Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[Duck Farmer]

It's a bit hard to sack Ken when Port are sitting 6th on the ladder.

Can you recalculate that using the grand finals ladder?

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

The laws of probability! They are unaffected by both optimism and pessimism.

Deep down you know a loss is not certain, as if it were, you’d be throwing all of your savings on the opposition each week - free money.

Saying “I think we will win against GC” would be unwise, but “we have some chance of winning against GC, but I hope we lose so Ken gets sacked” is totally fair, reasonable, and understandable!

Are you blind to the cycle? Ken just does enough to safe his skin and once he saved himself like now with the win against the dogs, we go back to playing garbage like clockwork.

Most Port supporters on here see it.

 

[Duck Farmer]

If we sack Hinkley who are we gonna get?

Hmmm .. there's at least one recent premiership coach available.

 

[John the Butcher]

Lol

Watch Hinkleys "loyalty" disappear if WCE come knocking.

We could all only hope. But Kochie will be hovering over the contract extension button everyday now.

We conducted an extensive search and discovered Matthew lobbe was the best man for the job

coaching Port. They'd want him sacked before he pulled on his first club polo.

Id take Bickley in a heartbeat at this point.

He has that certain special quality that is hard to put in to words. Actually quite easy to put in to words: "not Hinkley".

If you were an aspiring senior coach there is no way in hell you’d prefer the west coach job over port or even crows. They’ve got a very long road ahead.

West Coast will win another premiership before Port and the Crows.

Every coach they've ever had who has coached them for more than 2 years has ended up winning a flag. History is on your side.

 

[PAFC66]

Hold up.

Has Ken been at Port longer than Simpson was at West Coast?


Lol ****

 

[Bump Bailey]

Coaches come & go, Clubs are bigger than the Coach - Rucci on Adam Simpson SEN Adelaide 9/07/2024 3:15pm

**** my life, honestly.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol

Can we just 'lose' everyone at the club, please?

 

[PowerLil]

**** my life, honestly.

To add insult to injury, Dillon read a text message pointing out Rucci's hypocrisy to which he replied "And here they come" .
They then proceeded to play Never Tear Us Apart.
You can't make this sh*t up.
Rucci is a guttersnipe. A paid propagandist. A shill.

I don't get it

He went so hard at chocco and Primus

Did ken **** him too?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Text: "sack hinkley"
Rucci: No. Anyway here is wonderwall.

 

[Janey]

Is this your thought? I would love to see but Schofield back but he moved back to WA for family reasons I don’t think he would come back, could be wrong.

It wasn’t a serious suggestion, just thought it would make PowerLil happy.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

You want Carr to go for the West Coast job to ramp pressure on the board making the call on Ken

 

[Waspy79]

I'm confident that Josh Carr will be coach come round 1 next year. I'm also confident that it's his intention to reset the club culture to be more in line with the pre-Hinkley Port Adelaide. Watch this space.

This is just a hunch or?

 

[Janey]

They’re more likely to think that if Josh goes that we definitely need to keep Ken, ‘cos “who else are you gonna get”.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Not necessarily, what we want is West Coast to make a big play for Carr and the Board have their hand forced and move Ken on so we don't lose Carr.

Good call. Like city.

Obviously the next coach is going to be shit too then.

We may as well close the doors.

It's very difficult to be confident in this panning out given what happened in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

It's very easy because of the talent we have on our list to win 4 of our last 7, finished 5th/6th, win the first final before getting obliterated in the semi only for them to give Ken the final year of his contract because we improved by winning a final.

He won't leave money on the table. He won't step down. We're relying on David Koch to fire someone who wants to continue to get paid. We're relying on Donna Hinkley not glaring at Koch and having him fold faster than Superman on laundry day. There are too many things that can go wrong to keep Hinkley here.

We heard in 2018, 2019 and 2022 that he had to be gone, there's no way he can survive it, that it's coming, be patient. It never comes. We're like Wile E Coyote trying to catch the roadrunner and the anvil keeps falling on us.
