Can Port win a premiership under Ken Hinkley?

It'd be more interesting to see how the Port faithful react if Kenny pulls it off and leads them to a flag finally.

"Sack him now. He can't get any better"

You could line up at the MCC members at 2pm grand final day and get seats on level 2.

Reckon this is 2016ish and other teams are falling over at the right time…you don’t have to be the best all year

A healthy list and firing in September will be enough to win the flag this year.

Teams are doing their best to choke in games they should be winning.

It wouldnt surprise me if a team outside the Top 4 wins the flag in 2024.

another contract extension

point the finger at anyone but hinkley

People keep saying that, like running out of patience with Ken is more important than the clubs success.

We’ve run out of patience because we think it’s overdue for a change in the best interests of the club’s success.

I’d be stoked if the club won and I (and many others) were wrong.

What if they lose a semi?

Really? The “home of football” is only interested in Victoria?

 

[Elixuh]

If Houston gets suspended, as one of their best players, then you can’t judge Kenny for this finals series. It’s basically a free hit.

There are pills for that

If Ken Hinkley bottles another preliminary final or goes out in straight sets this September, what would be his legacy as coach after a decade at the helm?

What a poor question to ask, one that reflects on your own character.

The question should be "what is Hinkley's legacy if Port win the premiership in 2024?"

Something something Josh Carr something something The Players Did It something something Lucky Fluke something something....

The question should be “what is hinkleys legacy when port win the premiership in 2024?”

Exactly!

Under my mentorship you have come a long way.

Which I guess makes me a young Hinkley. What a time to be alive!

Maybe you could coach Port under the father/son rule?

 

[GastevsBeard]

the sheer amount of cognitive dissonance for port fans - if ken manages to win a flag I think he will still be deemed a failure

 

[Taper]

Port have won 60% of their games under Hinkley and finished top 4 in four of the last five years, along with winning a minimum of 10 games every year during Hinkley's tenure.

List of clubs that have been in finals contention every year since Hinkley arrived,

• Geelong
• Port Adelaide

Sydney are next best, having been in finals contention for 10 out of the last 12 seasons.

2016 and 2022 are the only years where Port lost more games than they won.
2019 was the one year where they won 50% of their games.
Every other year of Hinkley's tenure has seen Port win more games than they've lost.

When you take into consideration just how bad Port were when Hinkley arrived, having won just eight games in the 2011-2012 seasons - then it's fair to say his legacy at Port will be a good one.

However, it goes without saying that Port need to win a flag under Hinkley for his legacy to be remembered as great.

then wouldn't it be a coaching problem if someone who's been coaching at a club for 10+ years, be unable to teach someone not to hit people in the head?

Why do you slander Kenny's good name?

Best list in the AFL.

Worst structure/coaching in the AFL.

We'll see where this takes Port

So Hinkley wasn't involved in creating the list?

 

[Knight82]

Surely this year he would be out the door after the final siren if they bottle another finals series.

If Port somehow win this year though - it would only be like Avengers Endgame you would think - "1 in 14 million where you win"

Will lose to Giants or Cats week one and then get done by the Lions the week after.
