How long do Kochie and Thomas wait?

[jeg01]

I couldn't agree with you more. If Hinkley must stay then let him finish out his original contract and get on with it, if he after 15 game has more losses than wins then he's out the door immediately (just like they did with Williams, who still had a year to run.) What is the point of having to pay out a two year contract if the team is going nowhere fast. But then again the media is Hinkley friendly he can do no wrong and it seems being bland beige and boring is more the media's type in this state especially as the Adelaide Football Club are the Darlings of News Corp whatever they achieve.

POTY...for squeezing in antideluvian

Too bad it's actually antediluvian - which means "before (ante) the deluge (deluvian)" and means "ridiculously old-fashioned".

Which is what I think of the idea of Trengove playing being the difference between winning and losing.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Piss Nicks, Greaves and Chris Davies off.

Get a football ops manager who actually knows what it takes to win premierships.

Voss should go too, but he won't.

In fact, none of them will go. Because everything is fine apparently.

Of course you can legally hold them to a contract, I'm not disputing that - but would you actually enforce that right if your head coach just told you that his preference is to head to another mob instead for the next four years? At that point you're probably going to want them out of your club and so the whole contract issue becomes moot. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Na, we're not here to do what's best for Ken. If we want him he'll be coaching us next year. I highly doubt Ken will shit the bed and want the security of a longer contract at GC. He'll back himself in to get an extension at port.

 

[ploppy]

Ken and Kochie seem to think Ken is on the right track and the players just need to do what there told for us to improve...this may be the case it may not..can ken get better or does he just need better help? or has he taken us as far as he can? its hard to tell from the outside but my guess is if don pyke or alistar clarkson had this list we would still be in the finals. i want us as a club to get more ruthless, cutthroat, get a do what ever takes attitude with recruiting, training and playing..and i dont mind if they bend the rules to do it.

 

[PowerBaz]

If Ken is wanting to stay you'd think it would all be sorted soon.

Easy error to make though

Okay, yeah unfortunately Russell just couldn't get them up for finals. Although that 1987 final against the Bays where we hit the post 5 times still burns.

Although if John Cahill hadn't been available, I doubt Port would have moved on Russell. It was messy enough as it was even to get Jack back.

Footy gods made it hard for Russell. I recall Bruce Abba hitting the post flush in the dying stages of the 86 first semi against Woodville.

Yep, from 5 meters out.

Trent Hentschel in the firing line too surely.

Performance didn't return to 2014 levels either.

Edit: that said, it's refreshing to know that the club actually recognises the correlation!

It is a strange one. We keep being told Port people know their footy and you can't piss in a Port fan's pocket, etc, but the 'we won the same amount of games as 2014' angle runs counter to that.

In microcosm:

The worst Hawks side in recent memory goes into halftime having kicked their lowest score ever, and despite looking down the barrel of a historical munting, proceed to outscore us in the second half while we lairise, butcher the ball and have our structures completely breakdown like a bunch of frontrunning dickheads.

The likes of Rucci are all over it in the post-match. Did the second half concern you? Do you feel you undid all your good work? Ken doesn't want to hear it. I only want to focus on the first half where we played great footy, etc.

9 days later we face Essendon in Melbourne as overwhelming favourites, and wouldn't you know it, we start that game exactly like we ended the last one, finding ourselves 7 goals down in the blink of an eye en route to a 12-goal flogging.

Now maybe Ken completely contradicted himself behind closed doors after the Hawks game, read the riot act and embarrassed a few blokes shortcuts in film study. Then maybe he didn't. But I don't know what's worse, the club's duplicitous "THIS IS FINE.jpg" signalling to the public or that Ken really was happy with that muck and deluded himself and his players straight into an ambush the next week.

It all seems so naïve.

 

[Powerade 08]

People who are concerned with the administration of the club need to relax.

Why?

 

[TeeKray]

Why?

He only wanted to focus on the first half because the first half was his gameplan, when the players were doing what he wanted them to do. He wanted the conversation to be focused on the merits of his tactics and not on the flakiness of his players.

After the Essendon loss, Ken said it was an aberration and the players have been really consistent for the season, so he was prepared to give them a pass for their horrible performance.

After the Showdown, it was perfectly clear that the playing group didn't actually trust the gameplan at all, which is why we made wholesale changes and went with a new 'best 22'.

Once is a mistake.

Twice is a choice.

 

[Duck Farmer]

The year was only a pass because the only goal was to make finals. Be interested to know what next year's pass mark is going to be.

A bit worried that we'll settle for entering the last few rounds still in finals contention and a return of Kickin' for Chicken.

 

[Duck Farmer]

KT said that the 3 K's want to stay together and are very close.

I remember the good ole days not so long ago when this meant Kamry Krows Korporation.

Hinkley definitely deserves next year. Who is out there that is attainable and would be an upgrade?

And after their respective post match responses I would much rather Koch go than Hinkley.

 

[Jakksynn]

Hinkley deserves to see out his contract, but he hasn't earnt an extension yet.

Another fluff article:

GOLD Coast will start interviewing candidates for its vacant senior coach position in Melbourne this week amid the growing likelihood Ken Hinkley will be approached by the Suns.

However, it is believed Gold Coast will still contact the 50-year-old's management as part of its search.

I cried after that.

I mean woodville?


Woodville!!!!!
