Autopsy Showdown 58

[EskimoPAFC]

The boys let Kenny down. He got them up for this game but they failed him. We've all failed Kenny and need to have a good think about it.

Seriously though this was always gonna happen in this ridiculous succession plan. Everyone's had enough of it.

At least the game that mattered most yesterday, we won. Go the girls!

 

[King_Tredrea]

Debating the ins and outs of the list is pointless. Could have put the Globetrotters out there tonight and the result would have been exactly the same.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

On picking Jed: "That's why they're not picking him. They've got no idea."

After you lose by 98 points and Lorenz picks up 35 disposals and a goal in the 2s with DFW scoring 6 majors. The sheer arrogance of this narcissistic ****** is beyond belief.

This is why we've failed for 13 years and why Primus was always better than Ken. Its not just that he's shit but he thinks he knows all and thus never, ever gets better. We need a coach who every year is better than the year before.

What did I miss

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Oh I will say that if Carr does want to put the foot down the second the moron ****s off, this result is great for that. Reinforces to anybody in doubt that the Ken era was 13 years of failure that gradually got more embarrassing and we desperately need change.

 

[philreich]

In order to increase our percentage to 100 next week, all we have to do is beat Geelong by 287 points .

 

[Kenny_Powers]

Everything about this game screamed unprepared and mentally weak.

I told my family beforehand that Kens comments were a worry in the lead up presser, talking about how the players don't like showdowns because of the heat!

First kick the wrong way gets laughed at, but there's more to that, more that's indicative of the mental state of the side. Unprepared, confused, checked out!

Second to the ball all night, roll over in the second half, the same guy that only a couple weeks before was putting lolly teeth in his mouth for the cameras whilst our season was slipping away looked on with zero answers or emotion.

The Crows were always going to win, with a near full strength side and the umps giving them kisses and cuddles, but that margin is as much on us tonight, 100 points in the wet is unforgivable, that is an effort result. We had none, and who's surprised, we're playing scared and mimicking lolly teeth guy.

We are not a serious football club at all!

The media are not serious about us with the constant layup questions to Ken, the club are not serious with the constant deflections and distractions, our opposition are not serious when we turn up to play because if players like Bergman aren't telling their opp numbers they're crook, Kens having a giggle with them all after the game.

We have so so many issues and they are practically all between the ears.

they're all actors until a change in regime

 

[raptalia]

Twelve years ago Ken kept repeating, 'you get what you deserve'. Strangely I have not heard that expression from Ken's lips for some time now but it is just as appropriate in 2025 as it was back in 2013.

Last night's result was about on a par with a 119 point loss in a Grand Final.

Surely it is time for Koch and Co to tell Hinkley to leave and take the likes of Hartlett and Stuart Graham with him? I guess we are in a catch 22 situation as the people who should be telling Ken to leave early should also be leaving. The most unsuccessful Chairman in the Club's history should tell the most it's least successful Coach to go.

Who's contactable at the club email wise?

Is Fiacchi?

The good, the bad and the ugly.​

There is one thing i hate, and that is losing to the Crows, well 2 things... losing by a huge margin. But we have to factor in having 8-10 players out who would normally be in our 23 tonight.

The Crows deserved the win, they played awesome wet weather footy tonight, but please footy gods, don't let them into a Grand Final any time soon. We'll never hear the end of it from the Adelaide Advertiser, Graham Cornes, Stephen Rowe, KG and all the other knob-heads who follow the Crows.

As for Ken Hinkley... it's time to hang up your coaching ideas and let Josh Carr take over. You've had your time... a few years too long imo. So to you Ken, you tried... so it's goodbye from me, and it's goodbye from him.

As for our members and supporters... times will be tough... it was rough back in and around 2011-'12 before Ken, Kochie and Keith Thomas came along and pulled us out of the shit. Now is the time to stay on-board and get this club back where is belongs.... top, top, top.

WE ARE PORT ADELAIDE​

8-10 best 23 players out?

We literally only have a total of 9 on our injury list. Two of those have never played seniors before, another two (Cochrane and Burton) are fringe players, and Vis would not have performed any better than Sweet.

 

[Chrizzt]

I think what amused me the most about the Bergman opening kick was that given that a forward 50 with Aliir, BZT, Thilthorp, WalKKKer, and Fogarty looks compared to our 50 just confirms Bergman is an absolute pissblaster who slams it on the boot without even pretending to lower his eyes for a target.

It’s not even like he was being tackled and needed to get rid of it either, he clearly had time and space.

I take your point as there is more to it than injuries but Horne-Francis, Powell-Pepper, Ratagolea and Marshall might have made a difference. The most telling stat was that 8.2 to 0.2 last quarter and that gets down to fitness. As I see it we have won just two last quarters for the season and that is an indicator that our fitness both physical and mental is not where it needs to be. We are told that Stuart Graham, as the Head of High Performance is responsible for these areas and if that is the case he should be on the bus out of Alberton along with Ken Hinkley, Hamish Hartlett, and David Koch.

They do not care about the big loser Ken. The daddy donuts.

 

[PowerLil]

I'm not listening to the buffoon speak again, what is the summary?

Injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries.

 

[Macca_1870]

Hey guys just checking in, did we win?

I'm so ready for cricket to be here, to quote the 12th man:

"It was a heavy loss. Or a reverse big win, as it's known these days".

What the actual ****.

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

Maybe PAFC66 was right

it was apparent early but undeniable by 2017. he is a fraud, loser, career loser, phoney and con man.

And, this is really important, he KNOWS he is incapable of creating a team that can overcome finals or high intensity pressure. he has fostered media relationships to deflect attention. he's a crafty, cunning rat. Some players, like Scott Lycett knew it

Robbie Gray and Travis Boak have a lot to answer for..grown men who could have called it out, instead they fostered mediocrity and blew their careers. Boak is now a fellow freeloader with no self respect or integrity

I truly fear Josh Carr is not the way. I've worked with terrible bosses and quit under them.Ive seen what became of those who stayed there. I can't respect any coach who took the comfortable road under Ken Hinkley in order to bank a paycheck

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

If Josh Carr is serious they both need to be cut.

if Josh Carr was serious he would have left years ago

unless he has absolute contempt for Ken, and will immediately set out to cut deep and show visible difference and changes, well know right away he won't be the answer

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

He admitted it this week. He’s scared of these games. They make him anxious. They’re like finals to him. Instead of embracing the challenge, he wants to hide and nervously smirk at them. His players follow his lead.

....because he knows he's a fraud

imagine the trauma he must cause his shrink

In all truth you're probably the most objective person here

 

[True__Believer]

John Cahill would have had them at the sand dunes at Semaphore at the crack of dawn after a performance like that. Let me guess, they are not there are they?

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

We got smashed by a team I used to hate to my bones and now I can't even bring myself to care about it in the slightest.

we care, we just don't feel any pain or shame. we're emotionally detached.

we're victim/ survivors now

(afl will still give us more gambling ads, flashing billboard and in game advertising )

 

[Sewer de Lance]

After last night, you wouldn’t trust Bergman to piss on a urinal in the right direction. You might give a free pass to a hung over C Grade stoner, but it’s unforgivable at this level.

The vision coming out of both coaches boxes told an accurate tale of what was not only unfolding on the field last night, but for the majority of the past 13 years. Nicks, appeared steely faced, serious, & in total control, while Ken looked like a 20 year old virgin about to embark on his first date.

You would think the club would arguably be in a better position without Ken, but as long as Koch & his merry group of sycophants remain, I’m expecting business to carry on as normal.
