Well I guess we can rule out one breed

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Guys like McRae, Kingsley and Mitchell who everyone loves on our board got there jobs from an interview process.
What you’re saying is we shouldn’t even look at that process when Ken finally goes.
Don’t worry about what so called in the know people say on here, if Ken’s gets us to a flag Josh Carr will be in an old folks home before Ken goes.

If we do the correct thing and have a process to see what’s available WHEN the job becomes available and Carr is chosen as the best choice it’s all good.
What’s your problem with at least looking?
Every other club does it.

Do you even read and understand what people say? Or do you just understand what you want to hear?


Right now there is no good head coach available like a Chris Scott or a Longmire till the end of the next season, and that’s if they want to come here.

Of course you naturally do your due diligence and do a search, but the club would have done that with Josh as every other club has done with any other coach they want to hire ever.

As I said before, a succession plan just doesn’t happen without the club being incredibly confident and convinced that they have their man to take them to the summit, which is the premiership, and that’s again with Josh him going through this same rigmarole as every other potentially candidate does doing the same interview process as everyone else.

What are you suggesting that the club gave Josh the job for the sake of filling the role?

Well I guess we can rule out one breed

Beloved family dog Archie has rallied his paws around Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley, after a controversial incident at last Friday night’s semi-final victory game.

Archie’s owner, Andrej Wojciechowski of Glenelg North, said the family – who are all long-time Port Adelaide fans – decided to dress their 8-year-old border collie in the ‘Yes We Ken’ t-shirt- after witnessing the backlash Hinkley received after a wild outburst at Hawthorn.

...

“We’ve had those t-shirts over the years, so with Ken copping all the pressure through the year my son Jude, thought we (should) show more support for Ken and get Archie on board,” Mr Wojciechowski said.

“So, we paused the video and got him to watch the TV.”

I know people are uneasy about Carr because it feels like we're promoting from within, I am as well.

But he's absolutely got an AFL head coach ready resume. He's been highly regarded as an assistant even before he returned here, and has had experience as a head coach as well, at North Adelaide where he led them to a 27-year drought breaking flag.

He's ready. If we don't give him the job, someone else will.

At this point I don't care if it's carr coaching, as long it's not stinkley.

 

[240volt]

And yet you haven't seemed to grasp the idea that the Club believe they have the best candidate available already in house. It's why they made assurances to said candidate 12 months ago, because otherwise he was off to Richmond.

You're going to be complaining for a long time given the Club are not going to do an Australia wide search upon replacing Ken.

Every man and his Dog knows Carr will take over when Ken goes, we don’t do what other clubs do we have our own ways.
That’s why there’s a special thread just for Koch and your mates.

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Understand your point but if Hinkley doesn't finish up until the end of 2025, other candidates that could be considered won't come into the equation because of a decision made 2 or 3 years prior, that means that the people that could be considered, that could be better will not be considered.

This to me this is like extending Ken before we have even played a final and we all know how that turned out.

It doesn't matter what anyone says, we cannot see the future so in 2026 there may be better candidates or no candidates, who knows.

I suppose these are the pit falls of a succession plan.

Yeah, but there’s a big if to whether Ken is coaching next week or not.

If Ken gets sacked, Josh will become our next head coach, and Josh becomes our head coach because the club has done their due diligence in research, interviews, etc… and turning over every stone available.

This isn’t the end of 25 where we could sign Chris Scott or another big name coach.

Your a fool, they have done a search before the coach goes
They go through the phone book?
Who did they interview?
Would have been interesting process.
We might have a coaching job next year or it might be in a couple of years depending on how we go, are you interested?

“Your a Fool” lol that’s very rum coming from you

This club is run by bums, that’s why people like Hinkley still have a job.
Always remember that when these appointments are discussed.

So tell me all about this mystery search?

Personally I would rather the club advertise within the AFL that when Stinkers is in his final year, (god knows when that will be) that they are looking for a senior coach and interview all applicants, that would be my preference.

You don’t need a crystal ball to tell you that Josh will be the next coach once Ken leaves.

You also don’t need a crystal ball to tell you that the club did everything that a club normally would as all across sports do when they appointed a head coach.

Josh didn't get given the job just for the sake of it.

About the same IQ.Sorry Archie. Didn't mean to denigrate you.

One game from a grannie, Ken is not getting sacked

 

[ploppy]

Prelim Ken is $3.25 to get his first prelim win..and that seems unders. But even a broken clock is right twice a day so maybe we can win despite Ken making all the wrong calls.

There is not much wrong with succession plans but I think what some people are concerned about is our current administration and coach and do they trust them to make the right calls and judgements.

Some of us would still think with our dick... And make mistakes

I think we have been down the same street once upon a time.

So tell me all about this mystery search?

Simple. You don’t need to be Einstein to realise by reading in between the lines these things. Have a look at the coaches available right now.

Ash Hansen, Jaymie Graham, and Daniel Giansiracusa, amongst other coaches, are the best coaches available who have been linked with head coach jobs around the league. Josh is no different when you compare him with these coaches due to his lack of experience as an AFL head coach. So there's no point going to those coaches, plus, in my opinion, I think Josh is a better option than them, although I do like Hansen; he’s a very good tactician, imo.

Secondly, the club would have signed Clarko if it weren’t for his absurd demands; he probably would have been our head coach because powerbrokers came to the club to make it happen and don’t forgot this was at a time where the club couldn’t financially sack Hinkley. Ask Chewy316 if you want to go more in detail with that.

Dimma I don’t know what happened there. Maybe the club didn’t consider him, probably because he was gonna make shït tonnes at GC and we couldn't have matched it, plus maybe there were no powerbrokers who were going to the club in making that happen (that’s just a guess on my behalf), but I would pick up the phone seen where he was at.


So with that being said, I see why the club would go down the path of a succession plan, plus you have to add with Josh, he has had the experience in the coaching box at AFL level with Freo and us, on top of the fact he got North Adelaide to their first flag in 27 years to enhanced his CV compare that to other coaches available outside of the Chris Scott and John Longmire of the world. Which if the club wants any of these blokes, you would surely be having talks with them and not still pumping this succession plan narrative like they have been doing for quite sometime.

That's come in a bit. It was $3.65 on Monday

I’m not convinced, ultimately, because the footy committee is the one making the call on his future, not the board. Kochie passing the buck to the footy committee on this one.

The footy committee view on Ken has changed since the last contract extension.

This happened at the end of a 5-year span that began as flag favourites and culminated with just 1 losing Elimination Final to show for it.

Not only did he survive, but we were berated by the media as delusional morons for wanting his head to roll.

He could leave a steamer in Koch’s centre console after losing by triple figures and he’s 50/50 to cop an extension, while Gerard Whateley and Kane Cornes would eviscerate us for not grabbing a spoon and tucking in.

Fun fact: Ben Brown on his way to kicking 10.1 took 6 marks. Not one of them was a contested mark. All ****ing uncontested.

 

[GremioPower]

Mate they were never going to sack Ken in 2019 considering their debt levels in conjunction with his contract not ending until end of 2020 (with a trigger for 21).

Then, they should have all RESIGNED in shame for having approved that stupid contract.

No one did. (I just checked it. KT only left after 2020.)

They have no shame.
