Opinion Sack Hinkley 6 - Kochblocked

[Jason K]

I don't think it's even possible to judge Primus fairly. We had Cam Faloon running the unfittest team in the comp, Dean Laidley running the midfield from melbourne, every Adelaide media outlet trying to kill us off....

I get what Ford is saying about chopping and changing strategies and plans but he would have been 2nd guessing himself.

 

[TazD]

Where were the happy clappers during the Primus era? They love telling supporters off for not being TRUE BELIEVERS but how does our average home game attendance jump by over 20,000 since? Hypocrites for the most part

You can blame the internet for the happy clappers of today.

Primus knew he had to go and walked when given the option to hang around for another month. He didn't seek a farewell game or any other nonsense. He didn't deserve one anyway.

****ing neither does Hinkley though.

And we cannot criticise his selections when the Hinkley era has been just as worse, just as bad.

And the amount of agitators he had coming after him from within, like the Cornes family, and Rucci. Ken literally has a posse of players and footy department support that own race dogs.

It cannot be overstated how diabolical our fitness was. We were in a lot of games at 3/4 time in 2012.

Primus would have been a great Voss style coach if we gave him a tactical assistant like Phil Walsh and a fitness guy like Burgess.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Who would win in a fight - Cam Falloons mamboob nips or Ken Hinkleys manboob nips?

 

[Us against the rest]

Ha ha lol.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Ha ha lol.

It's our Berlin Wall coming down moment.

 

[Macca19]

Primus had everything against him off field but the guy couldnt coach. 40 points up against a rookie winless gold coast at home and lost. Losing games by nearly thirty goals.

The core fans had a “we are shit and we dont care” attitude but the reality is we were really grim on field

 

[finbarr]

Sure a few people from BigFooty would be happy to get together and come up with ideas.....

Imagine sabotaging the cheer squad's banner making night and stealth replacing the official banner with a SACK HINKLEY banner. Now THAT would be something!

 

[bomberclifford]

A corefulte with the Ron Paul IT'S HAPPENING image would be a good replacement.

This would be brilliant.

Kane reckons that the club would have to tap Hinkley on the shoulder for him to leave, he said that Ken is to loyal to walk away lol.
He calls it loyalty when it's really selfishness.

 

[chiwigi]

The club used to send reps to talk to the fans before games in the Primus era (especially as there used to be about 60 of us at away games ).

They made it very clear at the time that he was expected to play youth and there would be a lot of 'short term' hurt.

Unfortunately for the club, the press at the time would not spread that message as they chose to sink the boot in instead!

He’s loyal to a fault Kane. He’s so worried about what would happen to the club if he voluntarily left. I mean it could go back to 2011 levels.

Coke should sponsor it.

Kane would absolutely recognise loyalty self preservation when he sees it. No wonder he identifies with Hinkley.

The coach at ground zero of a crisis/rebuild rarely survives someone has to sacrifice themselves, hindsight is easy I know but he certainly had the right idea about a few things.. Pity he didn't get his wish of both Cornes brothers out the door.

Of course we now get told by David King that there's only 3 coaches he can remember that survived rebuilds to see success - Clarkson, Hardwick and Hinkley.

Never mind that Hinkley actually didn't do the rebuild and the other 2 did.

Never mind the fact that Clarkson and Hardwick have won 7 premierships between them whilst old mate hasn't even won 7 finals.

It's like living in a parallel universe. How is there literally nobody in football who can see what a loser this guy is?

It's not a parallel universe. We are just a minor franchise that has success defined by the AFL as "keeping the lights on and balancing the TV schedule".

 

[PowerBaz]

Anybody heard from Chris Davies in a while? seems to be off the radar at the min.

Yeah but it's more than that. The media don't go after non Victorian coaches as aggressively but they do eventually. It's been 10 years. The good old country Victorian bloke image doesn't help, nor do the high number of ex Geelong players and supporters in the media, nor does the biggest shock jock in the game being a former player whose brother is employed by Hinkley.

In the end though it's the same as the PB issue. We can blame other parties all we want but we only have ourselves to blame.

 

[TazD]

How long before that sign is replaced? And how long after its back will another sticker appear?

 

[dirty2]

Sorry... Mrs just sent me this after seeing the wedding Singer one... Koch + Hinkley together

They went after Lyon at Freo. Simpson at West Coast. Every SUNS coach. Leon Cameron. Every Crows coach.

It's not just a Victoria - Interstate divide.

It's a Port Adelaide - Everyone else divide.

Lol getting rid of the whole sign to avoid it happening again and again, is so David Koch. It's right up there with employing Rucci as his spin merchant.
