Coach Has Ken Hinkley Been Found Out?

[ibd77]

Port fans need to look at the Ricciuto situation at the Crows, and realise they are likely to end up with a situation like that at their own club if Tredrea gets to have a similar level of power and influence.

Different circumstance. Tredders is member elected, very much opposed by the chairman and his personal 8 elected board members.

Tredders won his spot by one of the highest voting member attendance in club history.

Ricciuto is a board appointed and can't be removed by the members.

Lol Lingy on ABC: "You know what's worse than winning 2 out of 9 finals? Winning 8 out of 35 games. And that's not having a go at Matthew."
A. Sure sound like having a go.
B. Is it really that much better? I don't reckon so, having experienced both but in the reverse order to Port supporters.

For the benefit of everyone who wasn’t listening to ABC at this exact moment, can you please enlighten us as to who Matthew is

For all the hysteria Port are 9-6 and only a half game out of 3rd on the ladder.

5 more years?

How you Port fans loving this interview with Sarah Jones? You'd think they've just knocked off the Swans ala Freo yesterday, rather than an armchair ride from the umps to a 2 point win over Port's 15 placed bunnies the Saints.

Gutsy win on the road by Port today.
St Kilda aren't easy beats at Docklands, just ask Gold Coast.

Hinkley was on the verge of tears power fans.

Have some empathy. If it's making ken tear up it's making the club and players as well.

Sickening fawning by the simping media puppets.

Finals are scary, but Saints at Telstradome on a Sunday arvo is pretty frightening too! Step in the right direction

This win is boiling the piss of Port fans. It’s hilarious.

A loss would have probably been breaking point, did it in such a turgid way against a 15th placed opponent it’s going to buy him time

 

[Elite Master]

I think Ken has earned a contract extension. Yes we Ken!

 

[Elixuh]

The type of win we saw today is a culture and club building win. Port and Kenny’s backs were against a wall and they put the sword to the mighty Sainters.

They’ve gotta let him see out to the end of 2025 and then re-assess whether Kenny deserves another deal.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Please keep Hinkley until the end of the year. We have their first round pick, and it is getting better.

Adelaide Talkback is always a fun listen.

Civil War should start sometime Tuesday, Tredrea president by Thursday.

don't get port-fans chubby for hating Ken

9-6 is about right for port

After seeing what's happened to the Crows since Ricciuto has exerted his power and influence at board level, I can't see what could go wrong at Port if they let Tredrea gain power on the board.

Oh shit, you mean we might go 20 years without a flag? Maybe 2 finals wins in 10 years? Set a world record for least successful coach ever? Refuse stubbornly to do anything about it? Have a clueless breakfast tv schmuck as chairman?
Yeah that would be terrible if an ex players and premiership captain had any power. It's much better with the AFL appointed stooges on the board running us into the ground.

The team that finished top 4 in 3 of the last 4 years? And was supposed to have improved by getting an extra years development into JHF, Rozee and butters? And added "missing pieces of the puzzle" in the off season?

In the mid table log jam? Squeaking past a bottom 4 side after getting belted by 14 goals last week? That's "about right"? When the coach says it's the best list ever? You're full of shit. The club would have been aiming for a grand final at minimum and has failed dismally. You don't get to change the goalposts halfway through the season and say the list is now shit.

 

[sobrave]

Everyone knows ken is a lame duck loser. This thread is literally just people trolling now about how ken is a great coach, when they know he's a meme.

It's cruel and unusual punishment.

you're effectively outside the top 4 on percentage - season still alive

& painful truth is other teams choc with young talent are rocketing right past Port - namely Sydney & Carlton

Neutral supporters would see Port's position on the ladder as about right

I'm not saying we're good or going to win anything. That's kind of the whole point. We CANT win anything with dickhead at the helm. That's the whole point.

You don't just view this in the context of one season. It's twelve ****ing years and he should have been sacked years ago.

The best time to sack him was 2015. The second best time is now.

Neutral supporters with half a brain would see that the dissatisfaction with Hinkley is based on a decade of choking in big games and finals that we were favourites to win, not based on our home and away ladder position in June of season 12 at the helm.

We could be 15-0 right now and I'd still want him sacked, because I've seen what happens once he gets to finals.

Kenny was in tears after the game and said he wants the job. Thats good enough for me.
