Analysis Where it all went wrong…

[elbarton]

Once upon we had a complete value meal… 2 burgers, 2 corns and one salad pack.

No longer do we meet the exacting standards of the food pyramid - one each of only burger and corn.

Cos Cardone has a lot to answer for

I blame KFC for not giving us 3 wicked wings in their box packs anymore.

Did someone say KFC?

Just a heads up, even though the boxed meals come with 2 pieces of hot and crispy by default, you’re able to swap that to 3 wicked wings at no extra cost. I do this on the app but I’d assume it’s no different at a kiosk or the counter.

Yup I do this too. Those two bits of shite and gristle that you get do not in any way amount to what you get in three wings.

I think they technically do, the first time I had hot and crispy I came to the conclusion that it was a full wing (drumette, wingette and tip) with all the bones somehow removed, which is weird because the wing tip has the same bone structure as a human hand so idk how you remove 27 minuscule bones and why you’d want to keep the “meat” from that part of the wing. Put simply though, nowhere near as good as the magic that is a wicked wing. Was a tragedy when I went to buy the 8 pack of wicked wings for $8 deal they have sometimes and they offered me 8 hot and crispy. I took them up on it because they normally cost way more and I was curious to try it but I won’t do that again…

Koch confirmed as Chairman​

"The club is honoured to confirm that David Koch is the new Chairman of its Board of Directors effective immediately."

 

[Coobk001]

It went wrong in 2017 when we jumped the gun, a year early, and re-signed Hinkley for a record length extension, at a time when our performances were a huge concern and the initial coaching boost had worn off.

It also went wrong when Koch and co jumped on board and proclaimed Stability equals success. Referencing the Richmond FC as the justification. Richmond suffered through 1 down year after 3 finals years, before winning a flag. That can't be referenced as a model after a decade of failure.

 

[Janey]

For a moment I wondered why I was seeing this, then I realised what the thread was called, and that it wasn’t all just about chicken wings.

 

[Cam1870]

For all the discussion of Ken, the 119 GF, dual captains ... that quarter time segment where people are expected to drum on an imaginary KFC box whilst the fried night footy song plays is still the nadir of this club.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I think its when Ripley works out that the team is under the primary heat exchanges and they all have to give their ammo to Sergeant Apone.

 

[tribey]

For all the contextual good Keith Thomas and David Koch did, having a CEO and Chairman parachute in from the SANFL and Sydney respectively when the prevailing industry belief was “Port Power are a stinky poo that should be shipped to Hobart!” was the absolute worst thing imaginable.

All Hinkley had to do with a fully-funded footy department was show the sort of improvement you’d expect from an otherwise ‘normal’ rebuild spearheaded by the likes of Boak, Wingard, Gray, Schulz, Westhoff, Ebert, Jonas, Hartlett, Broadbent and co in their early-to-mid 20’s.

Hardly the feats of Beveridge at the Western Bulldogs or Blight at the Crows, but Kochie (“little club”) and Keef (“everyone is so much bigger than us”) thought he had magic pixie dust in his fingertips, and gave him a job for life as a result.

Dreadful.

 

[Contested Marx]

At least, despite making him rich, we've aged the bastard beyond his years

Don't know about magic pixie dust, but I'm sure they thought he could bottle lightning ...

Lol I still remember that feeling in the pit of my stomach watching that unfold..

2014 was great, sure we couldn't get over hawthorn but with another pre season under our belt the flag was all but ours.

Then that game.. and everyone was like... Farris brothers? What? Do they not realise the only INXS person anyone knows was Michael Hutchence? And the weird ground announcer.. and cuts to kochie in the crowd.. and then they were parked in the goalsquare while the ump was starting the game.. and all of a sudden we'd gone from everyone's favourite second exciting team to absolute cringelords.. and the performance followed. But you could feel that something was off, something had gone very wrong since the prelim.

If the Farriss geezers had just tossed the coin without Kochie fonzing around & fukced off straight back to the stands it would've been fine.. but here we are lol

The day we traded Lil Pisty is the day the music died.

The downfall began moments after the final siren of the 2014 PF, when the Chairman told a staff member he wasn’t bothered by losing because it was such a great effort.

And the nail in the coffin was when the same person shit his pants at a kitchen table three years later.
