what is with all the articles on Hinkley? which media baron is he shagging?
I wasn't at all impressed with that speech. That kind of stuff went out with John Northey. An AFL club these days needs talk about tasks and strategies, not 'eat 'em alive'.
We need someone with more tactical nouse than that. He is off my list!

I wouldve been happy with any of the final three candidates. I think Hinkley will be a great choice. However, he has a hell of a job on his hands. Its going to take more than pump up talks thats for sure.

Well from the feedback Hinkley is the candidate with the most tactical nous. As for the speech I thought it was pretty good, not the best but very good nonetheless. It was certainly a lot better than most quarter and 3 quarter time addresses at VFL games that I've seen.
Honestly nothing much to that speech, opened it expecting something special and it was bit "meh".
I won't let that colour my view though, which is a restricted one, much like everyone else's. I think, bar Rawlings, we will get a decent coach. The first draft/delist period will tell us if we're heading in the right direction.

Yeah I heard Hardwick's trial version of Powerpoint expired in the middle of his presentation.

Maybe they have started the process on the way to recovery. I am sure internally they have measures to deduce progress. Only time will tell whether a culture change was successful or not. Personally I think there has been a shift but far too early to tell, and certainly difficult to do so as an outsider.
I think it was the President of Bell Park footy club where Kenny gave his now famous 3/4 GF speech, well he was just on with KB, and as you'd expect I guess, he raved and raved about Ken. He said all those things that you see Geelong and even StK do on field, playing for each other, defensive focus, blah blah, it's all Ken's philosophy. Plus he'S a superb communicator and players man. He's also working on a cure for cancer and studying brain surgery. FWIW.

Agree Ghost. I just heard David Burke (former Geelong teammate) on SEN talk him up saying he's a people's person who can get into the mind of players. I'd rather someone who has a clear view on how this modern game should be played with skill, development, tactics etc.... These were my doubts on Hinkley as he just comes across like another Northey. I just hope this 'process' has a proper criteria on what our club needs.
not a bad speech,and it was done without the f and c words and psychopathic yelling that was the norm at my club back in the day,although to put it mildly we were a bit more rough around the edges than bell park. ;D
i`m more worried about who we recruit in the draft to be honest,we`ve been searching for the messiah coach for far too long,but if you haven`t got the players it doesn`t matter if you`ve got allan jeans it isn`t going to matter.
you can`t turn *smile* into strawberry jam.
