Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[gbear]

Just do it now then.

We know they care about financials and you'd get 50k supporters at the ground sold out by Tuesday rather than what will end up being 30k supporters there with half price tickets next week

Lets be honest they will be giving tickets away next week to get 20k

Pardon the intrusion but just want to say I admire the passion of those of you wanting better for your club - keep fighting the good fight.

My NRL club has gone through a similar period with a fraud of a coach who gets contract extension after extension for achieving **** all and has squandered talent for more than a decade. Our fanbase is sadly dominated by the ‘ItS NoT ThE CoAcH MiSsInG TaCkLeS’ type of mouth breathing campaigners who tirelessly defend the indefensible. We also have an unimpeachable board (club ‘members’ get zero input and can’t vote on directors etc) which is accountable to nobody but themselves. Just this year, despite a contract to 2025, we extended the ****ing guy for FOUR more ****ing years because we won a handful of games - not surprisingly after that we got regularly pumped all season and missed out on the finals.

I genuinely get how tiresome it is watching a coach and board continually let down supporters - maintain the rage and never let the coach/board defending flogs forget that they willingly enabled weakening your club.

I come in peace.

Genuine question, but is there any danger of Kochie shutting his mouth before a ball has even been bounced in the finals series? He sets himself and the club up for failure every year.

It’s honestly like the words of reassurance and positivity are to compensate for his actual feelings of fear of what might happen.

Umm no there isn't. Please feel free to visit our kochie thread. It doesn't however have 11 iterations through!

Not here to troll, legit question. Is Rozee’s captaincy a Hinkley special? I know there’s a lot of talk he has his favourites, and Rozee seemed (and still seems) too young and not ready to be captain. I’d have thought Houston.

Carr sat back and let the disjointed mess happen at half time when everyone was sparse in the review room. Carr oversaw the midfield that got annihilated tonight.

Please can we ****ing not appoint anyone who has been part of this ****ery.

Will get the other 10k from Hawks supporters will come by the boatload smelling blood

36% win/loss ratio in finals for bottom 10 Ken

You'd just love to play under him

It is indeed. Just watch his draft video; it shows that his appointment has Hinkley's fingerprints all over it!

 

[tribey]

Lol the footage of the port players at half time all sparse and sitting apart in briefing room.

Cats players tightly packed in.

Culture.

Yep a handover to the bloke who let what should be the best midfield in the competition get their pants pulled down by 2024 Geelong is not the answer.

Still at least he's not Hinkley

Just a safe choice. Coming off an AA year, good looking local boy that just signed a big contract (length and salary).

Uninspiring choice and yet to stand up and put the team on his back when it matters.

Also low key looking like Skeletor rn.

I guess it will help the state financially though.

Your historical standing is in one ****ing state. You’ve literally been in this comp for 27 years and were in such significant debt that the afl had to step in.

Don’t blame an afl controlled board on the pea hearted efforts of your onfield leaders.

Actually wait I missed the crux of what I wanted to say. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “the fish rots from the head”. Our board isn’t answerable to the members who pay their hard earned money to support the club. There’s no reason to appease us because they don’t need to rely on our votes. Therefore there’s no reason to make the big calls.
Then it flows down to the coach, the urgency isn’t on him because the board have no reason to take action on the issue. This same coach has been the only head coach most players on our list have played under at AFL level. You don’t reckon that rot that started with an AFL elected board has seeped down to the on field leaders who you’ve admitted are poor in these situations? You just saw it!
It’s so easy to say “you can’t blame the fact you have an AFL elected board” when you quite literally don’t have to experience what supporting a team in that situation is like and knowing there’s no reason to have hope in your club for your entire lifetime.
Or maybe you do know what that’s like being a North fan, but then I have to ask, where’s the ****ing empathy?

Hope Enoch Blaze and Expat loved that one. A win for the true believers!

Enoch needs to get down to The Precinct to renew his faith in what the club is doing

Yeah some of us thought the same

Never any danger of Koch shutting his stinking piehole, friend.

 

[Bay62]

Did he really say he’s “only the figure head”??

Take another look at your pay slip Ken. I think you’re being paid to do more than just be a figure head

 

[Pacifo]

Classic campaigner Ken

 

[Kenny_Powers]

Think I'm just about done with attending games with this fraud as coach.

As predictable as the sun rising, Ken gets the boys up for a big game

Ken’s got a knack for doing this too, we all remember the “July’s a good time to be ranked number one” comment last year regarding Collingwood. The two of them have this weird arrogance for a couple of hacks who’ve achieved nothing in their time, and maybe it’s because too much of our fanbase believes they did a lot.
For reference they had no part in the one club merger, jumper rebrand or the move to Adelaide Oval, nor the drafting of culture setters like Boak and Trengove.

My youngest, who is 11, has never known another Port coach in her life.

My point exactly.
Imagine going to through a lifetime of schooling having the same teacher.
That shyte only happens in places like Nth Korea..
