Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[AdamMarrett]

I could not spot Hinkley on the sidelines that entire last quarter, nor when the final siren sounded. I could not spot him with the other coaches walking across the oval.

He didn't leave the field with his assistants. The weak so-and-so high-tailed it almost as soon as the final siren sounded and was ushered down the race by a lone security guard within minutes of the final siren. Barely anyone noticed him leaving the field. No one will ever convince me that he didn't do that by design.

It was telling for me. I was seated near the race and saw him do it and exit the arena by himself. He played it to perfection to get off the field so no one would notice him. Josh Carr, Chad Cornes and the other assistants and staff left the field in a group a fair few minutes after him.

I think a crowd of under 30,000 for the final next week is very possible and also the best message to send that the supporter base is done with him. How does a coach even front up after another 10+ goal loss in a home final and how does his message possibly get through after that performance?

Add Rohan Connolly to the list of twats protecting Hinkers job.

We had an argument about him blaming it on players then he blocked me

 

[philreich]

Save the posts Koch will end up re-signing him tonight and we'll be back again for thread 12

If Koch re-signs him after that, then I'm done for good with this club.

 

[philreich]

Would you rather Kane, Gerard and Caro be right instead?

The most glaring fact here is that we've been right all along: it's been stated countless times in this thread and elsewhere that Hinkley will never win a flag, and that pitiful performance proved it once and for all.

ANY PEEPS????

Where are the Hater Hinkleys now? Got some real faces on eggs. Shouldnt boo!!

 

[Interstater]

There once was a rat from Camper
After finals losses he sure did scamper

Then he bitched and he moaned
Blamed all but his lone

And the media still did pamper

I think this might be it. Next week will be kernys last game

 

[EskimoPAFC]

He darted across ahead of the rest of the coaches and players with his head down as quickly as he could down the race.

So weird - why would he leave when his team was out on the ground celebrating a big away from home win?

He remembered it was his job to get the eskys full of Fosters Light Ice out.

She hates him and refuses to come to games until the dud is gone!

That’s proper education.

 

[Kenny_Powers]

Yeah I just absolutely loathe this "it's the players" angle the media keep running with.

After 12 seasons, multiple lists, the same issues keep arising. Blind freddy can see that whatever the constant is, is the issue.

If last night was an exception then you can maybe make that case that players bear responsibility, but last night is more the rule for us, and there's 1 person who's overseen it all time and time again.

Sack Hinkley 12 will be up later today.

Hinkley is basically the synonym for donuts.

Koch should be sacked with Ken. What a disgraceful, self indulged fool who has poured water down the Port fans, meanwhile protecting the company man whilst lying to the supporters he claims to serve.

The disconnect at your club is stark and it comes from the top. Kens a joke but the man employing him is even worse. He can stick to offering financial advise, clearly managing a business isn't his strength.

As for Ken, no words. How Mcintee, Esava, Narkle, Frank Evans and Dixon get games in 2024, let alone finals sums up your coach. Standards in the mud.

This guy has 51 posts. He joined BigFooty a bit more than a month ago. He barracks for Tasmania, which is yet to play a game in the AFL.

He already showed knowing more about Port than our Board of Directors and the Football Committee.

 

[Del165198]

I would like to know how it's possible a group of supposedly elite, competitive athletes just decides to give up at half time, being only 4 goals down?

There's must be some special kind of elite loser-ism being coached into them for that. I can't imagine any other finals club just giving up and not firing a shot, when the game is still there to be won.

Special stuff

 

[raptalia]

What does last night's debacle do to Hinkley's already deplorable finals record? Can someone please post the stats on Hinkley's finals record ?

 

[GremioPower]

Theres going to be an international search

Hinkley is basically the synonym for donuts.

And like Hinkley Point C, it's delivered none of what it promised - just budget blowouts and no power.

pretenders

When you are a professional bullsh*tter, “pretender” is all that you aspire to be.

 

[GremioPower]

the Footy Committee. This consists of Richo, Cardone, Cassisi, Snowdon, Tredrea, Cripps and CD

I’m in pain every time I see this written out.

 

[supahoops]

My point exactly.
Imagine going to through a lifetime of schooling having the same teacher.
That shyte only happens in places like Nth Korea..

And Geelong..

 

[GremioPower]

his credit, he leaves footy decisions to be made by footy people

He doesn’t know who is “footy people”!

 

[GremioPower]

There is no reasonable argument that can be made for Hinkley coaching the semi final after a 14 goal loss in a home EF, his 4th bad finals loss in a row.

But, then again, how many "there is no reasonable argument that can be made for Hinkley coaching... after..." have we already been through, and, yet, here we are.
