[gbear]

Hi Josh, what are your learnings from Kenny?

That his is a clueless, ****ing bumpkin!

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I'm fully expecting Ken to use it as a chance to try and get ahead of any potential discussions around his sacking and put his stake in the ground about staying and declare he is the right man for the job.

Essentially letting them know that if they sack him he will make it difficult and he will demand a full pay out.

That has been repeated for years on end. Even the franchise don’t stick with coaches this ****ing long

Other clubs don't stick with premiership coaches this long lol

Exactly. The management of port are ****ing losers.

Farkin Longmire is more under the pump than this spud....what a world

Imagine the LA Lakers finishing in the top seedings four years out of five then bombing out in the play-offs, or Real Madrid getting eliminated from the UCL knock-out stages before the Final 4/5 years.

There's absolutely no way key people in the management structure would survive, nor would they be blindsided by their sacking. They'd expect it.

I guess by their actions the club is self-identifying as a minnow, which is exactly how Koch has publicly painted us since 2013. #LittleOldPort

Never mind the Lakers, the Toronto Raptors of all clubs sacked Dwane Casey after having finished high in the regular season but bombing out in the playoffs several years in a row, and then the very next season they immediately won their first and only championship.

Yep. We are pafc, weak as piss!

I thought Ken was on extended leave

Maybe he got wind of a meeting?

 

[Interstater]

The AFL has buttfked the expectations of a generation of the PAFC supporter base, and we the supporters have accepted it.

Pissing themselves laughing as they turn us into St Kilda while raking in the cash.

Not a single person in this club with the balls to change it.

 

[Harlott]

Would they even do phone calls while this dick head is on?

They haven’t for a long time

 

[Thunderer]

As mentioned before, would it be possible for Hinkley to announce his retirement on a sports show rather than a press conference?

(please, please let it be this)

 

[JayPea14]

When did we cease to exist to "and make our community proud"?
FWIW our Vision currently is "We exist to exist"

 

[fergulator72]

Seriously how to can we be 10+ days from our season ending and be undecided. That's bullshit. Decision should have been made the Monday after the crap we serve up during finals, one way or another.

We are not undecided,decision is made and Ken's staying,was made last year,the club said a week after we lost Ken's coaching in 2025.

More chance of 100 dollar bills flying out my arse.

...with pay.

 

[fergulator72]

Another top 4 finish and there's a chance of another extension.

Top 4 coaches don't get sacked,they get extensions

It'd be more like Ken to announce it at the B&F I think, where the fans he despises are locked out and he can get the adulation and a heroes send-off from the clapping seals in the crowd (players/employees/sponsors).

 

[Harlott]

Two options remaining. I think we can slam the door shut that he’s getting sacked.

1) He quits
2) He coaches ‘25

He’s on the 5AA sport show and I’m guessing it will be readable if he’s quitting. (Unlikely)

ps a succession plan scenario I think will work as well as the Buckley/Malthouse plan.

Malthouse/Buckley & Clarkson/Mitchell successions were both disastrous in terms of (1) becoming a disatraction and (2) how messy they got.

Roos/Goodwin worked okay but Melbourne were coming off the lowest base imaginable.

I don’t think you can compare the three. Malthouse didn’t want to go anywhere and I don’t think Clarkson was too happy being pushed out. I’d put Hinkley in that corner.

option 2 and he won't be coaching 25 as he won't last the season. It's all a complete waste of time.

I'm not sure the interview means much, it was probably teed up ages ago. It does also mean that the rumour that Ken is on extended leave is incorrect. Nobody is doing media like this on holiday, especially not Hinkley

Roos was the only one who voluntarily wanted to leave. He was brought in to Melbourne only with the intention to set up a solid base and then it was inevitable that someone else would take over, in this case, Goodwin.

Both Malthouse and Clarkson wanted to continue coaching, thus their unruly exits. It seems Port Adelaide are setting themselves up for some ugly scenes in 2025.
