Coach Has Ken Hinkley Been Found Out?

[Borussia Teeth]

Freomaniac agrees with me when it comes to Hinkley, and he's on record saying he'd love Hinkley to coach the Dockers.

Like that’s some sort of validation! He’s got a loser mentality that would settle for his team just making a final, let alone achieving anything. Port fans would happily send Kenny to Fremantle!

Also, you and Freo maniac really need to stop cupping Kenny’s balls… it’s really quite disturbing.

That is a spectacularly low bar.

They have lost finals by 84, 48 and 71 points in the last four years.

The two biggest losses you listed were also at home.

 

[Freomaniac]

That's because he's been cursed with following Freo & South Adelaide, he'd take 2nd in the egg & spoon race as a high water mark.

Given the choice....

If we are talking about the last 10 seasons..... So between 2015 to 2024, Whos last 10 seasons you rather have?

Option 1. Dockers. Finish top in 2015, Prelim final loss. No finals between 2016-21. Elim final win in 2022. No finals in 2023-24.

Option 2. Port Adelaide. No finals in 2015-6. Elim final loss in 2017. No Finals in 2018-9. Prelim finals in 2020-21. No finals in 2022. Finals in 2023-4.


I know which one I would take. Option 2 easily. Dockers have only won 2 finals in the last 10 years. Port has won 3.

Acutally if we also add 2014 as well. Dockers won only 2 finals in the last 11 seasons since their 2013 grand final loss to Hawks. Port has won 5 finals since the end of 2013, if you include those 2 finals wins in 2014.

 

[Freomaniac]

How you can lose home finals by that much is staggering.

Port have won 6 finals under Ken Hinkleys coaching era.

Ah the loser mentality.

More like.... hmm There is only 8 finals spots. 10 teams miss out. Make it 11 when Tassie comes in and 12 when a 20th side in the AFL comes in too.

Yeah you are chuffing now because the Magpies just did enough to win the 2023 flag. So... Did the magpies win a final in 2024? nope.

I still think Ken Hinkley is a solid coach. He just hasnt had a season where his team has finished top 4 and won 2 finals in a row to get a flag.

Again.... 6 finals from 2013 to 2024 isnt a bad record. How many current coaches have won more finals than Ken Hinkley in the last 12 seasons?

They are both terrible options they've both won nothing.

Kenny has seen the blue print to success that the Brisbane Lions implemented this season and he'll do his best to replicate that success for Port Adelaide in 2025.

 

[Taper]

The fact that Kenny’s team regularly shit the bed in home finals is a far greater indictment on his record than anything you’ve posted in support of him. Kenny’s fine, he’s good, but he’s no better than that.

It’s a far greater achievement to actually win a grand final, let alone make a grand final, than being in “finals contention” (not premiership contention!) during the season and underperforming when it really counts.

Also, don’t try and compare Port to Geelong, that’s just embarrassing.

Have you seen our finals record under Chris Scott from 2012 to 2021?
7 wins 15 losses.

Also, we've had superstars such as Taylor, Stewart, Hawkins, Selwood, Dangerfield and Cameron play their best footy under Scott.
How many players of this calibre have Port had during the Hinkley era?

Back One Out is another poster on here who can vouch for Hinkley being a good coach.
I've never talked up Hinkley as a supercoach or anything, he's done well to take ordinary lists to high ladder finishes and I'd happily have him back as an assistant but he's nowhere near as good as Chris Scott.

Ok, that’s enough. Now you can stop posting about Kenny.

For the mental health of Port Adelaide fans. You hope that is the case.

The hatred of a club towards their current coach is unprecedented.

It's almost as bad as the USA with the Pro Donald Trump and anti Donald Trump supporters fighting each other in the street.

 

[Freomaniac]

They are both terrible options they've both won nothing.

Both clubs in Port Adelaide and Fremantle have both won more finals in the last 15 years than Essendon and gold coast.

Hell.... This time next season. In 2025, we can also add the saints too if they don't win a final.

Saints have only won 1 final since their last grand final in 2010.

I'd have Trump at HQ he would've sacked Ken about 8 years ago.

Ken is that great he coaches better in away finals. Genius

And appointed himself? Make Port great again

Koch would be his bitch in about 5 seconds flat.

I am sure he would.

When Ken Hinkley is gone, will you have any animosity towards Ken Hinkley? LoL

Lets just say Ken has politely declined a farewell motorcade around Adelaide Oval when he retires unless the armored Popemobile is available

Yeah I assumed a crazed Port fan will be armed with a revolver or a sniper rifle to try and shoot Ken Hinkley lol

He'll piss off back to yokel Victoria never to be seen again in these parts when it's finally over & we'll be more than fine with that.

Perhaps he'll go back to Bell Park that's his true wheelhouse.
