what he was doing. F*** you Kane, I don't care what you did on grand final day, Primus deserves that medal way more than you ever will.

At least Primus brought the fans with him and listened to them.

 

[chachi11]

How fukced is our board though? An underachieving coach that has served 10 years at the club is still not sacked when one of the greatest coaches is available.

The club is rooted.

Kornes shouldnt be bitter, if Primus did stay on imagine how much sooner he would have been able to quit his firefighting job and move on to gutter journalism?

This isn't happening anymore. Koch came out and tested the waters and was duly smacked down by the media protection racket.

It's disgusting. Everyone who has enabled this should resign when we finish 14th next year and sack Hinkley anyway. And Kane Cornes' name should be removed from all honour boards, he's an embarrassment and the most anti Port Adelaide person imaginable.

Kane Cornes who,

• wants to talk about “disrespectful” when he blatantly white-anted the previous coach, with a father who happily piled on via his high-profile in SA footy and radio program;

• immediately retired upon reaching 300 games after just 8 rounds of the 2015 season despite Port being a premiership window (most contested possessions in 2 years that night — you’re good to pull your finger out when it’s all about you);

• has a brother at the club employed as backline coach, a department which is in shambles.

That Kane Cornes.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

It's amusing. I have a very strong personal connection to Rozee via one of my best mates, and I can tell you right now that these quotes from Rozee are far from what he's told his best mates behind closed doors.

So what would be his motivation then?

Why wouldn't he just say we leave that up to the admin?

Has he been offered captaincy or vice captaincy?

 

[Power Girl]

I know we're not re-signing him but this has strong echoes of re-signing Chocolate in 2009 only to sack him less than a year later but miss out on Hardwick in the meantime.

Exactly. We did not learn a ****ing thing from nearly breaking our club.

Remember the days we all wanted Port representation in the media?

' name should be removed from all honour boards, he's an embarrassment and the most anti Port Adelaide person imaginable.

And this was probably Kochies some intention.

Get the media defending Ken so pacify the happy clappers who were starting to turn and justify keeping Ken.

 

[Jojay]

Hindsight shows us that Primus knew exactly what he was doing by trying to move the Cornes brothers on.

 

[TeeKray]

And this was probably Kochies some intention.

Nah, I think he was genuinely flirting with the idea of making a move. He won't have the balls to do it now though.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Imagine if Ken has actually over delivered, and not under delivered with this group.

Are we too invested? Are we the ones whonare wrong?

Have the club got to you as well ?

 

[finbarr]

So what would be his motivation then?

He has no motivation. He's being rolled out with a script by his manager, who probably owes Ken's manager a favour or two.

 

[1954]

Maybe we have been targeting the dirt and not the broom, if kern does survive, which is unfortunately looking likely, plus he obviously has a hide even thicker than his limited brain capacity, we need Stickerman to put up Sack Koch signs in prominent locations on Port road, and people like Loony and his mate Dirty (kudos guys) to wear, or hold up similar signs at the Showdown.

Allkok and no balls has got away with being the limpest wrister to ever hold the role of president of the once mighty PAFC for way too long now, and I strongly suspect the right amount of public pressure could see it become all too hard for the weak campaigner and his ginormous ego, and hopefully he would disappear back to Sydney forever.

One can only hope!

 

[malcheski]

Nah, I think he was genuinely flirting with the idea of making a move. He won't have the balls to do it now though.

Thing is, Koch is an ego man. If he walks back his comments now then any semblance of credibility he had as a Chairman evaporates. He went too far one way and its either him or Ken that goes and Koch will make sure it isn't him.

Hence why I hold out some hope Koch has the silver bullet of Alistair Clarkson already waiting in the wings. Hinkley isn't getting sacked now only for the club to embark on the arduous search for a replacement. Hinkley is only getting sacked now if there's a highly marketable, bankable replacement already tied down.

I feel like Koch can be convinced to get rid of Ken, but it will take more than one person to get rid of Koch. Cut Ken now, then move into the task of the rest of the board including Koch. In an ideal world, Clarkson could lead that charge, or at least put him in his place.

 

[DaTBird187]

I totally believe that Ken is extremely liked by the playing group.

Of course he is. Especially his inner circle of dog killers.

 

[DaTBird187]

Look, I know he buys a lot of hot chips, but carn.

 

[Saltiga]

WTF is going on!!! I've never witnessed such a media protection racket for a failed coach, seriously WTF!

If the players love him so much then why did they capitulate in the prelim, why do they have such a horrible record against top 8 teams and why are they in the bottom 6 this year?

If he doesn't leave this year then he'll certainly leave next year so either way the players will have to get used to life without him. If you love him so much then you should've won the phucking prelim!

The players and club as a whole don't have any respect for the supporters. I'm sick of the 'inside the 4 walls' insular behaviour.

 

[StrappingTape]

The problem is next year we'll have an easier draw and then they'll push for an extension as soon as we start say 4 - 1 after rolling a North, West Coast, Crows and Hawthorn. What we do know is that we already have no Premiership to worry about nor GF.

 

[Lefti93]

I just really hope that if he is moved on, and we aren't swift enough with Clarko and end up appointing a rookie coach, that the players aren't a bunch of petulant humans who won't buy into the new coach.

 

[Jojay]

He has no motivation. He's being rolled out with a script by his manager, who probably owes Ken's manager a favour or two.

It was like that 360 interview on Monday night. I can just imagine Hinkley's manager on the phone prior to him going on. Actually wouldn't surprise if Hinkley and Whateley choreographed the whole thing.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Rob Snowden’s mobile number is freely available on his website. So tempting…

Very accessible. Good guy and more than willing to chat.

Do it.

If it's Schofield that will be very popular with the players, particularly the younger ones.
