‘Not going to be a smart-arse’: Defiant Port coach’s testy presser before defining crunch final

‘Not going to be a smart-arse’: Defiant Port coach’s testy presser before defining crunch final

It's a shame we didn't learn this the previous 20 times over 12 years.

I wonder why?

It’s almost as if he actually believes you can win a premiership in effort alone - that his game plan doesn’t make any difference.

 

[ClintEastwood]

A guy I work with just emailed me with the news that someone he knows has been speaking with Ken's son - our beloved coach is 100% GONE!!!

You --- guy you work with --- someone he knows --- ken's son --- ken

I'm not jumping for joy quite yet.

 

[PowerBaz]

That response lol. What a grade A campaigner

How often can we just do what needs to be done on the front foot - always having to 'respond' - I mean i'm ****ing tired...

 

[Del165198]

That response lol. What a grade A campaigner

Hurh hurh I've got a contract

Yeah and you're getting sacked mate piss off

 

[Gryllis]

This is what we said last year. Til it turned out that he actually would still be at the club.

This is the problem.

There have been times where it's felt like he was even closer to being sacked over the past 5 years than he is this week - sometimes even without a contract for the next season.

Yet it never happens. I won't believe it until he's fake crying into his Pepsi Max as it's announced at the press conference.

That is one of the poorest displays I've seen from a coach in a press conference in recent memory. If the media wonder why we don't perform in finals under Hinkley that should be classed as exhibit A. The pressure gets to him every time, and today, it seems that it finally broke him.

That's deplorable from Hinkley today in my opinion. Especially when compared to Chris Scott

last week. Scott oozed confidence and his team played accordingly. We have this bumbling idiot who is clearly rattled by pressure and the moment ahead.

Tomorrow night could get ugly if that performance rubs off on the players which judging on past performances is every chance of happening.

Did you actually think he was getting sacked last year after that finals debacle?

 

[Sheeds]

I've had a few people say to me "You can't replace Ken with an untried AFL Senior Coach" Which makes no sense at all. But they are also unable to process my response that Ken himself was untried AFL Senior Coach when Port hired him.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Yeah, since his last press conference.

Every coach is an untried senior coach at some point.

Who was the last previously experienced senior coach to win a flag? Mick maltshake?

After seeing what Craig McRae achieved in just his second year, how thick can these people be!? That could be Adam Kingsley in just a couple of weeks, and Sam Mitchell could be the one to end Hinkley's career tomorrow night and he had the shoes of a 4x premiership coach to fill!

I'll never know how these human beings function in everyday life.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I have thought he was going to get sacked multiple times.

Just like I keep believing that maybe this final will be different.

I'm a sucker like that.

And yet I still get gaslit for "not being a real supporter".

 

[AdamMarrett]

Yeah, since his last press conference.

This one is different. In a lot of ways.

Someone else posted it, but what type of coach challenges the club's board the day before a final? He could have said I'm not answering that question we have a big game to focus on and quickly moved on. Instead, he goes the other way and makes a mess of it. You can hear the Victorian media preparing their defence of him for tomorrow morning's press already. That looks to be by design on his part. No one will convince me otherwise.

This was his worst performance in a presser for some time. He has a huge catalogue of choices to choose from but today takes the cake for me.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Young senior coaches seem to be the meta

This is an absolutely absurd suggestion nor reflecting reality. Hit them with this statistic - in recent history, the last 20 years, every premiership has been won by a first-time coach (except 2010 with Malthouse). And it usually happens relatively early in their tenure

All of that history shows you that a premiership run is more probable when you get the next best assistant, with an innovative idea/gameplan that they have been working on, ready to unleash for competitive advantage

It’s the “who ya gonna get” crowd that actually don’t have an argument

How does the media continue to kiss Hinkley's arse when he treats them like dirt in the pressers? Pathetic.

I was agreeing with you, and adding to it.

He needs to be run out of South Australia.

Look i get we are all frustrated with KH but this is just not true, Hinkley has historically been too nice in pressers. I haven't listened to the latest presser though.
