Agree. Kens best is yet to come.

Just needs more time.

I think most of us on the sack Hinkley train burned out years ago. It's kinda just funny now. What will be interesting is if he actually cops some sort of media heat for the first time in his life.

After we pooed our pants in the 2021 prelim absolutely no one said anything and the club just went radio silent until the next pre season. Except Hinkley saying he "wouldn't change a thing".

I honestly feel for you, dude.

Like being stuck in a never ending loop.

It’s hard to watch this Hinkley/Port soap opera. I could probably only take five or six more seasons of it.

To be fair, same thing is going to happen at my club for the next few years

Everyone likes to hang shit on it, because it is pretty funny that he's still there. So I get it, I'd probably do the same.

But there's not a single supporter base that wouldn't be absolutely fuming with a club being taken over, railroaded to be a cult of personality around one guy. We are the ken Hinkley football club, and we're losers just like hinkley's entire playing career. There's a reason ken failed every job interview he had for the senior job, and we grabbed him because we were desperate.

One of the most ignorant and arrogant statements to make about an upcoming opponent in a final than what he made last weekend.

Least your club and Bevo have a flag to hang their hat on.

Ken hasn't even made a Grand Final.

Why can't Kochie see Ken clearly cannot coach PAFC to a flag despite having some very strong lists over the years

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Don’t you love all those tactical changes he made through the game to get us back up and going?

Tactical genius we have here. Not a single change. Exactly the same as the last 10 years too. Not a tactical thought in his head.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

I remain bullish on Port Adelaide's future. I remain a believer in Ken.

The list is in transition with some of the most talent young guns in the competition. They will peak in two years. Wines, Dixon, Lycett, Boak are on the way out. Ken is who you want developing the youth. Watch out.

You do realise Ken was also there when wines, Boak, Dixon etc were the youth and he also achieved nothing with them?

He’s shaped the whole list over the course of a decade and we still come short with the same failures as we did a decade ago. The man just doesn’t learn or know how to adapt.

His philosophy is that if we do the same thing over and over for long enough, eventually we will get lucky and the stars will align. Hasn’t happened after a decade but hey, let’s give it a few more years to try the same thing.

What did he say?

 

[Giant Pete]

Made silly comments leading into the game.

 

[Orange Agent]

What did he say?

Was asked if he was worried about playing us. Replied no, we beat them easily in Rd 22 and continued to bring up that game during the week in media stuff.

Out of contract this year.
Surely Koch and Co consider whether he’s the man that takes them forward.

 

[Elixuh]

why did port re-sign kenny pre-finals, diabolical decision

 

[Taper]

Koch re-signed him for two more years in August, because he didn't want the contract situation to become a distraction come finals.

Keep the faith my friend.

Ken's only getting started.

The dodo still being there is bad, but at least he's only the list manager instead of the head coach.

 

[Del165198]

What did he say?

Lol basically said the giants better watch out because we beat them a month or so ago.

He's a ****en brainless dropkick.

Dear god, help us all

Poor decisions like this cost clubs. Hinkley time is up not this year but last and the same goes for Fagan if he can't win the flag now it's never under him.
