Hi Port Power fans, just came by to say if the list is bad then that's not Hinkley's responsibility but if the list is good then that is because it is Hinkley's responsibility anyway guys have you thought about wearing black and teal prison bars anyway see you at the footy xoxo
I think the list is good.
Just not quite good enough.

Love the B&T prison bars idea btw.
In fact I suggested something similar myself a while back.
The reception was... less than enthusiastic.

But this thread is about Ken not Haberdashery.
 
I'll choose my words carefully as I'm aware I'm a guest here.

There is an argument that could be made that your list isn't the best in the comp, nor was it in any of the past seasons were discussing.
The flip side is if you DO rate it as the best then you need to give Ken massive props for list management.

Personally (and being fully aware you beat us twice this year) I think you have a few areas of list weakness that the top teams can exploit.
How would anyone know how good or bad the list is, we only have the list as coached by Hinkley and nothing to compare it against. Our list has no depth I accept that but we have 9 separate All-Australian players, one Brownlow medalist another with multiple top 3 finishes. Pretty much our number 4 midfielder has a Brownlow in the last 3 years.

I think its fair to say our list is decent.

Is the list without fault - of course not and we have done some very dubious recruiting in the pursuit of giving Hinkley "the missing pieces".

But there comes a time when enough is enough and internally at Port this was the year we were going to win the Premiership and it has resulted in the same usual failure.

Sack Hinkley he is the cause not the solution.

You always do what you always done you gonna get what you always got.

What does him coaching next year give us.

A sacking part way through because it gets really bad?. Another St Kilda "Streak". We make finals where twelve years shows he won't take us anywhere and Koch extends based on (who the **** knows).

He may be mother Teresa in a Port Jacket but sorry he can't get it done and somebody needs to carry the can

We exist to win premierships. No you ****ing don't.
This administration is so weak, and so joined at the hip with this loser, that I can actually imagine this scenario playing out. Imagine Hinkley coaches for the whole minor round, and we make the top 4. We then exit the finals in straight sets.

This would leave Ken on 299 games, and in that scenario, the club would more than likely feel duty bound to extend his contract, to get him to 300. Sounds insane, but I wouldn't put it past them.
 
“Scared money don’t make money”.

Why would players leave because Ken gets sacked? He won’t get a coaching job elsewhere, so where are they going to?
I've posted the question before, what AFL player is going to tear up their contract to go and be coached by Daddy Donuts in some Victorian bush league?

The fact that our CEO sees this as a genuine possibility shows how clueless he really is.
 
Ok, lets play devils advocate for a second and say the list right now isn't up to.

This is Kens twelfth season and essentially 3rd list, when do we say the guy is clearly incapable of building and developing a GF list?? Another 3-4 years making him almost a 20 year coach...pfft

And also, if he isn't to blame at all for the last twelve years of failure, surely someone is? Should probably be sacking Parker and Cripps right?

Haven't you heard? Kenny's got no say in that. He turns up for pre-season each Christmas and is presented with an advent calendar with spuds lurking behind each door. It's a miracle he doesn't ask for more money to cover reputational damage.
 
KG with his finger on the pulse this morning. “Ken had to make do with injuries, he couldn’t select Anderson” Cue KG and Cornes then trying to work out who Anderson is before realising they meant Marshall. These same experts now telling us why Ken has done a wonderful job.
There's 3 things KG can never remember - names, telephone numbers, and the 3rd thing :).
 
I've heard tonite it's more likely now he will be sacked than not, although I will believe it when I see it. It might be the case though with his friends and premier Pete going in to bat for him. Ken knows he is in strife and is trying to gather support in one last ditch effort to survive and make it harder for the club to sack him

We always manage to find new ways of embarrassing ourselves, literally our own worst enemy with everything.
If Koch were to spend more time saying nothing, we as a club would embarrass ourselves a lot less. I swear the man only opens his mouth to change feet.
 
The embarrassment continues


‘I just can’t believe it… I think he has every reason to hold his head up really high.’ Premier Peter Malinauskas has backed under-fire Power coach Ken Hinkley as the right man for the job crediting his success and longevity

Another reason to add to my ever growing of reasons that I hate this ****er. Tries to be popular and has no substance whatsoever. He has ****ed the health system even more than the libs did!
 
The protection racket in full swing


Graham Cornes in his weekly Camry Crows' Newsletter talks up Hinkley as a great coach that the PAFC would be crazy to get rid of.

Quelle surprise.
 
How's this for the polar opposite of Ken Hinkley.

You have most definitely heard correctly :cool:
