Anyone notice the footage of Hinkley on the ground after last night's win?

Contrast that with Hardwick after the Sydney game.

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Whoever selected Hardwick has cost us finals success.

Ken Hinkley is clearly a better coach in every aspect then Hardwick!

You needed a brand new thread of this?

Couldn't you have just used your "Sack Harwick" thread  :rollin

Agree merge thread and give strike

Forget the respective coaching departments, what we really need to steal from Port are some of those great seat covers!   ;D   It worked for them, so we have to do it too!

None of you guys would have supported Hinkley at the time and you knew it. Hardwick won the job Hinkley its well known came 2nd in the interview process. I have no complaints about the process, to get to those two last means that the process was right. From memory most of you wanted Rawlings who has been at Melbourne for a few years now. Hardwick has taken us to 2 finals in a row. Not a bad effort considering the last 30 years. I like Hinkley he exhibits mongrel and is a good coach, but we have what we have. So lets get on with it.

agree with this. I will put my hand up and say I wanted hardwick mainly due to his hardness as a player.

I'm also bias against Essendon

I concede hardwick had a successful period early however I believe he lost the plot some time ago
