Can Port win a premiership under Ken Hinkley?

[Schulzenfest]

Is there a reason it can’t be a combination?

I would get rid of him no question fwiw so I’m not disagreeing with you

There’s 3 ex cats that have played this finals series for you that aren’t up to standard for starters

What is the value of this conversation?

Hinkley has proven over twelve years and multiple list builds that he's not up to it and he never will be. There's no guarantee that a new coach will win more premierships with this list. But there is an absolute 100% guarantee he won't win less.

If you want to talk about Port's list, start a thread about it. This is the Hinkley thread.

The point is endlessly shuffling deck chairs isn't going to get the job done.

If we need to turn over a few and drop down the ladder for a few years, do it, but at least so it with a fresh approach.

Great point - Narkle has talent, but is a defensive liability.

Frank Evans is not a quite AFL level unfortunately - the effort is not the problem.

Esava Ratugolea - well, how long have you got? Maybe a good back-up going forward; can play tall in all areas of the ground. But not very well.

What about the biggest Geelong shit truck of all, Hinkley? Can we get rid of him too?

Fair call

Cats fans pumping HARD in defence of Hinkley. What de-list level players are Port giving you draft picks for this offseason?

 

[catters05]

I wonder if he will walk……. Into the eagles coaching job. Imagine if he won a flag with the Eagles….

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Yes. I believe.

Esava has looked so many times like he’s on the brink of becoming a decent player but never managed it. There has to be a better option

I’m not. I would get rid of him immediately

 

[saintal]

Koch and co don't have the balls to move him on. He'd rather bitch and moan about the SANFL and create other distractions.

 

[Delisted]

I do not think Port Adelaide can win a premiership under Ken Hinkley.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

They cannot. They're the best downhill skiing team you'll ever see. Will smash teams in the season, then the finals roll around and they go to water. This isn't new information, this is 12 years worth. But they'll roll Kenny back out next year. The most Teflon bloke in the sport.

In his presser trying to look humble in defeat straight after looking like a knob after last weeks win ……..

 

[kickazz]

David King good point about Houston and Farrell. You don't need that at this time of year.

Only lost by 6 goals to the best team all year.

Still there's some guys in that team that aren't quite good enough.

I think he is a good coach but it's probably time to move on and try at another team and for Port to try with fresh leadership.

No, as a crows supporter who doesn’t like port, I can confidently say he was spot on last week, as most of the football world has also confirmed - Hawthorn’s glass jaw was justifiably shattered. You absolutely deserved his jibes, and it’s time to grow the hell up and get over it.

Gotta agree.
I definitely misjudged, not for the first time.

Guessing you think the camp was no big deal

Guessing your brain cell count is fairly low….

I think he is a chance to walk, not to the Eagles though. I think he needs 12 months away from the game.

Last week was weird behaviour for a Senior Coach post game. A number of times this year he has been far too emotional and look incredibly stressed.

I'm not sure he has another full year in him.

Of course you can get rid of a coach that got you to a Prelim in 2024.

Can't have Frank Evans as your sub moving forward/

 

[Rotayjay]

The Ken Hinkley Football Club will bounce back this week in typical 'Do it for Daddy' style & then get slaughtered in Sydney.. Electric!!

Prescient.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Prescient.

Pretty obvious.

Port is not quite there - I don't think Geelong is either in 2024; some holes; perhaps a lack of resolve.

Port should not be pilloried for their 2024 campaign imo; they are just not quite there, and yet they gave it their all.
No shame imo.

Prescient.

As predictable as the sun rising in the morning mate.
