Opinion Sack Hinkley 6 - Kochblocked

By definition that makes him not a great coach full stop.

That was my point, is only great when teams are bad

There's a post about it on Facebook now. Bombard it.

P1ss off clown.

How disgusting is he. Worse than thundercloud and expat put together, imo

In my experience, not many of these "true believers" ever sat in a cold, windy Football Park with 13,000 other Port fans while the club was scratching and scraping for survival. Self-aggrandizing theatre goers, the lot of 'em.

Yes I was thinking this a couple of days ago - where did all these ****in happy clappers come from.

When I returned to Adelaide from almost 2 decades living outside the state and missing the 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, (1995 I was in town my late mother was near the end of her days), 1996, 1998 and 1999 flags, I went to 10 out of 11 home games in both 2011 and 2012 and sat thru the trash and freezing winters at Footy Park.

These theatre goers didn't turn up and didn't buy memberships. We were down to 29,092 and probably 10,000 of those were Category 1 Footy Park members where both the crows and Port got paid $130 per adult (less for concession and kids) from the SANFL as they got access to 22 games and th SANFL paid the same $$$ across to the clubs that the AFL paid to the clubs when an AFL member ticked a club support box. So we had approx 22,000 real true Port members in 2010 using the 70/30 type split. Next year is was 32,581 so 25,000 real true Port members.

As someone on here reminded me a few months ago, at the March 2019 Club 1870 event Richo said that we are 3,000 members down on the same time last year and most of them were there in 2011 and 2012. Richo asked me how do we get them back. I said we have to be 4-0 or 5-0 and then you have a chance to get them back.

Next year its gonna be a lot more than 3,000 and it will have to be 12-0 and then do something in late September to get them back.

I don’t normally drink on a week night, but I have just finished my third glass of wine and it isn’t even 8pm.

Hinkley is a great coach when he is against bottom 8 clubs.

This would be fine if he was coaching in a league with 9 or 10 teams, like the SANFL. Head coach of a state-league side is about as high as pond life like Hinkley should ever have been permitted to rise in the first place.

I loved this club. I love the game. I've never for an instant considered abandoning my allegiances, much less switching them. Until tonight.

It feels like my club has been murdered, and the killer is now waltzing around Allan Scott Power Headquarters wearing the club's skin as a suit. How can I support that? How can anyone support that?

This is ****ing ridiculous. The pass mark for this season was a grand final.

We're ****ing 12th and could slide below Adelaide.

I do recall him going dog-walking with Elspeth if that's any help. There's also the option of working with Magpiespowaz in documenting the social history of the Gawler line, now it has its new electric trains...

Wasn't it Elspeth he was walking?

“Some will argue we should make a change based on our performances this season alone and that Ken has never taken the team to a Grand Final,” Mr Koch continued.

For a club that “exists to win premierships” wanting change after 10 years of the same coach and no grand finals seems like a reasonable thing to request.

This is our president ladies and gentlemen

 

[portly]

Most Ken Hinkley Football Club supporters are 50+ years old. Just look at the ones who post here or on Twitter.

Don't be silly.

Burning my guernseys after the showdown and mentioning these pricks by name in my video

Go wine

One positive - we won't need the bespoke cabinet commissioned to hold our three premiership cups in five seasons.

The bespoke cabinet has been built and is in place in the museum - with 3 empty sections ready to hold those cups!!

Sums up the Koch/Hinkley era perfectly - empty space where success was promised - and right there so everyone and their dog can look at it and laugh

 

[pastmyprimus]

Imagine having an expectation to wear the PBs again with Koch as chairman. Collingwood know that Koch is a push-over

 

[Schulzenfest]

It's all about the millennials now. They're just waiting out all the true die hards to kick the bucket. It's a numbers/ waiting game.
Hell how many Port people have passed in the last decade and have gone to their grave with you know who as coach? Poor souls

This is absolutely not true. Check the Facebook comments. Almost to a man the 'gO aNd sUpPoRt tHe tInGlEs' happy clappers would be in their 50's or higher.

 

[Del165198]

I hate them

thundercloud is not me lol, just trying to get him to lose his shit.

I'm sitting in the dark drinking Burgundy and abusive happy clappers on Facebook. What a time to be alive.

 

[Dylan8]

I've taken myself off auto-renew. Don't know what else could send a message. It's possible that living overseas next year I won't catch a minute of live Port Adelaide football, but what would I be missing out on anyway? It's miserable

Koch is weak as piss

 

[TeeKray]

Riewdoldt is another with a personal relationship with Hinkley FWIW - coached by him at St Kilda in 2001.
