Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[rogerjames]

Anyone talking about the board sacking Koch has to remember that he picked the overwhelming majority of them.

Yes, we were told several times at this year's AGM that it was HIS board (to be fair though he was also implying that it wasn't the Afls).

Ken will be healing the sick soon.

"OMG ... I've been healed!"

It’s a miracle!!

Well fck me ... We Exist To Make Prelims.

Jonas, cassisi and current afl assistant coach Schofield touted as CD’s replacement? wtf.

Never take things too seriously, mate.

 

[GremioPower]

Looked at our W/L record excluding the close 0-12 pt games (which there is a degree of luck).

Excl finals
2024 16-7 less 6-1 = 10-6
2023 17-6 less 6-1 = 11-5
2022 10-12 less 2-7 = 8-5
2021 17-5 less 5-0 = 12-5
2020 14-3 less 2-0 = 12-3
2019 11-11 less 1-2 = 10-9
2018 12-10 less 3-4 = 9-6
2017 14-8 less 1-2 = 13-6
2016 10-12 less 0-3 = 10-9
2015 12-10 less 3-5 = 9-5
2014 14-8 less 2-5 = 12-3
2013 12-10 less 5-3 = 7-7

Taking out the close games,
2014 the high point, 2020 being the Covid year.
And every other year is almost a rinse and repeat (good but not great)

We want to win as a club, however….

If we lose another PF, how much longer…….?

This should be in the Ken Hinkley stats thread.

 

[justlookingaround]

I still don't care. I want the Hinkley's gone.

Interesting that when a coach or his enablers are in the media ‘he’s coaching next year’ - it’s a given and we’d look like w***ers to sack him.

On the other hand when Houston says I’m staying……

 

[Peninsula Boy]

At this stage it is just pure unadulterated pessimism mixed with a splash of hyperbole.

Yep.

 

[Mr Gor]

I am just rustled that any success Port has now is attributed to Hinkley. I want the wins and gf appearance but resent that Ken is lauded for it while his past shiteness is memory-holed.

 

[Us against the rest]

Hope we go all the way because if we don't how are we are all going to feel, a failed preliminary final or GF. This we should have all know to well, we are silly people listening to people that give us hope that it's his last year.
History and insight into the weak gutless people running our club, should have been ample information we needed, to know they would never part ways with a contracted coach.

Anyway hope we win the lot, we deserve something to feel good about after all these years.

They have plenty of happy Clappers that just pay and go and don't hold the club to any standards, they don't need die hards like me, they've made that quite clear that we are some sort of splinter group. Called the white noise.

I wish I had a crystal ball, I would have stopped supporting this mob when they sacked Primus, well at least I saw the Magpies at their best and a brilliant premiership by a man that loved Port Adelaide and never forgot the fans, thanks Choco Williams, a real Port man.

It's because Port Adelaide is essentially run by the AFL.

 

[tribey]

THis is not the time to go with this narrative. Hinkley is here to stay for now, like it or loathe it. There is a prelim to win, and supporters supporting would be awesome right now. Leave your gripes for after the next loss.

It's not only this, it's the way he plays up to it. When have you ever heard Hinkley, after a win, make a point of highlighting his support staff/assistant coaches? He doesn't. It's all him. Even Mark Williams, as crazy as he was, ALWAYS made a point of singling out all of his assistant coaches for high praise in post win press conferences as the club was marching towards a premiership. Not this guy.

And yet, when there is a humiliating defeat, he is just the figurehead.

Sorry for my late attendance. May I wholeheartedly apologise for my clubs pitiful performance enabling the orc like man child to retain his job for the foreseeable future. Words cannot express my disappointment best of luck for expediting this worthy cause.

He's still our coach because your last shot at goal went a few cms to the left, ****ing crazy hey, that his job has been saved by a poster.

 

[philreich]

I'm getting to the stage where I wouldn't be surprised if they give him another 1 year extension because he couldn't possibly coach out the final year of his contract, the pressure wouldn't be fair.

Why is the focus always on poor Ken? What about the club as a whole, and what about the longsuffering fans, who have had to endure 2 decades of mediocrity?

 

[Rendaw]

The problem with Hinkley staying and being successful is that it likely means the club is unlikely to change its views towards fans. The continued attacks and gaslighting will continue and any hope for reconciliation is just gone forever

 

[Zorbasan]

Let him keep coaching, we are so well respected…..

Palmer bet want port to win. They know how motivating disrespectful social media messages are.

If Hinkley becomes successful you’ll need to leave Adelaide fast.
He’ll be hailed as the messiah, you won’t be able to turn on the tv without seeing him.
It would be so Adelaide to do this.

 

[Chewy316]

Just something to remind everyone about Robbo's report on Monday in the Herald Sun: he clarified his article on 360 that night saying that you can "take it to the bank" that Hinkley would be at Port in 2025, only to follow it up by acknowledging the last time he told the public to "take it to the bank" his report turned out to be incorrect.

And his comments to Jake Niall at The Age left plenty of wiggle room depending on how Friday night goes.

Horrible timing, yes, but about as definitive as Houston saying he's not going anywhere.

Also worth noting neither Caro or Tom Morris have had anything to say about these reports - and they're as dialled in as anyone in footy about the Hinkley situation.

We will have a much clearer picture of the landscape at around 10pm Friday night.

On the other hand when Houston says I’m staying……

What we need is the same 8 clubs to make the top 8 for 8-10 years in a row and they all keep their coach for that time.
And the bottom half all change their coach on a merry go round every 2 years.
