Unofficial Preview Sack Hinkley

[Iwish]

Operation get Clarko

The afl would be ok for us to pay Ken out 2 years if it meant we replace him with clarkson. But I think it's a pipe dream he seems committed to the hawks

He will get bored with the Hawks if they don’t perform.. he will know when to leave a sinking ship like when he left Port

I wonder if KT and Koch still feel the same way now.

I'll play devil's advocate on Thomas - I wouldn't want to be in the position of having a pain-in-the-arse president mouthing off in the media and a senior coach threatening to walk with a major sponsor about to walk and needing to give an air of stability.

Right decision? Probably not, but hindsight is 20/20.

If Gupta comes up with the cash to pay him out the AFL can please themselves.

I only want a coach that WANTS to be with Port Adelaide, just saying "let's get Clarko" doesn't mean he'll make an impact unless he wants to coach Port on his own initiative, and I don't think he does. The best coaches are the ones that have dedication to their clubs, and even if we got Clarko he would take too long to adjust to our club, he's been with the Hawks for 15+ years.

Why do you support Hinkley, then?

Fact is that, as ever, coaching is a job.

At his core, there was a time Hinkley wanted out. The reasons why are what? Kochie? Loss of fire? Likes the gold coast more? Whatever they are he wanted out and that should have excluded him from a juicy extension.

We move on. The fact is that whoever is hired will want to be at Port because its a job either as a promotion, or to survive in the group of 18. I just want the best person available, whether he's establishied or not.

tbh i'd be against an internal appointment. if schofield is the next man standing i'd prefer to see him walk now and cut his teeth out of alberton.

It is time for some new #sackhinkley graphics, I think.

Can I please ask everyone to contribute the most unflattering Ken Hinkley facts, figures, moments, and quotes they can think of? It is time we rammed home the reality of this club's situation to the casual supporters and true believing sheep.

1. Hinkley played in three losing grand finals, zero winning grand finals.
2. Hinkley, as vice captain, one below captain, was fired after his third losing grand final.
3. Hinkley submitted himself to three senior coaching panels and lost all three.
4. Having fluked the senior coach position at PAFC Hinkley at half time of the semi final in 2013, when his charges were 23 points in front, told his players to look over their shoulders ... and lost the game.
5. In mid-season 2014, with his team a game clear at the top of the ladder, Hinkley told his players that they are now the hunted and not the hunter; result: PAFC ended the minor round out of the top four.
6. Do I really need to go on ... ?

If he did agree to come here he'd be serious about it and would be wanting to make an instant impact. Dare i say, he wouldn't come here if he didn't think he'd be having an instant impact.

Even Carlton is playing more exciting footy than Port right now. If we'd been 34 points behind on Saturday night, Ken would probably have stacked the back line, to enable us to walk away with an "honourable" 4 goal loss. Given that deplorable last quarter in Perth, and the fact that we haven't beaten Geelong since Menzies was Prime Minister , Saturday night's crowd figure will be fascinating.

If he didn't want to stay with Port he wouldn't have signed an extension until 2021, he could've made just as much if not more money elsewhere if he wanted to. Carlton and St Kilda would've tossed loads at him to get their s**t together. Call me ballshit but seriously you don't sign a three-year contract extension if you don't care about your job or reputation.

You missed that he was one of the laziest campaigners in an incredibly soft Geelong sign. Was never sighted in gym and the laziest bloke ever on the training track, comparatively makes Wingard look like the hardest trainer to ever play the game.

All about the money, you're underestimating how much money the nuffies running our club put him on.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

I hate this coach.

I liked Primus better than Hinkley. At least Primus had a pile of sh*t of a list. Hinkley has no excuses

Okay. I also missed Hinkley’s infamous regular instruction to Steve Hocking to look after his man whilst he drifted forward in search of Brownlow points, an annual assessment of ‘best and fairest’ at which he once came ... second.

 

[AwwThatsApples]

And he could've made even more if he started anew with another club, so money is out of the question. He spoke out on his own initiative to down rumours of him wanting to go to Carlton a few weeks ago, which I know might sound like a one option answer, but what did Ross do? He had a literal ******* lunch with them.

Still got 10 games to go, too.

Good to see one of Hinkley's stats on the rise.

Ross runs a business outside of footy with SOS. I very much doubt Carlton would be interested, even if they where they wouldn't offer close to the money he is on now, question is if there would be enough years to make the total contract value more. Would Carlton offer him 5 years with their record ? Hell no he isn't Clarkson.

Im not convinced there would be many clubs offering Hinkley more then we were dumb enough to give him. Would be beyond amazed if he even got close offers from other clubs.

They are only discovering this out now!!!!


Media Bury this fool asap.

It's not only our last QTR against Freo we have a freaking Hinkley history full of performances like that

If we offered that much money out of simple paranoia of dropping in on-field quality then Carlton definitely would've given anything for Ross, Carlton will take any excuse to get up and running again.

He left a couple of weeks before we won the premiership. Hardly a sinking ship

 

[PowerBaz]

Just 7 wins from the last three games and that will do it Boyz....

 

[Duck Farmer]

Not the real point of your post I know, but we shouldn't see the crows as being ruthless when they sacked Sanderson with his 57% record, much more to that than his win/loss numbers.

"You tell Sam Gray he's not playing this week."
