Opinion Sack Hinkley 10 - UnTENable

Remove this Banner Ad

Man I accidentally got in to it with Collingwood person the other day who said Dixon was right to call is all idiots because we don't realise how good Hinkley is. When I said I'd be happy to have the flag Collingwood netted as a result of coach sacking and he can return to having Buckley coach his club, because he was a good coach considering the list he had, many chips were spit at me.

Yep they're all hypocrites

Bloke couldn’t even manage to find an ironed shirt to go on camera and pay tribute to Travis. Slob.

This whole package made me puke by the way, how sad is it that the club is seemingly happy to make Boak’s whole identity at the club revolve around the fact that “he didn’t go to Geelong 12 years ago”. Pathetic.
I mean someone has clearly ducked up to West Lakes mall to buy him a new t-shirt to change out from the one he had on with cheese toastie and coke zero stains. They just didn't have a chance to iron it from how it was folded on display

Definitely reeks of an inferiority complex
 
No mention of 11 other clubs appearing in Grand Finals since he began coaching?
& most of these clubs finishing below Port in 2014. It's a bloody disgrace when you analyse what's happened post 2014 in terms of GF appearances & Flags. But media don't run with this coz they're too lazy & too disinterested.
 


He’ll agree to be in a bullshit video like this, but won’t let Darren Cahill in the coaches box, accept the olive branch from Tredrea or get a goalkicking specialist in.

Weird bloke.

Because the last 3 scenarios threaten him. His behaviour is actually very consistent. Has been since 2015.

Let’s recap the cavalcade of current and former media voices who happily form a phalanx of human shields around Hinkley:

• Kane Cornes (owes his ‘300 games’ title to Ken; also employs his brother);

• Gerard Whateley (boyhood Geelong fan when Ken was in his pomp as a player, and middle-aged Cats fan when assistant coach Ken helped deliver the 2007 droughtbreaker);

• Dwayne Russell (former teammate);

• Ross Lyon (former teammate);

• Paul Roos (former teammate);

• Malcolm Blight (coached him; part of his coaching tree);

• Michelangelo Rucci (embedded access, pro-bono club historian and content creator);

• Graham Cornes (see Kane);

• Caroline Wilson (provides access to her whenever she wants it);

• Campbell Brown (coached by him);

• Cam Mooney (coached by him);

• Cam Ling (coached by him);

• Steve Johnson (coached by him);

• Stephen Rowe (as an ex-Crow player and current ambassador, would happily have Ken in the opposing coaches box until the sun burns out);

No other coach in history has enjoyed such a shamelessly conflicted and deeply-layered ring of defences around his ongoing employment, to the point where serious scrutiny and criticism is practically non-existent — except of course for Warren Tredrea, who was casually pilloried by all and sundry as Voldemort (including the Chairman of Port Adelaide!) for declaring that 11 years without a Grand Final is too long.

Edit: shout-out David King as a rare source of dissent too, as he has no vested interest to bleach arseholes with his tongue like those above.

Glory be.

Caro is best mates and (ex) work colleague of his manager Peter Blucher. Blucher was 10 years with the Courier Mail (chief footy writer I believe.) Feeds his media mates.
 
The AFL reeks of bullshit, it's who you know, not what you know, Hinkley is a prime example.
The AFL is bullshit. When you finally wake up to this it's both liberating and sad. A game you have watched and adored your whole life now nothing much than a ridiculous pantomime.

Watched 3 halves of footy this year. Unimaginable in years gone by. Can not stomach football shows any more either. "The Footy Industry", bunch of back scratching mostly dumbarse amateurs who think they are way more important than they are, living in their little warped narrow "footy world". Complete campaigners. Even The Front Bar was switched off by the second ad brake. It's just the same ******* jokes....
