Scape Goat I've lost my faith in Ken Hinkley Part 3

[PowerBaz]

We lose next week and season almost done - this thread will get a workout.

Okay. Let me know when that happens.

It’s not going to happen, which is the point - people seem to believe that SANFL performances automatically equate to AFL ones. Player X has a better game than Player Y, so it must mean that Player X should be called up.

But what they fail to realise is that while Player Y’s performance is down and Player X is dominating, Player Y might be playing the better football that would translate to AFL - getting to contests, making good position, keeping width and providing options.

These are things that only the coaching staff would be able to evaluate because only they know what they are expecting players to do in every situation. It’s why the only time I care about selection is when a player who has proven to be soft at the contest gets multiple games without correcting it.

I cant decide if it's fun or depressing to watch these newbies come in with hope and positivity only to slowly crash into reality as the board shares with them the facts.

i have decided to watch the women's Football World Cup.... switched off AFL for now. After 2-3 weeks if Port is still in contention - i 'll switch back on.

Matildas lost 2-1

I think it’s a tough balance. Not many coaches are going to be successful within 4-5 years, ...

Off the top of my head:

Blight
Choco
Roos
Worsfold
Clarkson
Scott
Longmire
Beveridge

So I think a fair % of recent coaches have achieved a flag within 5 seasons.

That sounds like a bullshit hinkley excuse to get johnson back in.

What the hell does "getting a read on the competition is really difficult" mean? " if you're not up and about, you can be on the end of a loss?" I'm dumber for reading that rubbish.

It's called - I've got nothing informative to say

 

[rogerjames]

Is it me you’re looking for?

Luv it. My first laugh for the day.

Do we need this thread anymore with the "Sack Hinkley" thread?

i think we need at least a dozen sack hinkley threads

 

[Schulzenfest]

Whenever a thread isn't about sacking Hinkley, all the posters should be asking "where are the calls to sack Hinkley?"

On the other hand, if Player Z is struggling to run out the match in the SANFL, they’re not ready for AFL.
And if Player Q is doing everything asked of them in SANFL but still not getting picked ahead of Players R, S, T & U spudding it up in the AFL, it gets harder to justify.

I'm hoping we win the next 12 games for the year and this thread doesn't make it to 100 pages.
I can dream too!

Has the faith been lost again given the failure to back up last week's great win?

The faith was lost around 2016. Even the shittest coaches win some games.

I actually wonder about Ken's mental well being with some of his comments in pressers and decisions lately even for Ken's usual illogical coaching etc.
