That has to be the post of the month..if not year
I cringed on reading -in foetal position. These guys are just pathetic - act like classless small-time club yobbos.

We lost 5 of our last 6 games last year. It just feels we could see a repeat of that for the rest of the season.
Ken couldn't survive that. If he does there'll be tumbleweeds blowing down the aisles of AO next year

I would like to see a serious poll on this thread. 1. Sack him 2. Keep him 3. Move him sideways.
And the poll percentages or a bit stuffed.

Sometimes players get comfortable with the same coach so they are happy to keep him
I want our playing group to feel uncomfortable and be playing on edge.
The thing I'm looking forward to most is after winning this weekend having the regular flood of posi-trolls telling us how we should have believed and how if you aren't on board with Ken you aren't a real supporter etc etc

Perhaps he is being a character reference for Ken

Very good point..although Geelong have done ok with Scott and Hawks with Clarko, but maybe some coaches are easier to listen to than others.

In my opinion, the only way Hinkley goes if we finish 8-14 or 9-13 and finish with some big losses.
So if we can’t make it, I’m happy to finish 8-14 with a new coach and higher draft pick

Geelong fans have routinely been calling for Scott's head, which is actually understandable because with their inability to convert from regular season to finals is amazingly inept.

The next 6 games:
v Tigers away … struggle to win
v Giants at home … they're not in good shape either so I'm thinking we'll win
v Bombers away … have been very fast up against us in recent years, especially over there, I think we'll struggle to win it
v Swans at home … they're not too good … we should beat them
v Roos away … hard to say, we've been good against them in recent years, I think we'll win
v Dockers home … I really don't know … we could be playing for a spot in the 8 with this game, it could be a win
We could go 3 and 3, which places us at the fate of other teams, typifies Hinkley's inconsistent season of one step forward and one step back, typifies Hinkley's era. Somewhere in those 6 games we'll win when we think we won't and we'll lose when we think we won't. So mediocre.

There is a fine line... if players are too uncomfortable they will leave in droves... but I agree we need them wanking each morning not knowing what the day will bring... is it a spray? A 20km time trial? A day in the spa? Or how about learning to kick the bloody red (sometimes yellow) thing between the too biggest sticks on the fricken ground.
A good coach the players will love but qont know what is coming!
Might help. Probably wont but its outside the box thinking.
One may be walking let’s hope Hinkley gets out the door
Report: Michael Voss interviewed for Carlton coaching job
Carlton has ramped up its search for their next senior coach.
I don't think it's too much of a stretch that we could go 0-6.
Sheedy like.

Kath Loughnan interviewing Charlie Dixon on AFL Tonight,
“Do you feel like the team is letting Ken Hinkley down at the moment?”
Haha.

Haha.
Ken in denial the end may well be near!
HINKLEY: We discussed as a club about the changes we made – we weren’t 100% convinced they’d make us stronger immediately.. we want to get better every year but our list is really strongly positioned with youth… we know that’s not what some want to hear but that’s the reality
HINKLEY: I’ll never give up on trying stuff as a coach, I’m not going to be frightened by outside noise
HINKLEY: Brisbane we’re just too good and too ready (in the first q) with players like Lyon and Zorko, it wasn’t just Neale
HINKLEY on form in the wet: We’ve practiced playing in the wet – we’ve played a lot in the wet and played well in some such as the Eagles gamed, but we’ve also lost some of those games
HINKLEY: Duursma will most likely come back this week – no players are getting rested in my team, but if they’re not where we want them to be we’ll give them a week off and get him to work on some things… he’s benefited from having a bit of a spell
HINKLEY on inconsistencies: When you get it wrong it’s really hard to catch up on. Myself and the players haven’t got it right all the time when we’ve gone win loss win loss and we’re all working together. We remain really positive and work to get better every day
HINKLEY on pressures of being a coach and mixed reactions from media: Yeah I get impacted by the noise – I’m not bullet proof, myself and the club are doing our best – but you do get bemused at times, it’s an opinion based businesses outside the fence and performance based inside
HINKLEY: The last 24 hours I’ve read how good a bloke Richo is & how good a coach he is after months of people calling for him to be sacked, it frustrates me & I get confused how you can sit on one side of the fence & then the other. I think it’s really poor & sloppy journalism

Ken is an imposter who knows it. "I'm prepared to cop the criticism IF it's warranted WE ALL at the club ask ourselves can WE do better. "
Every time he is challenged, he is "I am" or I will, then he brings in others and levels that charge to them.
The guy is a snake oil salesman
