Certified Legendary Thread Sack(ed) Hinkley 15 - The End

[Schulzenfest]

Whilst I agree it was well overdue for a change and I'm glad Hinkley is gone and the place is feeling good again



The players are always going to say the change is good. They're hardly going to say that they miss the old regime/game style in the same way they were always going to back Hinkley when he was coach

"We're enjoying the fresh new regime" is one thing, of course he's going to say that. He didn't have to say "
we had grown stale under Hinkley though. Just like Hartlett could've said "under Josh it feels like our ideas are being listened to" without going further to say it used to be Ken's way or the highway.

It's back to why people got pissed off at Charlie Dixon for shitting on the fans in his defence of Hinkley. Of course any media trained player is going to say whatever's happening now is good. It's when they go on to actively push back against the other side of the argument, even when doing so makes another aspect of the club look bad, when you go on to think that these are there actual thoughts, not just media training.

I think you're under estimating the media training
What does the club really lose by putting mayo on any situation

How is it anything but a negative for David Koch and Matthew Richardson for our most experienced and most decorated current player to come out and say that we had grown "stale" under the old regime? While the old regime is finally done, aside from Chris Davies the people responsible for maintaining that old regime are all very much still at the club. Ollie's words make those two and the board look ****ing terrible.

Because they don't care about the past or expectations
That's clear, it's all about hope and the future

 

[Sheeds]

I must admit I have been a little concerned with the form of the 36ers lately. Going to need a huge turnaround to get the team performing at their best when it matters most in finals.

Thankfully, they have the man for the job ready to pass on his insights and pearls of wisdom.

My son is playing for Goodwood this season. They're having their season launch on Friday, March 20 - the guest speaker is none other than Ken Hinkley!!!! As much as I want to support my young fella in his footy, there are limits........

Guest "SPEAKER". Hope the attendees are fluent in gibberish.

If the club's media training directives are to push the message that "hey that coach who our still current Chairman and still current CEO kept employed for 13 years sure did suck, right?", then it's terrible media training.

It's more talk about Carr and the new regime as much as we you want
They simply don't care about the past failings

They simply don't care about the past failings

Which is terrible media training when the people largely responsible for the past failings are still the two most powerful people at the club.

I'm not telling you whether you're right or wrong, I'm not inner sanctum so I don't know. What I'm saying is that if you're right, that's ****ing stupid.

I told a mate about it - he replied, "Wooden spoon incoming for Goodwood."

"Just put the ball in the bucket, that's essentially what I told Joel Selwood"

Yep and it was the first time I'm pretty sure that a player said that the poor coaching was not only aimed at last year but for the last few years.

It was subtle but quite damning.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Pretty clear they all stayed for each other and not stinkley

It's also plain as day that "We all love Kenny so much" was fake.

13 YEARS of Hinkley = absolute incompetence. Koch, Bitcho and the board are anti Port as demonstrated by their Hinkley supporting actions. Would love to meet any of this mob and absolutely abuse the fk out of them in person. Will never forget or forgive them for imposing a dead shit regime for so long.

 

[PJ Power]

The amount of core misinformation that our ‘die hard members’ believe as accepted lore would top a nationwide league table.

From Koch being responsible for Adelaide Oval, to the pick that nabbed Butters being part of the Wingard trade, to all manner of rubbish about the club being an existential minnow that only Ken Hinkley could revive, etc.

It’s extraordinary when you catalogue it.

I posted it last year and got a few dislikes, but to me the Koch-Hinkley-Davies-Richardson era was like MAGA propaganda. Lies, lies and more lies and half of the fan base lapped it up with no semblance of skepticism or questioning.

I agree with you on this, but it does keep reminding me of that time genius coach Ken Hinkley saved our season after he had to pick up the pieces after terrible coaching had us starting the season 0 and 5.

The gaslighting is at the level they could literally go and dump manure all over Alberton just for the photo op showing them cleaning it up.

Had to LOL at the story of Ken discussing his philosophies with Mike Wells of the 36’ers some weeks back.

Shortly after that wisdom was imparted, the Sixers went on a 5 losses in 7 games death spiral.

They won last night, albeit unconvincingly, so perhaps they have discarded Yoda’s risk averse game day strategies, and gone back to what got them 4 games clear on top of the ladder again?

This around the time they started their 5 in a row losing streak?

I couldn't imagine Wells putting up with Hinkley's It's a tough competition blah blah mantra

This topic has to be mentioned at the AGM. All the players saying how fresh it is, the Hartlett comments the other week, then this. Would love to see Koch or Richo try and weasel their way out of explaining that

Part of my platform is to advocate for board term limits (even the Crows brought this in).

Greg Boulton was voted in by the Board each and every year. Is David Koch?

Assuming that is a rhetorical question as I'm sure you know that David Koch is an AFL appointee.

Only two members of our board are accountable to the members.
