[PAFC66]

Hardwick to Port confirmed.

 

[bomberclifford]

Timing is very interesting.
Who is their caretaker coach?

 

[PAFC66]

Ken Hinkley will be here for the next ice age.

 

[spookism]

Your not going to get a three time premiership coach playing second fiddle to a rookie.
I reckon if he goes to another club it will be West Coast.
They would love him over here.

Surely he's quitting because he doesn't want to rebuild.

highly doubt West Coast will be on the top of his list.

I think this year has shown Josh Carr has already gone past Hardwick as a coach, Hardwick should jump at the opportunity to learn from one of the best.

Ken?

Teague being reported

 

[Premiers04]

He can't wait for Hinkley to get sacked, and time goes faster when you're not working.

Away from the BS of Melbourne and would be treated like a King over here by the press.
Plus I don’t want him at Port.

Because of this?

Voss/Simpson/Hardwick shuffle.

Voss/Simpson/Hardwick shuffle.

It’s just a jump to the left.

So far Twitter has Hardwick going to Port, the Eagles and Carlton. He hasn't even quit yet

Teague or Rutten according to Fox.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Depending on how much stress he wants.
If he doesn't want the stress of being a coach then being senior assistant/director of coaching with Carr as senior coach would be a good move.

 

[chiwigi]

I’d love to see Hinkley go to a big Vic club so he can be truly scrutinized and found out to be such a crap coach.

He’ll asset strip us as soon as he can, Butters and Wines would be top of his list.

 

[PowerBaz]

Is coming to a bubble of a two team town worse than being at Richmond?

He has looked burnt out too. I guess it’s easier to call time after you’ve won three flags.

Ken still has a better winning %.

 

[TazD]

Crazy to throw away a lucrative AFL coaching career to focus on a speculative Burnout career.

 

[Jonts]

Its interesting cause by the end of the year i think Dew and Simpson are also gone

The way Simpson looked on TV tonight he will be lucky to last till the end of the week.

 

[Izzy01]

That will be a problem considering how much they love Daddy.
Hopefully the enticement of a potential premiership with us will make them stay.

 

[Powerade 08]

Probably going to Carlton. Voss is done

The fans wont accept sacking another coach 1.5 years in unless they are getting an obvious upgrade

 

[PowerBaz]

How many coaches have won flags at multiple clubs? Can’t be many.

The $$$ are lining up for Kenny - he’s going to win one way or another in the $ department.

I've been hearing for at least a year Hardwich wants to get the f**k out of Melbourne. He's had enough. That doesn't mean he necessarily wants to come back to Adelaide, but i think he'd relish an environment like ours. I also think he'd be even better as a senior assistant/mentor overseeing Josh Carr as Senior Coach.
