An inspirational call to arms from the Master Coach.

Not taking into account his high failure rate & lack of success, Ken routinely comes across as the most banal, uninspiring, & dull coach of the entire competition.

hahaha far out.

form does count for showdowns, take away the last couple seasons where we've choked the favourite wins a very high percentage of these games. They are not 50/50 games that is a myth and a cop out.

We shouldn't be losing this game Ken. Under no circumstances. Pure and simple.

Nah we've got to be at our ABSOLUTE BEST JUST TO HAVE A CHANCE. WTF!!! They are 2 and 5 and 12th, but only our absolute best gives us any hope of beating them.

God he is so negative.

Does this idiot understand the fundamental difference between telling the truth and telling a lie? "Father figure" lol. "Great bloke" lol. "We don't take risks" lol.

By and large I think Ken is still in control of most things, sets the game-plan, rules selection etc.....though he does seem to have limited game-day responsibilities, and I do think there seems to be a handover of sorts going on atm. There's too much smoke with it not to be fire.

Much like Ken, and his visible lack of passion for the role now, I also find myself just going through the motions these days watching Port, I'm not invested anymore and not on a journey anymore. Once a new coach comes in, even a loss will be more entertaining for me, I'll be back on the journey, for good or bad.

However that's predicated on genuine change, I'm still ok with Carr taking the reigns and seeing what he actually has to offer, provided though that he gets the keys properly, gets to choose and bring in his own personnel, fitness staff, assistants etc. People above and below have to make way and allow a freshen up, new ideas, new strategies.

If the club thinks they can throw us white noise some crumbs and change head coach but keep the rest exactly the same they can get stuffed.

I keep hearing people in the media referring to Koch / Ken and the program as "successful".......what exactly is successful about 12 years with 0 gfs?

You have to remember that Koch labelled 2023 a successful year, because of the 13 straight wins. The club's definition of success is now about as weak as Stephen Rowe's attempt at humour .

You have to turn up to a game to turn up and then turn up to win and turn up.

“You have to turn up and be at your absolute best to give yourself a chance to win the game”

Are we playing Jordan’s Bulls in Chicago? Or Waugh’s Australians at the Gabba?

Port’s absolute best beats this mob’s absolute best by 10 goals with one leg in the air.

Or he's suffering from CTE and is just clueless. A real possibility IMO given some of his Biden like pressers.

Ken wasn't exactly considered a hard nut as a player, was he? Where would his CTE come from, knocking himself in the head with roller shutters?

But you don't, man! You don't! We should be able to phone it in against this Adelaide team! If not this year then at least some of the years! Just play half decent footy to a half decent gameplan, and don't s**t the bed if they raise their intensity, and viola, regulation 7 goal win!

If you don't turn up, i'll turn up and if we don't turn up we'll turn up and turn up hardery for longery.

The trouble is he doesn't know how to get them to turn up and play at their very best!!!

"Stand my man I'm going to get a couple votes" .......Donuts the player what a team first player

That’s the galling thing.

If the Crows do that thing where a bunch of spuds can do no wrong — I still remember that one where Kyle Hartigan morphed into Franz Beckenbauer for an evening, or the one where Alex Keath (lol) actually won a Showdown Medal…

Ken won’t lament an inevitable tactical breakdown (ie. allowing Dawson free rein), or another strategic error of his BOMB IT TO CHARLIE!!11 gameplan, or pledge to get to the bottom of our cancerous set shot failings.

It’ll be endless drivel about working harder, and not working hard enough, and GODDA WERK HARDA.

 

[Doctor Feel]

My favorite part is where he says "we have to turn up" and then we don't turn up. Classic lovable Keninly.

Or when we turn up and go home at quarter time.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Pre-game presser: "We need to come to play."
Post-game presser: "Look, we didn't come to play."

Every damn time.

 

[Doctor Feel]

What the heck is he on about

 

[Doctor Feel]

Clearly, there is information.

 

[Contested Marx]

My god he is such a rube

 

[manureid]

But does have any numbers on it?

 

[TazD]

Clearly, there is information.

The man does not care lol

 

[tribey]

Clearly, there is information.

This leans into Phil’s CTE theory.

What a bizarre way to wheel out the cliche that ShOwDoWnS aRe 5o/5o!!1

 

[Doctor Feel]

He doesn't even really address what he means by take nothing for granted.

 

[Us against the rest]

I would assume it's bottom10Ken's game plan, selections, injury mismanagement, non moves, loser mentality. Josh rolls the ground balls in the warm up.

This is just typical of Hinkley, it's not a contract year for him so it doesn't matter, he will use all the excuses like injuries and being unlucky, expect a good year next year in his contract year as per usual.
