Highly doubtful they will extend Hinkley contract even if he make finals, there's no way a club will stay with a coach for over 10 years without making a Grand Final let a lone win a premiership even if it's someone like Kochie is at the helm. Even Kane Cornes said Hinkley has to win a premiership for his contract to be extend beyond next year but we can only hope. And at worst he will still be coach and they will be a year behind the rebuild with a lesser draft hand this and next year unlike us when Pyke decided to resign after 2019 when he still was contracted.There are about 8 wins left they will flat track
Then 2 unexpected wins, maybe Geelong in Kardinia Park.
Really no different to 2020/21. Flat track on bad teams and jag one or two wins against good sides.
Showdown Round 23 could be renamed the Ken Extension Cup.
They will get their mojo back soon. I think a big reason for their early malaise is quite a few players getting COVID in Feb.
I am not saying they will do it easily. Just scrape in. They won't win a Final. Making the eight is enough for Ken to earn his extension for 24/25
