Whilst that may be true if Port win the flag this year then Ken will go down as a Premiership winning coach in the history books

i agree. i been there a few times
I think that's a myth because Port people don't want to admit that Hinkley is doing a good job.
I think Assistant Coaches get all the praise when things are going well but escape scrutiny when they go bad.

Port long standing supporter have an inherent distrust of "outsiders" added to the old Port Adelaide Magpies matra of we win the premiership or we fail.Why does everyone hate Ken Hinkley so badly at Port Adelaide, you guys are freckin 2nd
Take me back to the good old days in 2011/2012 when M.Primus was leading the Tarp Parade at West Lakes
* Will always remember being at the ground and watching that come by behind victory against North Melbourne in 2012 though, what a game.
There's never been an acceptance that making finals under a foreign coach was good enough.

Imagine if the club were actually in the doldrums for 5+ years, Alberton Oval would be burned down to ashes
Would you like him a your club?Why does everyone hate Ken Hinkley so badly at Port Adelaide, you guys are freckin 2nd

Like Simon Goodwin, no idea how to coach but got very lucky and is in the history books.

If you asked me pre 2017, I would have said YES
But now that both clubs are in same position, probably not

Is that an Alex Lahey reference?
Feelinhg a bit sorry for Stewie Dew. The argument of "we only lost by a goal last time and we lost by a bunch last weekend" is ignoring the fact that Collingwood were still working things out but tin-arcing their way through a lot of games, whereas this year they are up and running and regularly killing teams.
Yeah they have their issues, but the last 2 weeks aside (losing after the bye like most this year, and then getting pumped by a certain grand-finalist) they've generally looked alright.

Think you've nailed the Port supporter mindset there.
Interesting that the two teams dominating the comp have coaches who appear to be great people managers, who coach from the bench and who are supported by astute assistants. Almost like you neeall great coaching team to be successful, rather than one messiah.
What they do in their privacy is nobody's business but their own
All things considered, Longmuir has been the more disappointing coach given the talent in that squad
Superb stuff MM
New order
1. Dew
2. Simmo
3. Longmuir
Freo have a top 6 list. Massive disappointment.
Too many poor games.
Voss is now safe.

assuming you meant Longmuir. Longmire is an interesting topic but not for this thread
Voss was always safe. board had to back him and it's his start to 2024 that will define him. though i said the same on Rutten...so a couple of 10 goal losses could change that
last month has proven nought for the blues.
The infinite sadness of Freo
I had high hopes for Freo this season. Then they go and give Walters and Fyfe two extra years when one was enough.
I know they are still young but sheesh.
Positive for the year is Amiss is a star .

I think the AFL's moved on from mid-year coach sackings and I don't see any coach being sacked before the end of this season.
I highly doubt Dew and Longmuir coach their current clubs in 2024.. but given their seasons are shot there's no incentive to sack either coach now.
I'm also not sold that Clarkson returns full-time so North might also be in the market. I don't think Brett Ratten would be the permanent solution in that situation.
Competition for Dimma's signature would have been hot if the AFL didn't get involved and brown paper bag him all the way to Queensland.

Don't think they have "moved on".
Noble was sacked in July last year.
Will happen again at some stage
