Rumour Assistant Coach Gossip

[PowerBaz]

Not the plan right now.

They think LK's role was minimal and that it can easily be absorbed by Sutcliffe. It's ridiculous. You compared the coaching group from 2014 when the Club was serious about contending to now, and it's chalk and cheese.

It needs to be brought up on radio. You go to the draft to better yourself every year, if you don’t you’re going knowhere.

You’d think the same mentality would be driving standards in the coaches box

 

[Duck Farmer]

Voss was the big one, everyone shat on him but I think he was good for us, and would’ve been great for our young midfield group.

I still think he was the obvious succession plan .

To have a succession plan you first need a plan to get rid of the fücker at the top.

Not sure why people want good assistants in 2025. It just gives them a whole year to be made worse as they're influenced by loser culture, and does nothing for the team because we arent winning shit with or with out them.

Save money til we get rid of the muppet.

Agree with this. Muppet needs a plural.

You get what you deserve, the club that is. Not one of them is a winner. All average in their own ways. We supporters just keep watching the inevitable play out.

We are not getting nothing new.
As one falls another from the group of losers will take over.

 

[gbear]

Probably inclined to agree. We appoint from within this year and it's so much easier to just sweep with the broom next year.

A whole fresh start would be a positive long term goal.

I agree, but I am not sure the muppets in charge of the club are actual that smart or forward thinking!

Terrorising opposition players during your playing career, was apparently very high in the Essential criteria in the Job and Person Spec.

Would they have chatted to Camporeale?

Feels like it’s simply in a holding pattern re Ken or nobody actually wants to come here.

They did.

 

[PowerBaz]

They did.

Yeah right. Why wouldn’t you want a look back at AFL level? Pretty rare opportunities in your own state.

I'm not too sure what happened there. At one stage a few months back I think he wanted a senior assistant title and Port baulked at that. Then they circled back to him but it never eventuated.

I think they've made a conscious decision to punt this upcoming season and then go into 2026 afresh with a largely new coaching staff as most of them are off contract at the end of next year.

Ken wouldn't like a senior assistant, man it reeks down there. (also why baulk at that?) - not really wanting too improve are they.

I agree we are punting on next year, I reckon I can see where it will head too.

 

[PowerLil]

Ken Hinkley baulks at senior assistant. Shocked to be sitting here.

So they’ve given up on 2025?

Or they are delaying the decisions again in the hope of being in a position to delay the decisions again.

Much more likely given their history.

Last year was good enough, why would you need to improve.

 

[Lefti93]

Haha, holding pattern for 2025. Could the place be more of a joke? They deserve nothing good.

Well they have to make a decision because Ken's contract expires end of next year. So your premise is inherently false.

Cam Sutcliffe

I can't believe it either, but maybe no assistants from other clubs want to work under Hinkley - which I can fully understand. So we're left with Sutcliffe, or one of the barmen from The Precinct .
