Coach Has Ken Hinkley Been Found Out?

[peetoo]

Will be heartbroken he can't lie down and lose by 119 to Geelong next weekend.

…when he was at Geelong?

 

[Kram]

I guess we won't be seeing him carrying on like a pork chop tonight.

Port are playing with the body language and intensity of Melbourne 2009.

 

[Greasyrhys]

We are PAFC, NOT ken hinkley FC!!!

 

[sobrave]

He just needs a few more years

 

[peetoo]

Port fans back to booing him

 

[RCAB]

First coach in history to win only 2 quarters out of 12, in a finals series.

The story tonight from BT & co - the boys played for Ken, they love Ken, they have so much love for him that they bounced back.

Not withstanding their own competitive fires after being embarrassed last week.

Not withstanding that they tried to tell us it was Port players being flat last week. Poor Ken. Couldn’t do anything about that!

Geez the media really suck a fat one on Ken.

Against a side he has continuously out coached since 2016 he has his best chance for a grand final and then it’s anyones flag - but **** me until it ACTUALLY HAPPENS he’s just in the same Deja vu spot yet again of winning through to a prelim…and yet the likes of BT have him up there as a Chris Scott/Clarkson/Lethal tier flag coach.

Richo once again with the players love Ken, they play for Ken, every time they have a bad loss they bounced back which shows Richo they play for Ken.

Except eventually Richo you absolute buffoon you come to the end of your motivation “do it for him” ride & there is no next week to bounce back.

This embarrassing rhetoric has been going on for years. Its torture.

After 12 seasons he's still in search of a Grand Final berth - yet to be found - keep looking Ken!

 

[Cleric]

To be honest, I think getting that list to a preliminary final is over achieving

 

[SAweagle]

Success in AFL is measured in premierships. Ken is the AFLs longest serving loser. Over 270 games without even reaching a Grand Final.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Give him another 10 years please.

What's wrong with what Richo said? They probably do play for him. The problem is that the players aren't good enough and the game plan was crap. Bombing it into Dixon, Esava and Georgiades may look good in theory but Dixon can't mark any more, Esava is a bigger version of Frampton and Georgy is a lead/mark player. Plus, apart from Rioli, the smalls are average at best. Port were never going to be able to score enough to win.

Ah yes, the crap gameplan. If only we had some sort of tactician who was in charge of that gameplan and had the ability to make changes to it.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Port fans back to booing him

We never stopped booing him.

Just because we won a semi that didn’t make anyone want him to stay.

Dam it felt good to be able to boo in person last night.

This was all you needed to say. Stop blaming players for a **** game plan.

Notice how swans changed up their plan of attack after the first quarter when Aliir was marking everything? What did Ken do when our game plan didn’t work?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I don't think his approach stands up in finals

 

[TRP1996]

Magical thread. The Great Ken truly is the great unifier.
