Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 12 - Finals Are Scary

[PA88]

Wishful thinking, but perhaps the decision makers within the club feel it is more probable than not that Finkley's contract could be terminated and doing so before the B&F could sour the event.

Anyway, if Finkley feels that he may not be secure for 2025, I am very curious to see what his mannerism will be like tonight at the B&F, he could throw out another sales pitch tonight lol

It’s basically all we have to cling to.

Although I doubt the brass would let Ken get up and make a big grandiose optimistic speech at the B&F about what 2025 will bring if they’re going to terminate him afterwards.

Would be hilarious though.

I've already told them once again not to automatically renew. Each year they put me back on auto renew so the onus is on me once again to notify them. This does not impress me.

It is disgusting. I have just been told that they "forgot" to remove me even after I had received email confirmation. This club is seriously run by clowns that try to boost memberships in any manner.

The poor membership person on the other end of the phone call

I was polite to "George" but was terse. It's not their fault that the management of the club are dumb ****s!

 

[rogerjames]

There was an ok amount of references to the admin and team performance in there are least. Not heaps but at least the whole thing wasn't "how much do you heart emoji Coles grocery dash see you at the footy"?

I used the any other comments box to let fly knowing full well (and I acknowledged this in there) that this is just going back to some poor membership staff and probably won't go anywhere. But it made me feel temporarily better at least.



Anyway Sack Hinkley

Great letter

 

[gbear]

I still haven't received my membership survey even after I received the auto renewal sms.

Good point but it would be satisfying.

This is where I am in perpetual disagreement with most contributors here. Hinkley may well be a malign influence on the club but the cancer has been around since well before his tenure. I would agree with those calling for a complete clean out. Lock stock and barrel. A bit like a completely dilapidated house that has to be razed to the ground and rebuilt from the first brick.

Rubbish! Just a dumb comment!

The pre-2012 issues we had have nothing to do with the current situation. They were settled with the AO move, the one-club initiative, and the removal of ownership from the sanfl.

Our current situation is leadership related ... other than that, the club is in a very good position.

The dumb comment poster does have form though.

Malice? Could it be a club directive?

 

[dirty2]

Have we won yet?

 

[dirty2]

Malice? Could it be a club directive?

Could be, because they would get a certain % of people who would just go... **** it... And stay a member for another year.

 

[tribey]

It actually fits perfectly with the clubs decision making

Replacing Nathan Bassett with Tyson Goldsack on the eve of bringing in Esava ‘can he even defend?’ Ratugolea and Brandon ‘reverse Coleman’ Zerk-Thatcher was another interesting move.

Exactly. Leadership has always been the problem. Piss weak administration and diabolical coaching. All the problems being complained about here were all evident in the Williams years and a lot of the posters here suffer from short or selective memories it seems. Many were baying for Williams' blood towards the end but have now done some incredible 180 degree turn and view him as some kind of deity on the basis of the simple fact he finally fluked a premiership against a battered and sore opposition that had already bagged a threepeat and more than likely didnt have the hunger anyway. The arguments for getting rid of Hinkley are salient and valid but come on- at least have some objectivity. The main problem is that in the AFL world Port' s hisory and tradition count for nought in the eyes of the games custodians. They have constructed a homogenous competition full of franchises and dictate terms to keep it that way. They dont care about the diehard supporters.

Just wait till Hinkley realises Gary Rohan is out of contract.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Great news! Just received an email from the club saying if you renew your membership by October 31st they’ll send you a free packet of teal coloured “Shrivelled Nuts” flavoured m&ms.

 

[Andre]

Ok, we need more big dicked people to run the club... Would love to put my hand up... But it looks like I don't qualify.

At least Mrs. dirty2 appreciates that at Easter.

Smithers texted Dwayne just then on SEN, says Hinkley to announce leaving at tonight's BnF due to family issues.

I hope Smithers is correct.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Ken's speech at the BnF will be hilarious.

He will have gotten the message loud and clear about his lack of solutions other than "keep turning up" in his AA interview.

So now he is going to have to try and string enough sentences together to formulate some sort or coherent approach towards improvement. Will be like watching a car crash.

Do you have any audio of that?

Oh... Does that mean I have to watch the b and f?

Doesn't this guy continually make shit up?

Don't torture yourself. I won't be.

 

[dirty2]

I don't have enough wine at home to deal with this...

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Goes on 5aa being giddy to be here next year and then announcing he is leaving a day later?

Seems unlikely to me
