Toast I have faith in Ken Hinkley

[Papa G]

I'm saying, Ken is under enormous pressure and with adrenaline flowing, he made a Big Statement, that I don't think stacks up with the facts.

Yep. It shows Ken had no ****ing idea what was going to happen on Saturday. It was all hope.

You want to connect to the 6 players playing for the club for the first time fast?
You say that what we all just did is the best thing ever.

Ken clarified the statement in the press conference, didn't he? He has some great wins with us, fewer than everyone (including Hinkley) would have liked, but this one has happened exactly like it was planned — even having 6 newcomers, with 4 of them playing their first AFL game, away, at the MCG, against a flag contender, and on the first game after a late-season shamefully historical debacle.

On Hinkley being emotional, in his interviews, I always have the impression that he ends up toning down the relevance of the subject at hand — even when he uses hyperbole. For instance, on the game, he said that it was his best win ever, but he also said that we shouldn't get carried away, because it was only one game. It was the best win ever, alright; but it is far from enough.

Most of all, it was our last win. In the end, Hinkley has simply paraphrased Madonna: "the best sex I ever had was yesterday's."

I'm sure already mentioned, but Ken's now 6-1 in round 1 games. Has an ability to build this game up and get everyone going. The only loss was a tight one to a pretty good Freo in Perth in 2015.

Hopefully this one is a better indication of our year than the last 3.

Port board:

After a loss - 25 pages of discussion in the 'I've lost my faith in Ken Hinkley' thread.

After a win - what's a Ken Hinkley?

I know you’re just being an instigator but it’ll take more than one game to turn around attitudes after four years of flailing disappointment. Credit where it’s due though, some wrongs have been righted and you couldn’t ask for much more to this point. But optimism is wearing all the PPE it can get its hands on.

Ive never lost belief in the port adelaide football club. Significant changes have been made in the last 6 months. Early days, but the belief has been reinforced.

Pretty sure OGC means this one. Thanks Boss351. First 5 minutes is about Watts.

One of the more enlightening interview about what has happened re Ken for the last few years coming from KT.

That was a good interview, well worth a listen. Keith is another guy I've stuck up for at times. He is an absolute gem as far as I'm concerned.

I liked the part where all three of Voss Ken and Davies went overseas together on the course and are all on the same page and have implemented a lot of the stuff already with the players.

Should have happened years ago.

Clarko has been doing it since day 1, as I wrote last week quoting his 2012/13 preseason trip from the article he wrote on the Hawks website. Buckley and Simpson have been going for 4 or 5 years as discussed during last years GF coverage. Think they ended up at the same course one year.

Also the bit about Kenny being a very smart coach and about him learning to now delegate and let go a bit so he can concentrate on one of his biggest strengths, which is one on one with the players, like in his first couple of years.

That's basically what the famous 2006 Geelong Review said about Thompson. Take stuff away from him that he doesn't have to do ( they appointed Balme as their Footy Ops Manager after the Review) and let him concentrate on what he does best, teach players one on one.

Ken, Voss and CD are all aligned.

It’s the exact opposite to what’s happening at West Lakes right now.

I don’t suppose you will expand on this?

Yep we won good on Saturday but whether my opinion of Ken has changed or not is irrelevant.
He's a sideshow to me now. If he keeps the players happy with his long storied people skills
then zippity do dah. If the club's handed the baton so others can conduct the orchestra fine.
Ken can handle the microphone, the PR hype and massage the message. I have faith in him doing that.
As welcome as Saturday was imo you'd be hard pressed to find his fingerprints on the result.

Janus and his seven seals has reminded me that there's this yanky nut that gets around town, looks a little like Robert Patrick, reminds me a bit of Janus (long monologues about things, religion in his case, underpinned by quotes from 80s movies), anyway turns out he was part of that Waco cult and he fled to here of all places, after the siege.

Hey GP, in this instance the plural form of hyperbole is without the "s." So ... " — even when he uses hyperbole."

You can use the plural form hyperboles, but that would be only in specific instances when you want to use it as a collective noun. E.g., If you were talking about various types of, or a group of, hyperboles.

People hate grammar Nazis around here, but being as English is your second language, and very well used used I might add, I thought you might want to know. If you don't, apologies, and simply discard!

I will say this again, but I believe Hinkley has the baton. Hinkley would be a conductor that is at his best supervising and only personally intervening when necessary through direct conversations. Still, that's a matter of style.

In this analogy: Davies hires the musicians; Voss selects the playlist; Bassett, Schofield, and Montgomery make sure the musicians understood what should be done and that the instruments are fitting and ready to be played; and Wines and Jonas share "first violinist" duties. The conductor, however, is Hinkley. He is the one who ultimately sets the tune of the songs for the orchestra as a whole and is responsible for the final result.

That why last year's failure was on Hinkley. It doesn't matter Nicks and Lade have failed him, because he is the boss...

I love Grammar Police! Feel free to correct me any time.

I have fixed my post. Thanks!

That probably sums it well. I reckon Hinkly is a very good "conductor," but the last few years he has wanted to write the music, buy and tune the instruments, and then decided that the violinist should play brass!!!
