Can Port win a premiership under Ken Hinkley?

[Mr Meow]

Ken 7-3 away from home this year. Port better away than at home, it seems the problem with Port is their supporters.

He has the neutrals on his side though.

Ken if you are reading this later tonight, coke zero and cigar in hand...WE BELIEVE IN YOU!

It's ken's children now. Ken raised rozee jhf and butters. It would be rather cruel to not let him coach out there entire careers. After raising those kids.

Imagine raising the kids then seeing them ripped away from you as they are beginning to shine. Ken deserves the see out those threes footy careers

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I think this is the year.

They already had the midfield, and now have sorted their defence and forward line. Georgiades coming back from injury has been a huge boost for them, shifting Sav there has become a potent target plus Rioli is a quality small despite not having the physique for an AFL footballer. BZT has been a huge recruit for their backline too.

They should easily account for Geelong and, if they get the Swans in a Prelim, then they'll at least be in the GF for sure.

Port will go all the way. Houston will miss like Gaff did, but through a dumb action. Difference is Houston will jump ship.

As a foster parent he's created a safe second home for Esava, Willie Rioli, Zerk-Thatcher, Burton et al. too. They've become a bit of a destination club.

He has given Boak the elixir of eternal life.

No Houston? No problem.

West Coast were also missing Nic Nat, who was arguably better than Gaff.

 

[Roobs321]

Can we win it?
Yes we Ken!

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Kenny should get canned if Port misses the Grand final, this year. West Coast won the premiership in 2018 without 2 All-Australians out of the side through injury or suspension, so there's no excuses for Kenny who has had the ultimate grace period.

 

[steviewonder36]

Cats wont be easy even in Adelaide, but if they get past them, they can make the big dance.

 

[The 747]

Build that man a statue.

And Shep

 

[GoldbergsGold]

And Shep

Oh, yeah, 3, loads of depth to win 2018 with 3 All-Australians out, Port can't use the just 1 All-Australian out Houston excuse if they miss the Granny, when teams can win premierships with 3 AA's out.

Sweet is a competitive low-priced ruck whose acquisition didn’t take away from other spots on the ground. Which is exactly what a ruck needs to be - a battering ram for the classy & skilled midfielders

 

[Thrawn]

Ken is in the zen den.

 

[Freomaniac]

How many times and in how many threads are you going to post this repetitive loser garbage? Nobody respects your opinion.

talk about the loser mentality Freo had today? lol

Fremantle are like the Aldi version of Port and we are not even that good.

 

[Freomaniac]

Nope you are wrong....

Dockers are the IGA of Port... No worse, the Foodland of Port and even then thats an insult to Foodland and Port. lol

Port will at least make the grand final.

Port have beaten the cats in qualifying finals in SA.

Port Adelaide will then make a preliminary final. They will win that too

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I think they will win it this year. They’ve been consistently good for the past few years so they probably deserve one.

You beat the worst grand finalist ever.......... (That side only won 1 game against a top 8 team all year)

 

[Daka]

Why not the Cats? I think they're as good placed as any.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

It's a mixed bag, they're rightfully ticked off because Kenny has wasted 11 seasons, but I don't agree with the notion they want their team to literally lose or not win a premiership just because of Kenny. Especially claiming they're still going to be bitter if he hypothetically coaches them to a premiership, be bitter if he ultimately fails, not if he actually pulls off a premiership win.

Doesn't make sense. It reminds me of the Alan Scott incident when Alan Scott was wrong.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I don’t think we are that good this year. All the stats agree there. Too inconsistent and can’t stop teams when the get a run on.

I think this is the year Port win it. They look primed. I’m expecting them to beat us by probably 10 goals then go on and beat the Swans in the GF.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Port fans are the worst supporters in the league by far the way they treat their coach.

You’re acting like any supporter base wouldn’t turn on their coach after 11 years of no success. What an utter ridiculous statement. 11 years 5 finals wins, 0 GFs no premierships.

If he wins a premiership no supporter will hate him. We are bitter because the continuous media supporter that is shown towards this fraud. If he pulls off a premiership he deserves everything, give him another 5 year contract imo. He will deserve is. Problem is he had proven he can’t win them consistently. Doesn’t have the game plan
