Gonna have to fight Carlton for him though.

you'd have to be ****ing stupid to go and give failed coaches in this climate

 

[Doctor Feel]

Even after that, Essendons percentage better than Geelongs.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Do you reckon they fired up the voluntary assisted dying machine after half time?

 

[SparklingAle69]

How can one twin be a great coach and the other so crud? From memory they were very similar players. Don't they talk to each other in private.

One coach walked into Geelong, the other walked into North and Essendon.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I mean it looks like the Essendon Scott also got the ugly stick over the Geelong scott.

 

[SparklingAle69]

One coach walked into Geelong, the other walked into North and Essendon.

He won a flag first off but managed another 10 years later so you can't use the walked into it for the second one. We could only dream of that for Port.

With Ess, Carl, WC, NM, Melb, Rich… we are still considered bottom 4 by AFL “experts”.

Dees kind of looked half decent in pre season. It wouldnt shock me if they surprised people this year and nabbed a wc spot.

 

[240volt]

I think some rate us as bottom 4 not all.
I even heard Ken say if we have a good run of injuries he expected us to finish in the 6-10 range and that’s most probably above the average that people here think.

I'd love to know what this is based on. Pretty much everything that could go wrong last year did go wrong, and we had a dead man walking coach who'd already checked out, and Jordy Hinkley doing the forward plans. Still weren't bottom 4.

I mean I know what it's based on. Kerny stinkers is a master coach genius who's been propping up a widdle battler pissant club for the last decade, who would have finished with 8 wooden spoons if not for his genius idiot savant mind.

Essendon, Carlton, possibly NMelb, can fight for king Ken can’t they?

I’m disappointed. The only side I really wish Ken on is the Crows. The likely sides to target him are just sad.

 

[KanesBurner]

Was it Jarryd Roughead who couldn't get that deal done? And now he's replaced Justin Reid at the crows, another guy who couldn't get deals done.

He was the player acquisition manager - Trade and FA (according to google) so I’d assume so.

Don’t know if it’s a good thing the deal fell through and the Hawks stood their ground or a bad thing because they have obviously given some firm guarantees he/they’d get it done.

He'd probably be good for those sides. His skill set is making a really weak side competitive. The problem is he is also a manipulative parasite if you let him in. So he suits a strong club who can get that first couple of years boost then turf him. Blues and Dons could be a good match.

Ken Hinkley’s skill set is making a very strong side competitive.

That’s what he did here.

We should’ve been much more than competitive.

Watch him get picked up by Essendon or Carlton and then elevated to immortal status whilst achieving nothing.

Like how Rodney Eade achieved nothing.

Essendon would be so enamoured with him if he got them into the finals they'd go full Koch and give him 13 years.

Even Essendon or Carlton would realise they would like to win one in a while, and if he hasn't matched or bettered his second season after like 7 more seasons, they'd sack him.

The Essendon and Carlton’s are gifted prime time slots regardless of how rubbish they are.

They can make calculated decisions to bottom out if needed. Unlike Port, who are shafted regardless.

Ken for a couple of years wouldn’t hurt them. Also won’t win a premiership either.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Ken Hinkley's skill set is convincing the world that he has a skill set.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

What was that? Still being shit?

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Here's another one. Oh boy.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Here's another one. Oh boy.

He obviously had it marked as a red game.

He's as much of a loser as Ken.

 

[Visenfest]

Here's another one. Oh boy.

TBH I don't mind a coach acknowledging they were shit and he thought they would be. The players need to understand that what they're dishing up isn't acceptable. It's what Brad Scott does next that matters though - he has to be able to change the mentality of the players. Not sure if he's capable of doing that though.
