Opinion Sack Hinkley 10 - UnTENable

Remove this Banner Ad

  1. Chad is a no hoper and wouldnt get a job anywhere else but a footy club. He is a water boy or runner. That's it.
  2. Richo has been there for 20 years and does not know what good looks like
  3. Daniel Norton is the same - just a pure fan boy.
  4. We have Hartlett and Lobbe as coaches FFS. Hammer is the poster boy of going missing when it mattered.
My point is the whole place stinks with no hopers who have had very little experience outside their own bubble.

Look at what the best do. They change it up, surround themselves with those that will challenge them or provide an alternative view, give others the power to influence areas in which they have strength (e.g., Chris Scott, McRae). The opposite happens at Port. Someone has a differing view or challenges the Ken status quo and they are gone (Schoey, Monty). Ken is so insecure, weak and lacking in talent, but because he plays the media well he has supporters. He is at cranbroune studying dogs in off season while Mcrae is at Harvard learning about leadership, Mitchell spends a week at Spurs with Postecoglu. For all his shortcomings he and the club do nothing to develop him. Its embarassing.
Successful sporting clubs go out and headhunt the best available person fir a given position. If that person isn't available they ruthlessly pinch them from other clubs.
Conversely, Port is about taking snowflakes who are just a part of the furniture and making a role for them somewhere.

We need a massive clean out. Hamish Hartlett as the magpies coach says it all, The dude could hardly co captain
 
Standing still in professional sport is death it's why the great clubs continue to head hunt for numerous positions even in the midst of success & go getter coaches further develop themselves in the off-season etc.

Kanes argument is dumb, this is Hinkleys list. The entire list has nearly changed over. It’s his job to develop players.

If Chris Scott or Kingsley (or any good coach) had our list we would be a top 4 team winning finals.

At this stage to suggest anything other than our coaching and game plan are responsible for our consistent failing is just moronic.
Our coach doesn't develop players. He destroys them in the end!

Port dominated Adelaide everywhere except scoring accuracy.
At no stage did I think we'd win after conceding 5 goals over the back in the first quarter. The next 2 quarters he went into full Hinkleyball mode and typically we got one goal in the last minute of the quarter but saved a humiliation. Then tried to pinch it but as usual fell short and they kicked away.

Now that review could be for 30 games over the years but nothing changes.

The podcast is worth listening to (at one point, Cornes accuses one listener of cowardice after the Port fan criticised Hinkley's coaching), but the number of rationalisations, excuses and fallacies in Cornes' arsenal is almost-impressive to witness.



Two weeks ago, Cornes was comparing Rozee, Butters and JHF to Judd, Cousins and Kerr.

Now they're "good-enough".
Kane is all over the shop there. he went from in the mix to out of the mix to they'd be good to coach to they've got no weapons so thats why kenny is a good coach.
 
FFS, BAU at Alberton. To even think anything would be different is ludicrous. The players don't feel pain after a loss. The coaches and administrators are in their ego cone of silence slinging sht at ungrateful supporters. Ken resumes stroking himself during his morning shower, impressed with the $8m he has unashamedly extracted from the club.

No one is listening. Just waiting for someone to finally call time. As no leadership at the club will drive any change.

What a pathetic organisation....
 
Has anyone from the regime faced the music today? I am sure the Social Media channels will be back to its modus operandi by tmw promoting a new merchandise range or telling us to have a meal at the Precint. Don’t want the pesky footy results getting in our way. The Rucci article reminding us of 2012 will probably be left until Monday.

Richo probably had breakfast with some mates scrolling through our angry post-match comments with tears of laughter in his eyes
