Funny listening to Campo after the game saying from where Ken is on the boundary, there is no way that he has been making game-day moves. He is in no position to see the play.

On a milestone night for Port coach Ken Hinkley, his future was right back in the spotlight after a six-goal belting against the Swans at the SCG
While the Swans were trending on X, so was Hinkley.
“Another year wasted with Ken. As soon as he knows he’s safe and will be coaching next year why bother trying,” was a comment from a fired up Port supporter.
“Why bother with (Charlie) Dixon? Why change the playing team from last week? Why can’t you see the way Sydney are controlling the game and change it up? Sack him!”
Another wrote: “Another prelim loss for Hinkley. That’s 4/4. Out coached. Pull the bandaid off please. Sack the fraud.”
A third added: “Alright so we won’t keep Hinkley now, right?”
Kane Cornes is wrong.
We absolutely have to pull the trigger even if it means a step back next season while we adjust. He's not going to take us forward and gets outcoached in big games. Better to do this now, than in the middle of next season.

I'd be happy to take someone untried like Sira if it means getting new ideas in. Ken is taking us nowhere.

Funny because even if he's in the coaching box he doesn't seem to be in a position to see the play
If it's not Buckley, I'd rather Carr over the other 2. Carr's overall gameplan ideas are not currently reflected in the team. His ideas at North Adelaide were very different and he's also got the advantage of already knowing the players, which can also be detrimental
I hope the board realise that the decision they need to make is about freshening up the club, not about whether Ken is a good coach or person.
There has to be a change. The Hawthorn win was a little sugar hit and another example of the flaws in Ken and his coaching group. We win and respond based on emotion. You need consistency in a game plan that stacks up when it matters. So, we have failed routinely in that respect, but it just appears to be the same failings again and again with the way we play.
It is staggering it has even got the point where he is talking about coming back next year. They simply have to relieve him of his role and we move on in a different direction.

I’ve seen it plenty. It’s not necessarily bad. It’s only bad when it’s used as BS to justify incompetence.

I hope someone has been busy stickering overnight
To be fair i think a lot of us have stopped listening to 90% of what he says. I have barely watched a presser in years.

Haven't been able to get to sleep, I'm so upset and angry. We've blown another golden opportunity and another season is wasted. F*** YOU HINKLEY, KOCH, RICHARDSON AND DAVIES FOR DESTROYING OUR CLUB!

This 100%
The callers like to highlight how the players get up for Ken and he gets huge emotional responses from them, but its not a sustainable system.
How the footy dept can't see that is beyond me.
Our gameplan just doesn't stack up to win a flag, it hasn't for years and years.
I was hopeful tonight because I thought if Ken can get the players breathing fire for just a couple more games after last week then we could actually win something, to hell with the gameplan, but he can't, it's a super taxing rollercoaster that they as a whole just jump on and off all year.

It’s now up to the supporters to get rid of him. Board is to Pissweak too. They are happy being average. Happy to just make the finals.
whether it’s not renewing, not turning up or booing him relentlessly

Koch says buffoonery things but when he says Hinkley is coach next year, it's always been a confirmation of a decision that's been made already. Unless there's about to be a move made to oust Koch as well, but I doubt it.

We had no chance, we can’t play 2 decent finals in a row ever. Emotion only gets u so far
Last week was all on emotion. We have too many sanflers in the team and too many who can’t cope under pressure too many who shit the bed, too many with shit skills. We have a gameplan that has never stacked up yet we roll with it every year.
Out coached last night as we almost all our big games, same shit different big game
They will never win anything with this coaching group and this game style

My biggest thing with Hinkley is his complete disregard and acknowledgement of the fans.( Apart from his very poor finals record of course. ) PAFC have never had a coach that shows this much dislike for the people that helped build this club.
ITS THE FANS KEN!!!! Now f*** off
ITS THE FANS KEN!!!! Now f*** off
100% we rely on emotion not structure. It can get us a win here or there but it will never get us to a flag. Ridiculous how no one at the club can see this.

Yep. We struggle to win two big games in a row during the minor round, year after year, because of this reason. How can we ever win two finals in a row let alone three? Hinkley doesn't have what it takes and never will.
It's been another bad finals series. We still let the Hawks have the last say of that game.
You knew last night's result the second Hinkley strutted towards Jack Ginnivan to gob off. Look at me cocky w
He's such a selfish campaigner.

‘Emotion only gets u so far’ ……spot on!
