Its time ken, give it away mate, it's not going to happen at Port.

Let the players, supporters and yourself move on and heal.

Great club people all have one thing in common, to leave the club in a better place than they found it.
You took us from rock bottom Ken, dont lead us back there again, step aside and give someone else a go.
To build on the foundation that you set.

If you care as much for the players as they care for you then give them an opportunity to shine and fulfill their careers under someone else, don't take that from them as it would be the definition of selfishness.

Ports been good for you ken, and you were good for Port, but its time now.
Don't wait to be sacked, be that guy that gave his all and accept that it just wasn't quite enough, we'd respect you more for it.
Na. I would never respect the parasite. I want to see him shattered, but we will just witness an over medicated cretin just smile and dribble down his stained shirt as he walks into the sunset with suitcases overflowing with $$$

Seeing Kane thinks Bevo should go and Hinkley is the best thing since sliced bread, how about he pushes him as the next coach of the Dogs.
I'd like to hear Kane's comments if Bevo's Dogs beat us by 7 goals on Saturday week - he'll no doubt find a silver lining for Ken.
 
Also for a coach who’s biggest brag is that he’s a real friend of the players this ****ing ******* has stood by and watched butters and jhf get treated like a 1950’s suburban housewife to an abusive drunk husband week after week and not had the balls to stand up at any of the million chances he gets on a weekly basis to talk about it and put pressure on the afl / umps like every other coach has done when their star players cop half the physical attention butters has.


Every game now I’m watching butters off the ball and his opponent has his back to the stoppage and is just jumper punching, hitting butters in the throat, holding , and so on and it’s one thing that the umpires don’t do shit about but then the ratshit media is then highlighting the occasions when butters has the nerve to stand up for himself.

As if butters should thank the campaigners for not using lube while they ass**** him. And still Hinkley doesn’t step up.

Juxtapose that to the way Drew plays, watch him with his opponent off the ball. As clean a player as you’ll ever find. And for what reward?


It’s bad enough that Hinkley is just a bad coach, but he’s clearly a poor person too. There’s no way I can reconcile the things he claims he is with his actions after a decade of seeing them with my own eyes.
 
Voss and Carlton look like they're on the right track. But you watch, as soon as things start to go south Carlton will not hesitate for a moment to send Voss to the unemployment queue.
They were getting boo'd early last year. No issues with that from the AFL media.

Media to wrap their arms around Ken this week.
It wouldn't of even come close to this if the right decisions were made back in 2017.

When you look at professional sport around the world or even in the history of the afl....this performance by our supporters doesn't even come close to the worst.

If anything we deserve a freaking medal.

I'm sick of the excuses, the double standards, the gaslighting etc that seems to occur year, upon year, upon year.

I know for a fact that Hinkley has already been telling anyone who will listen to him within the footy department that the personnel in the forward line is not good enough to compete for a flag, and he's using that as an excuse to (hopefully in his eyes) piggyback himself to another year in the job.

This Muppet would have been run out of any Victorian club years ago! Instead, he is applauded by the media as a statesman of the Club - with absolutely nothing other than a McLelland Trophy in a compromised season to show for nearly 12 consecutive seasons in the one position as senior coach of our Club.

Today was a turning point. Despite such a terrible loss today, they are still 8-6. On paper, there is enough reason to pause and suggest that they can turn the season around relatively quickly with a few wins. At the same time, a few more losses would send them to around .500 at 8-8, at which point you can kiss top 4 hopes goodbye, and thus any chance of a flag goodbye.

The Board is only going to get rid of Ken once they are at the point of no return. It will be the moment they are ruled out of the finals that the Club can confidently act, knowing that they've given the coach every possible opportunity to turn things around - just like you see soccer coaches sacked once their team has been eliminated from the European league qualification standings in their domestic league table.

It means that the next month or so has the potential to get incredibly ugly. I can't actually recall a single day where the fans have been so in unison to get rid of Hinkley - not since the 0-5 start in 2022, when he (unfortunately) had enough time to weasel his way out of a precarious situation, and even then he survived a 4 game losing streak at the end of the year when the Club was in finals contention.

As unfortunate as it sounds, if we want change, we have to want the Club to continue to lose. We need the Club to become such a rabble on-field that the only recourse is for the Board to act and for Ken to be moved on.

It's amusing to me because Ken has told people at high levels within the Club within the last 12 months that if things go south, he would be happy to step aside for a new coach to come in. I believe that is nothing more than a dog whistle, but now that things are indeed going south, maybe Ken it is time for you to revisit those comments. Maybe your next point of call should be to have your manager Peter Blucher contact Chris Davies to discuss your severance package.

You Ken, have told people within the Club that you want to remain in Adelaide and remain part of the Port Adelaide community for the long term. If you care so much about our Club like you have proclaimed - do the right thing and arrange a payout over multiple years to 1) secure your financial future heading into retirement and 2) ensures the Club doesn't blow their soft cap next year which will allow a new coach to have a fully funded footy department on hand.

We were 14th in an 18 team competition...
