My wife is a massive Port fan and I always read her the posts here when Port are losing lol - she usually watches the whole game nomatter the score but now has gone off to bed so it must be depressing her šŸ˜Ŗ

Itā€™s 3:25am here. Iā€™m awake to the end.

Reporter: Ken, that was a very dissapointing effort from your boys today. What were your thoughts?

Ken: Look, I think we, uh, need to work harderer for longerer. The, uh, simple things, could have been done better. Thereā€™s a lot of learnings that we havenā€™t learnt but we will continue to learn and do betterer.

Reporter: You lost by 80 points. Do you feel like thereā€™s any pressure on you?

Ken: Well, look, numbers, uhh, I donā€™t believe in numbers. Theyā€™re a state of mind. Numbers lie. (guzzles Coke Zero) But, uh, the, uh, boys love me. I love them. I like to say thatā€™s the things I love most, the boys and the Coke Zero (reaches for second Coke Zero). Brisbane is a good team and they will play in the finals. They have good players like uhhā€¦ Michael Akermanis, and uhh, Jonathan Brown. We donā€™t have the cattle, weā€™re uh, a youngerer team than ever. Uhhā€¦ you know, our list isnā€™t talented.

Reporter: Ken, your list is pretty talented. Finals are the expectation. Why arenā€™t you performing?

Ken: Iā€™m not bothered if we uhh, miss the finals, because finals are, uh, finals are scary. The boys know what they need to do, the learnings they need to learn. They need to take a leaf out of Jed McEnteeā€™s book. If more of our boys played with the forward presence of McEntee we would play betterer (long burp) for longerer.

Reporter: 12 years, and youā€™ve done nothing but embarrass your club. What do you say to the people who want you to step down?

Ken: (reaches for fifth coke zero can) Uhhā€¦. Well uhā€¦ Iā€¦ The people who rally against me, the uhh, ā€œwhite noiseā€, need to go down to Alberton and learn about the Ken Hinkl- sorry, the uh, Port Adelaide Power club. All I know is David Koch supports me, he pulled me aside and told me ā€œKenny, itā€™s ok. Iā€™ll give you another contract. Everything is alright.ā€ I saved this club. (unintelligible) The tarps, you all remember the tarps. I saved this club. I got rid of the tarps. I did that. All those (sneers) SANFL Pordadelaide ā€œlegendsā€, THEY never got rid of the tarps. So you should thank me.
 
Nobody from Koch down gives a toss. There's no accountability anywhere in the Club. Hell most of the board aren't even supporters. Hinkley's dross is perfectly acceptable if memberships keep rising and the finances balance.
Sadly this is so true.

Last thing I expected to see in here was a long post from a Hawks supporter. Weird.
