There are not a lot of people on this site who have worked with him personally who have anything good to say about the bloke.
And then you look at the results and you just have to know he truly is a professional BSer.
That's good to hearI've heard that Koch is actually quite self aware around his lack of football knowledge/experience and leans heavily on others when it comes to football matters. He's far from the biggest problem at the club.
Thatās the opposite of what Iāve heard, and this is from someone who has had direct access to the board room. Kochkead canāt help himself but interfere and intervene where he shouldnāt.I've heard that Koch is actually quite self aware around his lack of football knowledge/experience and leans heavily on others when it comes to football matters.

My response to this is the same as when I hear that the attitude and expectations of the supporter base might drive players away.You just know the narrative once Hinkley is gone will be about 'why anyone would want to coach Port when the fans turn on the coach with a 60% winning record, they have no realistic expectations...blah blah blah'
Hinkley thinks Fibonacci is what Donna gives him when she glams up his bolognese.Thatās because like all the great masterpieces it adheres to the Golden Ratio.

Adolf Hinkley night of the long knives coming up
My response to this is the same as when I hear that the attitude and expectations of the supporter base might drive players away.
The response: āGoodā
If a coach or player canāt handle the heat of being of being in the Port Adelaide kitchen, then **** off.
We only want those who are going to embrace the expectations and pressure, and embrace the ethos.
If our ācarry onā as supporters helps us separate the wheat from the chaff, then great.

Lol we'd be appealing af to coach. Absolute gun young midfield. Some talent to work with at both ends. Depth not great but overall pretty young. A fanbase absolute desperate for change, of any kind, wanting to be engaged.
We arenāt a real club in their minds.Yeah, the āwhoād wanna be a coach / whoād wanna coach there?!ā handwringing is out of this world.
Ken Hinkley has literally been given more rope and loot than any other coach with his desolate record of achievements in the entire history of the game.
His sob story consists of:
ā¢ āthey started booing me when we were en route to a 100pt home smashing to the 13th-placed team at homeā,
ā¢ āthey put up a sticker and some cardboard signs on Port Roadā,
ā¢ ātheir living GOAT suggested my position was untenable after back-to-back smashings in my 11th season, which was also a contract yearā.
The horror of it!
Itās about time we heard some journalism to compensate for what is Helen Lovejoy levels of pearlclutching, particularly from a cohort which has been happy to call for Clarko, Bevo, Goodwin and Simpsonās head in the past ā the latter they just gleefully tapdanced on his grave.
I recently had the same question from my mum. My grandfather made the team of the century for PAFC 1900-2000 ffs. The propaganda is deep.I still cop, āwho are we gonna get to replace him then, hmmm?ā, from that cohort of fans as if the club is based in downtown Kyiv and a condition of employment is a one-way trip to the front.
We arenāt a real club in their minds.
We are a variation of a local SA club. Since 2007 we have not warranted any real attention. If anything 2007 started the validation of their view for our rightful place.
Weāve since rolled over and become an entertainment product to align with those views. Weāre a cute little SA team trying our best, with leaders enabling this narrative.
Itās all very unacceptable really.
Itās internal leadership. Whilst everyone steering the company need not be a PAFC traditionalist that expects to win, we need a better balance. Having the odd Holly to focus on their lane is ok, but when that type is overly represented you end up withā¦. us right now.100%. Holding coaches and board members to account, and demanding better than stable mediocrity and just making up the numbers is the domain of real football clubs.
Thatās the real story here.
Whenever a manager comes to me at work worried about firing someone I tell them two things:Where do these goldfish in the media get the idea that Hinkley is loyal to anything other than his wallet?

pfft easy for you to say, as someone who is not in a greyhound syndicate with the employeesWhenever a manager comes to me at work worried about firing someone I tell them two things:
1) no person likes to come to work and underperform. They might not realise it yet, but this is better for them and us.
2) with this person staying in the role you are preventing another person out there from coming in and succeeding. Think about them.
The fact we had a ++ to point 1, as in, the person had another opportunity that would actually suit them better, and we still ****ed it up is remarkably poor club leadership. Remarkably.
13 years with a failed coach tell otherwise.I've heard that Koch is actually quite self aware around his lack of football knowledge/experience and leans heavily on others when it comes to football matters. He's far from the biggest problem at the club.
No current season stats available
The media genuinely believe that Hinkley deserves to be cut an infinite amount of slack for sticking it out in a hardship post for over a decade.Yeah, the āwhoād wanna be a coach / whoād wanna coach there?!ā handwringing is out of this world.

Agree, needs a supportive leadership team around to help him through this. Board better wipe their chins from the hinkley era.Carr is going to have a very difficult time of it when he does take the reigns. Not only has Hinkley handicapped him by trading all of our draft picks for years, his media mates will no doubt be hell bent on getting their revenge by questioning the Hinkley sacking any time we lose a game. Hinkley himself will likely be white anting Carr behind the scenes, that's just the sort of bitter and twisted individual he is.
So Carr is going to have to get things right very early in the piece. Make it a priority to hit the draft hard and surround yourself with good people and people who know what Port Adelaide is about. First two phone calls should be to Jarrad Schofield and Mark Williams. Build a strong team right from the start.
