Opinion Sack Hinkley 7 - "Turn it around or watch out"

[Powerade 08]

Given that missing finals, the outcome is likely the same- new coach in 2024, I want Hinkley to coach out the season and we get absolutely torched and finish bottom. That's a far more palatable outcome because we will get a new coach, Pick #1 and zero chance of Hinkley being able to manufacture any sort of acceptable departure. Such as finish may even be enough to evict a few other no-hopers.

I want him to leave as the embarrassment and failure that he has been. I don't want even a skerrick of positivity left in our club's history, regarding his tenure as coach.

Ah yes, pick 1.

We gave North our 1st for jhf , bottom 5 is fine by me

In that scenario, doesn't norf get our pick #1?

Yeah! Ha, Bad by me. I'll still take that.

Me too. I want him destroyed like he's tried to destroy us

Selfless Kenny sacrificing his career for us again!

 

[MrMeaner]

I'm not even sure that has really happened before. A player potting fans is so ******* unusual. We're such a weird place.

Yep, the usual response is something like. “We understand fans’ frustration. Hopefully, we’ll turn it around next week and give them something to cheer about.” Instead we got whatever the **** it was that Dixon threw at us

Id rather see him go mid year and us turn it around immediately under Carr as interim coach. This was he and his supporters have got nowhere to hide, no claiming that it was a new pre season to go with a heap of other changes which had an impact. This way its just Hinkley going thats turned it around, thus proves beyond any doubt he was always the biggest problem.

Also FYI, North have our future first so in this scenario they'd get pick 1.

My favourite is how quickly one of his assistants walked that statement back and said 'maybe not best 22 but across the full list of 44 it is'

Wank.

Koch is not going anywhere.

His ego is too big.

He'll say that with all the turmoil of Kem leaving that the club needs him for stability.

It seems quite clear that this group of Power players are struggling with a stale game plan from a coach who has well and truly passed his use by date, and has run out of ideas. I yearn for the day when we finally get a new coach - the talent in our squad can definitely replicate what Collingwood did last year, but they won't get to prove it until Ken falls on his sword.

Yep. It looks 100% like he has lost them and they are on autopilot.

[Us against the rest]

I would really like to enjoy being a Port supporter again but instead the highlight I am hoping for in 2023, is seeing Hinkley depart from our club forever.

When I think about Hinkley, i used to think he's probably a nice bloke over all but now i think he's trying to extract every last cent he can out of our club, also he doesn't care how far he drags a very good list imo down the toilet with him.

Your time is getting closer Ken.
Sack Hinkley, the sooner the better, so the person that will replace him can get the full potential out of a good list.

I think the nice bloke schtick was a myth right from the get go.

As soon as we're bad for his brand, he'll drop us.

Yea never even in the halcyon days of run n gun Port, the Porterss and Polecat Polec with 2 feet did I ever think Ken was a nice bloke

Always come across as a campaigner who still to this day clearly sees himself as > the club itself a deficit that only got bigger after 2017s elimination final disaster imho

Would genuinely be happy to never see or hear of him again

 

[backtozero]

There's too much talent on the list to finish bottom. That's a fantasy.

We'll finish 6th-11th as we usually do because Hinkley is painfully average.

 

[Eddie Woloschek]

As soon as we're bad for his brand, he'll drop us.

The problem is that a winless Port Adelaide is better for his brand than his daily appearances on Channel 7. He is an empty shell with a big mouth.

 

[Andre]

We won't see him at the club once he's gone. He'll be wearing his Geelong underwear on the outside before he's out the front door. Unfortunately we'll continue to hear from him in the Vic media as the man who saved Port. From Hinkley himself I expect he'll only mention Port when one of our younger players does well and he'll claim credit for developing them.

All it tells me is that Bucks doesn't want his job.

We can officially rule Nathan out.

Dwayno: I'm tipping Brisbane for the flag, if they don't win it it'll be a wasted period kinda like Port Adelaide.

Thanks for waking from ya coma big fella.

He's probably talking about 2001-3

Nah, play the slow game.
His opinion won’t change who coaches, so keep all the players inside that support Ken anyway.
Though he probably doesn’t want the job tbh.
