A boon for all the "True Believers" who don't actually go to the games or buy merch but post non stop on the FB account.

the two aren't mutually exclusive, you can hold a sign about the coach whilst also cheering every time robbie gets the ball and giving him a send off at the end

Nah, Hinkley sees dollar signs everywhere. He'll be knocking up COA's and putting it all on ebay.

There may be more to play out in the silly season, but if port are stuck with Hinkley in 2023 then From day 1 of preseason it is up to we the members to put pressure on Hinkley and the club. Turning up with signs, pitch forks etc at all events and open training sessions. Protests at Alberton etc. The pressure needs to be heaped on ken, Koch, Ricoh and the board. It is time that we stood together and take our beloved club back.

I know there's a lot of change needed at the Club, but I think the photocopiers are the least of our worries .

Clarkson isn't stupid, nobody could fix Essendon. He's much better off building around the young players at North.

Getting rolled in Robbie's goodbye game in a showdown would be the shiticing on the shitcake of Hinkley's tenure. I don't know if I could survive us putting in a disgraceful performance in another commemorative game this year. With everything else that's happened this season with Collingwood, North, GWS and Essendon, with coaches that have had far less time to deliver than Ken, with less talent....

I can't see how anything less than a Premiership can result in anything that looks like a win for us next year. If it's truly the money, then the people that extended him need to be held accountable. If we don't win a premiership next season, what are we even doing?

Clarkson would have already signed with North if he really wanted to coach them.

Hinkley is incapable of coaching a team to a preliminary final win let alone win a premiership. 2023 is going to be a complete write off and financially detrimental to the club.

Maybe Robbie agrees and would like to see some 'SACK HINKLEY' signs..

You can say the same for Essendon.

 

[gbear]

Seeing the at Essendon haven’t exactly sacked their coach yet no you can’t.

So has Rutten actually been sacked?

I think that may be a bridge too far.

 

[PatientMental]

So has Rutten actually been sacked?

No.

But no one in the media is saying he won't be sacked.

 

[gbear]

So has Rutten actually been sacked?

Not at this point. Essendon probably hoping he resigns.

Nice try by Kenny's manager Peter Blucher to garner GWS' fake interest in Donuts.

You seem surprised. His manager, Ken and Kane are pond scum at best!

Nothing would surprise me where Blucher and Hinkley are concerned.

He's as good as gone for sure.

I agree. But factor in the media's reaction, because there will be one. They're not going to also report your cheering for Robbie that for sure.
Is not the best course of action to get as many supporters / members on board as possible without alienating the those same people ?
I prefer to pick appropriate times to fight and gain support rather than score a point that will be discredited by many because of a (perceived) lack of respect.

There is a time and place for all things. IMO, Saturday is Robbie's time.
