Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

Kleenex is out but what about donuts?
Probably not a great idea to throw anything on the field, but the 'donuts' meme is about his coaching record rather than anything personal, so if you want to wave a box of Donut King around on camera that'd be fair game.

On a forum. If you started yelling abuse to him about his wife and son while he's standing on the sidelines at the football, you'd be an arseh*le. You'd also be playing directly into Whateley, Kane, Caro, Barrett etc's hands.

boo the house down to him. Yep, I agree anything else past that and it’s a bad look for us as the supporter base, for the club and aswell we would be playing into the Vic media mafia’s narrative. We must be smart how we go by this.

Stick to the facts and statistics over the last decade, just say I don't care who the coach is, these are the statistics and they don't lie.
When Graham Corned read out the statistics I messaged in, he almost choked when he read the win loss ration for wins against top 4 sides, Muppet head Row had to repeat it again.

Do you have a link?

Just boo him.

All that is required.

It really is ludicrous that these reports expect the fanbase to keep quiet ... along with other reporters, other players, other coaches, everyone else involved in the footy club.

Literally, the entire world has to protect poor old Ken.

Booing him lets the club know that he isn't wanted or accepted anymore and that they need to make a choice as to support Ken or the fanbase.

Never forget that it is the board's choice to keep him in and the board's choice to let the fans boo him. More pressure on the board will prompt them to act.

That’s literally my point.
 
So sad to think all this predictable stuff could have been avoided by just not renewing an 11 year failed coach at the end of last year.

My mood hasn't changed in five years. I'm fascinated on how long people have endured this as if it were all fine.
 
I’ve asked this before and don’t really have a handle on it myself but why does the AFL media refuse to engage with the Port Adelaide Fan base’s frustration with Koch and Hinkley?

Caro, Whateley, several age journalists, SEN, David Zita, etc etc have all backed Ken repeatedly. They’ve attacked the fan base as ungrateful, called the fans feral, vermin and other names. We are supposed to back and support Ken forever because he came to us in 2013 when we were at a low ebb.

I’m not a fan of booing but what can port fans do to show their dissatisfaction with Koch and Ken?
 
This shows his whole emotional rant was entirely pre-prepared. He didn’t answer the question asked, he had been practicing for the question “how has this week been for you Ken?”, and turned on his “speech” automatically.

There’s a lot of people out there who are happily self-declaring as rubes.

Real “why on earth did you take him back?!” / “because he promised me he’d change!” energy from the middle-aged woman cohort, in particular.
Women seem to be far too loyal to individuals in sport.

Though they also seem to move on quickly :).

Because, if you had to talk about 18 teams every week, Port is toward the bottom of teams that you would pay attention to. Therefore, we get the most superficial takes possible.

Don’t show up to bloody games, it’s so frign obvious.

He’s not there to care. He’s there to get the team to perform at their optimum and win a premiership. Twelve years tells me he can’t so get rid of him.
I'm using care in the broadest definition. He should care about the prospects of the football club. He should care about the integrity of the football department. He should care that members are respected.

I'm just saying caring (i.e. doing his job properly) is the absolute bare minimum for anyone, let alone someone being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
 
Why aren’t we allowed to boo him exactly

The more they go on about it, the more supporters will do it

I wonder if this is reason why Koch or Richardson haven't made statements about the booing. Another is that they would say supporters that boo Hinkley are not worthy of their time and attention and commentary. I just cannot trust my own 'hope' that they haven't said a word because they no longer support daddy donuts.
 
With all due respect, I think you're the one with zero awareness here. Kane knows. He doesn't care.

His job is not to make factual and logically sound and consistent arguments, his job is to drive engagement. Positive or negative, doesn't matter. Every time you read or comment on a Kane Cornes article or video, even if that comment is 'you have no idea Cornes you dickhead', he wins and you lose.
That's a fair read on him & why I dont listen to any of these people. I havent clicked on a Kornes article or video for years. The only info I get on him & any of the other attack dogs is from the quotes listed by posters on here.
