The only lesson to be learned is that Ken Hinkley isn’t up to it.

Class should’ve been dismissed 7 years ago.

At the very least he should've been done at the end of 2022.

After barely making it through a 5 year stretch which yielded one solitary final (an embarrassing home elimination final defeat), he managed to get his team to back to back home preliminary finals - the first lost in somewhat admirable but still disappointing fashion, the second pound for pound one of the most disgraceful performances in the history of the comp. He then followed that up with his worst season - 10-12/11th - in what was his tenth season at the helm.

Any other club he's done at that point. His reign would've ended at 10 years and been somewhat comparable to say Brad Scott at North. But no, we continue on for at least another 2 years and surprise surprise have so far seen all of the same stuff as we had seen in the preceding 10 years - last year's home final meltdown followed by whatever middling crap this year will end up being.

Ken should've been gone at 2017 and anything after that is just derelict of duty.

The recent extension of Ken's coaching contract showed abundantly that Koch and the current administration don't care about doing well in finals because the decision was made in August and had been set for August all year.

Even though they say they want to win, their actions say otherwise.

They are frauds of the highest level.
 
I yelled at to Matthew Richardson (in jest with a smile on my face) “Sack Hinkley” at the Maggies game tonight

And got kicked out at half time

It means I missed their first goal half way through the 3rd quarter too. Big sad
I’m surprised he was even there.

But compare getting kicked out for that (assuming that was why you were removed) to what Dwayne was talking about on The Front Bar the other night, and how far has this club fallen.

Scrutiny, pressure and accountability come with the territory of being a PAFC custodian. If you’re too weak to handle it, **** off.
 
I don't know a whole lot about the Rogues Gallery down at Alberton but Richardson seems the person who is the least impressive of the bunch.

So the question I pose is that has he done anything?

That's insane. So there's no free speech in Aus. What, was he 'offended'? Poor diddums.
 
I went back to 2014 to our squad then and the day we played the Crows in the second round. How good was the squad and how brilliant was the play that day, so inspiring. Fast play on style of game and plenty of aggressive contest at the ball style and the will to win. How much belief I had that day that we were building to a new era. Now it seems so pointless, so sad.
 
It would be interesting to know if Carr is informed of the opinions on social media, BF in particular because his popularity is taking a dive big time.
He's working in a toxic environment and the natives are starting to go off him, me included, better than Hinkley but an infected Carr wont fix our problems. We need a massive clean out including the Chairman, CEO, Footy Manager, head coach and some assistant coaches, that will piss you off hey Kane.

Carr had to strike within the first couple of years if he was going to make his mark. Sitting 4 years under Hinkley waiting for a succession plan shows a lack of ambition. He should've gone for the Richmond job to send a signal to the Port hierarchy as a minimum. Respect Schofield 10x more for having the courage to pull the pin on the Hinkley shitshow.
 
Good to hear that Matthew Lloyd has finally come out publicly and stated that Port Adelaide can't win the premiership.

Gonna have a listen to find out if he blames the coach in any way.
Depends where he puts the blame.
Both Lloyd and Lethal saying we can't win it.
Say we've fallen into the top 4 for years. If we do this year it's because of injuries to other teams.
Cant see Esava, BZT, Dixon, Marshall, Mitch standing on a dias on GF day.

Ken's name not mentioned at all. Zero.

Yep Carr is showing signs of preferring to be comfortable rather than wanting desperately to get his hands on an AFL side to do his thing. Pulls out of the running of one of the biggest clubs in the land. It really has become a place of comfort down Alberton way.

ABC radio this morning as well. Mentioned we’re probably a good side, not a great side…no mention of the coach.

Totally unsurprising. It would be better if the pressure was on to win externally and not just the supporters. We're fickle and unrealistic according to them.
