I sincerely doubt the club entered into a contract about determining a contract extension in August. It's just idiotic.

The rhetoric has been that the discussions would commence in August. People have inferred, presumably incorrectly, this is when the decision would be made.

“August (at the earliest)” would make sense.

Yeah I have no idea how a contract like that would work, but the fact that it's idiotic? I mean...

You really gonna validate our coach with a bunch of "What ifs" that haven't happened?

Why is it always the Geelong supporters desperately trying to defend Ken? Did you guys seriously worship him that much as a player?
I wore the number 29 on the back of my jumper when I was a kid.
His time here will be remembered as a slightly less colossal waste.
One flag in 11 years in an 18 team competition would be a better than average return. His win percentage is pretty good too.

What if Port make the grand final?
What if Port win the flag?

at best, at absolute best, he reaches mark williams tier.

the guy who blew a lot of chances and finally snagged one.

basically a shitter version of chris scott, minus the first season flag. and most geelong people wanted him moved on prior to last year.

And wouldn’t change a thing about the talent and opportunity he has wasted.

How’s his prelim win percentage?

If he's so damn wonderful, why was he unsuccessful in getting the Geelong coaching job over Scott? Did he refuse to apply for that job as well as is his divine right?

Most Port supporters wanted Williams sacked before he finally got the chocolates in 2004. I see the situation with Hinkley being similar.

Ken said he wouldn't change a thing after the 2021 preliminary final loss, and his win percentage in preliminary finals is the same as Mark Williams this time in 2004.

Most Port supporters agree Williams underachieved. That’s the point.

Wouldn’t, couldn’t, didn’t know how to if he wanted to.

2004 was Mark Williams’ 6th year as senior coach. Hinkley is in his 11th. The longest at a single club without a grand final appearance in V/AFL history.

If Hinks is so great by all means lobby your club to take him off our hands. I’ll meet you in Horsham and buy you a beer.

Would you say Port have underachieved in the AFL? Their win percentage is better than that of the Crows but the Crows have won more flags.

I'd be happy to have Ken back as an assistant but not as head coach, simply because Chris Scott is the best coach in the AFL.

Mark Williams doesn't say things like
"We seen it and we done it."

Mark Williams is Port born and bred while Ken Hinkley is not, so I can see why they're judged differently.
I think a better comparison to Ken Hinkley is Mark Thompson when he was coaching us.

Thompson had underachieved before having a bad season in 2006 and having the team finally get it all together in 2007, similar to Hinkley underachieving before having a bad season in 2022 before having the team finally get it all together in 2023.

Mark Thompson bleeds red and black hence the nickname Bomber, so it's another reason why he's a good comparison to Ken Hinkley who bleeds blue and white.

I think you'll find he bleeds whichever sugar-free cola beverage is on offer.
